Kaaaaaaaaaahn!

I blew off Columbus like I said. I did in fact go to rathacon which was fun. They had more vendors than ever but I can’t see how this will last. No one seemed to be buying anything and half the patrons were also vendors. This little con needs WAY better advertizing. I did get to go around and I bought at least two books too many (and I only bought two). Well one was from someone in my writers group so I felt like I had to and I bought one without reading the back from someone I’ve liked before but it turned out to be zombies. Sigh. Moron, me.

I also got three comic books. One from an indie artist that I always get somethingt from. And James Patrick was there. I got something him, a Green Arrow (not really favorite but hell you need to get stuff from DC authors when you get the chance) and The Monster of Jimmy Crumb a horror comic he wrote.

I am still thinking of getting my own tabel there next year. I have to see how much it’ll cost. Maybe my steampunk friends will help me run it. Our first mate won first place in the costume contest. He does nice costuming. These peope are why I want to move closer to Athens. They are fun people to be with. In spite of me saying I wouldn’t get henna again (it’s no longer working well on me) I did because I know the henna artists and even she wasn’t getting any business. I felt bad.

I found two girls (we were back to back tables) selling geeky bath bombs, chocolates and soaps. I took their name/address in Parkersburg. Yeah it’s 2 hours from me but maybe I’ll go this October on a ghost hunt and stop there for holiday gifts (though I think ELD’s bathtub can only do showers and Flippy is allergic to like a million soaps…)

I did manage to break one of my glass vials so that sucked but they’re replaceable. I can’t be trusted with breakables. I also got to talk to the lady who made Cecil, my three eyed baby as she came down from MI for this and I can’t imagine it was profitable. Seriously. Her husband didn’t help. He’s like I hate these dolls. Don’t make me take it home. But this time she had nothing but superhero babies so meh.

My internet is still too slow to upload pictures. Oh well. I promise, some day!
