AJ’s flight was delayed by an hour. The fog was amazingly thick this morning and his plane was unable to land. His delay left me running extremely late for the Brooklyn Indie Market. I should have been there by 10 am but did not get there till 12:30 pm.
The oppressive heat left Sarah, Crystal and I seeking refuge within the shade of the kiosk, chugging water and trying to stay within the cool air of the fan I brought. It was so hard for me not to feel ill. I’ve still been so sick, suffering from a constant shortness of breath, and the heat only made me feel that much worse.
When 3 O’clock hit and I realized I still hadn’t sold anything, I decided to pick up my stuff and head home. The hope of a sale or two just wasn’t enough for me to endure the heat and how shitty I felt. I was just looking forward to return home and take a nap in the air conditioning, which is exactly what I did.
The Brooklyn Indie Market was my first time at any market, or show. I’m a little discouraged that I didn’t even have anyone take my business card. Anyway, it would be nice to hear about other people’s show experience and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
