    Karen, I have done outdoor shows with no lights in the cases and the
    outdoor light has been ok. I've looked into buying a generator but
    the noise would be a problem and they seem pretty expensive and so
    far I've thought things went well enough without. 

    I use a hand machine to imprint credit cards and then use a cell
    phone to call the approval in. Sometimes my cell phone won't work or
    dies and I then have to ask them for info as if it were a check
    (address and phone #). At this point some people just write a check.
    I have not had trouble going home or back to the hotel and calling
    the approval in later. The credit card companies seem to be open
    24hours for this service. One time the credit card didn't work so I
    called the customers phone number and they gave me another card
    number and that worked. This is why you MUST get their phone number.
    I'd be glad to answer any further questions you may have. Annette
