What do you think? + Plush/Balloon Pattern Making Software

Questions:
I've been thinking a lot about my embroidery and slowly getting more nerve up thanks to the kind reception it's getting, so I have a couple of questions for y'all:
1) The only con I've been to is the Texas one
kuro-kai made happen. That hasn't happened since, sadly. Where's a good place to start out if I want to see if I can make it selling embroidery in an alley (enough to semi support my trip, or at least show people I exist)?
2) Furry auction sites... You guys think putting finished shirts, patch commissions, ect. up on one might actually work for me? What would you want to see up there if I did? Which one is the best?
3) If I was to try and pair with any artist and make some stuff for them, who would you want to see me work with? ("Ooo! Me! Me!" Does work, but who else?)
4) If I go and register a company for my stuff, what do you think the name should be?
There. I feel less total responsibility for my actions already.
Broids Update:
verm caught my journal offer for a free broid at 1500 hits, and being the first to hit me with a screen shot after that point he will be getting one of my next patches. Glad some of you kids out there are paying attention. I'm still having fun running around and offering my stuff to artists/characters I dig. You'll see the results of that soon enough.
As far as gifts for Christmas, very little on the commission front, which is fine. Gives me the time I need to finish up gifts for friends of the non-furry kind. Have another, simpler, design for a polo coming up. Keep your eyes peeled.
Events:
I'll be in Dallas Friday and Saturday for the company Christmas Party! Going to be at a really nice hotel downtown, sounds like I've found a pretty decent place to work for. Just have to fly there Friday evening, and back Sunday Morning to make another party for Family. Not that I can complain: free food, open bar, more free food made by family, beer and stories, another damned chia pet from white elephant. All good fun. Just know if you're trying to reach me this weekend not to expect much of a response.
Free plush/balloon making software?!
http://www.den.rcast.u-tokyo.ac.jp/.....e/index-e.html
That's right, intuitive interface software for plush pattern design. They even make a huge cold air balloon out of a pattern in their demo video. The software looks easy to use, and honestly like a lot of fun to play with. I have yet to look into the demo program they offer. Mayeb I'll post some results sometime.

Ohh, can I sit next to you? If not, then on your lap maybe? =3 I can draw...oh wait, I'm not good enough to draw for people.
Oddly enough, a name that came up for me for your company could be like "Dragon patch" or "Inflatapatch" Don't ask...
Hope all is well. *Hug*
Hehe, cute with the names. But I'd like to move outside patches... Maybe "Dragon Haberdashery"...
Things are going just fine, hon, thanks for hoping for me *hugs back*.
Personally, I think I'll commission you someday for a patch of my character to put on a backpack or something. =)
Good luck!
Aww, I'll be looking forward to then. And I'll be sure to give you my best when ya' do.
Thank you so much.
As for a good con to sell things, it seems the two big ones are AC and FC.
Heh, I'd love to try AC at one point, but where I am I think I'll be having to start smaller. Thank you, though.
