2] Creating a Convention Schedule for 2008. <--I could use Friendly help with this one. POLL TIME!!

- In 2006 I managed 13 conventions in 12 months. My god, I wont EVER being doing that again.

- In 2007 I swore off conventions entirely from being burnt out. I did still attend a three but never the whole con; AnimeNEXT as a Food Runner, NYComicCon as a Booze Runner & Cookie Pusher and AnimeBoston doesn't exactly count, because while I managed to have a table I spent the whole convention napping under it feeling ill. And that's that.

- In 2008 I'd like to pick just three or four conventions to actually work [not just attend or booze/food run]. It would be ideal to have one per season, but winter is very difficult on my legs so travel is messy.

[Poll #1091911]

There are a couple of others not included because my interest wasn't exactly peaked; Big Apple Con, Dragon*Con, YaoiCon, NYComicCon. By that I mean I'd be willing to attend but not to work it, if cost weren't so high or I could share a table I might be persuaded. [Otakon is omitted because its shit.]

I don't need to go to cons but I like to. There is something of a community there that I've been without for a year now. My art has suffered for that, so I'd like for this "One Con a Season" scheme to work out, permanently. Just, you know, rotating conventions yearly so I can see more people, places and friends. Not to mention it's profitable with some effort put.

I'll post Step 3 later on tonight.

Alright then, since I'm about to disappear for the next 40-ish hours in preparation for the rest of April-related doom, I thought I should update beforehand instead of losing my mind trying to play catch up later this week when it would be entirely inconvenient to do so.

Wednesday - The perfect reason to dye my hair something silly and purchase and wear a stupid shirt. Just what I needed to shake the ghetto skank off my skin, yeah bitches XD Placebo @ Roseland

Thursday - While not my actual birthday there will be a party to celebrate the event. Incidentally, I will not be there as my Sibling Sister and Wife!J are hosting so I'll be home sitting with the childrens. But if you're up for it, you should go for two very good reasons; 1) rounds need to be had in my absence 2) funds go to pay for my nieces' education, etc.

~~Friday~~ - AnimeBoston or Bust! ^_^

Edits: Yes the Con is next week, yes, I'm an idiot for over-cramming shits into my April, no I haven't slept yet.

A bit of Nay:

Otakon held my check because it was made out to "Val France". Of course, they didn't get a hold of me to let me know. And that information they make us artists fill out in duplicate; USELESS. I haven't been a victim of this level of dumdassery since high-school.

A bit of Yay:

SoCo's Voodoo Music Experience is back in New Orleans for the first time since Katrina. While this might be very random to you, it is very-very fuckin' YAY to me XD

Right now, I really just want to break some ~~faces~~ things, blow off the East Coast and live in the bayou. >_>

V. special thnx to

aegeus &

otemen
for going above and beyond the calls of companionable duties. <3

Before I sit down and write out a full-bitch rant about how Otakon is "teh suck-fest" of conventions [and this, right after I thought nothing could be worst than Yaoi-Con's utterly illogical/impractical set up] I wanted to thank friends and fans who showed up in spades despite bad weather and bad moods.

I really wanted to say goodbye to ota-things in style and while nothing went as planned, everything went down pretty much as expected.

The experience, while worthwhile, was you guys. It's all you baby, god love ya.

Friday: So many kids, so much of the time. Overheating fries my blow dryer.
Saturday: aegeus, jlh and the adorable wordplay join us for the viewing of anime. Minutes before, overheating fries my TV.
Sunday: Brooklyn is achieved through no small feat. mr_cutiepants & akickinthehead are far too indulgent of too many kids. Masses of White Fudge Cookies and Cheese Taquitos. Overheating fries my brain.
Today/Tomorrow:Hibernation
Wed: Prints Getting, supply acquiring, hair dying, last chance for laundry.
Thursday: Otakon or Bust!

*People missing from the equation, should really try and reach me at the homestead. Because I'm all about the being fried and not having time for stuffs....
