last working day of september and the stress builds

We are getting calls daily now for quotes and designs. This is so good. It has been a hard two years to get the phone to start ringing. The trade show is coming up fast and I am getting a bit on edge. The mascots we are taking are looking good, The stands haven’t been done but I am confident they will be. The booth stuff is all done and ordered, The shipping arranged, and our company shirts ordered. But the stuff out of our control is not done.. The new brochures are not designed yet or even ordered. The new business cards are not ordered or designed. I am assured they will be soon. The signage stuff has not been done and I am again assured they will be.. But till I see it I feel a bit out of control. We need to ship everything on the 23 of next month and it is the last working day of September today. We got a second web site now up and working www.upfrontmascots.com and new email addresses to go with them. That was a big mess to. When we first started our web designer told us we needed to have our address www.mascotsupfront.com in order to get found on the internet and that was totally wrong. We now have a great girl Cheryl designing our site and maintaining it so that helps. We also have found a great supplier for stuffed animals. So we are able to offer stuffed animals now to match the mascots. Our plane tickets are bought, rooms booked, and all the little stuff working.. How stressful. But I am sure it will be all work out.

I was always a little confused about the dyslexic domain name. At least y'all have both now.

Business cards shouldn't be that hard to get ordered, especially with some of the online printers. (hint: google for "business cards") Fill in the blanks, upload a logo, pay, and the batch is in the mail. Brochures can either be ordered in the same fashion, or you can just print them out on your own printer.

I'm sure everything will turn out just fine, in time for the convention. Just keep your cool! :)
