Artist Alley Vlog ♡ Ocala Comic Con 2024

[@StrawberryRaine]

I love the new set up! It looks great! Shame about the hotel, though. A bad hotel really can sour the whole trip. I hope you have better luck going forward!

[@LionAroundSewing]

OMG little BOO tattoo! So cute! Also I hate how a bad hotel can ruin the whole con, Like I just need this place to sleep and that's it, why can't you be decent lol. I'm sorry you all experienced that and I hope you get a refund or they just don't charge you.

[@vidotter]

🎉 yes new setup looks so organized and clean 🎉 and yes the adjustments would totally make sense 😊

[@Lalaineartgeek]

Thank you so much!! I’ve set up at the next con and the adjustments made it so much better 👌

[@ProfessorSpacecakes]

I really wanted to get into this con because I'm local and wouldn't need to pay for travel or hotel, but sadly I got waitlisted. I'm glad to see it's doing so well though! Here's hoping I can get in next year. Also nice choice with Tony's Sushi. Probably the best restaurant in town. Sadly the food hasn't quite been the same since Tony passed away a few years back, but it's still really good!

[@ChantelleArts]

your set up looks fantastic, so much color ☺☺

[@Lalaineartgeek]

Thank youuu 🥺🥺

[@illustratingchristy]

I also live in Florida and not too far from there. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. I plan on doing my first con more local so I will be staying at my house not a hotel LOL

[@glitcheremily8994]

The whole hotel experience it sounds like hell, and it sucks that you went through that. Thank goodness the con aspect went well.

[@Lalaineartgeek]

We lived and we learned 😅 just hoping it never happens again!

[@suzumecreates]

omg!! Yessuh! I miss your vlogs ❤❤

[@artoftravisearls]

Great to meet you in person and glad you hit your goal for the weekend! Hopefully you have a better overall trip next time (although Tony's Sushi was a great call for dinner, sorry your friend lost his leftovers)

[@Lalaineartgeek]

Thank you so much!! I agree, we hope this never happens again 😅

[@YoungBunnyCosplay]

It was so awesome being able to say hi on Saturday!!! I meant to mention it but I love your new setup

[@Lalaineartgeek]

Much appreciated! Thank you so much for coming by!!! ✨

[@thesquaredart]

I missed your vlogs, I'm glad you are ok. The tattoo looks so cute!

[@Lalaineartgeek]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@Brittanysdesigns]

Omg the whole hotel thing is such a headache I am sorry you guys had to deal with that the entire weekend. I agree you should have the keychains up higher and maybe the bottom row can have posters instead!

[@Lalaineartgeek]

I just wish we don’t have to deal with something like this ever again 😩 but I appreciate it regardless 💕 and I’m set up at the next con and the adjustments made a huge difference!

[@lizinacan151]

Congrats on your 1st tat!! They're addicting, just warning you now. I have 5 and I'm only 23!

[@Lalaineartgeek]

Oh I have so many ideas 😂😂 I can’t wait to slowly build my collection!

[@lizinacan151]

@@Lalaineartgeek That's awesome!!!

[@augustawickmanart]

Wow! That really sucks about the hotel. I hope you get your money back.

This was my very first bigger convention I got to vend at! Usually ive only done small cons or cons where its their first year. Had a 5 hour drive to ocala immediately after getting off of work, and tbh it was alot of fun! I dont think i profited alot, my booth was in the vendor section in the very back, rather than the artist alley, so maybe that contributed to it, but i still really enjoyed it. The venue was gorgeous and there were literally zero problems checking in, or with the event at all that i encountered. I made back the table and hotel on saturday but sunday was insanely slow... Definitely didnt profit a whole lot... but i still wanna go back next year, and maybe ill get a table in the artist alley section this time :3 Love your videos! They helped me alot when i first started vending, and hopefully i can continue to improve

[@Lalaineartgeek]

I'm so happy to hear you had a great time!! It's usually a different crowd between vendors and artists, so it's good to experiment on both sides! Thank you so much for watching 🥰♥

[@stirlingj6109]

Great video 💜👍💜

Thank you💞💞

Hi! Pouch maker here. I forgot to ask if you had any pins,I wanted to get one. And wow that was a terrible hotel.Funny enough my air bnb also has some ants running around, nothing bad but they where there.

[@Lalaineartgeek]

Thank you again for the pouch 🥺🩷 but I hope that wherever we stay now in the future that there will be no bugs, but we’ll see 😖

[@Jayssewingnook]

@Lalaineartgeek Will you be able to do Infinitycon now? I saw you where supposed to go. I'm able to still able too.

[@Lalaineartgeek]

@@Jayssewingnook I’m doing anime st. Pete instead, had to move infinity con to next year because the new dates they’ve set also conflict with another con I’m already doing 😭

[@Need4Speed5000]

Oh no sorry about the hotel experience. I know you're not going to say which one it was, but I myself wonder if it was a chain or not. And if it was, which one, and sometimes with the room and the service of the employees, you get what you pay for. Not saying you deserved anything that happened because they should've done a better job, but with hotel experiences of my own, you just make sure to never stay at that chain again. I'm glad the con was good though!

[@Lalaineartgeek]

You're absolutely right in the fact that with certain hotels, you get what you pay for! This hotel is associated/linked with a well-known chain so we expected the rooms and service to be better than this 😥 but very thankful for a fun con to make up for it!!

[@Need4Speed5000]

@Lalaineartgeek aw man!! Maybe it was just that location! Looking forward to the next vlog 🙂

[@rinsvlogs]

Are you going to anime st.pete 2024?

[@Lalaineartgeek]

I am! ✨

[@Starline__studio]
