NSN Festival 2012- Day 1

Day 1 of the NSN Festival was super bumpin' and went a lot more smooth than the past 2 years that I've participated and organized the Vendor Village. This year, I made sure to set up the other vendors the night before so it wouldn't take up too much time and stress the morning of my biggest event all year. Most of the morning was calm since doors were only open to V.I.P guests so this is the only chance I got to take the most photos. I always smack myself for not forcing myself to take more photos throughout the day, but most times I get too caught up with meeting all the awesome people and assisting vendors with what they need. This year so many more of you walked in our mobile shop! I think my new chalkboard sign helped ease the confusion of why a big silver trailer was parked in the middle of the park grounds. Returning as my assistant for the 3rd year in a row was Jenny and she brought one of her best friends along as a 2nd assistant, Dante. It takes a certain person to be able to work a festival… the dirt, the wind, the crowds, the loud, constant music, the drunk people, the sun, the lifting and cleaning and on and on. Jenny has definitely been a life saver these past 3 years and Dante passed the Monikapolitan test with flying colors this year, I couldn't have survived without them!
