Since I had a photo shoot and a 6+ hour drive scheduled for Sunday I decided to not set up on Sunday morning. I hope you’ve enjoyed the photos from the Hot Rod Holiday show in Springfield, MO.
2014 Hot Rod Holiday Pt. 4
2014 Hot Rod Holiday Pt. 3
Saturday Morning we got to the show early and set up the booth, Calendars, hats, coozies, books, stickers and keychains on display to try to make some money for gas money. The spectator flow through the day was like most indoor shows ebbs and flows, sometimes I had people looking over people’s shoulders to see my booth, sometimes I spent an hour just talking to friends. The thing that was absolutely awesome was sitting at my booth editing photos from Friday night, uploading them to the site and writing this very sentence. Works so much better than driving 5 hours home and then sitting down to work on the site :).

Friday night I got to the Hot Rod Holiday show and the show was dead. It was cold and raining and a Friday night, these things do not work well for getting spectators to car shows. What I found was a building with a whole lot of great rides on display. Walking around the Expo Center I run in to my buddy TwoTallOkie who had a booth set up, I was next to Dragdaddy (always a treat), Fritz had 2 bubble tops sitting directly in front of Dragdaddy and I so we had some eye candy to look at all weekend. Hanging out in the building were some of my friends that put on the Queen City Riot and I ran in to some other guys you may have heard of named Darryl Starbird & Tim Strange. Since there was no crowd that evening there was time to talk to all the folks that normally would be too busy to be able to talk for long.

A few months ago I was contacted by the promoter of the Hot Rod Holiday in Springfield, MO. He enticed me to come down and hang out for the weekend in Springfield for the show. I don’t like vending at shows most of the time because I don’t get to hang out and shoot the event because I’m sitting in my booth the whole time, but indoor shows offer me the ability to shoot the cars when nobody’s in the building and then spend the weekend in the booth. Since I have calendars to sell so that I can raise money for a great cause, this sounds like a great idea!
