FE journal
14 years ago
Alright, now that FE is all over and I'm back home its time for my journal. So I arrive at the double tree on Friday around 12:30 with my mate Bailey. I got my warm cookie and proceeded to unpack my car, all the dollies were taken so we had to make a few runs. Once we got our room, we met up with our roomies Zets and Shadow. Around this time everyone else started to file in, more and more furries filling the double tree bringing a smile to my face. I needed this, I needed to get out and be reminded of who I am.
Once we were all unpacked and settled in to our room, I grabbed my art stuff and headed down to the zoo and to investigate the whole new bigger layout of the con. I was very impressed with the new con space, it was so much nicer to have all those tables out for everyone to use. The dealers den was such a huge improvement from last year, it was so much bigger, plenty of space for everyone and the photo shoot was such a cool addition.
I set up in the zoo for 6 hours with 3 partials for sale, a polar bear, husky, and rotti too. I had Ramblers suit to give to him also. I also came with a few other random items, tail, hand paws, hats and mitts. I set myself up to take on con badge commissions and boy did I get commissions. In total I believe I had 13 badge commissions, all done in time for the con, and that's coloured and laminated for each customer (except Misfit, and I'll mail yours out soon!) I've never been so busy in my life! I may have bitten off more than expected for each night as I missed out on the friday and saturday night dances. I missed all the panels, barely ate food as I was too busy drawing.
I did have fun talking to those who decided to stop and keep me company while I was doodling. It was wonderful to see old friends and make new ones. I cannot wait for next year, I hope to bring even more stuff to sell. In total for the weekend I made $1200 ish, probably more but hey I did have to eat and feed my man too.
For those of you who got con badges from me please let me know and if you can, send me a pic, I never got a chance to take any photos of the badges I made.
On sunday I got a chance to go to a dance in fursuit, although it ended pretty early and most of my friends already left, so I got changed and hung out with Nick, Mr. Dad, Toughie Bunnie, Shadow and bailey in the lobby of the hotel. We just talked and hung out, it was great. We went to bed around 4:00 am, and when I woke up the next day I was sick... yeah after all that time drawing and stressing out my body had finally had it and I'm now in bed with a head cold. I hope to be over it soon but well ya know, its a cold.
So I hope everyone else had a fun time, if you have any photos of my suit (the few minutes I was actually in it) feel free to link to me. I'll see ya all next year and in the mean time, I'm sleeping and attempting to get better. *snooze*
