Call for Artists, Making Money at Juried Art Fairs, Craft Shows and Festivals

After last weekends mishap of leaving some important things in storage ( tent sides and display stands) I find myself curious as to what others have left at home. My second show a few years ago I left most of my earrings. What have you forgotten or misplaced that you need for your show?

That one's worth a drum roll and a rim shot ;-)

I once ..and only once forgot my very detailed checklist of 

what to bring to the show...it has not happened since (1993)

I seemed to have left something behind from almost every show this year.  One was my track lighting for a show in PA (I am in Michigan).  I still had time to have them overnight them, but the us postal service screwed up and the lights arrived during the second day of the show.  It was my third time I had to buy lights at Home Depot.  I carry an extra set of lights in my trailer at all times now.  I can't remember the other things I forgot...how bad is that? 

 One time I was doing a small local show.  My car was in the shop so I actually took a cab, it was a table provided, small church kind of show. A day before I had been taking pictures of earrings, only one earring in each shot.  Well in my haste to pack I left half of the earrings home. Thats right, I had one of each earring. Another artist actually loaned me her car to go home and get them. I filled her gas tank and was very grateful.

It is fun to see what we have all left behind. My last show I left my brain at home and after it was over I left my arse at the park.
