Aha!  Ahahaha!  AHAHAHAHAHA!  So the convention yesterday with Mike?  Amazing.  Turns out we were together for 18 straight hours, not 16.  This post will probably be long, because so many awesome things happened.

( Lots of humor, followed by HORROR, followed by more humor )

Tired still.  I really need to pack things in boxes and load up the car before it gets dark and cold outside but I'm just feeling lazy.  My parents are gone for the weekend and everyone else is going to the LTJ concert, so I'll be on my own tonight.  Might be kind of nice having a quiet house for the evening, though.  Maybe I'll go to Burger King ( Read more... )

I'm home, by the way.  :P  I didn't post yesterday because I was tired and still a little sickly and not exactly thinking straight.  On Saturday, a guy asked me for a cigarette because I still sounded like a smoker from my sore throat.  It was awesome.  I texted Mike and told him and he thought it was pretty fantastic.  It was this old guy who ( Read more... )

Holy crap you guys, I sound like a dude.  And I don't just mean the way I talk, now my actual voice sounds like one.  :P  On the plus side, this morning I finally started getting something when I cough.  That's a sign you're on the mend, right?  Productive coughing?  Gross, but a good sign...right?

We're leaving for Boise this afternoon and I haven' ( Read more... )

Oh man.  I so don't want to get back to real life.  XD  Coming back from conventions is so haaaaard.  Especially when it's from beautiful warm (but not too hot) weather to death snow that almost kills me on the drive home.  I think I'm leaving my Etsy and eBay stores on vacation for a few days while I catch up.  I've got to re-inventory everything ( Read more... )

Dun dun dunnnn!  Grand total in the cash box - $3600!  Best con ever!  :D :D :D

Melanie, your grand total is $504.  You have one pair of hairsticks left, OF COURSE, because it is impossible to sell the last one.  We got down to one about two hours before closing, and my mom and I were both like, "Well, no more hairstick sales."  And it was TRUE.  I ( Read more... )

A good day!  Total profits: $1260-ish.  Not too shabby.  That covers the cost of the booth plus some, so tomorrow we'll work on the hotel and gas.  Melanie, you sold a lot.  Enough that I am too lazy to add it up right now.  XD ( Read more... )

Today was good.  Not a ton of money yet, but there never is on the preview night, and about $300 for three hours ain't bad.  XD  I did sell some of the shirts, which is good because I spent a lot getting those and was really hoping they'd be a hit.  There were lots of people who were planning on coming back tomorrow to make their purchases.  I had ( Read more... )

AGH.  AGH.  AGH.

Did you guys know that the Phoenix Comicon in two weeks has expanded to a three-day convention and I have to be there for the preview night on Thursday night instead of Friday?

WELL I DO NOW.  Now it's time to run around and see if I can change my hotel reservation and if I'm going to miss anything important in accounting or calculus ( Read more... )

I am enraged.  I am infuriated.  I am REALLY REALLY PISSED OFF.

So Anime Banzai?  You know, that convention I've been selling at since it was a puny little club convention held on the community college campus?  THAT ONE?  I went to their website a few days ago and found that - whoa! - all the information is up for the dealers' room.  Even though I ( Read more... )
