Whew, that's done!

[lillian13]

I'm now home and mostly unloaded from the show. I still need to unload everything that goes back into my storage unit but that can wait until tomorrow.

My lovely and wonderful nephew came out this afternoon and helped me tear down and both load and unload the car. (I do wonder about him sometimes--he bought three cans of canned haggis because he thought it tasted awesome. o_O ) He's always a huge help, since he's assisted me many times and knows where everything goes. Being a tall, strong 20-year-old is also a huge help!

Sales were verging on excellent. I'm really going to have to push to get enough stock done for the Wheatsville show in a month. Such a terrible problem to have!

It was pretty windy today, but it died down at dusk, giving me the chance to wipe everything down with a microfiber cloth. Man, everything was crazy dirty. Someone "helpfully" threw away the boxes I was keeping my pole lights in--they weren't that bad, really!--so now I need to acquire another small bin for them. My nails are all torn up, I have a cut on the end of my right pointer finger, and my face is sunburned. Such are the travails of working at an outdoor show. :-)

But dinner has arrived, The Walking Dead is on the TV box, all my charges are called in, and I'm off tomorrow. Life is good.

Congratulations!

Your nephew sounds lovely, although his taste in food appears to be highly questionable. :D

[lillian13]

He will literally try anything. I asked him once if he'd ever eaten anything he really hated, and he said no. I keep telling him he'd make a great chef... (or food critic)

[tehomet]

Or test pilot... since he obviously has nerves of steel!

Yay for good show sales! I always like your work when you post piccies; I'm glad it's doing well. :-)

Also, I keep forgetting to ask, but I have you friended both here and on LJ, and I'm trying to reduce duplication. Are you stable enough here on DW that I can take you off my LJ flist? I don't want to lose track of you.

Yes, I finally figured out how to post pictures here, so I'll be posting here all of the time.

Any roommate plans for ComicCon next year?

[crimsonquills]

So many folks I know and want to hang out with are going to Comic Con that I don't know how rooms are going to work. The four of us who roomed together last year are all going again, but we couldn't even get a good back up room. We have one quite a distance from the convention centre, though it is still walkable. Just painful walkable.

I'm kind of hoping for a miracle--that we can either get two rooms in the same hotel through the Comic-Con system (vanishingly small possibility; it's hard enough to get one room) or get one room and then have a second in that hotel open up as people give up their back up rooms. I _really_ want to get more of my friends staying closer to me. :-)

BTW, I just removed you on the LJ side. :-)
