MAGfest!
12 years ago
General
I've been working my fingers to the nubs ever since I got back from my vacation to prep stock for Magfest, and I have a lot of great stuff! I came up with a new style of bag I'm calling journeyman satchels (I won't have any at the con though--they were a commission) that I am SO excited to make more of them! If anyone will be at Magfest, swing by my table. I don't know where it'll be yet, though. Just somewhere in the dealer room. X) I have a painted black banner hanging from the front of my table that says "Screaming North Leatherwork."
I wish I were staying at the hotel, though. I live close enough to just stay at home and save the money... but there's so much cool stuff going on! I hope to meet awesome friends and play cool games... especially my friend Ben's caveman P&P game, where the players can only communicate via grunting and gestures. (I helped brainstorm it. I have no idea how complete it is--it's probably super vague but that's what I want.)
Thor will be with me so I'll be able to spend some time wandering and having fun though, so that's something. One of us will be at my table from noon-ish to midnight-ish everyday, depending on how we feel.

In *THEORY* it's all the things I love. I've heard their vending room is an open hallway with no shut down time - this just doesn't sound right in my head.
Magfest was pretty good. I've never been until now. I made a hefty profit and it everyone was friendly--including their dealer room organizer. She was super nice and helpful. The dealer room is open 24/7, yes, which is a little bit stressful... Some people just tossed sheets over their tables, some tore their stuff down and stuck it under their tables, and some (like me) tore their stuff down and put it in the secure storage areas that the staff has. I'll definitely be going next year!
*hmm* I think my biggest problem is that I no longer remember how to *just* go to a convention.
I'm the same way, I think... I'm great at going and selling, and I love it, but just as an attendee... I have no idea what to do with myself. Except at my home con, Balticon. I always have a fun time attending there.
In a closed room, sure, I might not even cover the table, depending on how well I know the other folks there.
Open hall? *fssss* I'd have to see it, I guess..?
I haven't been to Balticon in forever, is it still tiny?
Yeah, it's definitely been too long, and Baltimore is right around the area I *should* be vending in. How's their DR situation?
I rarely make it to the art show, because I never know what I'll have when I arrive. *hmm* I keep meaning to put something BIG in Anthro's art show...
