Well, that’s it. If you weren’t there, you missed your chance to be the Coolest Bean At The Thing, with a badge.
Besides badges, Itch was on hand to sell Leek and Sushi, Amaranth and Final Blossom, as well as some original art by Karen Rubins. We did very well, so well I sold out of Leek and Sushis. Sorry to anyone disappointed, please consider picking one up from the web-shop.
It could just be me, but I would say this was the best Thing yet, with regards to the quality and variety of stuff on sale. I met many new faces with cool things, but many don’t seem to have websites for me to point to. Come on, you guys! It’s the 21st Century, you don’t exist if you don’t have a website!
Exception: Moogs Kewell, who sold stickers, jewellery and cute little things. I wanted to eat her stuff, check out her etsy site if you’re into cute.
There was some talkin’ and dealin’ with regards to future Itch publications in the dark alleys outside the event, and although I don’t want to go into details, I feel confident in telling you Itch will continue to bring you the best in home-grown manga and comics in the months to come.
My attempts to take photos once again failed miserably. Luckily, the ever-reliable Zip Gun Comics guys have photos. The only sharp photo I managed to take all weekend was a photo of our Cool Bean-creating badges. Some of them were hand-drawn by me and Kaz, and some featured tiny little naked people. Because nudity is always funny.
