Drove in and caught Celeste and Andrew getting ready for the big event.


Ever since scabies was bumped up to cult status the police always send a squad car. Just in case there is trouble again.




First off a little poison from the bugfair sponsor...


Plenty of things to do if you dont really care for bugs...




Some of these pinned bug collectors go too far IMHO. :roll:


SCABIES had a tough spot. The competition was fierce. I was worried because across from the scabies table was this poorly lit rock display. My fears were unfounded though. Very few people were checking out the rocks ..and IMO, the scabies table was at the very least a small factor in this.


Celeste brain washing a future cult member.






Some bugs!






Just a few words regarding some of you dealers.
Overall Crazy Dave did OK, but he could have sold much more. The customers were there, but his desperate, angry, unyielding attitude drove many away.

...

Ken the Bug Guy on the other hand demonstrated a much more positive and productive salesmanship style. Ken told me he just follows the old school basics ..."the customer is always right, honesty is the best policy, sell with a smile on your face, and that its better to gain future customers with great deals over making the quick buck." I asked him what he thought of his competition. "Most of them are good guys." He replied.


Anyway... I had a good time. Got distracted enough to have missed at least one important person/table.
Farting around with the new camera so much that I dont think I took a single good pic. Could have used my cell phone camera.

Happiness is but a Death Stalker away...
