All righty! I'm back! It's been a pretty hectic schedule so I haven't had the chance to update this. On top of taking care of a few cons and things I promised to get done, I'm being transferred to another store some time in October. It'll be a new work environment with slightly bigger pay. That means I've got from today onward to a) get my driver license and b) get a car. Today, I went car window-shopping with my dad. O_O I've yet to find 'the one' but feel a bit closer to my goal.

Gaaah, getting a car is so scary. Yet, it's necessary. Half of my problems/challenges comes from my lack of a transportation. Whether it's carpooling with someone for a con, or hitching a ride with my dad to Office Max, not having a car sucks balls. In fact, part of the reason why I don't have online store is because going to my local post office requires me to carpool with someone, on a day both he and me are off. Thank god my grocery store is only a block away! I'd have starved by now. Anyway, I'm hoping to drive within the next month. Yaaaaay.

San Japan was great, btw! I got to hang out with my cool art friends and make a few trades. The con, itself, was in a new location so it took a bit getting used to. LOL, staring at the garage doors was super fun. I'm happy SJ is thinking bigger each year. About the only recommendation I'd make for it is to combine the Dealer's Room with the Artist Alley. The Artist Alley room was TOO huge that it looked empty, despite attendance. That aside, I thought SJ was good. In fact, I want to thank everyone who came and support the arts. I hope more people learn about SJ and that it continues drawing a bigger crowd. According to the numbers, it was above 9,000+ attendance.
