I guess I'm just down a bit. I only have one booking left for June and one for July and then nothing much til September! I have no leads, people I thought would definitely book (people I've known for many many years!) haven't even acknowledged that I'm selling TPC, one even blocked half her profile from me on Facebook after she declined an invite to my Grand Opening because of a cat allergy and I moved the location (to help accommodate her, but also so my kids could go to bed on time)!!
I don't know tons of people (and most of the people I do know are all related), I worked one trade show, but it was with my director who knows everyone and their dog. I also advertised at our community yard sale (which generated my remaining June booking) and did get a catalogue into the staff room at the local school. I plan on putting advertising up in all the local businesses in the next week.
I guess I'm just not feeling at all confident. Reading here almost makes me feel worse because people are bummed about $500 shows when my largest was $340!!! People who I thought would be excited and willing to "help" by hosting just haven't. Put that on top of summer and the fact that I'm just stressed in general is just not good.
