 am hearing some people say just carry in some balloons
 and make a creation or two as a customer and some
 others saying that doing this is one of the worse
 things to do. Where should I start?   Also, What
 should be in a press kit?  I really need to build mine
 up and I am curious as to what I need to put in it.
 Thanks Everyone,

This is going to be one of the topic in my lecture at Twist and Shout.  Here 
are a few starting ideas:

Do your homework and check out restaurants that could use your talent. Make 
sure it's a restaurant that could really use you. Think about WHY they need 
you. 

Being a busy place is not the only criteria. See if there is room for you. 
Are the tables really tight together? Are you going to get in the way of the 
servers?  

When you find a place, call first and ask for the General Manager NOT ANY 
OTHER MANAGER. It's the General Manager who makes the decisions. 

These are VERY BUSY PEOPLE. Don't pass in 35 pages of long local articles 
about you.  Develop a simple brochure that says in a consise way that you are 
a professional that works hard and enhances any place that you appear.

That should get you started.  

See you all in New England (very cold now...bundle up) at Twist and Shout!
