I am not sure if this is really a question, or just a rant. Encouragement is just as welcome here as advice.
I've spent the last month, and absolutely all of my money, gathering a tent and gridwall, etc. and applying for outdoor festivals for this year. So far I have been accepted to a festival in May. Other applications requite a set-up picture, so I just went out to set up my tent and take the pic since my work will be off to a gallery Monday.
After putting on 2 walls, the tent flew away, got caught on a clothesline pole, and snapped in more than one place. I am so bummed.
Anyone care to share some optimism?
