we got a lot of great compliments for our sets, which is always nice we're talking of a) getting some real DJing equipment, so we don't run into the issues we had at 2640 with the sound equipment (i mean, it worked but... yikes. plugging a portable cd player into a mixer and then doing some neat wiring and cabling tricks to get sound into the second room just doesn't work so well... i mean, it does, but seriously could have been better managed...)

the sleepy records table was a success as well, though i guess since we were basically giving things away, it really couldn't do anything but. we also got a good bit of donation money for the baltimore sandwhich project and other sleepy records projects, though i think the adorable bear helped:



next time, i think, we'll actually sell stuff (6 months to make product for little mouse vintage and maybe have some cd's/tshirts/etc. for sale from sleepy... yeah... we can do it....). but other vendors who were selling things were also phenominally successful! lots of people! lots of money!

one of my favorite non-mafia vendors - other than karma's cafe which was tres awesome with her cider and deliciousa cookies - was noosed kitty (ok, her work has a morbid end to it, but it's also brilliant - i got a print and some badges). but there were so many good vendors (including the cigar box guitar guy... go here for the complete list of vendors.)

we also had some fun with decorating with dinoboy
,





who strangely here is sideways because my camera did something funny when it loaded the picture, and whose santa hat and beard you can't get the full effect of...







as well as with one of the coolest, most exciting movie homages ever:


















which got zero outraged comments, despite the presence of children (ann apparently was even warned, while wearing her antlers, that "they're beheading reindeer in the other room").

all in all, exhausting - especially after trying to lug boxes and bags of canned good to my car and then back because we realized the impossibility of carrying and storing them until friday and then found out the the shelter at the church where the even was could take the canned goods - but absolutely bloody brilliant.

now starts the planning for the next show... pile of craft 2!
