The Joy of Being a Sarcastic B****

But not just any cat ears.  I bought these:

That’s right.  I bought $100 Necomimi cat ears.  I know…what?  That’s a lot for moving ears.  However, my electrical engineer friend (PiC’s husband) thought they were awesome and upon trying them, I thought they were pretty fun to have, too, so WTH - I didn’t buy anything else at the con…all three of us bought them.  

Besides, we learned we can replace the ears, so we plan on asking a friend to make some custom ears for us.  :3  

Hey…if I’m going to buy cat ears like everyone else at the con, I might as well buy interesting ones. 

Everyone is was pretty nice and we got to see lots of people.  Our neighbors were cool and we go to sit behind one of our friends (that we actually know outside the con).  We sold almost purely buttons at this con, because sold out of shirts at the last event (Cherry Blossom Festival).  

AA was pretty good.  The artists in there were amazing and, as always, I was blown away by their talent.  It makes me want to improve….  People were very nice, too - very friendly!  In the elevators at night, whenever people left, we’d always get a “have a good night” or “enjoy the con”!  Despite all the little hick-ups (the power outage on Thursday, during registration, the several hour long registration line, and so forth), it was good and I’m always a little sad when it’s over.  

I think we did pretty good for buttons, but my favorite thing had to be the auction.  Two years ago or so, we were asked to donate some pins - a specific set we don’t openly sell, as it’s more an inside joke for those who are familiar with the con staff - to the auction.  The six 1.25” set sold for $60.

Everytime the count down changes, I’m like “son of a bitch…”.

It’s coming and I’m excited, but I still have much to do.  I know many people are cosplaying, so they’re doing their last minute costume stuff.  For Artist Alley people, it’s a different game of preparing our displays, merchandise, and supplies. 

:sigh: Almost done with the button designs, now I just need to focus on organizing and packing and a ton of other stuff.

…I also need to continue writing that ATLA fanfic…

I HAVE 7 MORE BUTTONS TO MAKE.

And these are special buttons!  They’re hoping to do another auction this year and we’ve been asked to donate some buttons, so I’ve decided to make special ones this time around.  We’re hoping to top the amount from last time and earn more money for the charity.

I swear, I will never get used to the pre-convention jitters.  We’ve been in Fanime’s Artist Alley for like 6 years now and I still get extremely nervous before hand.  We only have one table this year, and we’re smack in the middle of the floor, so I hope people can find us. 

Table T180 - EnS - a.k.a. - The 50¢ Button People (We have a name, guys…T_T)

YES - we are still doing on-the-spot button requests, so if you have something you’d like, bring it over and we’ll see what we can do. 

YES - we are still doing over-night requests for those willing to wait.

YES - we are still happy to make buttons for other artists if they do not have a machine and need buttons made; on-site and over-night.

YES - our pink banner with the panda and penguin is still the same.

NO - I have not finished any new comics (I’m sorry).
