Of course, to be successful, you need to prepare, and Mechacon 2015 left me low on stock. Last year, I made about $900 at Kamicon, and given the success of shows like MTAC and Mechacon, I had high hopes that I had a formula for success, and hoped to break $1k at Kami.
It was a great weekend- lots of sales, plenty of commissions, and entertaining people to chat with, so when Alex Hoffman asked if I'd return, I started making plans to book a table.
Last year, Heidi Black and I made the trip down to Birmingham, AL, for our first Kamicon. With the launch of my Patreon, I made releasing more convention recaps an incentive to back, so if you would like me to continue to write convention recaps, and would enjoy merchandise tutorials, please consider becoming a backer. I still feel they're extremely important,and I want to encourage other tabling creators to take the time to do so, but I also feel like they don't necessarily benefit me, or the work I do, as much as I would like. Last year, I burned myself out writing convention recaps.
