We can earn extra money by passing the hat around, and selling trinkets. <BR/><BR/>If we do well, we can make a lot of money, and become well-known, and maybe well-liked. I heard that big faires are like this with new acts. We're unproven. Since they liked our audition, they are going to give us a chance to become famous, using their show as a stepping stone. If we are as good as our audition, they will gladly pay us more next year, or we can pit competing faires against each other, and see who wants to pay us more. <BR/><BR/>So we just need to work on our hat-passing skills, and hope everything holds together.David W.
