I'm home from Chambanacon.  The tired is dripping to the floor from my smoking, charred carcass, but I'll try to get a report out here.

( long-winded report in here )

Next year's con is still a lot of question marks, but we do intend to have a Chambanacon, and it will be Thanksgiving weekend, so do plan on saving the weekend.  We hope we can have it at the Lincoln again -- everyone I heard offering an opinion thought it was great.  The con was fun, but we need to bring a few more people in to make it financially viable.

I have the art I will show ready for the con.  Three new pieces, out of the manymany waiting in the queue for me to convert them from image files off the camera into something I'll take money for.  Mostly framed like I have always done, but one piece is matted.  I bought a pre-cut mat, and I have some foam core lying around from another project I never did.  Cutting the foam core to size was much more of a pain than it should have been, and now I have to deal with the fact that my art bag holds 8.5x11 pieces just fine, but this mat is 11x14.

I will have EFRC calendars.  I can't imagine I would be able to sell 17 of them without being obnoxious about it, which is not my plan, but if you want one and you're the least bit worried, yell here or ask me early in the con.  (I can always get more next weekend or later, so if you want one but you or your agent won't be at Windy, don't panic.)

If anyone wants to join me for dinner Friday, or even Saturday, I'll be delighted, but I'm planning to arrive soon enough to get a parking space, and I'm not moving my car until Sunday.  So any dinner plans must be within walking distance of the hotel or involve Somebody Else's Vehicle.  Saturday, I'll end up at the pizza party by default; Friday, I have no plan.
