Post-AX Journal Entry

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 7, 2010, 3:22 AM
Because everyone and their moms are doing it.

AX this year was less fun and more stressful than last year because of certain things I need not disclose, but there are many other things that made this AX bearable.  If you had a bad AX this year, try to focus on the good stuff.  At least you didn't get terribly sick and still had to sell and do commissions like I did.  Or if you did, then at least you didn't die selling at a con.

First off, thanks to everyone who stopped by the table for various reasons, from buying stuff to just bothering me in general (ahem, yes, you know who you are).  Thank you for all the strange commissions, the random awkward moments, the fanart by ~pineapple-pocky and ~Haiyun, the cleavage payment, the dollar coins, the UCSD folks visitations, the awesome OP cosplayer folks who kept coming back to my table, and most especially, the paintin of ace with a hole in his stomach, courtesy of the awesome ~hanshee



Sales this year was surprisingly decent considering the amount of pre-AX drama that's going on.  I actually sold out of Marchen Time [link] because I forgot to restock, and I also ran out of a lot of my little postcards, especially the new ones I managed to shit out the weekend right before AX.  I was kept busy the entire con because of the number of commissions I got, and ended up not having time to visit artists I know around the alley until the last hour of the last day of AX.  

Maybe I should get a full-time helper next year or something.

Thanks also to everyone who bought a copy of WAITT.  I would never dream to sell 20 original comicbooks at a convention like Anime Expo.  I have 10 more copies of WAITT I will be selling at some point this month, but for now since I'm still coughing up my lungs and I have guests to entertain, I want to take a break from everything.  

Regarding WAITT: all of the preorders have been sent out.  Everything.  I no longer owe anyone anything.  If the book didn't get there, that's the post office's fault.  Next time I'm just gonna use an online store or something because it was unexpectedly difficult to manage alone.

Also, no online print sales this year.  Shipping is too painful.  I wish I was a cheesecake.

~e1n out.

Whhhhhaaaaaattttt????? You were sick?! :O I didn't know that, you seemed okay except something did feel off. Thanks for doing my commission. x3 It's already on my wall, framed. Its from you and its original so its extra special!! I was very surprised too when i saw that most of your postcards were sold out. I think my sister lost her Law one. :L She's currently looking for it. hehe... Dollar coin. :moew: AX was okay for me. The volunteers were assholes to the cosplayers for some weird reason, and nobody could sit down on the ground. -__- They thought we were a "fire hazard." Augh, i want the staff back. It's a maybe if i can come next year. If i do, i won't bother you as much, as i saw that you were extremely busy. I wouldn't mind helping you but i'm too young i'm guessing.

Gee, Ace looks like he's in pain! Maybe he should swallow some TUMS.

I'm glad you could sell so much! That's great for comic sales! :D

OMG! Ok, I just recently watched you because I love your talent and style (even though I don't read One Piece anymore) and I didn't know YOU were the person who made WAITT for UCSD! Your comics were the ONLY reason why I even picked up the Guardian! I even have some of your comics cut out and saved because they were so great (along with some Blockheads comics. Did you ever read those in the Guardian? Might have been after you left). Wooooooooow! Great to know that I can finally tell you how awesome your work is! I remember the last comic where you were leaving and so your characters were going to embark on the journey that is done-with-college life. I was like, "Wait, they're going?! It's over? It's OVER!? D: Noooooooo!" Ah, good times. Good times. Anyway, love your work and I'm sad that I never got to tell you how great your stuff was when you were at UCSD.
