September 2nd where we stand and where we dance

Hi it’s Dave again and this is my first post for the week. Well things have been moving slowly for us pretty much since the exhibition. There has still been plenty to do but we haven’t had any product to sell so it has felt like nothing has really been going on. These are the times when you need something to keep you motivated. It’s hard to keep slugging away at the coal face when there doesn't seem to be any great reward at the end of the day. I’m more heavily invested in this project than the rest of the group financially. This helps to keep me focused on the task but I think we all feel like this is quite a difficult time in the process. We see other teams selling product and making steady progress while we seem to be going in circles.

We have at least been making progress on going to some festivals and hopefully we can get to some markets quite soon too. This all of course will rely on our CMT finally finishing off our first run of production which has been in the works for over a month now. It’s starting to feel like a bit of a joke really, and it’s not a very funny one.  We have received less than 40 of the more than 250 units she was commissioned to make for us. 

We had really hoped to go too sprung this coming weekend. It’s a music festival/ trance party and we felt the Azura would do well at this sort of event. Alas without being sure of us having Azuras to sell we couldn't risk the cost of booking a stall and buying tickets. Hopefully by the time Earth Dance (another big trance party) rolls around we will be in a better position and will be able to make the most of the event. These are not just a great way to get the Azura out into the world but they are also a pretty fun way to spend a weekend (especially if we are making a bit of money out of the deal)
