Wanted to do a quick write up about the weekend.

First off, it was wonderful to catch up with so many people! PalominoPony, -Mercury-, Rory-Kade,Simmer, Keyush, Ranciddinosaur, Raivn-anarki, Gearsypoodrox, Pachabel, Eski, StripeTail, Fictive and so many others. All the clients who had art to pick up from me were delightful to talk with.
I also had the opportunity to sit and chat with Hanmonster who is such a wonderful person. I was really sad to have to put off our Pho plans, but with my mouth all messed up it couldn't happen.

If you haven't been following me on Twitter, I had an infection in my mouth/face under a wisdom tooth. I had to have an emergency extraction Thursday afternoon right before the con. My face was swollen the whole weekend and eating should have been an Olympic game it was so challenging! I looked horrible! I am glad I could still wear a mask for short periods.

Goodies;
Bought a chibi feral badge from Ritz-Bitz. She was great and delivered it after my panel Friday night.
I bought a badge from Dark Natasha. She is very nice and asked a lot of questions to make sure my character was correct. Her and the artist next to her were excited at bat-eared fox.
Got a dragon head base from Canine Hybrid.
Bought a Pachabel original.
Some prints and originals from SpringDragon in a mystery bag.
A Yang charm from RWBY from Pins and Needles.
And finally I won one of Raciddinosaur's mugs. It has a red/orange chubby griffin in it!

Panel;
Learned enough that I am not sure I ever want to do a tech related panel again unless I own everything I need (projector, screen, power cords, surge protector, everything). I showed up early, since technology was involved, so I could get everything synced and hooked up. Well, nothing was ready. Nothing. Poor Xersa was the only one there trying to get a screen set up. We, Palomino (who was a great help!) and I, set up the room.
So, my panel didn't start on time. We needed another extension cord and once we had one, the project wouldn't sync to my computer. Xersa found another projector and that one worked.
No problems running it, but set up was a nightmare. All those who attended received 7 custom brushes. Four were made during the panel, two are ones I use and the last was because I have been meaning to make a brush like it for a while.

I probably will release the brushes into the wild in a couple of weeks. Haven't decided for free or a small charge yet.

Suits;
Gumball was a hit. I need to get some turn around photos of them. Gum will probably go up for sale so I can get some parts to make another suit.
Arthy, I forgot how tiring it was on my legs to wear faun legs. Oh my gosh it is a work out. I finally got her hooves to stick. Third time's the charm and gorilla glue.

Artshow;
Sold 4 pieces out of 12. Not bad.
Shout out to Gayle, who was on point this year. She was great.

Climate;
There has been some rough waters here in Colorado. After this con (and a bowling event earlier this year) I am not sure I can really participate in person anymore, at least in this state. I love RMFC, even being disorganized, it is my homecon. I work with the public and I just can't be associated with what is going on.

I will sit back and see what RMFC does before deciding if I am going next year. There are a lot of folks I would love to see again.
