We just participated in our first Con as a vendor - it was RAGECon in Reno. Table top gaming convention - anything on a board or with dice or cards was kind of the focus.
We've been to many Cons over the years and have always enjoyed them, but this was our first behind a table.
The wife makes nerd/geek themed crafts like cross-stitches, hats, scarves, buttons, dice bags, patterned zipper bags, etc. and I've encouraged her to start selling them on Etsy and now Cons. Everything from Harry Potter to Firefly to whatever...
We had a really successful con and made some pretty good sales - probably one of the more successful tables there. Made some new friends as well, and that's always great.
Just wanted to share, because it was such a good time! Nerds really do have the most fun and really don't care about what other people think. They dress up, play games, geek out and are so enthusiastic about the things they like. It was an inspirational and fun weekend and the best part was getting to spend so much time with the wife!
Share your con stories - have you been a vendor? What's the best part for you? Cosplay, meeting people, panels?
