Whoo! I got a table in the Artist's Alley at Anime Boston!
I am so excited! This is my first time with an artist's table at a convention!!! And my first time at Anime Boston! (but far from my first time selling to the public (craft fairs) or my first time going to a convention in general)

You should definitely create a post about what it's like to man a table in the artist alley for people that would like to get into that in the future *COUGH*ME*COUGH* In fact, I do wonder if there's a helpful thread for that yet or not...if there is and even if there isn't, if Spike still has her sketch video of helpful table hints up, that'd be the place to post it... -sinks into thought-

I will make a big post, with links to photos and the like. I expect to do a much better job at posting said photos than I did the last con I went to. . . I may even have a video or two, depending on how long I can get away from my table! But that shouldn't be too bad, I do have someone going with me to watch my table when I am off helping out at panels about Stuffies and Ramune.

Bring some coffee. You wouldn't think it's exhausting to just sit there for hours but it is.

Modern_Ruin Bring some coffee. You wouldn't think it's exhausting to just sit there for hours but it is. I will bring something. I am used to doing craft fairs. . . But it's different, I know. I'm usually standing at those, and they last only 7-8 hours from set up to break down. . . But I will have company for most of it, and the people on either side of me. wink Have you been? Is it really worth it? (oh, and sidekick girl rocks! i found it just before I joined this guild)

Sadly, Boston would be a bit of a trek for me. If you ever have a booth at a con in Austin, Houston, or, more importantly at AggieCon in College Station I will most definitely check your's out! (If it's at AggieCon, I'll probably even be helping you set it up!) Have fun anyway!

Thank you! I hope to have fun! And you have fun with your cons, they are a little far for me at the moment. Maybe another year.

Haha, yeah the distance thing goes both ways. Here's hoping you get famous enough to travel further, though.
I've never actually even attended a con before sweatdrop But I'm in a club at my college that's puts one on every year, so I'm gonna be helping run one in March! Whoop! I'm gonna be sooo tired xp

I've only ever been to one con, which was Sugoi Con in the Cincinnati, Ohio area (which is the area I live when I'm not in school) and the only one near where I go to school is OMG Con, which happens during the summer. I may be able to make to Sandiego Comicon this summer though!

I can't count the number of conventions I've been to over the years. But the vast majority of them were RPG cons, not anime cons. I have been to one Anime (Bakurestucon) con three times now, and it's so different from RPG cons! I love it. I just hope i love Anime Boston as much! It sure costs enough!

I've worked GenCon and Dragon Con but the only one I actually sat at for my own comic is the Motor City Comic Con (which is a nice convenient 40 minutes from my house in Detroit). So tiring.

So tiring. You. . . you've been to GenCon? Oh! I have been dreaming of going to GenCon since I was a young lass roleplaying at my daddy's knee (nearly literally, he was my first GM, I think I was 13 or 14 when I went to my first little con here in the NE (ten when I started playing)). What's it like? Is it as hectic as they say? As fun? I'm so envious! The biggest con I've ever been to was Origins back when it was still moving (different area of the country every year, but I think it's stationary now, haven't looked). That was pretty cool, although I was really there as a tourist and my dad was playing/GMing. I kept my mum company, site seeing in Baltimore.

Oh that's so cute, your dad was your first GM ^_^
My dad and I used to play video games on the nintendo system we had. And then he introduced me to the computer and I played the Three Stooges game CONSTANTLY. Up until high school he was my source of video games. 3nodding
