Only a miracle!

Here I am set up outside of a school gymnasium. 30 people inside, 3 smokers outside and me. I've got meat on the grill and I'm ready to sell.
It was never supposed to be this lame. The event is a Guitar Hero challenge in Brantford. It sounded great. It was supposed to take place in their beautiful new Harmony Square and I figured the walkup traffic alone, especially near several downtown bars would make me a bit of money. That was until the summer of rain happened.
All three event dates have called for rain, so they moved the event indoors and across town. And here I sit outside under a tent while Brantford play rocks on the inside.
I spent $200 bucks to be part of this event and wasn't looking like that would be made back. Until the very kind event planner offered me to sell at their movie night last night. And I was able to make $130. So I think I will break even.
So here I sit in anticipation. At this point only a miracle could help me to actually turn a profit cut everything is stacked against me. Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerry
