The booth not the bay
Business first Floundering in the waves later.
OK, here is what I don’t like about Europe. THE SHIN BUSTERS!
The French like to put these like concrete marvels next to really interesting buildings. In this case the buildings columns were naked women and the burse on my shin is sizeable.
The first day of the show went pretty well considering none of our stuff arrived on time. Here, M tries to make the best of it. He figured that instead of artwork; some shades, a smoke and a surely attitude is the next best way to sell cartoons.
Actually our stuff arrived the morning of the first day so we really only looked foolish for the first two hours.
Second day of the show and things are going well. The booth is set up and that’s something isn’t it? Over there, on the left is the TV and DVD player we rented at the convention center. Here’s a future note don’t rent anything at the convention center. It cost us as much as if we wanted to bribe a minor government official. Still, we’d look foolish without one. After all we went to so much trouble making the DVD in the first place.
I’m amazed at the amount of work some of the booths go through. Some of the anime booths are built better than most houses. Disney put up their own convention center and wouldn’t let anyone in.
But our humble little booth is doing well. We’ve got some pretty nice fish on the line and I ran out of business cards. (The card swapping around here rivals a pokemon convention.) So… that’s something, isn’t it?
Right across the isle from us is a Chez group selling soft porn. Nothing really offensive just a couple lovely ladies discovering each others bits on a motorcycle, and later in front of a fountain. And there’s one woman who really gets into ballooning. Seriously she should be careful. I’m no balloonist but I’ll bet you’re not supposed to thrash around that much.
I think we would have done great if we were selling our show. The interest is pretty good. If we had the 26 ready right now we’d be on the air in Thailand, I’m sure of it.
By the way, when traveling to Europe stuff your suitcase with a lot of foreign currency. If you make it past customs you’re golden. Because credit card companies are useless.
