Connecticon '09
So... here's a one month old post, back from when we went to Connecticon. Since it took place so long ago, so many shots ago, this is going to be primarily a picture post (not that anyone reads this for the writing). Maybe it was a bad idea to put me in charge of these con updates D:
Connecticon on Friday was rough. Red, Green, Purple and I pretty much left Virginia at midnight and arrived in time to set up our table in the morning. My first priority was to find the bathroom while they found the table and started setting up. Whilst paying my alms to the porcelain god, I received a phone call:
Work, monkies, work!
Finished product!
Purple, sleeping under the table. We do this a lot...
One of the coolest parts of Connecticon is the artists' party. Inyx, the artist who organizes the whole dealy invited us to a party for "networking". We were hesitant, but we were told there would be pizza and drinks. Sold. Good marketing; artists tend to be starving.
She's blurry, but that's inky-tea in the middle of that first picture! *waves*
Inyx set up some posters for all the artists to draw on.
When the pizza arrived, Red and Green opted to draw on the boxes :D
We were also pleasantly surprised that "pizza and drinks" really meant "pizza and drinks"
Me with Inyx, the organizer of this awesome party
As we stumble back from the party, we bump into Sandeep Parikh (better known as Zaboo, from the webseries "The Guild"), Rahiru (who posted a video of RGB acting... not so heroic... on the forum), and Kilika (longtime friend of RGB. I was told I accidentally punched him in the face. Sorry!)

"Uhhh, Blue, you need to hurry up..."
"What? Why?"
"We just realized... none of us know how to set the pvc up."
*silent laughter*
Work, monkies, work!

Of course, there were a bunch of fun cosplays
Connecticon is big on steampunk <3

And believe it or not, we actually did manage to get some work done while we were there:
By "we" I obviously mean Red and Green. This is also the first con we started selling buttons!
Sadly, we lost our portfolio (and all contained prints) in Connecticut...
but... Connecticut didn't arrest us for drunk in public (even though we gave it three REALLY good chances to)...
So I guess we're even.
