Notes_Norton Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I resist going to made-up shopping holidays like Black Friday, Prime Day, Cyber Monday, and so on. Participating would just make me feel manipulated. But then, I've never been "one of the crowd" - a weirdo according to some. I gigged on "Black Friday" at an RV Resort where about 300 French Canadians and 300 US travelers park there rigs. It was a great party, we did over 3 hours without a break because it was just too much fun to stop. The smiles and energy from the audience kept us stoked. BTW 30 years before Corporate America changed Black Friday into a shopping day, the term was used by the Philadelphia police department as a negative term. It described the parking problems, traffic jams, shoplifting, and other theft nightmare for the police department that occured the day after Thanksgiving.

Bapu Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 I've never felt manipulated on BF, CM or Holiday sales. If there is something that I've been wanting and it was normally $200 and it can now be had 50,60 or 70% off, I buy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstrEd Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 My wife usually gets her hair products for herself and our daughters at the 70% off sale. If there is something I'm looking at this time of year I usually wait to see if it is on sale. I was interested in a couple of Pianoteq add-ons but I'll wait to a good sale on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it came with the territory of being a full-time musician. Or perhaps the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InstrEd Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 So you're saying Becan caused the weirdness? By the way you came out I would have to agree ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I was in a hired horn section for a band called "Becen And The Shells". But that had nothing to do with Becan. It's not just for breakfast anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
