Stumptown--s2m's report!

I must say, Stumptown was quite interesting. ^^ It was incredibly fun and fascinating! I'm so glad I went, and I was even a good girl and 1. didn't overspend and 2. didn't overeat. WOOT!! Best of all, Shoujo Editor 2 was there to hawk her original stuff, along with her SanFran friends, only one of which I've met previously. I went to dinner and an after-party with them on Saturday night and had a blast. :D

Those of you who know anime cons will understand when I say the main feature here was the single artists' alley ballroom. No dealer's room or viewing rooms, just three much smaller rooms for panels, and the massively big artist's alley. I'm so used to huuuuge anime cons with the Dealers Room from Hell and 15 anime viewing rooms and10 panel rooms and a small artists' alley stuck in the back room that only lasts for 6 or 7 hours before they kick it out to make room for Cosplay overflow. :P  It was nice to see the artists in the limelight, instead of the wares and goodies.

On a side note, examining all those tables' wares really drove some comics versus manga points home. I hope to write a huge blog comparison about the art and design of the two in the near future.

So there you go, my Stumptown experience. If any of you read the whole thing, I will be very impressed. :D
