Oh Boise! Almost Ready to Go

The last few days have been hectic, but we are almost ready to head to Anime Oasis. I'm nervous, but really excited; I just hope people are happy with all the stuff we are selling, and that Elicia can get all her cosplay stuff done in time. We still have a lot to do, but the end is definitely in sight.

:: Merch ::

Getting the stuff for Artist Alley has been an ordeal. Somehow our business cards got misplaced, between my house and Elicia's. So I get to cut 300 new cards over the next two days! Meh. But it is probably for the best; because of this I got to put "Swirly Fish Cake" on some of the cards. Also, we are doing buttons, and the place making them for us can only do 2.5". We were planning to recycle old cards into buttons, but they are definitely too small fot that. So all's well that ends well, I suppose. The plushies are looking fab; we have wastd a whole bunch of transfer paper in the process, but it is totally worth it. And honestly, if we at least make back our costs, it will all be worth it. And as a bonus, I wasn't lazy and actually printed new posters of the AB's I have done since the last con! So Roxas, Kanda, Yuki and Kyo are now bright shiny new posters.

Also, the t-shirts and button we ordered from our CafePress site came today! So we have lots of our online merch to wear and show off. It looks so good, I cannot get over how great they turned out.

Here is a list of merch we will be selling at our booth:
:: AngstyBishy Posters
:: AngstyBishy Plushies
:: AngstyBishy & L Lives Buttons

:: Cosplay ::

Wow, has Elicia ever been busy. She has made a Sanzo costume from scratch, with props assisted by Meliss; pulled or bought clothes for Mello and got a wig styled by our hairdresser; made or modified costume pieces for others; and made from scratch and found a wig for her super-secret cosplay. (This in addition to sewing and ironing all our plushies.) But I think her costumes will be fab. now to find a place to put them all in my car. . .

:: Skit ::

Elicia and Meliss are also prepping a skit for Adult Cosplay. It's looking good; I will actually attend just to see them.

So that's the rundown of our pre-con activities. Now I just have to helpe Elicia finish the merch and costumes, clean out my trunk, pack my bags, check my tire's air pressure, and I will be set. I have work off tomorow, thankfully.

If anyone reading this makes it to Oasis, give us a shout out in the comments! I'd love to hear from you and know what you thought about our merch, Elicia's cosplay, etc. See ya there!
