The Return

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 15, 2009, 6:25 PM


So, just came back from AE. It was in a new location this year, and this was the first year I had a proper Artist's table, so I went into it very excited. I liked the venue, but there were a few things that were really poorly planned out, like the fact that the bands playing on main stage were behind a cloth curtain separating our tables from the events. It was so loud at times that you couldn't hear what customers were asking. D:< And the fact that the stage lights were inseperable from our aisle's lights (apparently) meant that for the majority of con i was sitting in the dark next to a concrete post deafened by music and the atrocious event called Storytime. NEVER let these people have a microphone again unless they actually plan something for their two hours that's not gibberish and stupid noise. I was less than impressed with them.

But! On the good side, sunday was great~ Thank you to all the people who dropped by and bought art or flipped through the books. Thank you to the people who requested I put together an art book. (i think when I have enough nice images I will) and also I'll follow through with the request that I make a colouring book for sale. :3 Thank you especially to Alena, Kaji, Cory and Luka~ You made my event!!
