GeekGirlCon 2019 wrap-up post

So, GeekGirlCon was yesterday and today, and for once I vended at it, having been put on the waitlist every time I’d applied for the last few years.

I already have quite a few thoughts about how things went and how they could have gone better for me, and my thoughts about my future as a potential convention vendor. Which is to say, I probably won’t be doing this again – but not because of anything wrong with GeekGirlCon. (Just to get that out of the way.)

Note that this isn’t my first time tabling at GGC, as I had previously done so with the Seattle Indies in 2017. But that was a completely different setup for a completely different intention – promoting games and the Indies organization.

Upcoming shows!

I will be tabling at two upcoming shows in the Pacific Northwest area:

  1. On October 20, I’ll be showing CATcher at the Portland Indie Game Squad “indie arcade” booth at Retro Gaming Expo, alongside a bunch of other indie games. Come check us out at table 3500 in the arcade (right by the concessions)!
  2. On November 16 and 17 I’ll be running my own vendor table at GeekGirlCon, where I’ll be selling comics, pins, prints, and possibly some other stuff. I’ll be at table 101, right in the corner nearest the escalators; see this handy map!

🔏 I got into GeekGirlCon!

Yay! This is the first year I’ve made it into GeekGirlCon as a solo vendor (last time was part of the Seattle Indies megabooth which ended up being a one-time thing for Reasons). I’ll be primarily selling my comics, but I’ll also have some of my albums present (as both CDs and download cards) and I’m looking into getting some enamel pins and art prints made as well.

For pins I’ll just be starting simple with three designs: transgender heart, asexual heart, and Werner’s head. For art prints I’m not sure what to make; I have a bunch of my own designs I could do, and I should also probably polish up some fanart since that generally is what attracts people to a booth in the first place.

I also have plenty of copies of Unity (books 1 and 2) but I guess I should print up more copies of Lewi since I have only like 20 of those.
