So much to do, so very very little time...

       One week until Matsuri you guys! I've never been so stressed and and excited all at once before. I'm still not done with Patty, I'm totally lost on the hat. I think if I could find a hat for a base, I could build off of it, but making it from scratch is not working, and suggestions would help.

       Aside from that, I've been working on the Artist Alley stuff. I'll be selling some Lolita-esque accessories as well as prints, character pins, and other cute stuff. So if you're going come by our table, as I'll be sharing it with some other amazing artists and we could all use the support.

Mini Rant Time

       Also, I have some tips for those new to the convention scene, really it's something that should be common sense, but I guess there are some people in this world that are really that inconsiderate and stupid. My group and I recently ran into a giant load of drama cause by someone who decided to pull out at the last minute. Wait...what? Seriously? You're going to pull out at the last minute because you "can't" or "don't want to" pay for your part? Even after the rest of us have been working extremely hard to both be able to pay and be able to go? AND you're going to feed us some bull excuses as to why you can't go?

Uh, I don't think so.

       I'm not going into deep details, but this basically just happened. It ruined my entire day and made all of us have to run around frantically to try to find a replacement. I've terminated my "friendship" with this person because I don't like dealing with liars, incase anyone was wondering.
Basically my tip is, if you've commited to something like this, and it involves other peoples money, don't even dare backing out ONE WEEK BEFORE the event. I mean seriously wtf? 
Like I said, that should be common sense, but I guess not. O_o

Rant end

      On the more positive side, we found a replacement, thanks to my awesome family. My sister now gets to come with us, which makes me a happy person. I know we're gonna have a great time because I'll be around people who are my real friends, and who I am able to have a great time around. I'll sell stuff in the Artist Alley for the first time, get a my first photo shoot with a legit photographer, and maybe even enter my first contest. My ninth convention, Anime Matsuri 2011, here I come!!!

Love,
