Vending on the Road


I've been waiting for the UPS man for a few weeks now, and would have given up hope if it wasn't for the "track your package" option. I have been waiting for the final shipment of goods we are going to try and sell while on tour this June, and today I got the glowsticks! The first round were destroyed in transit... yeah that was funny.

Jay and I wanted to figure out a way to make money by selling legal ;) stuff in the lots. When on the road for a month, spending like evil monkeys, every earned penny will add up! We figured since we really have nothing else to do, we'd become a part of the scene by getting to the parking lots early and setting up shop and possibly helping create Shakedown Streets across the USA (a dream come true, of course). Attracting passers by with tunes, good smells, and perhaps some live entertainment; customers will hopefully pony up the $1-2 for our shite.

We have decided to sell:
Glow Necklaces, cuz seriously who doesn't want to glow in the dark?
Kettle Corn, cheap, yummy, and the smell will travel for a few rows. POP pOp!
Earplugs... little, yellow, and effective!
Cold bottled water, better than the $5 you'll spend inside!
Blow Pops, come on... it's 2 treats in 1

If it all doesn't work out... I love blowpops and will always need earplugs!
