With my recent trip up to Aberdeen for Granite City Comic Con it gave me a chance to try some new Mac & Cheese eateries and Aberdeen is full of them!
But hey, I was only there for a couple of days so had to pick wisely and I like to think I did! The one essential stop on my trip, and the very first place I went to having gotten off the plane, was Thains Bakery on George Street!
…how are you feeling?
I have to admit having worked extra hours yesterday for my day job, getting home late and being off the alcohol I’m doing pretty good (he says trying not to brag…) That being said, I did make and eat all by my lonesome a meal last night that should have served 4 to 6 people so….. oops. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Okay, maybe less of a blog and more of an advert but hey, it’s news!
So yeah, have you checked our online merch store recently over at RedBubble? I’ve gone through it and made a few changes having removed some designs and added a bunch of new ones.
More importantly, I’ve set the images up so they now actually work on different colours of shirt! It’s the future! (Okay, I’m just really slow on the uptake with how to present my work correctly!)
But yeah, check out some of these designs!
The big news is I’ve also gone and added a bunch of other options than just t-shirts and added things like wall clocks and notepads (two very different examples there!)
But yeah, check it out over at RedBubble
More soon! Bear hugs!
PS. Is it wrong to want to wear your own designs? BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO!!!
So back at the weekend we were up in Aberdeen catching up with friends and family, eating Mac & Cheese (reviews to come!) while also getting to attend Granite City Comic Con!
But pre-con we had a problem! We do not travel light but we also wanted to save money (while also feared belongings getting damaged in hold) so what to do?!?
See, as you might know, this is my usual kind of table layout…
…but the goal was to cut costs (and seriously, we were scared the books and prints would get bashed about in hold). For a more local convention we’d be taking a suitcase, backpack and a display stand – okay, I’m saying ‘we’ a lot but for conventions and carrying it’s usually just me (and man is it heavy!)
I had to trim our stuff down and I mean by a LOT! I picked off all the stands, decided the postcards, badges and bowl can stay behind, leave the display stand behind, and (reluctantly) also travel without the discount prints (as they require the holder too and I knew we’d be short on space both in terms of what we can carry and also display)
So main prints and books it was (plus table cloth) and you know what? It was kinda cool! Like, a lot cool!
It was so light!!! But wait! That wasn’t the best thing! It felt proper old school (okay, we still had way more prints and books back when we started attending conventions) but it was simple and clean and also weirdly didn’t feel overwhelming to look at!
Kinda made us take a step back and rethink what to have on the table going forward but yeah, who knew? Sometimes too much is… TOO much?
And hey! Not only was GCCC a learning experience it was also an AWESOME day with some cracking chat from both visitors and our booth neighbours!
Hopefully we’ll be there next time (and fingers crossed enjoying the same amazing weather!)
Okay, back to work but there will be another blog up soon as we’re a week behind! Whoops!
More soon! Bear hugs!
PS. How crumpled is that cloth? I think it’s the same wrinkles in both photos!?!
The other weekend I went for a walk and (totally intentionally) ended up back in Camden to try out another Mac & Cheese eatery and I was super excited!
Where did I go? Why, the Cheese Bar! Where the seats and bar are made from cheese! (Okay, they’re not but y’know, that would be gross and awesome in equal measure – okay, maybe just gross)
