MFF Con Report

Well that was fun!
First off I'd like to say, GOOD LORD, I need to bring more colorful decorations, posters, and flashing lights to my table, because apparently I was invisible! I have had SO many people say "What, you were at the con/in the Dealers Den?! I never saw you!!" Probably because I was right across from the steampunk table with all the shiny pocket watches and walking canes. Like I said. INVISIBOO.
But all that aside, I did pretty well... sort of. I sold TONS of prints, which is awesome. I was able to get rid of a few more things, like t-shirts and buttons and magnets... not as much as I'd like, though. I'm really trying to get rid of them, it sucks carrying inventory on airplanes. I did enough sketchbooks to keep me busy during work hours, and 2 badges. 2! At this rate, not worth me bringing my markers, I may just switch over to watercolor because all I use my markers for is badges, and those things take up a LOT of space... yeah.
And for those people looking for me on Friday... Yeah I wasn't there. Bit of a snafu with scheduling and flight delays wound up with me not arriving until well after close of Dealers Den on Friday. And I didn't discover the con suite until Saturday night. I'm used to the con suite being a small hotel room with snacks and drinks, and there being a separate hangout room... Nooooo, they were the same, and I didn't know it, so I didn't go until way late. Oops.
Also, no room parties, art jams, drinking, or dancing. I never get invited to the cool kids' parties anymore! *sniffle pout* Oh well. I guess it comes from gradually turning into a socially awkward shut-in with chronic pain and long periods of disappearance.
Super awesome thanks to people for Canadian Coke and Coffee Crisps, toffee nut mochas, deflowering sketchbooks, steak dinners, long talks, smokes, rescue from awkward conversations, and beautiful fiddle music. You all know who you are.
So, tl;dr - Con paid for itself but I missed out on seeing tons of people I KNOW were there. Stayed busy but didn't work my butt off, was pretty relaxing.

Tell 'ya what... If I don't birdbrain and forget about it next year, I'm draggin' you along when we hit the bar. ^v^
It was my first con, and I'm told that a lot of things were sorta SNAFU'd, particularly the "invite only" dead-dog and a bunch of location changes last-minute for events.
I'd chill with you. You make yourself out to be the more mature, low-key sort of congoer; that's kinda the sort of friend I like to have. It was my first con and I was terrified from the descriptions people gave me that it would be basically dorm-building party weekend with more porn and more fur, but I was able to find more sane company with the friends I knew were coming.
So YEAH! Definitely. YOu should hang out with us next one. We had Keira Blacktalon who runs the new suiting outfit Waterdog Designs, a couple of musicians and other suiters and just generally a very cool group. ^v^
Speaking of conbadges... http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6941161/ Thanks again for doing one for me! ^_^
