I did my first 'gig' today! I teamed up with my partner (face painter) for a children's 5th birthday party. It was only supposed to be an hour but I over-ran a by about 15 minutes or so.

There were plenty of nerves to start with and it was very chaotic but I survived to tell the tale. There were a couple of designs that I was asked for that I didn't know how to do (batman, minion) but I managed to steer the children round to something else. It's give me a few things to thing about to improve for the next time.

Most funny moment.... getting asked for some type of light sabre. After talking to the boy about what it was, all he wanted was just a single 260 blown up and straightened!!!!!! I felt like it was a cop out, but he loved it  :roll:  But I suppose that's what it's all about, keeping the customer happy!!
