 +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!!

 +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.
