A Note for readers
This list is made mainly for my reference and scheduling purposes. Frequent changes WILL occur. I have listed several conventions that have time conflicts, and as obvious I cannot be in two places at once.
And all this hinges upon me not finding a good forestry job in some other state (turns out I'm going to Alaska Mid March through November). Booths I've already paid for are in green.
I am seeking reliable, enthusiastic, and trustworthy individuals to assist me with running a booth at any of the above conventions! If you are interested in a free ticket to the convention in return for assisting with my booth please contact me!
....Wait... What's the assistant do anyway???
Step 1. When we arrive: move boxes/bags/stuff from SUV to booth location.
Step 2. Unpack the stuff from boxes / Set-up on table.
Step 3. Sit in chairs, watch the entire con parade in front of you, speak enthusiastically about their cosplay, backpack, shoes, or hair and get them to buy things. The product practically sells itself, just find out their favorite characters/movies and show them what's available! You actually meet more people at cons this way :)
Step 4. Take a break, go explore the convention, dealer room, tournies, pannels, actors signatures, etc.
Step 5. Return to booth with armloads of treasures and tired feet to sit and watch them parade more as you assess your new-found bounty!
Step 6. At the end of the day pack up/take expensive stuff, cover rest with sheet. Return to hotel or go to RAVE until tomorrow!
It's my experience that it's about 3 times as fun to go to a con if you have a booth to use as a home-base. Makes meeting up with others super easy too.
