Well, it's Monday and Anthrocon 2012 is finished. Despite several hours sleep, I am still tired, but at least I'm not frustrated. Sales went reasonably well, and while I would have liked to have sold at least half a dozen more books, I still made a bit of profit, and I won't have to worry about having too many books to lug back.

I sold out of the newest book on the first day. I had sold a couple on my way to Pittsburgh, and I was afraid that I had under-ordered those. Friday was a very good day for sales, as has proved to be the case in the past years. Saturday was dead for a lot of people, and I sold only six books all day. Sunday started off dead, but I managed to do some decent sales later.

As usual, my sales paid for more sketchbook art for my stories, and I will have quite a lot of scanning to do when I get home. Not as much as usual though, except for the pile of sketches that Seth Triggs knocked out for me in an amazingly short time. He drew pictures of the Chakonan government buildings, exteriors and interiors, and the main train station. That will add very nicely to the information for that world. Unfortunately, due to having to attend a family reunion, he could only be there Thursday.

We held a Chakat Nom & Yap at "Tonic Bar & Grill" on Saturday after Uncle Kage's story hour. We had 21 attendees, and the event was very successful, even if it was a tad hard to have a conversation against the background noise. Thanks to everyone who turned up!

Found out that there was a fairly large Aussie contingent this year - up to 16 of us, I hear. Cynwolfe, our MiDFur chairman was one of them, as well as Jenner, author/artist of the Doc Rat web comic. He held a cocktail party on Sunday evening. Met up again with a lovely girl who goes by the name of Dingo, and have been enjoying her company. Sadly we will have to part ways today.

Tomorrow I have to catch a flight back to California at a ridiculously early hour of the morning. Not looking forward to that! I really would like to sleep a bit longer.
