Alright, computer is back to happy state with all data recovered and everything running about as smooth as it was before. Just been doing a lot of crap lately. Had a capoeira demonstration over the weekend (will have pictures later), another one yesterday, been working on my message board (which is up and running at
http://rpnet.lemontoast.com), and getting ready for a mess of conventions coming up.
First of all is
Dubs Along the Rockies which is the biggest Volkswagen convention in Colorado. I'm making a pile of vinyl stickers to take along, that's tomorrow.
Then we have
Opus Fantasy Arts which is coming up the weekend after. I've got registration tickets and hotel reserved so it'll be smooth sailing. Costuming fun, shopping, gaming, dancing, partying, and sleepless nights to be sure.
Weekend after that is
Fanime in San Jose. This is my big market research trip. This is what I find is really selling at anime cons and what isn't sold at all and keep it all in mind when I start going gangbusters on this business of mine. Here's hoping.
June 17th - 19th is
Kunicon in Denver. Fairly decent-sized anime/video game/martial arts expo that I'm going to be having my first booth at. This is where the Fanime trip pays off. I should be going with a whole bunch of Fish stuff and about $1500 worth of my own inventory. Rock!
So that's about it. I'm busy busy busy and actually having a fair amount of fun doing it.
