Did you feel more natural on camera with the unscripted one, or was it just luck?

So 500 hours of doing it wrong doesn't make you good huh.

Paid $3k after my own delay caused a burst pipe and a nightmare cleanup.

Wait, you're saying a random person just walked up and critiqued your banner height and you actually changed it right then and there? That's wild to me. Most people would just nod and forget about it, but you acted on that feedback in the middle of a show. I gotta admit, that takes guts to just pivot like that on the fly. And 30% more foot traffic from just moving a sign down? Man, that's the kind of stuff they don't teach you in any marketing class.

Drenched mine in a bucket of water for about 20 minutes before laying any of them. The old timer was right, it made the mortar stick like glue even when the sun was blazing. Had a job go wrong once with dry bricks and the whole wall ended up looking like a cracked eggshell. Never again. Soaking seems like a pain but it saves you a ton of headache later.
