We have begun issuing central cashier credit card payouts via paypal and for a few of you via mail.
All transactions will be complete by tomorrow night. If you do not see yours by then, please contact us via email so we can get it straightened out right away for you.
Thank you so much! We have heard great feedback and suggestions for the future and we are excited to begin planning the 2010 Urban Bazaar, to be announced in December.
Many of our customers have also stated that they are excited to shop with the vendors online this holiday season, so be sure your websites and etsy sites are stocked =)
Also, dont forget about the Funky Finds Show, they are taking applications until Nov 15th!

Final Wrap Up
I hope everyone is rested, I have just come back to work after 2 days in bed from the Flu.
So please be patient as I get through emails and begin getting everything back to normal.
1. Credit card payouts will be posted to your paypal or mailed by 10/20/09
2. If you left early or did not set up the 2nd day or were a no-show, a bill for $250 will either be issued or charged to your credit card per our blog. Remember, we turned down over 25 vendors to give you a space and we do have the no-set up and no-show $250.00 fee, it will be enforced.
3. There seems to be some confusion, there is not a December Bazaar this year, we will be releasing the 2010 Bazaar Dates in December/January via the website and email list.

Wet Fog / Humidity Rainfall
So the fabulous wet fog from tear down has stuck with us through this morning. It should be gone by 10ish, so no worries and it will be a 64 and partly sunny day according to most weather reports.
Check in times are the same as yesterday.
Reminder, do not block drive thrus, you are permitted your tent / booth space only.
Also be sure you only use your 40W or less allowed bulbs and after finding 2 space heaters during power issues yesterday we will repeat, NO HEAT ELEMENTS are to be plugged in!
Please be careful when stepping, setting up, sitting, do not turn off the power strips (this was another main cause of yesterdays problems). IF there is an issue, just let us know and we will get it fixed!
Credit Card Slips will be due at the end of the event in the envelopes for those of you that used our cc processing.
Have a great day!

Trading is common among vendors, however be courteous about it.

The best way to say it is: " I am with this booth, I am up for a trade if that interests you." Leave it at that, don't put anyone in the position to say yes or no right away, they will come to your booth and check it out if they can.
Copying - Do not copy other peoples work
