MAKE MICHELLE CRY CON: A Post-FA:U report
12 years ago
Oh thank goodness con season is over. I gotta get work done.
So yeah, FA:U was HELLA FUN. And in case you guys don't get the title of this journal, FA:U does a charity auction for the NJSPCA (New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, look 'em up and help em out!) and this wonderful lady named Michelle is the NJSPCA's liason to the con. We make it a point to make her cry at least once every year (good tears, though, not being mean). We did just that by raising over $10,000 for them. We made her cry I think 7 times. Hell, we made her captain cry, and that dude was a scary-looking crew-cut military-lookin' guy.
I gotta admit, I really dug this con. Got plenty of business, chat with some really awesome peeps. The con put my art on the conbook and the labcoats they were sellin, and I came home with a couple posters (one for my wall cuz I was proud as hell of that pic and I want it above my monitor, and another for my mom cuz she loves me). I even hit up gideon's panel and found out he's a fan of my work, which was a bit of a perk-up. My own panel went off pretty well, and the create-a-character with missmab was a hilarious failure of democracy as expected (not a bad thing, just hilarious) and I may well be doodling up the monster that came of that sometime in the near future.
Really, the only things I could possibly bitch about are the things outside of the convention's control. Namely, the mayhem spread by that wedding party, and how stupidly far I had to travel to get there. Btw, fourteen hour train rides SUCK. But I might yet go back next year, regardless of the distance, though I think next year I'mma fly there instead. But all in all, silverautomatic and dragoneer run a pretty awesome convention, and I strongly recommend you check it out next year.
Anyways, I'm gonna get back to work and get posting again in the next couple days once I've had a chance to rest. I've been busy as hell the last month and a half, and I've got a little backlog to clear up.

Then again, with trains you can at least stretch and move and walk about. Two hours feeling like your spine is saying "F U" and wants to reverse chest-burster out your back? Nyyeeeah.
Sounds like a lot of fun was had though. And yay for Mab-character-abomination-mashups! XD
Quite amusing. XD
glad to see you had a great con though! hope to see you in the future ^^
Wat. There's still MFF and FCN!
Used to live in the B'ham metro area, but have since migrated to Illinois.
I only saw Laz as one of the 3 guests of honor.
The create a character panel actually started out fairly sane... Until Mr. Landing Gear the ferret came about. >_>;
I am interested to see what the world thinks of Vincent the unicycle pizza delivery cyborg. And it was a pleasure meeting you at the con.
Keep up the fantastic work. I've always at least somewhat enjoyed your stuff, but now you have a true fan for life. :)
