I hope to see you at Furfright or Midwest Furfest, perhaps. :)

Furfright is currently my top consideration. :) I've heard a lot of good things about it! Have you been there before?

Several times! It's a very fun, but very laid back convention. Some complain there's not really enough to do there, but I very much enjoy the fact it's a relax-a-con. There's a lot of time to socialize and just take it easy.

I missed the 2011 con, but I look forward to coming back this year, assuming my work doesn't take me to the 4 corners of the earth by then.

I have a friend who's been there a couple of times and has loved it. :) So if it's possible I'll try to make it! (I never really do scheduled events anyway)

You'll love it! Will be nice seeing you and your bf there again! :D

I look forward to seeing you! I should IM you more often though! D:

No worries, we'll catch up! ^^

haha i dont think you are that shy you describe yourself ! :) i am little bit planning trip to FWA upcoming year so may we can meet again. I hope next time with better english on my side!

See ya there :) *waves*

I'm not heading out to FWA this year either (too few vacation days after a UK trip). Hope you have a good time!

*wags and waves* Yay for more artsie people at FWH! C ya there and no need to be shy or anything ^^

Have fun at FWH.....wished i could go but....many reasons come up why i can't go.....

How much on average does it cost you to get to US cons? :0 Do you make it back?

Also I wish I could go to more cons across Europe, but maybe next year XD I am a bit scared of language barriers... I can only speak english and a minimal amount of Norwegian.

For US cons there's no way I could make back the cost BUT I pay for both me & my boyfriend. Also the US con I went to was FWA which is NOT a seller's con - you can't expect nearly the amount of sales as you get at Confuzzled or Eurofurence (the Brits are BIG spenders and very generous to us artists :P). AC and FC are the main real seller's cons in the US, maybe MFF. I think if you were just paying for one person to go, it might be possible to turn a profit from AC or FC but I highly doubt anything else. You'd also need a lot of art show stuff for that.

You asked about cons across Europe and about CeSfur, but they are also not for sellers, really. Many don't have dealer's areas at all, are very small and more for local friends. CeSfur for instance had just an art show, a small one, but because of the exchange rates, the Czech artists were mostly priced at ridiculous stuff like 5-6 euros...you can't compete with that! I did make 55 euro from a couple of items but so not covering the costs there. Also CeSfur you'll find that a fair few people speak a little English, but essentially it broke up into the English speakers, the Russian speakers and the Czech/Slovak speakers very fast - the English speaking group was about 10 of us. Many of them know English to read and type online but just aren't confident in trying it irl for full conversations. :/

If you want to hit an EU con then definitely Eurofurence is the place to be. 100% English speaking, great profits. Not as huge and scary as stuff like AC/FC!

Ahhh thanks! I am definitely wanting to go to AC one year, but I am kinda intimidated, haha XD Eurofurence too, plus I've only been to Germany on a coach, never a plane so I'm nervous about that too D: I would go this year but due to my home situation, it would be a bad move, I feel.

I might go for it next year though! I am considering Scotiacon also but again it's the money XD

I was interested in Scotiacon too (after all, how could I resist "going home"? :P) but the hotel is super expensive. :/

For EF could you not arrange a place on the Furball run, if you don't like flying? They seem to have a great time every year and I'm sure someone would have a place for you. Not sure about the costs though. But for this year I think EF is pretty much sold out now. That said, if you know a UK person who is driving and you trust (Zuki maybe?) you could have them take some art show stuff to EF for you. I don't mind hanging it for you in the show. Just the art show is definitely, definitely a good earner!
