Craft Booth at Drag Con?
A few weeks ago, I attended RuPaul's Drag Con in Los Angeles. I had an amazing time running my Tupperware booth with a fellow consultant, and can't wait to go back next year. I didn't get to personally meet as many queens as I would have liked, but I still got to meet more than last year as an attendee! We were lucky enough to be placed next to the National Showgirl Pageant/National Showman Pageant booth, and they knew quite a few of the queens who had made their way onto the show. Some of them even stopped by their booth to say hi. During the run of the convention, I randomly had Monique Heart walk up and give me a hug in my booth; Asia O'Hara and Scarlet Envy walked around the convention floor and were gracious enough to take a photo. We also took photos with other attendees dressed in drag and other fabulous outfits. Best of all, I made two new friends from the National Showgirl Pageant booth. They kept us entertained--by talking with us, sharing stories, and pointing out queens--all weekend. It was a blast.
I've been debating on what I want to do next year. While we did alright with the Tupperware booth, as of yet, we haven't recouped the cost of the booth. I'm thinking next year of doing a craft table instead. I started this blog as another place to promote my and my husband's craft stuff. It's not an official business as of yet--one day it will be. But, Facebook only gets you so much exposure, and if you want to actually set up a "store," they want your social and other personal information. When we decide to make this a true business, then I will worry about changing all of that. Anyway, off topic there. Currently, the crafting consists of crocheting and sewing due to the confines of living in an apartment.
So, the point of this... if you were to stop at a craft table at an event like Drag Con, what types of items would you be interested in purchasing? I am generating a list of ideas, but I'd like to get ideas from other people. I'm also considering raffling off a blanket (or two or three) with a portion of the proceeds going to a charity (or two or three). Over the next few weeks, I plan on sharing ideas of things I am considering making, and would love the feedback.
Cheers!
