The second day of vending Anarchapulco was the busiest day of the conference, but due to the actions of one supposed "authority figure" aka this year's conference coordinator, we were met with a ton of stress. This was mostly due to our tables being taken from us the night after we packed up our supplies for the first time. Due to this obstacle, our community designed, eco-conscious #Anarchapulco shirts were on the floor, and were not able to be seen by patrons until 4PM, when I finally was able to get to a store that sold folding tables, and drug it down to the conference.
Being the most active conference day (Friday), this particular obstacle could not have come at a more inopportune time. We did manage to get rid of a few shirts after we got the table there, however since we were barely able to break even on the t-shirt project by the last day of the conference, the loss of interest due to lack of visibility on Friday cost us most of the profits we would have made, and has also left us with a ton of t-shirts to distribute post event (not ideal). I will be creating another video soon of how this has affected us, and go over the series of events in more detail.
For now, please enjoy this quick update video from day 2 of vending Anarchapulco. Staying strong through the struggle is what it's about... fight the power! Here is to staying positive. (I know I spelled actively wrong in the video - my b)

Gratitude for pushing through and making the best of what happened! Totally loving my natural dye shirt from @elamental and picked up an amazing piece of moldavite too! It was a blessing for you to do what you did, especially with the challenges! Looking forward to hearing more about the experience, stay strong and keep making your moves!
instant follow for that comment
Thank you so much, that means the world to me. I am thrilled that everyone was so happy with what we offered this year. We worked very hard to bring what we did to the table. Bless up homie.
Sounds like they hired a psychopath to be the coordinator this year... I was honestly super bummed I didn’t go this year (at first) but then after seeing people’s reactions I’m wondering what @jeffberwick was thinking.... #FAIL
Yea that has kind of been the mentality, I did however have a great time down here - again. I do not regret coming this year, I live for this sh*t!
Sad to hear you had such challenge. Glad to hear I'm not alone in facing mine these days. It seems it comes in waves and whenever I hear of other people who care get challenged I feel less lost than before. If that makes any sense.
All the best of luck to you guys and your awesome clothing series - they do look amazing!
Yea bro you are not alone, this is all just part of our enlightenment and strengthens our wisdom - preparing us for our future path. I learned a lot though all of this, and I am proud to have gone through it. I just posted the shirts on our Homesteader's Co-op online store, and will be announcing a sale for them in the near future. Bless up, and thanks for connecting with our common struggles.
