I'd like to ask the tribe for a bit of assistance if it's not asking too much.
You see, I'm trying to get to Sun n Fun this year as a vendor to sell my little flap handle gadget. But the nice folks there use the same financial business model as Al Capone.
(Except in the old days, you could actually ask Al Capone for a favor). The smallest booth in the least desirable building is $1500, and Mr. Capone says no discount for a bad economy or a new vendor or even someone coming all the way from Los Angeles.
For reasons known only to my wife and my banker (over at the First National Bank of Ruptcy) I'm trying to find a way to save some significant expenses on transportation and lodging so I can even make it to the show. So I have schemed... er... scammed... er - concocted a plan.
If there is any Taylorcraft tribe member in the immediate area of Lakeland FL that is planning and wants to go to the Sun n Fun show, I will offer them free admission vendor's passes and vendor parking in exchange for daily transportation to/from the show and letting me crash on the couch at night. You do not have to be in my booth, except to sit down and have a cold soda whenever you want.
This will save someone a bunch of money on admission and parking. Again, this will make the most sense to someone who was already going to go to the show each day, and who lives within driving distance. Oh yeah, and someone who doesn't mind a ridiculous airport bum crashing on their couch.
I will also be interested in making the same deal with a tribe member in the Anchorage AK area for the big Alaska Airmen's trade show in May.
