I've survived Sakura-Con 2012!  With about 20k in attendance, I was in awe my the sheer size of this con.  I usually stick with smaller conventions with about a couple thousand at most.  I was pretty overwhelmed and felt as if I was way out of my league, but I had a ton of fun.  I met a lot of amazing people and was extremely flattered by what they said about my work.  Quite the morale booster for me!  While financially, the con was kind of a stumble for me, I learned quite a bit from this experience.  I have a better idea of what to do at larger cons in comparison to smaller ones now.  Displays are EXTREMELY important...and I will be spending much more time on them in the future.  I figured out pretty fast that by adjusting where certain items were, they got better reception.

I tabled with the awesome !  She's very talented, sweet, and amazing.   I really had a lot of fun spending the weekend with her!
I got to meet the uber cool button lady, !  Gahhh, I really want to return to Korea and invade Comic World with her!
Met a couple of other artists, but I'm faltering at dA names. ;

Many apologies ahead of time if I'm slow to respond on dA.  I'm busy trying to prepare for all of these cons on top of working full time. xD
