FCN 2011 Recap

General
WOOOOOO!!!! This weekend was FCN! It was awesome. I spent a lot of my time with Seek and the charity. However, I did get some time to hang out with old friends, meet a lot of cool new friends, and I purchased some cool art in the Dealers Room. Shout outs to
kotto and the rest of the Penn State Furs that I met.
The charity was amazing and the con-goers were super generous. The end total that the charity took home was over $5000. That is about double their normal annual donations. They were in tears and as a result, everyone else at closing was too. Seek was so excited since this was the first year that the charity actually attended the con and they loved it. Also, I want a greyhound now... they were super adorable and loving.
My lego badges were pretty popular. I actually went out to OfficeMax and printed out 60 business cards I had designed. Between handing them out and laying some around the con, I think I gave out 50 or so business cards. Along that vein, I entered into my first ever art trade. One of my friend's friends, Reimori, like my lego badges, so I agreed to draw her one in exchange for a sketch in my new sketch book. It was really cool. I have another art trade in the works with Kotto too. I have a couple of more gift badges to do but I believe I will open up commissions for the badges.
I also got to hang out with a lot of the FCN staff and the Dorsai Irregulars (the security team). That was really cool too.
Sadly, I had to come back to reality yesterday and get some work done.
