Hauled in, unloaded with ease, got my cheap no-problem parking place, found April, checked into the hotel. All like I've done this before. Spent most of Wednesday finding friends and saying Hello, hello!
A dealer friend on mine said he doesn't get a booth because he can just bring his old Magic Cards, sell them, make the same amount he would normally make by working hard all 4 days. He just enjoy's himself the rest of the time. he bought me a Remorhaz figure as I mentioned it was my Favorite Monster.
Had my picture take with Loth! My husband tweeted back to me about things that happened in my game - and I smiled. He might be taking credit for something one of the other gamers said - but it was wayyyyy excellent.
Lar came and found me and showed me I am in the new Least I could do game! I'm on the cover and everything. Turns out, I'm a cheap date. How did they know?
Every year, I look at the Dwarvin Forge mini's and want them! This year was no exception. And - I don't even run minis! This year it was undead, bones and skeletons. Yeah, sounds just like parts of my game - I can totally see what to do with them... and I don't use minis. They use to have a contest - and I would be totally perfect to win, 'cause then, I would buy so many more.
D&D Next (Dungeon's and Dragons Fifth edition) is on everyone's conversation list. I pounced on so many people to tell me what happened at the playtest. So many interesting viewpoints. It won't be out for a while, and I am hungry for it already.
Did art - as always. Sold six originals (the little ones) and was left with two. I had homework (drawing over night) every night - and have been teaching new buyers how this whole commission thing works.
Picked up 9 take home commissions! Ran out of forms to give people (Thank goodness Kri could get some copies made for me).
Didn't find Elizabeth Vaughn - who's novels I LOVE. Karen said she mentioned me to her, so I'll look for her online.
Sold out of all sorts of things!
Bought Dice, $2 game books of spells, traps and monsters, a game supplement (Pathfinder as I don't have the time to search for something more appropriate to my game). Tome Smith gave me stuff! I traded art for one of the Drow dice. Traded for these art card portfolio things. Found a 20sided on the floor so that closes my con well.
Packing out is hard on me when I am alone - because I have no one to stand guard over my trunk and stuff while I walk to the van, and wait in the staging grounds (which are packed at close). Everything was great! Dealers, con staff and convention staff look over over things. Long drive home alone, which means I sing my fool head off - which is also hard as my voice is going after all the talking, talking, talking.
Signed up and looking forward to next year.
