Everyone should! The thread was framed as a second-person question, after all.

Horrific but awesome. On the horrific side, the swiper for credit card sales broke, and I had to type in every card by hand, including name and everything. Also, the A/C was malfunctioning, and it definitely got to 95, maybe 100 degrees inside the small gym where we were. (It was 100 outside, and we had the doors open to cool off, but part of that included a slight breeze.) It got a lot better after the crowd died down and the sun got higher than the floor-to-ceiling windows. But we were all drenched in sweat.
On the awesome side, we managed. My volunteers kicked ass, and got another 300 or so new donations sorted and up on hangers while the event was going on. Preliminary sales count is $3,684, and we generally add another 30-40% during "Meet the Teacher" nights, i.e. Monday-Thursday of the coming week.
As of right now, I'm happy-tired. Tomorrow, I suspect I will be in a lot more pain.
