Not sure where to post this, so it's going in here ...
Tonight is my first show. It is with a really good friend. She tells me we have 9 guests coming. I'm making the Chocolate Strawberry Skillet Cake, which I've now made twice at home. Since there is really nothing to demo with that (the chopper for the chocolate and the knife for the strawberries), I'll slice a potato on the Utimate Mandoline, press a clove of garlic in the press, zest a lemon - all of a sudden I can't remember what else I told her to have -- but I'll have the tools for whatever it is. Oh, I'll do the ice cube in the cookware thing. I have a general show outline given to me by my director. I think I remember the name of all the toys, but I'll do another run-through to be sure. I have catalogs, order forms, my little notebook with my host/guest specials.
What do you wish you had remembered to do at YOUR first show? I do plan on having fun - this, after all, isn't rocket science! Nobody dies if I screw it up
ETA: Oh, and I'm baking her a pan of choc chip cookies during the show as a thank you for being my friend and having my first show - she has a day care and she can feed it to the kiddos tomorrow. Plus, I figure the smell of baking cookies during the show can't hurt!
