Super*market use to be a show featuring skinny scrawny independent cartoonist and self published zinesters with emo feelings of angst. It was a good gathering for people to know they weren't alone. Oddly enough, it was always ran by happy shiny people, and exit my friend Jessica, enter Bubble Punch? They've put on shows before but looking at the vendor list, they were booths selling cute Japanese fashion accessories, vintage articles of clothing and gothic lolista type jewelry. Oh so kawaii...except some of the "stores" looked like stuff people were trying to get rid of from their garage. Me, I was selling cookies. I got the hook up from Jessica as a "long time supporter" so my booth space was free and cheap chinos love that! The show only ran for 4 hours so what's going on:
- lot of girls with brightly colored wigs or dyed hair jobs. I think I'm going to a rave.
- little chubby kid walks by and I can see him eye my cookies, his glance lingered for one second too long, long enough for me to read his mind. I know he wants these cookies, sure, we just ate lunch but I still want something to eat, whats with my mom looking at these stupid beads, let me have a cookie. Sorry kid, no need to start your diabetes early.
- My friend Sophia, helps out at the booth by baking and selling her own baked goods including cupcakes, fudge brownies and some cherrty fritter type of bread. She's worried no one is going to buy her goods. She's relieved 1 minute later when someone buys her cupcake.
- One thing about the costume type parties is that its easy to turn on the Charisma Shopkeeper charm because I can genuinely compliment someone for their hard work even if its garish looking. Actually a lot of them put in hard work.
- Although some bitches be all hanging out in their high heaven, prancing around to get attention but won't give you the light of day. Thats ok, free cookies are for my friends only or if you're under 5 yo. Which sounds creepy when I write this.
- Customer comes by and says she only has .50 cent. I sell mine 2 for a dollar but I feel bad for her that she wants to spend her only cash for a cookie so I break up the set.
- Late 30's white dude with a shaved head wearing a "Navy Seals" sweatshirt comes by. Did he bring his daughter or girlfriend, he seems out of the demographics of this show. Neither, he's actually from Canada and dropped by for the free beer. Sophia and I point him over to the other booth.
- We're situated right next to Debbie Downer. Doesn't seems like anyone is buying her possibly home made hair pins and she's just stands there looking sad. Nothing else, no chatting no smiles just standing harshing everyone's mellow. If she sold depression, she be the fair's blue chip winner.
- My chocolate chip cookies are pretty spectacular. I always get compliments and I can pat the cookies on the back because its not my secret recipe. Its the recipe from the back of the tollhouse chocolate chip bags I buy. Anyone can make em. Like you.
- I decided to expand my repertoire by making oatmeal which i get from the lid of the quaker oat can. I trade out the raisins for cranberries and add walnuts.
- The band Nylon Pink is suppose to play today. The cutest girl from the band comes by to look at our goods. She's the cutest because she comes by to look at our goods. I hook her up with a few free cookies. She's happy. She comes back 20 minutes and buys a bunch of cookies cuz she loves them! I'm happy!
- Show is over, it was only 4 hours. Would I do it again? I don't know, its not my crowd but I like listening to free music.
