So, another DragonCon is under the bridge. This year we helped out our pals from Florida, Echo and Lazarus Chernik. They drive a big ole RV to cons all summer and you just can’t park that thing in downtown Atlanta, so they parked it here at Casa Mizgala and we shuttled the booth + art back and forth in the Ranger.
We put on an art reception for Echo on Saturday night at the Courtyard Marriott that is tucked away next to the Westin on Carnegie St. The room was perfect for an art reception and Echo was pleased with my quickie catering. It was VERY fun and VERY tiring! Echo debuted her exclusive DragonCon print at the reception and we intend to do that again next year. Hopefully it will be a DCon tradition!
Overall, I have to say that I really do prefer working cons to just attending/partying. You meet many more people that way.
Echo gave me a giclée print (Seafood, part of her 12 food pieces) for helping out with the reception and made me cry. It’s really too much!! But I adore it and can’t wait to get it hung. THANK YOU seems inadequate for such a lovely gift! We can’t wait to do it again next year – it will be AWESOME!
I got the house cleaned, groceries procured and the laundry caught up yesterday so today I’m futzing on the intertubes and generally just laying around. :)
Gotta get my thank-yous done, too. Ah, I love organising stuff. Maybe I’ll find a job doing it!
Had a wonderful time at the reception though my feet still hate me for making them go so far down the street and back..lol…
Tell Echo I’m sorry I didnt catch her down in the dealers room Sunday…got busy helping my suitemates tear down their weekend stuff after their pancake chowdown then it became time for my own booth…and as you prob saw from G+, that shift became prob the most interesting one I’ve ever worked…
Sorry if you guys came by Monday and missed me at the booth; I had to work a bit of the earlier shift to cover team members trying to get out of their rooms, so I was able to take a bit of a long break in the middle of my normal shift and I went around the Exhibitor’s Hall to look around..
