BAM! Both booths (basically) all set up and ready to go at Summer Camp! Tim Tim and the other crew are hitting up Strangecreek bright and early tomorrow! Should be a great Memorial Day weekend, and a raging good start to the 2015 season! Make sure to tag our booth in your photos if you're out at Strangecreek and Summer Camp this weekend: @festivalgeneralstore #mrbs #festivalgeneralstore Safe travels everyone!
After an 18 hour drive...and SO much in toll$...we have finally arrived in Peoria IL! Hotel, pub food, and some well deserved relaxation!
Well after a couple productive days Thursday & Friday, I took the day off yesterday and enjoyed Porch Fest in Somerville, MA. It's great! They had bands playing on porches all over the city, and we had a cooler full of some delicious rum punch that we carried all over the city as well! Day ended with some pizza and a few episodes of Entourage. Today! Today, is a beautiful day...sunny and close to 80* [...]
Worked a good full day yesterday and was able to cross a lot off the To Do list! Spent the morning on the phone with all my vendors getting the orders for Summer Camp all placed and ready for shipment. Got some cool new items for sale this year at Mr. B's and they'll all be arriving in time to hit shelves for next weekend! After stimulating the economy in the ways she likes, I [...]
So the past couple days have been all about shopping for all the inventory for our two booths at Summer Camp, as well as our booth at Strangecreek. It's nice having a weekend off prior to a couple large events...it allows for time to get everything done, and keeps the stress meter from climbing too high! Today, I'll be checking out some new shelving fixtures and finishing up the inventory orders. Then I get to [...]
Well the first festival of 2015 is in the books! Nothing like sunny days in the mid 80s to ease back into the swing of things. Had a chance to shake off the rust of the winter and remember a few tricks to make the setup and breakdown of the booth go smoothly. Definitely have some sore muscles and new scrapes and cuts, but that's the nature of the beast! Very cool to see how [...]
Good Morning! The sun is shining, the funk is playing on the block rocker, and my belly is full of a bacon egg & cheese sandwich from Shady Grove Wraps! People are starting to meaaaaander out of their tents and get ready for a long day of music up here at Susquehanna Breakdown. Music gets going in a bit, and I'm looking forward to some great sets from Cabinet, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Bill Evans [...]
Got out on the road a bit later than expected, but the drive wasn't too bad. Sun was shining, tunes were cranked...Festival Season has officially begun for Mr. B's! Arrived at Montage Mountain, and was greeted with nice big hugs from the crew at Uncle John's Outfitters. Got crackin' on the booth set up, and had a relatively easy go at it. We have a prime location next to the Beer Vendor and are in [...]
Well...here we go! The 2015 Mr. B's season is just days away from beginning! Getting the truck & trailer road-ready to head down to Scranton, PA for the Susquehanna Breakdown this weekend! Should be a nice way to ease back into the Summer Festival Season! Be sure to check out our "Almost Complete" 2015 Schedule...and stay tuned for some more BIG announcements as our summer plans solidify and become more official! This is shaping up [...]
