Animazement 2017 is Over (And I'm Sad)

What a great con! I've been attending AZ for many years now, and this year it was really hopping. This was also my first year as a dealer - and my first year as a panelist! I met some lovely people, saw some amazing cosplay, and in general had a fantastic time.

Shoutouts to my fellow authors - Shira Anthony, Grace Duncan, and Brynn Stein - and to fellow dealers - especially our uber-friendly neighbors who kept us awake and in good spirits. Also, big thank-you to all the Adventure Zone cosplayers who put up with me asking for pictures and all but chasing down some of them! Finally, thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth, especially those of you who took a few minutes to chat with us. I can't tell you how thrilled I was to meet you!

Cheers,
Aishlar


Some observations:

• Mac n' cheese from Concessions in the Dealer's Room is not half bad, especially at 10 in the morning

• Maui Wowi makes some delicious coffee (and the line is shorter than Starbucks)

• Wearing comfortable shoes ups the fun factor of walking the con by uh, about 100%

• Get a hotel room. Get. A. Hotel. Room.

• FM 95.3 has some great rock music and realllly helped me get through the drive there and back

• Funimation Peep Show was totally worth going to and a lot of laughs
