Ikkicon 2015!!
So this was our first year at Ikkicon! The weather was cold and rainy at first, but fortunately the Austin Hilton Hotel was warm and toasty inside. There were a lot more con goers than we expected and the over all feeling was busy and comfortably crowded. The traffic was at just the right amount and we had fun talking to everyone. We, of course, got to see a few familiar faces but it was nice meeting new people in that area.
We had a good number of fun commissions to do in addition to the usual selling of prints and buttons. We also tried selling our acrylic keychains and found that people liked them.
We were able to enjoy our first bowls of ramen at Daruma Ramen on 6th street. The food was nice and the restaurant itself was small with a very warm and friendly atmosphere.
There’s a bit of interest in returning to Ikkicon for 2016, however, it’s going to be on New Year’s Day, so that’s a bit tricky for us to get off of work. Hopefully we can return again some time!
