spending the days in the dealer room all 4 days , most of the vendors were quite disappointed for even though there were people not much sales seemed to be made. Most blame the fact that San Diego Comic con moved up 2 weeks to this week (normally the 3rd week in July) when you take into account hotels, travel and such it is hard to make funds stretch.

^ I think the general consensus among buyers is that they'll get a better deal online. That seems to be what I largely overheard, things like "I bet I can find this for cheaper on Amazon or E-bay". Some of the corporate sellers try to combat this idea by offering bonus items, which may not be feasible for smaller sellers. Speaking just for myself, of the three non-artwork purchases I made in the exhibit hall this year, all three were from the Viz Media booth and all three were made solely because I wanted the bonus Sailor Moon canvas bag they offered for free with every purchase.

JD, with AX crossed off my list, I plan on hitting another Midwest or Eastern convention next year. Which, I guess, means you're stuck with me :vict

YAY!

I don't want to jinx it but I might be game for Sakuracon next year, I have a tentative okay from the fam!

But in the meantime Otakon is in two weeks and the schedule will be out a week from today hopefully the panel will not conflict with anything! *bites nails*

Hey JWR and JD, looks like it's about a 75% chance I'll be at Sakura as well. Haven't been in about 5 years, and it's one I enjoy. Also have a friend who moved out there, and some customers I can visit, so a lot of reasons to make the trip. Hopefully we can have some good AB representation out there. :)
