Jazzfest
I had a great time working my 13 hour shift at Jazzfest in Iowa City this year. Even despite the complete downpour that we experienced during the afternoon. Thankfully we had one of the best tents, and we did not get washed away like some booths across the street! What was really amazing though was all the people who stood in their chairs with umbrella’s while waiting for the music to start again!
Attendance seemed good, and I really liked the ambience of the new location on Clinton Street facing the Old Capitol. The music was good as always. The good news is that we made nearly a thousand bucks selling rootbeer floats and “make your own sundae’s”. That should be enough to break even (the booth fee is 500$) and then some.
We had quite few people ask ‘what flavors’ of ice cream we had. We only had Vanilla, but we had all the toppings you could ask for. It seemed to put alot of people off… but we couldn’t possibly be a mobile baskin robbins! But for every sourpuss like that, there was about two people who wanted a rootbeer float. Of course we also had plenty of people who wanted beer, and I always enjoy explaining the situation on that!

These old guys started the music off… they were really good!
I’m at work today brewing a batch of Schild Brau. I know its a holiday, but we really need the beer!
