Pop till you Drop



The financially sustainable show. Weehoo!!! So here is the deal. This show was aimed at providing an experience so tantilizing you would sell almost anything to be the one person allowed in. 2500 Balloons filled a space. Two gloves covered with 600 tacks a piece. An auction where items or services are donated to me. The person that sells the item or service for the highest bid gets the gloves. Time is money, so if the highest selling item was 24 dollars, you get 24 seconds in the room with the gloves.



Crazy Steve donated an iPod nano with headphones, speakers, and charging bay. It sold for $180. This donation came out of left field, after Steve donated 5 hours of labor, trying to get the gloves. His labor went for $15. The second highest item was a service by Dina. Within 3 hours of a call, she would bake a fresh apple pie and deliver it to your doorstep, any time of day or night. This went for $23, and Steve decided to give Dina the gloves. $180=3 minutes, after which Dina emerged from the room a changed person. About 150 Balloons remained for everyone else who participated to enjoy.
