So, I have a show tonight that I think I am going to have to cancel.
The host is still up for it, because all her guests are local and have 4WD vehicles.
It's pretty bad out and she lives up a long windy, mountainous road.
Any ideas on how I can pull off this show without being there????
LOL
Just trying to salvage the show...
:(
 
You should so totally do a Skype show!! That would be so fun!! If the host is still down for the party I would try to find a way to salvage the booking. Sorry I can't be of more help. We don't get many bad weather days here in Central TX (not to where we have to cancel parties anyway). Although, if it's raining about half of the intended people will actually show up. LOL!

Good luck girl! I hope you can somehow make it work!

Well, we cancelled it. She has a bunch of outside orders, so we are putting a small show in on Sunday and she re-scheduled for March 12th.
I am bummed, but it could be worse. :(
 
I had to postpone a show on February 12 because of snow. That does not happen often in Georgia at all, but the host lives over one hour from me. I just could not take the risk. A friend of mine ran off the road that right (she is just fine, but the car is not), so I know I made the right decision.

The rescheduled show is this Saturday.

You totally made the right decision!
