Costume renting and many charity events in costume on weekends

The amounts of costumes being rented from me has been picking up lately. Partially this could be due to my advertising in the home ads, as well as becoming better known by word of mouth and getting referrers from companies where I refer other people to if I don't have a costume that people are looking for.

This coming Saturday, I will be in my Spider-Man costume at N1 City near the Mug & Bean. N1 City is right next to the N1 highway in the Cape Town area, in the greater suburb of Goodwood. I am booked for the same kind of event until and including 19 August 2006. For me that means busy Saturdays, meeting lots of people, posing for photos, getting into odd situations when changing in and out of costume, networking with people that I meet and possibly a boost in business from all of that. Most likely my 120 business cards will not be enough until the 19th.

On 5 August, the costume party of the German Carnival Matieka is also coming up. Lately, I just did not have much time to actually think about that and what costume to wear for the event. The last couple of years, I have tried superhero costumes, I might use a Star Wars costume this year.
