Crazy Camp Show Exclusive: Vicky and the Puddle

It was raining... we were bored... Vicky (aka L) got a brilliant idea... I showed up with my camera phone... one thing led to the next and this vid was born! LOL I love how you can clearly hear Heather (girl with orange poncho) say, "I'm gonna laugh if she falls"

Disposable Rain Ponchos Are an Effective Promotional Item

Disposable rain ponchos are an efficient, cheap way for businesses or organizations to draw customers to their boots at outdoor events. As poor weather is always a risk at fairs and other events, coming prepared with ponchos can ensure that your booth gets attention in rain or sunny weather. However, there are a lot of things that you need to keep in mind if you are planning on taking advantage of the benefits of these ponchos. First, customization is one of the only ways that you can ensure that your brand is truly noticed by those who are picking up your ponchos. When it is raining, it is common enough that potential customers will come to your booth only for a poncho. This results in them not remembering your brand later. However, if you have customized your poncho, this problem is avoided.

There are a lot of things that you need to remember when customizing your disposable rain ponchos. First, the amount of space you have to work with on your ponchos is determined by manufacturer. Check the printable size of the poncho. This varies between poncho to poncho and company to company. You may need to adjust your logo or design in order to fit the allowed space. In addition to this, because this style of poncho is meant to be discarded, customization may be limited to a card inserted into the packaging material of each individual poncho. This is done to help lower the price per poncho. If you are concerned about the overall costs of your ponchos, you will want to pursue customized card inserts over customizing the ponchos, especially as they are designed to be discarded after one use. It is also important to remember that because these ponchos are designed to be discarded, they are made of flimsier materials than ponchos that are intended to be reused later.

When you are selecting your disposable rain ponchos, it is not uncommon for you to have quite a few options to choose from. While customization choices may be limited, there are many designs, colours and styles that you can select. This allows you to pick the exact styles that you want. While there are price variations in the more sought after styles, they are often significantly cheaper than the more durable ponchos designed for reuse. In addition to this, there are a wide range of materials that you can select from as well. For those who are concerned about the problem of plastics being exposed to the environment, it is even possible to acquire biodegradable ponchos designed to be discarded anywhere after use. These ponchos will degrade when exposed to sun and rain as they are crafted of organic materials rather than plastics. When you are selecting your ponchos, you will need to determine if you require ponchos that are safe for the environment, as these are typically slightly more expensive than plastic ponchos.

If you are organizing an outdoors fair or other event where disposable rain ponchos are being distributed, placing recycling bins near the exits can help ensure that these ponchos find their way to recycling centres rather than being discarded outdoors.

Concerts - Have Fun, Stay Safe


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Even though the summer concert series are winding down, there's still things the smart music lover will want to consider before, during and after attending one of these events. These suggestions are meant to enhance your enjoyment while keeping you and your friends safe.

Before The Concert

Have a good, hearty meal before heading out to the concert. You don't know when you'll get to "eat right" again and you'll need the energy. The place that's holding the event may have all kinds of food but then again they may only have snacks. Hydration is just as important as good nutrition. Make sure you drink plenty of water before during and after the event.

Bring a sweater, sweatshirt or coat. Even on a hot day, if the concert is held outside, the temperature can drop substantially during the day and especially after sunset. Being cold and uncomfortable will put a damper on the fun. And, speaking of damp, be sure to bring a sheet of plastic, a poncho or even garbage bags are ok. If it rains, you'll want to keep dry and have something dry to sit on.

Ok, so there's no rain in the forecast, should be good to go right? Wrong!... Even on a cloudy day the sun can do an number on your skin. Anyone who's had a sunburn is in no hurry to get another. I know we all want that healthy, bronzed look. Well you're in luck, today's sunblock manufactures have got you covered by including pigment in the lotions. Oh and whether it rains, shines or somewhere in between, it's a good idea to where a hat. There may be birds attending the event!

Bring your cellphone, but pre-arrange a meeting area at the concert in case you get separated. Cellphones are great but don't rely on them. Common sense and preparedness are better!

Another good idea is to keep your driver's license or some form of picture id and contact information on your person. If something happens and for some reason you're at a loss for words, your ID can speak for you. If you're a Diabetic, have Asthma, Alergies or some other medical condition, be sure to where a medic alert bracelet if you have one and if you don't, let your friends know about your condition. Again, in case of an emergency, you may not be able to communicate with medical personel giving you aid, and this bracelet or the knowledge you impart on a friend could save your life.

Plan on doing a lot of walking. Depending on the parking situation, you may have to walk a mile or more to attend the concert after parking. You don't want to arrive in pain and you may be standing for long periods; wear comfortable shoes. Women: don't wear anything with a high heel...Guys: don't try to break-in that new pair of boots.

During The Concert

Everybody thinks the best seats are up front and while they do provide a great view, that's where the crowd is most dense. I'm not saying don't get those seats, but be aware of the potential for danger. Chances are, aside from your friends, you won't know most of the people there and sometimes even good people make bad choices.

I do not understand the lure of the mosh pit! Thank God my generation missed that. People purposely inflicting harm on others in the name of fun? One word - STUPID - 'nuff said.

It goes without saying but don't go anywhere alone - both guys and girls - restrooms, snackbar, anywhere. Take someone along. I know it's not the macho thing to do guys but macho isn't going to help much if you get into trouble.

Drugs and alcohol: It's my opinion that it's a personal choice but if you choose to do it, be prepared to deal with the potential consequences. Disorietation, nausea, blurred or double vision are some of the possible effects of abusing drugs and alcohol, but they're not the worst. You could die. The best answer if someone asks? No, thanks. Period. You may not know the person offering and you most definitely don't know what they're offering no matter what they say.

After The Concert

Stay with the group you came with. Meeting new people is one of the great things about concerts but it's not the best environment to "hook up" with them. Take names and numbers, follow up later, after the excitement of the day's events have subsided. If you still think it's a good idea to stay in touch the next day or the next week, then go ahead and call.

Don't Be Part Of History

There have been some terrible tragedies at concerts, due in part to poor decisions on the part of the attendees and or poor crowd management by security for the event. The Who concert back in December of 1979, where 11 fans were crushed to death. The Perl Jam concert in Denmark back in June of 2000 - hundreds of fans rushed the stage crushing 9 fans, smothering them to death. And more recently in Rhode Island when a pyrotechnics display went horribly wrong and 100 people lost their lives in the blaze. There are many others that could have been avoided with a little forethought and better planning.

The Who concert tragedy prompted a report by a special Cincinnati citizen task force. In it they outline recommendations intended to prevent disasters like these from happening. Google "concert tragedies" to view story and to find a link to the report.

I would like you to consider these suggestions as a way for you to have fun and be able to talk about it later. Be smart and think them and even come up with some of your own. Your safety is your responsibility. The people who you care about and who care about you would like you to consider them.
