    tip from a fellow vendor!! throw a big sheet or table cloth over your setup when you leave it (and even clamp it down) to prevent theft!

    I just found you, but this is fun to watch! I want to be independent one day and have been watching expo/con setups from artists.
    I wanna say if you’re worried about the plastic (which is understandable) there’s sellers on Etsy who make con display stands from wood. I watched another artist get it and put it together.

I'm looking forward to setting up my first booth this year and this gives me so much confidence. My sister, the reason I love anime/nerd culture passed away last year so seeing all your friends and family get to see your set up and support made me teary eyed, but in a way that makes me smile.
