Just a reminder...
...if you're in Chicago this weekend.
Cards are done, packaged, packed away. Obligatory table banner is created. Web site has been repeatedly fussed over. Business cards have been printed.
Am I nervous and continually checking my brain for stuff I forgot like someone with craft show-induced OCD? Fuck yeah.
In 2003, Brandy of Loosetooth.com wrote up her notes about selling stuff at that year's Renegade Craft Fair. Her">http://www.loosetooth.com/Art/Work/renegade2003.htm">Her post is chock full of information for crafters working a show, and might jog your memory about items you've forgotten to put on your list.

Also worth checking out: this">http://www.diytrunkshow.com/news/archives/20041028/">this informative post by Cinnamon about the details from last year's Trunk Show. Most of the information in that post, I think, is still valid. I don't know why they haven't posted a similar checklist for this year's show; I'll ask Amy about that.

Thanks so much, Jima! I had been using Brandy's 101 as a primer, and it was a great help. The other checklist is also good to have--thanks!
As for the anxiety, that's mainly a function of my brain worrying as much as I allow it to. :)
