Anime North Photos + Report

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 1, 2010, 4:58 PM
WARNING: LOADS OF PHOTOS
I'm like exhausted, since I had AN and then I came back to tons of homework. ;n;
BUT, here is the con report I promised (with pictures)! Prepare for a long-ass journal.

Being stuck behind the table all weekend, all my photos of cosplayers are taken in the same spot rofl. So, when you look through the photos, you can see the table across from us setting up... OTL Ahaha.

Anyway, I was tabling with :iconhinashi: at the con. It was so much funnnn!
:heart:

Day 1
I got to the con at around 3:10 by bus.. OMG the ride was miserable. The bus was crammed with people and I had to drag my suitcase and the rack ffff. D: I somehow made it to the con and then waited in pre-reg line for a while, and then signed in. After setting up I just kind of sat there and waited until :iconhinashi: arrived and stuff.

Day 2
Omg Saturday was so crazy. There was so many people, and I made like double the amount of the first day. oAo I was very happy when people from DA visited me! Thanks guis :hug:
I didn't walk around at all on this day... I didn't get any comissions on Friday, so I decided to lower my prices to around 2 dollars for an inked chibi and 4 dollars for a inked waist-up. I know it was kind of undercharging, but I didn't have anything to do while I was tending the table anyway.

Day 3
I got like 6 comissions on Sunday OTL. Took wayy more than I could handle.. *is slow*
During the last 2-3 hours, we started giving people discounts, and I ran around asking people for print trades and stuff. I also sent :iconrainberry: around like the slavedriver that I am to buy stuff + do trades.

I didn't even get enough time to go into the dealer's room.. 3 days is too shorrrtttttt!
Ah well, there's always next year!

Thank yous:
:iconrainberry: was working as a volunteer and her father drove me back and forth on Saturday and Sunday. ;u; Thanks so much for the rack and for running back and forth to buy stuff for me!  

:icontenyune: for being amazing + keeping us company on Sunday, and for comissioning, and for drawing Hei from DtB for me, and being talented. /endless thanks/ *u*

Also :iconidagger: for buying us food and for helping watch the table. <3 You're a lifesaver!
and :iconauralin: for putting up with me and my requests to borrow stuff all weekend. OTL

Lastly, ty to everyone who walked by and said hi or bought something! You guys make this possible. :thumbsup:

Now, onto the pics
photo of our table with me working on a comission for someone.


fft there wasn't one pic where my facial expression was decent, so I might as well just upload one where you can't see my face, lolol.





















SO CUTE fuuuu.

If you're wondering why everything in the background is super blurry, it's totally my fault OTL. I forgot to turn on flash. Why am I failing so much recently? ;A;
Oh well.


Here's another pic of me drawing.
I don't know why there are so many of these photos.

I also saw many talented DA artists there, and even print traded with some. Thanks so much guys! *u* It was very nice seeing you all and talking to you!

:iconbluefeathers: :iconoceantan: :iconhitsukuya: :iconaka-shiro: :iconperipyrus: :iconmimiu78: :iconichigo-oh: :iconyuwing: :iconangeeya: :iconalice-sama:
ect.ect.

Most likely forgot a whole bunch of people because:
1. my memory is horrible
2. I'm pretty much brain-dead right now
3. I didn't get everyone's DA / a lot of people didn't have business cards

I'm sorriesssssss.

Anyway I'm out of things to type and my hands kind of hurt.
I'm eternally grateful to everyone! *bows*
