nj zine fest!

well the fest happened and it didn't. i mean like, it happened and we went and set up our table and all, but the turnout was terrible! and the people shopping there were obviously there for zines and not purses or yarn really, so the sales that we made on actual items were few and far between. both jessica and i made only about $60. it was funny because i got home and saw that i'd made two sales on etsy and i was like wow, i made more money by not being here than going to that fest.

but it was more valuable for the cool people i met, for real. i found out about it from this girl christine on getcrafty and i met her and she was just awesome!! it was so neat to meet her in person. we're making secret plans to get a NJ craft show rockin. oh and this other girl runs an art shop with some  guy and they're both interested in carrying jessica's and my work. awesome!

jessica's zine was hilarious and not very many people were interested:


and then here's a picture of our table (jessica's taking it):

so you know, it was worth it. was there anything else i had to tell you? i don't think so. i'm $200 into the drum carder fund after this weekend, so hopefully in another few weeks or so i will be ordering it and it will be here in my hot little hands. now it's time to have a nosh and watch much ado about nothing, which i'm wholly uninterested in but there will be much discussion about on wednesday. ahhh shakespeare at 8am.

oh there was something else to tell you. i almost broke all of my furniture today because i was trying to make an animated gif and it took like 5 hours. i was just downloading things and none of them would save, or they would save with a watermark, or they were virus programs, and it was really just amazing and fun. so yeah! yup. goodnite.
