Slinging Cheezers for the Masses

We lucked into a few other great events that were close to home & a lot of bang for our buck.  

Point Loma is home to large Portuguese population & the Portuguese Hall close to Shelter Island hosts many events throughout the year as well as Bingo on Thursday nights.  

When Kate & I got an email asking Mad Munch to setup at the Hall for a Curators & Creators Halloween Event with an expected head count of over 500 people, they couldn't turn it down.  The event was on a Sunday from 10am-5pm, & Mad Munch was only one of two food vendors.  

There were costumes, drinks, live music & even an Elvira impersonator to get people into the Halloween spirit in early October.  Kate & I served up over 70 Cheezers from under their pop-up tent in the parking lot.  Not bad for a Sunday afternoon.

A couple weeks later, we took off Scripps Ranch to setup on the infield of the University of San Diego Toreros baseball park for USD's Homecoming Weekend.  That gig was great, because we were paid ahead of time by the school.  Students & family just walked up to our tent & gave us tickets for either an O.B.C. or a Bacon Street.  

It was that easy, though I was making Cheezers pretty much nonstop from 10am-2pm.  It was still way more money than our best Scripps Ranch market.  We never came close to making 100 Cheezers there.

The hardest part was loading & unloading everything.  We had to cart everything in from the third base line gate & the twenty-some vendors all had a lot of equipment to squeeze through that one gate.  A small gripe for how great of a day it was.
