It's Been A Few Days

So, our recent activities have been interesting. I haven't taken the time to post in a while, so here's how it's been.

Went back to BWW on Tuesday, only to get asked to leave. It seems although some of the management liked us there, some of it also didn't. Our next venue was downtown Lansing again, with Brannigan Brothers. Great food, but we didn't really make any money on Tarot there. Worthy to hang out at, though, and we met some cool people.

After that, it was time to take a few days off, so we did. Then it was time to enjoy Welcome Week at MSU. We're not students, but there were some cool things going on that anyone could attend.

First off, there's always going to random house parties. There's enough of them, and lots of kids to meet, but it's not a good time to do Tarot. We handed out a few business cards (found my business card paper and printed some new ones for my partner, as well as a new stack for myself) and met some cool people. Mostly they were interested in me fixing their computers. As a CS guy, I do a lot of computer repair stuff really well and charge a fair price for it since I have no overhead. The first day, Sunday night, was mostly walking between parties and meeting people. After only a little of this, we heard from one of our tattoo clients, who wanted us to go over and tattoo him. However, when we got there, he wasn't there. We're rather annoyed at the waste of gas and time, especially on a night when we were short resources.

On Monday we went to the Union building to find a lot of interesting things going on. Too many people to really meet anyone well, but we got some cool swag and free food, I got to do a climbing wall, and we played some pool. A good day, and the swag was pretty cool, mostly energy shots and a few keychain flashlights.

Tuesday was Sparticipation, where, I reconnected with my old friends at a few student groups. I tend to be involved in the local pagan group, so I had fun reconnecting with them. Spent some time with a few of those old friends in the evening as well.

Wednesday was the first meeting of said Pagan group, and we hung out with the same friends both before and after the group meeting. My partner taught one of them to make Dragon's Blood oil from the resin and grapeseed oil, which was a fun project. After that, it was pretty late so we just went home and relaxed.

Thursday, last night, we went to The Riv, a sort of seedy little bar very near campus. I really like The Riv, and I received one extremely good tip after a lot of good readings for no tips. This was very good, as we were really short on cash at the time, so we could buy gas and smokes and afford to go out again today. We also made a few more great contacts.

Today, we're back at Crunchy's. I really enjoy Crunchy's... and one of the waitresses that knows who we are and what we do is here serving us. Still a little short on cash, so I hope tonight goes well. The place is pretty hopping right now, which is a good sign. We also might end up with tattoo work tonight, from some of our recent contacts. So, at the moment, we're drinking soda and coffee and hanging out, enjoying the atmosphere. Almost time to have a smoke, then get to work on Tarot and meeting people. Signing off for now. Enjoy yourselves.
