I have been involved in the entertainment industry for over 25 years. I have always loved my gadgets.
Everyone always hassled me and laughed at all my gadgets and then proceeded to borrow them, usually permanently.
My store has originally started as a hobby. It was a way to get myself more gadgets while selling a few to the people around me.
And trying eliminating the borrowing problem.
Backstage Personnel are great at inventing new ways to use something, so I am learning all the time.
I have seen my camping lights used to light walkways backstage for overseas artists, even supplied some makeshift music stand
lights for an orchestra. I have even seen people sound asleep in a travel hammock under a stage while the band thumped away above.
Sometimes the fun in trying out weighed the actual results.
But hey, if you are not making mistakes, your not trying.
I usually sell to crews on site and at shows.
This is my first attempt at selling so I would appreciate any and all constructive feedback.
