In reply to: Grumpy me having trouble with henna politics at Renn Fair- help? posted by Lauren on October 1, 2001 at 21:08:02:

I don't think you're being grumpy! You're pissed and you have reason
to be!! Can you remember the name of the person you talked to who
said you could trade dancing for being the exclusive henna artist?
You need to find that person and give them a piece of your mind! I
know you're trying to be sweet because you want to do some
networking, but letting people walk all over you in NOT newtorking!!

I don't think the other vendor, who's only doing henna as an aside to
the other stuff she's selling, should have exclusivity as the henna
artist. I've participated in festivals where I've asked during pre-
registration, "Have you ever had a henna booth at this fair before?
How many henna artists will there be?" and they've said back to
me "Oh, we've not EVER had a henna artist, you're the only one!" And
I get there and there are like FIVE other henna artists.

At this festival, is there more than one food booth, more than one
clothing 'n' equipment booth? Well, then there can be more than one
henna booth.

But if you don't think you'll get much business because of the cold
weather, my advice would be to cut your losses and find some other
way to make use of your valuable time than dealing with nincompoops.
