The first convention of 2011 has been conquered!
Aaron Ford and I drove down to Chatanooga Tennesse last Friday, and set-up in the artist alley for the weekend. Originally the two of us were sharing one 6 foot table, but I snagged an open table from an author who didn’t show by mid-Saturday, and after that we both had ample room to sell our comics and merchandise. For us being first timers at Con Nooga, I think we did fairly well in the Artist Alley over the weekend. The con was more of cosplay-anime-party with your friends sort of deal than a comic convention, but we still had a good time meeting people and basking in all the weirdness that was going on around us. And the drive between Nashville and Chatnooga was gorgeous forest mountain scenery( a novelty for us plains dwellers). Check out the link below to see my Con Nooga cosplay pictures!
