~ Roxanne's Bulletin Board ~
Hey everyone,
So I am considering going to a con and artists alley for my first time :3
Before I make a final decision I am looking for some tips be it from an artist or a customer. Ive never been so any advice can help me out
I am also wondering about bags... I am only assuming that your gonna want bags for the art you buy am I right? :o
I may be selling a few prints, but more o originals and commissions ~
Thanks

Which one are you thinking of going to?
Take a shirt change and maybe some wet-wipes/deodorant just in case you need to wash your armpits or something; don't want to get smelly partway through the day; sometimes the rooms are warm!
Also, make sure you bring enough food for the day unless you want to send people on food runs. It's also a great idea to have somebody else who can man the table for a few minutes as there will be times you want to get up and see what's going on around the rest of the room.
Maybe we'll come visit if you're not going far from home. :)
I didnt know I could have someone with me, do they also have to pay? ( they wont be drawing or selling art)
Gah, i hate hot rooms... I was hoping to dress in the theme but i dont have an extra dress to take lol. Damn... Not sure I can carry all this stuff on the bus after all...
Food yes... Hadn't considered that I would be there that long xD
But that makes sense.
Thanks for letting me know about the dorky cheese people. Hopefully I wont have to tell anyone to take a hike but if I do I will. More likely I might end up ignoring them, not to be rude but just to work. It is hard to work if a bunch of new people come over though... Hmm... What to do...
Thanks for le tips
they are only 3'x36" so quite small... I'm not sure i can fit 2 people in that space tbh.
I am slightly confused with the info... I am also assuming I need to pay to enter the con before I can sign up for AA as well... nobody has answered my though.
