Momocon 2018

The drive down to Momocon was awful just because of how tired Michael and I were. Momocon is a four day con during the same time as Animazement. My embroidery machine gave out during con prep. This was also the first con where I was living full time with Michael, so there was no need to travel to him. Leading up to this con was extremely stressful at work as the transfer to a new store had been awful just awful. I used to love working for gamestop, well I learned why a lot of people hate the place. This was my last con I did while employed with them. That's drama for another time. Despite all of this, I did my best to prep for this convention!

The convention center was extremely confusing, so we ended up getting set up super late. As such, I couldn't take good booth photos in the very beginning, so have a gallery of my attempts!
Despite how this may look, this was not a good con for us and I wish we had done AZ instead. We turned a profit, but not as much as we would have. As it turns out, there are a lot of deadzones in the artist alley so only certain spots get good traffic despite the size of the con. Also the artist alley is past the game room, past the dealer's room, past the autograph line, and right next to the car show. Dealers was insane as far as traffic, artist alley not so much. They're changing locations for 2020, so I can't say if this will hurt or help, but right now, I cant justify doing Momocon.
This was the con where I discovered the benefit of the mystery bag. After having trouble moving certain products, I went to walmart Saturday night and bought a bunch of brown lunch sacks and drew on them and put a plush, a button, and something else in each bag and they sold like hot cakes. Honestly, that's the only way we made profit at that con. Mystery bags have been a staple for me at every con since then.
