Good experience staffing in Kempi's, many thanks to Rheldar, Boz, Heather, Ty, and Zuli. Y'all worked really hard and made it go well!
From a selling perspective the art show was eh. I have 15 items in the show, 2 of them Lhexa's, and only sold three. (not the ones I'd expect to sell, either!) I may be stuck in the past re: what people want; Ethpee pointed out that most of the stuff there was really pretty full color artwork. It's not like years past when B&W pinups dominated. My cutesy watercolors probably would have done better back then.
People like the jokes, though! :) Even the ones that I'm not sure that I get myself!
The silver lining was getting to go around and give away a lot of the art that didn't sell. I found most of it good homes, and it makes me happy putting it in hands that appreciate it...and keeps the closet back home slightly less full.
I didn't get to prance around in my costume too much, but I had a nice time when I did. Almost immediately misplacing the battery for the head fan was stupid! The little fridge in the room was great for recharging the cooling packs though!
Corbeau was flitting all over the place with his camera for basically the whole weekend, but he ate with me so I got to see him a little. We danced a little on thursday night while Edgewise was in the main ballroom, and more late late Saturday night while Cozmic was playing to a mostly deserted consuite. We (and one red panda chap) enjoyed it at least!
Happy to see everyone, great to get to hug lots of folks! Got introduced to some new folks which was great, if you're one of them poke me and remind me what your name is 'cuz I'm SO BAD at names. :)

Havencon's coming up soon, it's not a furry con exactly but it's in Austin!
How did it go in general when it came to adult v general/tame stuff? I remember last time I went, the bidding action on adult stuff was kinda tepid.
I was experimenting with higher prices, in the 20-40$ range, that may have been a negative factor too.
Still happy that I participated, just a little bemused!
:)
*hugs* See you in a month!
