Megaplex
Wow, can you believe Megaplex is coming up TOMORROW ZOMG. XD
Well, sort of. Tomorrow I get to see AC and Akela and whoever else is coming down. <3 (who all IS coming anyway? I mean other than the people I get to see because they live in Florida. LOL)
It's kind of surreal. Having a con (relatively) in your town makes it seem like it's not happening, because you don't have to pack and gear up for a big trip and all that stuff.
Joe and I will both be in the dealer's room. I'll have my arts as usual, and Joe's bringing his chain mail stuff, which he's been teaching me to do and I've been helping him make some stock. :) (We finally have some photos of some of the stuff on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24939656@N07 ) I can't do anything terribly complex- just some little basic things but I can help a little at least. :) (Some of the stuff Joe's done.. man! Those tightly woven things? I don't think my fingers have enough control for that!)
Oh and by the way if anyone has requests for the chain mail stuff let Joe (silverdark) know about it so he can getcha in line. :) He will be doing custom work at the con. ^_^ And of course we'll bring lots of rainbows with us!! :D
Tonight I'm gonna be packing up the fursuit stuff and getting it ready to go, and I'm also going to be getting all my art stuff ready. We're going to try and keep it to the bare minimum this time around!!
Megaplex is tentatively the last furry con we'll be attending this year... IF we get the house. If we have the house we will have to skip RCFM (our closing date will be the end of May, so...) and we'll have to skip AC too. We are visiting NC over Labor Day weekend so that (among other things) rules out MFM. We *might* get to MFF but that is -highly- unlikely.
We WILL be going to Ancient City Con, which is being held in Jacksonville this year. We haven't sent in our table reg for that yet. It's in August, and it's all the gaming/sci-fi/fantasy/anime stuff. It'll give us a taste for how the chain mail (which will be our main focus) sells at other types of cons. I'll probably bring my binder of prints in case someone wants one but I'm not counting on it. (Although a couple of my prints might cater to the anime crowd...)
So that's our con season in a nutshell... if we find out (which will be by April 11th) that we are NOT getting the house, we may be able to squeeze in RCFM and AC. But it's hanging in limbo right now. :P
