Salt Lake Gaming Con 2016

I had a booth as Comic Con, but the booth was so expensive, I almost made back the cost of being there at all.

Salt Lake Gaming Con was better suited to Paint My Game. Lynell, Melo, and Matt all helped. I get anxious about it because I'm deaf. There's a curtain behind me with a booth behind that. I hear them really well. Often better than the people I'm having a conversation with in front of me. Like Comic Con, I made most of my money from the raffle. I raffled off the dragon. I'll be sure to paint something large for every event I do. These are so much fun! I love seeing the costumes, the bartering, the time with Lynell. The days off work ;) It's an adrenaline rush for me. So many people to talk to! It's easier for me to extrovert from behind a table for some reason.

I'm looking at a Bones miniature and giving these people a quote.

After the event, I had a bunch of paid jobs to work on. The convention is a great way to get work, more than selling pieces, unfortunately. I can't justify a bunch of purchases for the conventions anymore.

Day after, I caught my breath and got the "Con Crud". With so many people and so many germs around, I was what Matt and I call "feeling blah". Not sick enough to stay home from work because you can fake it, but you still don't feel good.

Cross Country Drive

Matt's cousin moved back to Utah from Pennsylvania and needed a driver for the U-haul. He flew out on the 28th of May and drove three days back. It was quality (and quantity!) time with the Saltas! Costa called him his buddy and liked his fighter pilot mask (c-pap). Matt said he needs to keep it on because he has really cool dreams.

Here's his Facebook post from today:
I had no idea how much I consider this valley home. Anyone ever driven cross country and come down parleys to see those beautiful mountains after driving from the east coast? Does anyone else get that feeling of belonging when you re-enter the valley in which you've lived your entire life?
