I've just cancelled a show over their requests for my insurance. They wanted to be added to the certificate in a way that would have had to be decided by a review board, because it changes the policy. The whole policy, not just a section of it. This would also cost me an additional fee. Venues requiring insurance is a fairly recent thing, but we all went out and got it. Now, it feels like they're asking for more and more. Just as they expect us to be fully insured, we should expect the same from them. And the thing is, they are. They're already covered. There's no way that I have better insurance than the city I live in. A copy of our policy should be enough, since it absolutely was enough when venues first started asking for them.

I am a tie dye maker. I sell at festivals and markets. I try to carry a lot of sizes. I have dresses up to 4x, women's TShirts up to 6x, and mens T-shirts and hoodies up to 5x. I buy most of my blanks online, and I'm having a hard time finding good blanks, 100% cotton or rayon, in larger sizes that aren't outrageously expensive, especially in men's styles. I was wondering if anyone could suggest some companies/catalogs that have good sales every now and then?

Also, even though I have bigger sizes, most people assume I'm not going to have their size, and they don't even look. I'd like to have a sign on my booth indicating that I have larger sizes. I was thinking of something simple, like, "I Have Your Size!" Would that work?
