Are you planning on opening a physical shop / location? If you are, more power to ya. I wouldn't want a physical shop, but that may change I don't know... It's more of like one of those we'll see things... (btw sent you a pm)

I think the only reason I've been able to attend shows like this is because I've been striving for at least 2 years now. I know some people may not see it as a "profit maker", but I'll prove them wrong. Actually... I already have, I have made some serious profits this year from at least 3-4 conventions, but they're big name ones.

I haven't attended AWA yet. I may go next year, depending how hard it is to get into the show. I'd like to combine efforts with a fellow artist, but I could go on about this for hours. It seems like you're hyped to be part of it, but time will tell. :)

You see... next year (and don't be jealous) I'll be attending 25+ cons for artist alley. I usually end up giving my spare pass away to a friend who desperately needs it, or my father who may attend a show with me in Miami, but that's about it. Perhaps (and it's a big perhaps) is maybe one day we'll be con buddies and share a table. Keep in mind, I'm still redefining my technique and there's no rush getting a partner-in-crime.

When's the last time you attended artist alley? And for the record, I have my own gear I like to wear to conventions, but that just includes a 3 ft. tail and paws.
