IkkiCon, Day 1

[lillian13]

Well, after the clusterfuck that was yesterday, today was much easier.

Got to the hotel, got all my boxes (eventually). I was setting up and the New Dealer's Room Guy* came by and said he'd worked out a deal with the hotel to get us electricity for $40. Much glee was had by all!

The room finally opened at about 2:30...sales were kind of slow, but the amusement value of the crowd was very high:

One woman runs up to another one in front of my booth: "Quick! Give me my ID!" "Why?"  "So I can buy some porn!"

A couple of guys in a booth across from me kept dancing to J-pop. (They were wearing those goofy knit hats with the cat eyes on them.)

The World's Best Niece is home sick with strep, so it's just me. alycorn came by, which was nice.

*The Old Dealer's Room Guy had a heart attack. And didn't tell anybody on the committee. I've heard of guys not talking about their health, but honestly!

Back in tomorrow. More sales, hopefully.
