I didn’t quite make back the table fee, which was a disappointment. Even if I had, the parking fee (while reasonable for four days) would have been a bridge too far, as it were. I don’t think I’m really able to justify total convention fees above a hundred bucks at the moment*.
On the bright side: Galactic Con is in two weeks, and I’m pretty sure I can hustle enough to pay for the table. After that? We’ll see. Retail’s tougher than it looks.

*It’s a shame, though. I did sell a bunch of TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION. People seemed receptive to the idea of ‘buy this book of short stories to see whether you like the concept,’ especially at a ten buck price point. I’m going to work with that in the future. I’m also going to have links to the artists’ websites on the table, which I should have been doing all along.

All respect both for our host and child labor laws, this is why most retail workers are younger people.
I encourage you to recruit one to your cause. Retail charm consumes a ridiculous amount of energy, and kids have that in spades.
