Hop Hop Splash: The Big Trip part 1.2 - On the road
http://bunnymermaid.blogspot.com/2010/08/big-trip-part-12-on-road.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. The Big Trip part 1.2 - On the road. A continuation from the first post. Which was long enough, for me at least, to warrant a new post. The Ryder van is a commercial vehicle. Which means that we can't go on any parkways - the main way to get from Yonkers down to the bridge. You can go a bit east and follow Broadway down and I had written out how to find Broadway, but we decided eh, there was bound to be signs pointing out a truck route, right? That was an incorrect assumption.

Hop Hop Splash: Iowa State, the prequel
http://bunnymermaid.blogspot.com/2010/08/iowa-state-prequel.html
Sunday, August 29, 2010. Iowa State, the prequel. Preparing for Iowa State started badly and has ended well. I had brought a small first aid kit, so that was bandaged, but it just wasn't a good night. So we made the drive down. We ended up wasting time at a Walmart until noon. This worked out well, we got some groceries for the week and a few supplies we needed anyway. Picking up the stock was a joke, they didn't ask for ID or anything. I mentioned a 27lb box and the guy was like, "Oh! Unpacking took som...

Hop Hop Splash: One week down!
http://bunnymermaid.blogspot.com/2010/08/one-week-down.html
Saturday, August 28, 2010. My time at Kansas University is over! Inventory. Sweet Jesus inventory. After inventory was redone though, the rest of the week was great! Always hire assistants. College kids are willing to do an hour to two hours of heavy lifting and laborious work in exchange for a couple of free posters. It's great. I also made about $23o0 more this week than the tour did during this same time and school last year - woo! That made the boss happy. It made me happy to make money in general.

Hop Hop Splash: The Big Trip part 1 - Heading out!
http://bunnymermaid.blogspot.com/2010/08/big-trip-part-1-heading-out.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. The Big Trip part 1 - Heading out! So, I have this month job touring five different colleges, all around the midwest, selling posters during their orientation and first weeks of classes. It's for this poster company up in Yonkers, they've been doing it for nearly 40 years and if all goes well, it should make me enough to set up an apartment and work on animation and art for a bit. Wooo! Time to get the van, get loaded and ship out! That didn't quite happen. Once that was settle...

Hop Hop Splash: shirts and things
http://bunnymermaid.blogspot.com/2010/07/shirts-and-things.html
Saturday, July 24, 2010. So I've been trying to get as much together as possible before doing this roadie gig for a month, from August 19th until September 18th. It's been a bit difficult. I'm still applying for commissions and working on my own stuff, but knowing that I'll be gone in a couple of weeks does severely hamper my abilities to look for long term work. Despite any frustrations with that, I do really like working on side projects and one shot jobs. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Hop Hop Splash: September 2010
http://bunnymermaid.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 12, 2010. The big trip - an update. Well I'm sitting here at a Red Roof Inn, in Elyria Ohio, watching I think X-Men 3. This is the next to last school (Oberlin College) and we're only here for two days. Then we jump over to Hillsdale College in Michigan and it's over! I think I mentioned in the post just before this one that our hotel while at Iowa State was in the middle of cornfields - I'm too lazy to check, but if I didn't. Our hotel was by the highway and surrounded by cornfields.
