Boy, this was sure a year.
Otakuthon went alright, considering plans fell apart, and my friend Nicole was unable to go due to back problems that chose just before the con to make themselves known.
Then heard that the people who do Ottawa Comic Con were suddenly doing a new convention called Ottawa Pop Expo that'd be happening in December, so I took the chance to grab a table there.
So then came Naru2U.... was actually not too bad a year for me. Better than past couple. Then my little sister got married, so went for a trip to Toronto weekend before the Pop Expo... Then came the expo! Sadly it was definitely not the same crowd the ComicCon gets. It was a little quieter and seemed people weren't ready to buy christmas presents (think there were also a LOT of crafter artists AND dealers, so there was a fair bit of over saturation going on.) Made back my table, and little else. BUT that's the way these things go. lol
Thus finally ended my con season. I don't think I'll have another event till Anime North, so have awhile to recover and finally get to work on filling up my Etsy.
First things first, however! Every year for past 5 or so years now, I have a Christmas sale of all my left over con stuff, and doing the same thing once more!
Check out my Tumblr for details!

And that is that for this year. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!

2018 Conventions!
Ugh... how has it been a year...
Here's how this year is shaping up!
Anime North - Less than two weeks away, eep! In the dealers room again with Jack and Pookie Publishing! Should be at V-16 as usual, unless something has changed. ^.^ (And due to rule changes, yeah, be mostly just selling my craft things. Not that I sell a lotta prints and stuff these days anyways, so wasn't a big loss. lol)
Otakuthon - Ugh... well I was on the waiting list... but something came up after I applied that wouldn't get resolved until end of May, so I was sorta... praying my spot wouldn't come up until then... NOPE. No such luck. I got mail yesterday and had to
2017 Conventions!
...Apparently, I entirely missed 2016. |Da
Hello there, everyone! I am, in fact, alive. More or less. Afraid still not running many conventions this year, but here's what's on the plate if anyone is interested!
Anime North! May 26-28th - I'll be in the Dealers Hall, at the Jack and Pookie Booth (V8) I'll have all my art and jewelry and what-not. :)
Otakuthon - Sadly, currently sitting on the waiting list and the fire sale list. Waiting to see what happens there.
Comic Con Xmas Sale - Assuming they do it again this year, in lieu of the dead Pop Expo. Will definitely be there if it comes up!
And that's what I'm looking at so far this year,
2015 Conventions~!
It's that time of year again! Conventions! Although this year, thus far, I only have two on my plate. ^.^;
Anime North! May 22nd to the 24th - I SHOULD be in the Crafter's Corner, but things are a lil' up in the air since my cheque still hasn't been cashed and I haven't been able to get a response outta the CC head yet if everything is okay or not. lol If things don't work out, my back has kindly been covered. Me and my stuff will be there, no matter what. XD
Otakuthon! August 7th to the 9th - CONVENTION FOR MY BIRTHDAY. \o/ Was a bit worried I hadn't scored a table, but I was a dumb and worried for nothing. I'm super looking forward to thi
How is it December?
Geez, the year sure flew. I swear they're getting faster. :|
Otakuthon came and went... it went pretty well! Pop Expo also came and went... it went pretty poorly. I think if they decide to continue the con, it really needs to be moved a lil' earlier in November or maybe into an October slot. The attendance seemed lower than last time, somehow, despite advertising EVERYWHERE. I wasn't expecting Comic con level of attendance, but 38,000 vs 7000... it's a bit baffling. (Other than apparently there was a LOT of Santa Claus parades that weekend. lol) Ah well. Bummer. See how things are next year.
As I always do, having a lil' Christmas sale. If

How's Otakuthon? I've actually been curious about giving that con a try at selling my amigurumi stuff there
