Well, the 10 days of Stampede are over....great! About four days before Stampede Week, I drew at an international sporting event. Behind me, this young girl kept sneezing on me, then I finally had to ask her to please move somewhere else....I even got "the evil eye" from her mother.So just at the start of Stampede, I came down with a terrible flu. My first gig that day started at 6:45am, and the last one ended after 11:00pm. Most days (except one or two) I had three gigs a day. I had everything done up in contracts and there arn't many available caricaturists around for fill ins, though one day I was able to get a fill in.
It was the toughest ten days I've had in memory. Looking back, I think that the first time some kid sneezes on me once, I'm asking them to move NOW!
Though, with my red nose and droopy eyes, I think most of my guests just thought I was Stampeding too much....
This weekend I'm drawing up in Edmonton on a riverboat, which should be interesting.
