You just are not looking at this right. Tonight is the GA PC party. During commercials we will play with tools and learn about new products. During showtime we will snack and make snarky comments. At the end of the show I'll be available to take orders.
You did say this was an experienced PC group and that you wanted something different.

OK, first off let me say this was the worst show of my life!! This lady has a ton of kids and is married to a doctor (that I know has money because I used to work for him!) but their house is 1960's! She is totally scatterbrained!! The show starts at 7, so I got their at 6 pm. I didn't even have a place to put my crate much less to have a display. She was shoving piles of crap off the counter into boxes and throwing the 3 foot high pile of laundry (in the living room) into a spare bedroom. The doctor swept the floor, she kept answering the ringing phone, and all the kids were in the house in other parts. I was just standing in the living room by myself. There wasn't a place to sit even.
At 6:55 there still wasn't anyone there, then at 7pm my mom pulled in (one of her aquaintences) as the hostess ran the vacuum around the living room. What happened to preparation?? I always have crap all over my counters, but I have NO laundry piled up in my living space, and people can at least sit down in my living room. Yuck! I didn't want to ask to use the bathroom!
So the actually show went okay. There were four guests plus her, and I made the Mom's Apple Crisp. I hate apple pie, but it was really good! The guests thought it was really cool that the stones go in the micro, but they want to try it with the ones they already have. I needed to sell 9 stones to get to 24, and I sold 2 or 3. The hostess is really interested in the 7 piece stoneware set deal, so hopefully I will get close enough to fudge. I am also the past host....uh....um......I mean my SIL is the past host, so I get one at 60% off. I am SO glad this show is over!!
