Ok, things haven't been going well on my end of the wheel either. Yesturday I got a cancelation or postponement because the lady said someone had threatened to kill her and her family! Nice, huh? Well, I am not too happy with this guy myself at this point. Last week one of my hosts needed to put her show off a week, and today she tells me that she is just too busy! Now, waiting for a 3rd to finally call me back to give me her excuse.

Any suggestions on getting new bookings?? I am going to try taking it on the road and go to a ball park tomorrow night with free dessert and products, hopefully to collect orders and bookings! Still have 3 possibly 4 shows left this month. No longer really holding my breath on it!:confused:

Wasn't there another thread where the wife/girlfriend had stabbed her DH/boyfriend with a new forged cutlery knife?
