Exactly, online shop smooths out the dips. I never got into Anime Boston despite trying over and over, and that was a decade ago when it was (slightly) less brutal. But I still did plenty of B/C-list cons. I just don’t think people can really survive on this as a day job without that one A-list con.

Like, I would not have been able to survive on that doing one or two shows a month. Especially with all the turnover! My online shop always had steady traffic but it could never compete with a really big show (and I rarely got into those, they were like lottery tickets)

I did conventions for years during β€œthe busy season” (AKA not the winter) and I would peg my gross margin at something like 30%. But that usually meant walking out of a show netting $800-1000 for three days after all the expenses (inventory, food, travel, etc) and the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze

This is the model of the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo. It’s one of my favorite shows. But it can exist alongside other cons, I think. I’m sure there’s more like it out there!

Whoops, I missed my chance to make the β€œ640% should be enough for everybody” joke. But it’s obviously not enough because the PicoIDE campaign keeps going. 6 days left! I’m blown away by how far it’s come. BTW the last update I posted brought even more people with weird systems out of the woodwork!

The Trigun Stargaze OP is such a downgrade. But Millie is back, so I’ll take the trade.

I dunno why I slept on Trigun Stampede. Watching it now (to catch up for Stargaze) and it’s pretty damn good.

Type-Right II typing tutor. Weird find but it makes sense as a classroom tool I suppose.

if tailoring is on the table there’s always buy two and swap the hoods

and hopefully don’t pull a β€œHomer, you’ve ruined a perfectly good hoodie.” β€œIncorrect, Margeβ€”TWO perfectly good hoodies!”

I’m willing to settle for a long-sleeve to get tailored, but even that is hard

That’s looking like what I’d have to do, but even then I’m having trouble finding something to get to that point

Nagumo Midori

I’m trying to find a Nagumo hoodie and the specific combination of features seems to elude me:

Sky blue zip-up hoodie with short sleeves, white hood, and white pocket liner. I’ve found a long sleeve one that looks pretty close, or ones that don’t have a contrasting hood, or a pullover. Help!

Wonder if the market’s come down a bit, the last time I was seriously looking everyone was asking $1100 body-only and examples with paperwork/box were in the $1300 range
