update 9/9, sabotencon by goat

remember how i said i would post a journal when it was near sabotencon? well i had planned on it except they moved us and changed the entire artist alley layout

so not only did we not have a map that i could post on here and all other places i post my work (never received an email about the move from staff) but we were shoved in a corner severely affecting our sales and that was not the only thing that affected them
we were across from two other tables; 1 was the kazha table and the other was a bjd company
the singer for kazha and some hot topic motherfucker completely blocked the last aisle for over 2 hours - nobody could get through and the photographers were setting their cameras and drinks on our table

and then the bjd company was handing out flyers right in front of our table as soon as ppl looked at our prints even going so far as to tap potential customers on the shoulder checking out my stuff

ofc when u harass ppl w flyers they leave immediately... this woman was so fuckin pushy it was unreal
she was stopping ppl dead in their tracks to hand them a flyer

so ya even when we complained to staff they did nothing about either of these situations

not only that but throughout con save for the last day the lights would turn off and on constantly and by the last day almost all lights were off in our aisle and customers even commented on how its so hard to see my prints bc there were no lights

and after all this my friend and i are probably not going to be tabling at this con again
if u were lucky to get a good spot thats great but a lot of us lost a huge amount of business due to how they set up the aa and blocked more than half of it from view

its very clear that the staff does not care about artists and as someone who tries to take myself and my business seriously im not going to let this shit slide
