Having Fun At Festivals
When I go to a local music festival in the summer I really like to hide out in the beer tent and make big fancy balloons for the festival staff as promotional / marketing work. I do this because: 1) I get to practise big pieces I normally don’t have time to do, 2) I promote my work and it gets lots of exposure in a busy venue (I hand out lots of business cards), 3) it makes the recipient very happy, and 4) not only does it highly amuse me, I feel great bringing happiness to others.
