The convention was a great success! I made people cry (in a good way, I hope) at the Broad Universe reading, got very encouraging feedback on the openings I read for the ORCs, and excellent feedback on the Mayhem opening for the writer's workshop. My DH sold lots of books. I got a free signed copy of a book from a very nice pro. As far as I know, I didn't make a fool of myself at any of the panels I was on. And I learned tons, including how to properly do the Five Tibetans straight from Steve Barnes. This will come in handy when I beta-test a life improvement system for him.
So not-selling any art this year didn't sting. It would have been nice to sell something, but I didn't feel like I wasted my time or art show space. An extra perk--people said nice things about my work, and one of them was an unsolicited remark from artist Alan Clark. I admire the heck out that guy, so it encouraged me that I may be heading in a good direction.
That's all I have for now. I have a pillow to hit.

Did the weekend eat the moon, or did the moon eat the weekend?
Well, congrats on a satisfying convention, anyway!
I had a terrific convention, and loved your story at the Broad Universe reading. Sold a bunch of books! That's great!
Thank you, Kai! Let's hope for another fab convention next year.
Thanks to you too, Kevin! I had a great time. Good point re: who's eating who ... Heh
