Inspiration at Rusty Cock Ridge (NWFC Day 4)

Francois had also wanted to buy a Giant Penny, but the vendor had run out.  I gave him mine, since he had paid $20 for my $5 pair of shoes.

The $5 Replacement shoes.

Then I sent Trish over to NW Costume to replace the size 20s with the next largest pair they had left: size 18s.  They should be big enough but more manageable in the act.

Then I took Orion over to Rusty Cock Ridge to replace the penny.  I wound up with so much more!

I bought a JUMBO Gold $20 coin as well.  Now I have a full set: Copper, Bronze, Silver, and Gold!

If you can’t earn a Gold Medal, buy some Gold Metal.

I also hit on the inspiration to connect Carolee with Sprout.  Carolee recently made the news with her synchronized swimming group, and Sprout recently earned a Gold for her synchronized swimming skit.  Carolee said the swimmers would be having a show in December, and I promised to connect them through facebook.  But, gosh, I don’t have a routine all worked up to coordinate with that.

Carolee asked me to publicize my services more.  Maybe somebody would want me to come to their Halloween party.  Maybe Rusty Cock Ridge would want to hire me… HUH? WHAT?  She would have to talk to the boss, but he was usually a push-over.  [She’s married to him.  Who’s really the boss?]

I sat down with some paper and drafted a proposal for their venue.    When the topic of price came up Orion was chiming in “By Donation!” WTF!  I had to gag him with one hand and say that it was negotiable.  I figure I could certainly accept a large percentage in trade since they have a lovely PHOTOGRAPHY business and BOUTIQUE!
