A-Kon - Panic!

Journal Entry: Fri May 2, 2008, 4:59 AM
"Everything is going wrong exactly on schedule."

28 Days until A-Kon (www.a-kon.com).

28 Days to Panic.

It's almost like having a movie.

The great A-Kon screamfest has set in as I gear up, make stock and get ready to go to one of the biggest Anime Conventions and kick butt. I have a metric ton of stock, but there is more that needs to be completed:

- I have 25 yukata that need pleated and assembled (Augh! I hate the pleating!)
- Must print cards (looks up the local Kinkos in the Yellow pages)
- Price sheet needs to be completed (thank the gods for accounting software)
- Needs to print labels for the Invoices - Office Depot run!
- Purchase badges for my crew
- Create Price Tags for the items - (Bribe Jenn to do it)
- Buy the rest of the display - (This Sunday)
- Get banner printed - (This weekend)
- Create 100 more barrettes
- Create about 200 Phone Phobs
- Print out the Bookmarks
- Get Stephen to finish the Kittens

Fortunately, this is not my first A-Kon, so, although it's a bit overwhelming, I think that I will be able to finish everything. There is a lot of other stuff that goes into the set up part but most of that is ready to go. I have the Office - In - A - Box prepared, my mannequin looks good, I have the rack for the clothing, and the spinny thing for the hairsticks. Although I need more invoices, I have a bunch, and I have bags for all the stuff. So, all in all, not too bad.

You don't have to say thank you for the fav! I just loved the kimono and I didn't want to lose the chance of viewing it again, so i favourited it. Your work is fantastic and your details are exquisite. I'll be sure to have another look threw your gallery again soon.

Cutting. Sewing. Making stick things. Swearing. Cursing. Wondering how I can do that much damage to a clean room. Cutting. Sewing...

Lather, rinse, repeat.

I love this!
