Back from AWA!!! whoo-hooooooooo!!!
This past AWA officially marks my first real venture not only into artist's alley, but the art show as well. It was definitly a success not only in people picking up prints, but it was great just to sit and relax, meet and talk to people about anything! With that said, I must make a few thank yous/shout-outs:
To

for setting up the hotel room, being a first class navigator, and of course made THE BEST Sora lion EVER! You win forever mew!
To Julie (my ju-ju-bee! <3) For always being a great laugh (pantsless Potter, Mars Attacks, elevator funtime, etc.), my uke partner-in-crime, and DOUGHNUTS!!! XD I don't think I would have had as much fun if you weren't there for comic relief! XD
To Jeff for being some extra muscle and carrying my art crap around, helping me cut up stickers, and watching the table when I ran away! Your help was greatly appreciated!
To

for being the bestest table partner a girl could ever ask for, for your encouragement, for the art partying, and as always being the best friend. Though I'm still upset we don't hang out nearly as much as we do anymore *hint hint*

And of course watching the table while I disappeared! XD
To

. Man... there's just so much to thank you for. For all the nights you spend encouraging me to bust my ass on what I love, the insane convos, for watching my crap while I tried to get stuff before I open or closed my table, and of course, all the boobs you left me everywhere (i.e. my sketchbook and the DA list

).
To



for all the silliness! It makes me miss all the good times we had when we were all at SCAD. Hopefully I'll be in the area beginning of next year so I can hang out with you guys more. I miss you all! ;_;
To

for all your support, hillarious commentary, and a wonderful lunch! I'm still so very sorry about what happened to your car. I know you've had a stressfull week prior to AWA, but you stuck it out like a soldier and stayed strong despite everything. You are a wonderful person who doesn't deserve all that crap! *hugs!!*
To

OMG! Thank you so much for the adorable Danny picture you drew me! That was very sweet of you! And I actually like his costume better with the black "D"! I'm glad you got to make it to the con at least for one day! XD
To

and

two lovely ladies who visited me often and were both very friendly and adorable! You two were a rockin Xigbar and Demyx! I read those nasty comments those people made on your photos. Don't pay any of them one bit of attention. Don't even reply to them because that's exactly what they want you to do. Screw them! I think you two are awesome! XD
To

and

two more lovely ladies who visted me often as well as gave an excellant dancing performance! Thanks guys! XD
And of course EVERYONE who came by the table! Whether you just chatted with me for a bit, bought prints/stickers, took the time to look at my artwork, commissioned me to do artwork, or even just walking by to say "hi". You all are awesome in my book! To those who signed in on the DA sheet. Yes, I will be visitng every single one of you! No worries there! XD
