Ooookkaaayyy so what have we learned this weekend?

well, firstly, conventions are awesume fun (duh!) being able to jump up and down and squee like a lil kid with pocky and a big screen of explodey anime goodness certainly does help destress you quite a bit.
Secondly...plushies are awesome ^^ i gots me a mario 1-up mushroom from the replay stall which at this moment is sitting with my Gir plush hehe
Thirdly, there is one heck of alot of awesome female artists around the northern ireland/ ireland area.
I felt extremely outnumbered looking at all the art on the art contest walls and thought to myself "am i the only male artist here? "
Fourth, I officially suck at doing artist alleys =,=
I dunno what it is about me and talking to people about my work, ask me about the weather or what Ive been upto, thats fine, at least i can make the person smile or at least seem normal, but the second someone asks about my work Ive noticed that I cant seem to look up or give a full answer, its like brain meltdown
Although it was nice having sitting beside me, at least she had a bit of arty banter

Plus I got to meet some lovely people, meet old friends and generally have a good time which essentially is what shud be done at every con.
