I am very concerned...last year I had Jan booked by this time...right now I only have two January bookings and both are for the end of the month...I have a Mom I know from my sons' school who is interested in hosting a show in January, I just need to nail her down for a date. I hope I can get her to do the first week of January. Last year my earliest show was on the 4th.

One thing that has bothered me in the past about scheduling early January is all of the bowl games. Luckily the only game on January 5 is the International Bowl, which is not usually a big game.
This website will give you the rest of the schedule. Of course there might be that host out there who would like to schedule a show during a game, but there just does not seem to be many of them.

For various personal reasons, I never start my January until around the 8th or 9th of the month. With the new Janaury booking incentive, I am going to really try for a few cataog shows (collecting orders between Christmas and the "show date".)
I do not attend Leadership cause my family does a bit weekend event around the exact time of Leadership...but I do try to start as soon as school re-starts.
I tend to offer an extra incentive of some kind for shows before the 15th of January...so often I have 1-2; I really get busier later in teh month.
With the guest specail being any stoneware in January, I am truly hoping for a more vigorous 1st month of the year in 2008 (last year was DISMAL).
