[Kirk Allen]

adk,
I worked the grandstand at the Illinois State Fair one year when I was 13 or 14 selling show programs for the Rolling Stones.  We made 20% commision from a $3.00 program and I went home with over $900 in my pocket that night! 

I was the only kid stupid enough to walk ALL the way up to the top of each row in the grandstand.  Lots of folks up there that wanted programs and the older guys wouldnt walk past the 20th row.  I think there were 65 rows if I remember right.  Sure made a lot of money that night!
