Anime North 2007
Today I was happy.
Even though truthfully much of what I did was just stand around shilin’s table and watch people come and buy her stuff, still felt rather happy about finding a spot where I can stay. I tried to stand inside the booth and help her get stuff, but everytime I think the staff isn’t going to check, I get kicked out for not having a badge. I’m just so very good at jinxing myself xD I wandered around by myself for a bit in the artist alley and the dealer’s room and found my favourite voodoo dolls. Too bad they cost so much I didn’t want to buy them :( I really want one for my cellphone though. I also saw tsubasa mangas for 11 dollars each, but I think I’m just going to get the complete set in china or something. I saw Kaze-hime and poli-chan from DA… very different from how I imagined them. Holly was too busy glomping shilin to notice me xD but that’s okee. Someone realized who I am and asked me for an autograph, I was flattered hehe. Probably just riding off shilin’s popularity though lol.
The the guy sharing a table with Shilin didn’t sell much stuff. This makes me rethink about sharing a table with her next year. Maybe I will feel very defeated if I constantly compare myself with her and I know I won’t sell as much. Need to learn to be easily satisfied. :)
I cosplayed as my original character, except nobody knows about her so nobody knew who I dressed up as. Two people that I lined up with spent an hour trying to guess who i was but was too embarrassed to ask. Some random guy told me I looked like his original character so I was like o.o I’m dressing up as my own chara? But he ended up giving me a free print for dressing up so I was like yay xD I also raided shilin’s prints, thiefing a copy each hahaha. I saw a lot of really nice costumes, making me want to make my own next year so it actually fits me x) I like Lolita dress and/or flowing dresses. Gotta learn how to sew. :( If Shilin dresses up as RO then I might do Sohee. I ♥ Sohee *o*
Maybe I will upload some photos later.

he would’ve done better if he wasn’t sharing with me (and just table by himself). I don’t want to lower your sales, but I did promise to table with you. Something I noticed was that people were into the things that he has that i dont have, like that brilliant Gai Sensei picture. Maybe we can prepare contrasting types of merchandise and images so we can be together with a spectrum of variety for ppl to look at rather than putting ourselves in constant competition with each other.
if we do share, we should both get a half space so we can both stay rofl

if we both stay then who’s gonna be our imaginary crowd? :( I don’t have the kind of attraction for population like you do xD
I was thinking we can mush our stuff together so people can’t tell whose products they are but I doubt you’d like that. Also have some marketing ideas but.. they are pretty lame o.o
eh, gotta draw first of all.
