So...the show wasn't that great.

valis2I mean, it was really busy--but I didn't have a lot of customers, myself. I only broke even. I think it was a combination of things; my inventory is low, so it's all overpicked, my location sucked, and I didn't have the hot merch that everyone wants.
I'm happy that I managed to do a bit of turnover--I sold some things that I've had for awhile and was worried about selling.
Anyway, I did have a weird moment where my private life and my show life converged--a group of fen approached my table, bought things, and started talking about yaoi and hentai. Seriously. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say those words at a show before--though I have seen someone with a yaoi backpack before.
I outed myself, and we had a really fun conversation, and I tried to steal a really cool shirt one of the girls was wearing, only it didn't work.
I wrote haikus, as the previous entry shows.
Thank goodness I drove there the morning of (even though it's 4 1/2 hrs). I'm so glad I didn't have a second night at a hotel, because then the show would have been a loss.
And I did get to stop at Jungle Jim's, and they had Tim Tams this time, and yes, they are fantastic. Yum.
