Hahaa... that's what I want too! I was thinking more of a chuck wagon, but that works too. But can you imagine buying something like that, and then watching hundreds of thoughtless people trampling through it at every event? Eek!

Hey, sorry it took me so long to get back with you - had a trip out of town this weekend. That sign is attached to a rope with a heavy duty magnet at each end, and when I need to close my line down, I put one magnet on one side of my tent, and the other on the other side, and it effectually ropes off the entrance. Works great! People do slip under it but I usually catch them.

The chair is aluminum and I love it! I can literally pick it up with one finger, it's so light.

I've got two of those aluminium chairs - love 'em. I use them for theatre and make-up gigs though, not FP... they bring adults up to working level but not kids.

i am laughing at the makeup truck and extended trailer with slide-outs!!!! i don't even want to know how much that would be.... you are extremely fun!!

where is the best place for a great lightweight alum director's chair ??

haha...that truck is too awesome.

I'm looking to order one for a gig I've got coming up. WyndyO, see if this works for you. I haven't ordered from them before.

I use a Zuca tote. I love it!!! It was recommended to me by Jodi Carr. It has a second set of wheels that make it easier to go up and down stairs. I have had mine for years. They are expensive. I paid $150 for mine but three years later it broke because my kids love to roll it (has light up wheels) and they constantly drop it. They sit on it and we ride from the car to the doorway. The company replaced it entirely because of the lifetime warranty. They even replaced the bag insert with a new one of my choice. In the long run, it's worth it. It also serves as a seat that can hold up to 400lbs. If I get caught without my chair, in a pinch I can sit and have the kids stand up and I paint them that way. I have a lot of stuff and they have a back pack that attaches to it for more storage. Here is the link if you want to check it out.

Cool. I may be in the market for a new bag.

Shannon...YOU CRACK me up. Buy that trailer yet? lol
That Zuka bag is awesome but I think I had better make some money first! lol

Angie,

If you still reading this post...where did you buy your cart? I really like that 'instant table' all inclusive cart. It'd be perfect for a few of the gigs I have coming up!

Hi Heather, it's made from a couple of different carts, but you could make something similar from a shelving unit found at Lowe's in the organization section. Just cut it down to the size you need, and add wheels, and tada... instant FPing cart. :-)

Hi Joanne

What style of Zuca tote is the most practical for fp... sport, artist, pro. Did you also get the artist backpack?

It looks like the pouches are like drawers. Do they just sit on top of each other or are they sitting on their own rail?
