I don't think I ever shared the story of my Wacky Show a couple of weeks ago.......
Myself and a Cookie Lee consultant decided to swap shows. I actually wanted to have a show and she volunteered herself for one. She wanted to have it during the week of the knife giveaway so we scheduled it for Friday night at 6pm. During my host coaching calls, she was always a little flaky. I would remind her to call her guests to tell them about the show and she acted like it was a new idea - duh, her Cookie Lee host coaching sheet tells me to do the same thing. She seemed to want to do everything by email. Oh well, she was expecting 5 people, not bad. She was upset though because she had invited 20. Another DUH, you have to invite about 40 - another thing her CL host coaching sheet told me to do.
Well I show up at 5 pm to get ready for her show and, are you ready for this one????
She is MOVING IN to her apartment!!!!!!!! Yes, I said MOVING IN. They were literally bringing in the dining room table as I was knocking on the door. I was stunned! I asked her why she would possibly host a show on a day she was moving! She said because it was the only day she could have it during the knife giveaway week! I guess our knives are popular!
Well, I commenced to setting up in the kitchen. It was fine, I had plenty of room - SINCE THERE WAS NOTHING IN THERE!!! Her brother shows up at 6:10 with the ingredients, the show was at 6. Her fiance gets there about 6:15. He goes to their old apartment to get ice, dishes and utensils. I start cooking and going through my spiel with her and her brother. Her first guest shows up at 6:45 and the second at 7:00. The first is content to sit on the couch and look through the catty. Pretty much, I'm just hanging out, cooking, drinking mojitos and getting drunk! The second guest had to leave before 8 because "they start charging cover at 8"! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
I really like this girl (she's a friend of mine), so I just take it all in and have a good time!
Her show closed at just over $300 with 3 bookings. The girl sitting on the couch not paying attention at all really wants to have a show because its so much fun. Huh? You didn't even pay attention. Oh well, maybe we'll all get drunk again!
