My BEST Con of the Year! | Momocon 2023 Artist Alley Review + Blog

[@onetinyrabbit742]

SO GLAD WE HAD FRIEND TIME AT MOMOOOO ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheStarfishface]

SARAH MY LOVE ME TOO!!!! >w

[@velvi8359]

The Momocon traffic on Saturday was an absolute nightmare, both entering and leaving. Ed Sheeran was playing right next to where the con was, so if you are wondering why the entire city was a sea of cars and chaos, that was one of the major factors.

I'm glad that you really enjoyed Momocon despite the speed bumps that came with it. From everything I had heard about it, it seemed lots of fun. I remember that the developers of a game I got back into playing a lot recently also had a large panel at Momocon this year too. Plus, one of my old friends said he was there as well. From what I heard, everyone was having a blast! It's a shame I couldn't go because I was not in the Georgia area. Yet, after awhile, it made me think about my future with conventions and perhaps if I hone up my art skills and work more into merchandise making, I could maybe make an appearance at a small convention. Recently, after having a conversation with my sister and how she wants to hone up her art skills to and make her own webcomic. It got me thinking, if she still wants to do that, perhaps I could gift her your webcomic book for Christmas or her 2024 birthday. Also, while I was watching this video, I was thinking about it feels like only yesterday that I started watching your videos, but it has actually been 2 months. Time files. There is something about your video style that really keeps me invested. The stories, the tips, the comedy. I just want to thank you for that!

wake up babe TheStarfishface uploaded a new video

[@bristolwork]

TheStarFishFace I’m havin such a delightful time listening to all your vids. Can’t wait for your Japan series to pop off but the art tips, purchasing your home (howdy neighbor 🤗) and the Momocon highlights + turnout vids have all been wonderful. You have been a source of light in my otherwise stressful year. Genuinely enjoying your content and can’t wait what else is in store! Who knows, maybe I can hobble to Dallas for AnimeFest! Either way, THANK YOU for sharing as much as you do ^O^

[@SouzouInc]

I really love your artist alley review videos! They're incredibly informative and I really appreciate that you don't shy away from talking about profits at the end. The one thing I would ask is that, when you're talking about the net profit, you also include the cost of materials for things you sold. A rough estimate is fine, of course! I'm just insanely curious about how much of that $5900 went into producing the products you sold in the first place, or how much will go back into replacing the products with new merch. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@Rocketdog299]

Have I ever told you before that I find you to be one of the most likeable and relatable V-tube/Storytime KZbinrs on the platform. In any case, you know now. Sounds like you had a really great time at Momocon, even though it could be a bit stressful at times. I’m actually pretty amazed by your ability to handle stress. If I were to end up in any of the situations you talked about (like losing your cash), I would probably lose my mind 😵‍💫. I would love to visit you at a con in the future, but I live in Europe, so travelling all the way over to Atlanta (or Texas, for that matter) sadly isn’t something I can just decide to do. Are you planning to ever visit some cons abroad, if I may ask😃?

[@buttondowndingo]

9:53 Hey Star! I've found that keeping a tile tracker (twenty five dollars for one in my area anyway, but if you're an apple user you can probably just use an airtag) in my small bags, especially the ones I carry cash in, helps SO MUCH with my anxiety around small bags.

[@maricia1416]

Soooo glad you where there! I immediately sent my friend to your booth to send me some of your art back to my state! Thank you for recommending her the Vector key chain!!

[@wyrmghost]

I really want to do cons at some point next year and it’s really nice hearing about different cons and your experience

[@otomeleifu]

Oh shoot I was recently watching your AA reviews again so this is a pleasant surprise. I wanna table at momocon but chickened out of applying this year 😭

[@random_english_speaker3656]

I think you just gave me a reason to go to my first convention. Thank you

[@Juany1985]

Actually got into Somnium files because I heard about it from you a while back. Love your story time vids😊

[@Stayedforthecat]

I love these vlogs there my favorite of the content you make and I’m so happy that there back

[@animechan-ub9wt]

Omg sounds like fun I wanna start going to conventions also I know I’m really late to the party but I just started reading your webcomic (I’m getting really invested)

[@Shae.here_]

Oh my god! The "i know you" thing happened to me as well, but i was the kid. One random streamer aproached me and my con buddies and was like "Wave to the camera!!!!" and i was just "Hold up... *gasp* I KNOW YOU!"

[@scarlett798]

could you do a video about time management PLEASEE

[@BluntmanEXE]

I've never been to Momocon, but I have a couple of friends who like it. However, I am a regular at Anime Weekend Atlanta, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

[@magpiesoddities]

I was tabling the same row as you, (i was "the booth with the giant mushroom display"😅) this year was my first momo and my second biggest con I've attended. I was SO shocoed how good the vibes were?! Out of thousands of people, only 1 was a negative interaction with all the rest being insanely positive wonderful interactions. It was also my highest profit but i hope i can get in again next year for the soul purpose of gettingnto try that bakery you mentioned 👀

[@toob1979]

I don't know if it's an option, but have you ever considered shipping your merch to the con site ahead of yourself? I haven't priced shipping via UPS, FedEx, etc., but it seems to be a way to get your merch to the con without worrying about your airline losing the luggage, etc.

[@useyowords9745]

Lol howdy from Georgetown…….Texas

[@PandorasB0x_]

I went to your booth on saturday and have been listening to the podcast since!!

[@codeyking2400]

Thank you so much for making this series! I've been interested in selling at artist alleys and these videos have been so useful. Your other videos about comics are also so helpful! Your narration is very clear and understandable. You are truly an inspo :D

[@minisqwish]

Momocon is literally my favorite convention. I applied to artist alley for this year, but got waitlisted. Still holding out hope though!

[@quaili3]

i love your longer videos, great to draw to. thank you!!

[@yourblueberrymajesty]

Can't wait to see you at afest!!! 💞

[@Azzie__]

Hi star! I just wanted you to know that you're amazing! I love your comic so much, and discovering your channel basically released a whole waterfall of memories from like fourth grade, when I made comics all the time :D I want to start making them again actually ^^

[@greenberry3265]

2:41 as a true Pole, I must say, that I'm from Poland, and I love Poland, and Poland only XD Pozdrawiam

[@disodosid]

[@TheStarfishface]

Hopefully!

[@kcmoon2214]

@@TheStarfishface me too! ♥️☺️ And damn you respond fast. 😳😲

[@flomstuff-kk7fn]

4:48 Priorities

[@Mongoosejack]

If all those numbers were adjusted specifically to get the "69" total, I applaud you 👏👏👏 Nice...😏😉🤣

[@moemuxhagi]

Jesus christ, you made 6K at a con ??

[@NootNoooooot]

I'm sorry, but when you talk about profit, shouldn't you also be subtracting the cost of stock..? I'm guessing you're not talking about net income but i'm just a bit thrown off when I hear the word profit since you subtracted all other expenses but not your goods.

[@serinityainferno]

OMG ME AND MY FRIENDS WERE AT THAT FINAL FANTASY PANEL! I am not a player but we were with the Emmeret who won the crown!
