Lone Star Book Festival 2021 = On! May 29th, Saturday Seguin, Texas. Central Park Square

-




 Howdy;

 

First off, thank you to everyone who responded with their thoughts about the Lone Star Festival being canceled at the Seguin Events Complex. 

 

Based on y’alls responses and working with the city we have come up with a program that will work in some format for everyone that had paid their fee. 

 

First, for those who are not thrilled about the heat, we are going to participate in the Pecan Festival currently scheduled for October 30 & 31 (Halloween weekend).  There is a discussion of moving it to the week before, so at this time it is NOT set in stone for that weekend. 

 

Those that wanted to wait for cooler weather can have a table in our booths at this event.  It will be limited to 10 authors only.  So, if you are one of those authors wanting to wait for cooler weather, this is your event.  NO additional fees or charges will be required, just email me with your request to be in that tent. 

 

Now, for the majority of you authors that felt doing it on the square was a great option, we are doing it on May 29th on the square.  Just as above, you will NOT be paying any additional fees for this change.  We will provide tents and tables as needed.  If you do have your table, please bring it.  We will ONLY be providing 4’ tables for this event.  If you need bigger tables and have one, please plan on bringing it. 

 

There will be access to electricity in small amounts, due to limited outlets.  Perfect for charging your phones, tablets, etc.  Not for long-term use. 

 

We will be providing for large fans to help keep certain areas cooler than without the fan.  We are expecting the highs to be in the 80’s, not currently expecting more than that. We will keep an eye on the temp as it gets closer to help adjust things as needed. 

 

Because of the outside aspect, we are going to work with the musicians to create a time flow to still allow for readings in the center of the park, where they will also be playing. 

 

Attached is a layout as it currently stands, with some adjustments as needed. 

 

Finally, I need each author that wants to attend the May 29th outdoor event to confirm they are on board with the adjustments, and if they feel having the event is best one day or two days.  Of course, two days will increase our costs but may add to the fun of the Holiday weekend. 

 

I have begun working with the Chamber and the schools to see what additional fun we can add to the event to make it as successful as we can. 

 

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know. 


Cheers,

Real Estate Agent Insights

To the outside world, I often wonder what is society's perception of the working realtor lifestyle? Do consumers simply think we sip latte coffees, go shopping, drive fancy cars, and collect hefty commission checks ? Are realtors just well connected "socialites" whom seek rich friends to sell homes? Is the public aware that a real estate agent's work can be very challenging, and carries a zero dollar base salary? I think consumers forget, that working realtors in general are a happy, fun, driven, and helpful collection of professionals. Realtors have an inner desire to be their own boss. Real Estate Agents are folks whom are instigators, and want to make things happen! Successful real estate agents are self promoters, avid workers, and posses conversational, relate-able, human people skills. To become a truly successful realtor, it requires a combination of different skills. A Real Estate Agent has the traits of a salesmen, business development guru, therapist, ...

A Man's Own Merit.

When does a male, truly transform from a child, adolescent, and youth, into a legitimate full grown man? Should "manhood" be considered a physical achievement? Is "manhood" achieved once a state of adulthood, responsibility and grown-up level is conquered? Is "manhood" acquired once a male has become a rainmaker and created his own family? A family, for example with a wife and children? When is a male officially a truthful, gentle, full legitimate grown MAN? I am simply curious? In my humble opinion, a man's own merit is achieved at different time levels for each us. For example, let us a say a young boy, loses his father tragically to death at a youthful age. To such sadness as say war, a traffic accident or medical loss. If a youth under the age of 18, loses his father to death, this would probably force the boy to grow up faster than is necessary. Sometimes a man, must grow out of his father's shadows and legacy. For example, when P...

The INNER Agenda

What are the REAL reasons, why people do things? Are they caring, giving, selfless souls OR are they of the capitalist mindset and always think, "What's in this for me?" For example, the honorable giving soul is one whom volunteers and give backs to their community. Perhaps this person is a manager and their agenda is to help guide and assist the workers below them. A person with no agenda, simply helps others for the sake of their inner soul and good deed morals. An example of a few no inner agenda occupations could be teachers, priests, social workers, volunteers, rehabilitation counselors, etc. These occupations tend to lead to selfless, non-capitalist motivation. These specific types of humans, may possess a genuine caring mindset. Personally for me, and for better or worse, I have been heavily gravitating towards the "How does George Vance" benefit from this mindset. Lately, in my professional work and personal life, I consciously perform actions ...
