Wings Over Camarillo!

Hey All!
We're here at the Camarillo Airport for Wings Over Camarillo. Lots of people, and lots of wind! Everyone is having fun here and watching all the airplanes.
There's a hot dog and shaved ice vendor across from us, and we moved our booth up to the main drag. The Child ID folks are on one side, and the face painting booth is on the other.
Looking forward to more sales this afternoon!
Robyn is here with me and we are havig a great time!

AirVenture 2009 comes to a close.

This has been great. We'll see in a while how many YAY! PLANES DVDs sold, but no matter how many, I had a great time twlling families about the video.

Today I had the appearance at KidVenture and the house was packed with families looking for activities for the kids. A few even stopped by the Hero Stage to watch the video and color some paper bag puppets. Everybody had a great time!

Thanks to American Airlines for donating squeezy balls, luggage tags, and wings to the cause. Everyone likes leaving with something extra.

AirVenture 2009 comes to a close. Signing off! Thanks, EAA!

Gotta Hustle

After a great first signing appearance, and first day at the author tables, I've come away with this.

1. If you don't engage the folks walking by, you won't sell.
2. Kids coloring paper bag puppets of Argyle & Jim is awesome.
3. Yes, the advice was right on, as long as you're sincere and enthusiastic you'll do fine.
4. Frozen custard and an airshow after a day of telling people all about YAY! PLANES is a welcome treat.

On to tomorrow. Signing, then speaking. Hope I have enough paper bag puppets and crayons.

Rainy morning. Good day...

Last night's cool breeze coming through the window of my host house gave way to rain overnight. Dawn came through with more rain, but now I see some blue poking through the clouds.
Looks like it will shape up to be a pretty good day.
This morning, I have the first of two signing appearances at the EAA merchandise Warehouse. It should be a lot of fun. I'll screen YAY! PLANES and sign (and hopefully selll!) Some DVDs.
The airshow is a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to Day 2.
