plotting . . .

Whoever's in charge of artists' alley for NYAF looked at my group's stuff, decided we were too professional, and has stuck us in the dealer's room.

I am Jack's overwhelming sense of terror.

NYAF has about fifteen thousand attendees. That's more than five times Tekko's numbers. And since we're gonna be there as dealers instead of just artisans, we get to sell whatever we damned well please.

I am Jack's cutthroat retail plotting. Ebay and Fire Mountain, look out!

Y'know, I have this nasty habit of being a glutton for punishment. A coworker and I started talking today about Ren faires, Pennsic, and how we should make it to both (word has it Zoe Jakes is gonna be at Pennsic, any any seminars done by her would automatically make the entry price worth it) the fact that I firmly believe she's my long-lost sister is beside the point and long story short, we decided that we needed a Ren faire/Scadian war/Vaudeville carnival/uber-bellydance-collective/fairy party, and that we needed it done (and promoted) right. Which means we would have to do it ourselves.

And frighteningly enough, this might be something we could get off the ground. We each have enough people and enough contacts to pull off something at least amusing if not grand & terrifying. Ideas are still in the hatching stages right now . . . So help hatch! If you were going to a gigantic bizarre bazaar/brouhaha, what would you like to see? Camels? Giant puppets? Fire breathers? Dance/drumming/zill seminars? Bonfires with crazy dancing hippies? Scadians making war on the fairies? Let me know--next year may see it happen!

Alpha on a ch2 for Field Research, if anyone's got time.
