Kate's good friend, Meg, thought we'd be the perfect food vendor for an artisan market that her friend, Kristin, was putting together.
Kristin's non-profit was (& still is) called San Diego Made & twice a year they put on a market for local artist & creators to showcase & sell their wares. She booked us to setup Sunday from 10-3, outside the Union in Barrio Logan, a San Diego neighborhood adjacent to downtown.
Our spot blended in well with the craft fair. Probably because we were a small, local artisan ourselves, peddling our Cheezers to other small business owners.
The best part was that we were the only food vendor there. Being the only game in town is great & when you're a vendor talking to customers & selling your crafts all day, you tend to get hungry.
Especially when you smell bacon, pesto, mushrooms & spinach wafting through the air on a gorgeous afternoon. We did a lot of Totes MaGoats & Shroomin' Magnolias out there & created quite a buzz for ourselves.
Kristin invited us to many more San Diego Made events over the next few years. We liked doing them a lot. They were always solid, high-exposure gigs that Mad Munch did well at. It was also nice to be a part of a community of other self-made bosses.
