So... we're working on organizing a "Best Costume Contest" at the flea market for this Halloween. Let me backtrack a bit...
Almost 2 months ago, the rent increase was announced by the management. We heard all kinds of complaints and bullshit from other 'vendors' on how they're going to leave, rumors that the flea market is being sold, rumors that it is closing, and even a bunch of few tw*ts ganging together to draft a petition!
In that 'petition' discussion, the main topic was that no advertisement was made and nothing was happening to attract new people in.
So, Robin and I talked about it, and I suggested we do something for Halloween, so we came up with the idea of the costume contest.
Now, after we figured out what exactly we wanted to do, we talked with the management and presented our ideas so we could make sure they were on board, and we could go ahead and plan this whole thing.
Then, we came up with the idea that other vendors could sponsor us so we wouldn't have to absorb all the cost of the event.
I went around and handed out flyers explaining what we were planning. I asked for $100 per business to sponsor us. Their $100 would buy them a spot on the event posters and all ads that we'll run online, so they would get some good exposure from all the advertisements.
So far, only 3 vendors are willing to go in with us. And all 3, have zero need to advertise, but they like the idea and doing it to help us.
But get this: Every single one of the MFCs (Inappropriate translation) who bitched and moaned that "nothing is happening" and that "we need to do something to bring people in..." bullshit, wants no part in it!
I told a few of them: "You're all talk. Y'all want something to happen, and when it actually does happen, you want no part of it."
Oh, I'm gonna tell everyone who ever says anything like that ever again, that they're all so full of shit! I'll even get it on a sign and put it in front of my crystal ball! 😡
Im going to win the big price with my invisibility cloak!!! Vinegar pissers is what we call those kind of people... the are sour and piss over the fact nobody does anything if you bring up an idea they piss over the idea...
