Branded Baron: Not Yo Mama's Craft Fair '11 Recap

Hey Everyone! This past Saturday I was the 3rd annual Not Yo Mama's Craft Fair in downtown Jersey City. I liked the turnout last year and knew that I had to do it again this year. It was great to see that this event was larger and outdoors on a nice summer day. They had music performances, good food, beer, and great vendors. I have to say that everyone lucked out with the weather being nice, because it was supposed to be ugly.

That day I was all alone and was unable to have any fellow Branded Baron supporters come through to help me sell. It happens, but luckily my friend Anderson of Bluu Dreams was near my tent, so I can occasionally chit chat, during any slow periods of the day with him and his fellow helpers. Also, I made sure I treasured any conversations I had with whoever stopped by the table. I do enjoy talking about the brand, informing people about it, and cracking jokes and making sure you leave the table happy.

The day started off a bit slow in the beginning of the day, but people came by checked out the stuff and bought. It wasn't until early evening/late afternoon where it got packed. One downside of being by yourself at an event like this is if you're hit with a bunch of people, it's hard dealing with everyone at the same time. I don't like to make people wait, but I'm glad everyone was patient and they left with some good Branded Baron items. It was good to see some previous customers come by and buy something new. One previous cusotmer came by on his bicycle with his son in bicycle seat basket( I have no idea what to call it, I've never seen it before, but thought it was cool), and he was unsure what tee to get and let his son choose the color. Cases like those I feel like I should have children size tees. I also met some pretty cool people that came by, like a couple that really loved my stickers to another that felt the designs strongly related to them and bought the last tee I had left in those styles. It was also great to see people I haven't seen since high school.

I personally had a real good time and I think you would've been able to see that, not saying that I don't always have a good time. Some shirts are sold out, so if there's a tee you want grab it, because I know I will not be reprinting the shirts. I'm sorry I couldn't get more pictures of the event, but I tried to get what I can and take photos of those who let me show they are now Branded Baron. Take a looksie.

Stay no less than Stunningly Fresh,

It was really cool, because he wore this t-shirt after he bought it.

Early in the day.

She really loved this color and the design, which made me feel really good when I heard the compliments. I know she was contemplating whether to buy it or not for awhile, but I know she was happy with her purchase.

He and his girlfriend(below) were very cool people. They really liked the t-shirts. He got hooked up with the matching poster. Yea, they're both stunningly fresh!
