    Thanks for all the advice guys. After reading and thinking and reading and thinking some more, I think I'm going to try to avoid the tvs all together. I have a meeting with the host to discuss the terms on wednesday. I'm going to push the "free for all" model with one exception. I'm going to ask for a flat fee to hold the event and see what they think. Right now the only equipment I have is myself and my truck so I'll have to rent a trailer or two to haul everything. If I accept tvs, I'll probably have to rent 5+ lol. And since earth day is a Friday and most people work fridays, a 2 day gig will probably be the best bet. Friday to saturday. I figure 150 or 200 a day to cover gas and rental fees would be fair. I will definitely have business cards and flyers ready for handing out to stir up future business. I will definitely post back here and let you guys know how everything goes as it progresses. I'm so nervous and excited I don't even have words to describe it. But you gotta start somewhere. Fingers crossed, this will be my big start to a long and prosperous business venture.
