Prepping for the Con Cycle

For the past few years, Heather and I have been setting up and displaying our art at various shows, conventions, and vendor fairs.  Some shows have been more successful than others (based on sales, price per table, etc.), but all of them have been pretty fun.  In fact, we have met some pretty amazing people along the way (and not just the celebrity guests).
