Quickie Con Year in Review: January - Ohayocon '05 - Airport lost my luggage for a day and a half. Great venue, but we had to share it with a "Teens for Jesus" summit (We called 'em God Con). Made decent money and had fun in Otaku's Choice. Febuary - Katsucon '05 - Only got to go Sunday. Split building con had me confused. Really glad I wasn't selling there. May - Anime North '05 - Wow, lots of running back and forth. Was on 2 panels, sold really well in the Artist Alley (thanks to Jade) ^_^ Enjoyed spending time with Regina and seeing her perform. Missed all of Friday, bits and peices of Sat, but Sunday was all con. ^_^ Got to stay and extra day because it was a long weekend. July - Anime Expo '05 - ROCKY start, Expo's Artist Alley needs some SERIOUS administrative re-working. Despite that had a lot of fun w/ all the people I got to meet (the RSC girls, Rod, Mishi & Eric) Having my booth next to Clega sealed my *need* for a BJD. Totally surreal being in the Artist Alley. August - Otakon '05 - Everytime I take my car somewhere I have trouble (blown tire this time in Rochester). It was fun getting in early to Baltimore and seeing the Aquarium. Artist Alley was huge and overwhelming. Did very well. ^_^ Made enough to buy my first doll, Irish (an obitsu 60cm). Got to talk w/ Mindy for a little bit. Only got to see a little bit of the convention (AMVS!). Really need to get a partner who still loves the anime/manga scene like I do. September - Onna '05 - Got to meet up with Cat again and saw Usa-p and Christy for the frist time in 2 years. Finally got to meed Elina. Had fun playing the phrase game, got to be on another panel. It was fun actually "attending" a con instead of working a con. I really hope there will be another one. ^_^ That's a quick year in review for the cons I've been to, if anyone was interested.
