+**Expenses:** Table was $35 for half of a 6 ft table - meaning we got 3 ft.
 **Provided:** Half table, and two chairs.  Free parking.  Free cupcakes and coffee!
+Everyone was really nice, we did a couple of zine n sticker trades, and we got a surprising amount of fujo talk for a non-fujo-themed event 😄 shoutouts to the people who recognized the ai no kusabi print... And shoutouts to my bigass tomato that's finally turned red after a month.
+I'm kinda laffing that I did all pet doodles and 0 humans (or otherwise? Fursonas?! Fav characters? ), maybe next time I should have an example of a person out too :p or maybe people just love seeing their pets more than themselves!! Still tryna find the balance between displaying my live drawing vs trying to show off my comix!!!
+Thanks so much to all the super cool vendors with super cool art, and to the super cool staff for making sure we all had food and water and atmosphere 😄 and to the happy customers who chain-mailed each other into getting their pet drawn.
 =====Pros:=====
   * The staff were great.  They were going around looking at art, making sure we were OK, and refilling the water and food for everyone.
+  * The venue was cozy and fun, I loved the zines hanging from the ceiling.
   * Speaking of water... water dispensed from a cooler, with options for cold, warm, and hot.  It's great to just get up and get water for yourself!
-  * Cool artist culture, people trade and talk to each other, very supportive.  People brought their own tables and chairs to share with each other!

   * It's closer to us than Durham/Raleigh, 1 hr of travel vs 2 hours.
   * Mostly print material, rather than mass-manufactured stuff like charms and pins.  I like print material.
-  * Great inspiration for us to make a bunch of new zines!

 =====Would you go again?:=====
-Yes!  I would like to bring more small objects like free stickers and mini zines to use the half-table space much better.
+Yes, I would love to come back to GSO Zine Fest again, whenever we can, all the way from Charlotte :p
