Well, I made it back earlier, however I immediately passed out, so this is the first chance I've gotten to turn on my PC. :P
I had a great time, spending the majority of it behid
Rukis' table. Was all good, and much laughter was had - even bought myself an OTBP hardcover the first morning, and the boy bought me one of those very pretty OTBP necklaces. I wish I could have afforded one of the Red Lantern collars, as those are nifty, but the Medium was big on me anyway and the smalls were sold out waaay too fast anyway, so that saved me from making bad life choices... for myself, I'm sure Rukis wouldn't have thought it was a bad choice! ;)
In any case, I did sell some of my stickers, but not too many. I also didn't take any commissions, even to take home, this con, so it was a major money sink for me, and we're trying to figure out expenses now - however, we're not hurting really, just dug into savings a little more than we wanted to - but I'd say I still came out ahead in experience, as usually I'm sitting behind an Artist Alley table, working as hard as I can on on-demand drawings all day, every day, and don't really get the chance to talk to anyone or see anything. So I'd say overall, I do enjoy working a Dealer's booth than trying to make ends meet in the Alley. Something about not having to worry about making my own ends meet, takes a lot of stress off. I like it. :P
Aaaaand as a note, I do realize I didn't sell too many stickers because I didn't have a wide variety. I hit a sort of mental wall until the last day (thanks, muse. Good job there.) and didn't have Puck, Puck x Ransom, or Grayson available yet. I'm definitely going to be working on those, however, as I have to make sure I get Rukis her copies.
The fox even had fun, too, and said that it was totally worth the time and finances to do this, and I'm looking forward to coming back again next year and booth-sitting, and seeing all the faces and people again. I'm really an introvert at heart, but when it comes to people I share interests with, it's really nice to actually get to socialize a bit... even if it leaves me physically drained at the end of the day.
