The Joy of Conventions

Ohayō everyone! I apologize for the lack of blogging; studying and work take up most of my day. Unfortunately, We haven't been able to meet up with most of the Georgia members, but this past weekend We decided on the cons that we will attend to definitely advertise AiNi. I'm really excited about all of the planning that We (Hima-san and I) managed to accomplish in the last couple of days. There's a post-Christmas meet up happening December 27-28. I'll get back everyone on the times and location of the hotel that We'll book. We also hope to have a mini photoshoot so that we can start designing the website.

Here's the list of the conventions (in chronological order):
Momocon (Atlanta, GA)
A-kon (Dallas, TX)
JAMPcon (Chattanooga, TN)
AWA XV (Atlanta, GA)
Kawacon (Augusta, GA)
I've linked each of the headings below to their respective sites.

MomoCon: This con is located at Georgia Tech's Student Center. It's a free con, so We're gonna use this con as a trial advertising run. By this time, we should have business cards and samples of the items we plan on creating. We're gonna get a table in the Artist's Alley, and we hope to have at least ten mini tops hats, ten diferent nail sets, ten Japanese fashion headbands, and other small items. We really need everyone in the area to be at this con, and considering that it's free, this a great opprotunity to get the world out.

A-kon: This is gonna be the biggest con that We'll attend next year , and We hope that we can meet up with some of the out of state members. By this time, the website should be up and running. We'll use the same advertising stragedy as MomoCon, but we don't plan on making the jump to a table in the dealer's room.

JAMPcon: This con is really close to us Georgia people, and We thought it would be a good idea to attend a con that is relatively North of the cons that most of us have attended. We plan on doing much of the same advertising, but with more actual products.

AWA
: Without a doubt, this will be the most important con that We go to. We actually hope to get a table in the Dealer's Room at this one, and we plan on having enough products to make a confortable profit.

Kawa-Con: This is a brand new con being formed in Our homebase of Augusta. We definitely plan on having a table in the dealer's room, and We hope by this time, the props portion of the busindess will be up and running.

Next year will be busy, no?
