CombatCon 2016

I decided to go to CombatCon again this year even though last year was really intense.  I'm so glad I did because it was awesome!  I had forgotten how many friends that I made last year.  They made it fun and easier on all accounts.

This year I took my friend Nicole to help me guard the whips and she was the perfect person to take.  Not only did she do her job really well,  she is super fun to be around.


GM Ron Lew was there teaching classes, so I go to spend a lot of time playing and talking with him. 

Here are a few Highlight pictures.  Thank goodness for Ron taking pictures because I was so in the moment that I forgot to take pictures of the good stuff.

The whips Minus a dozen or so.  I just went down to hang my banner and ended up selling a bunch before I even opened for business.  I regret not having a picture of them all together but Not bad enough to tell people to wait till the next day.  The room at the West Gate was nice but the bathroom wasn't as good as last year.  I missed that jetted tub!

The view of my table before I decided to move it around.  I'm using zip ties to secure the whips to the table.  It worked great!

Picture
I brought 12 whips for Anthony De Longis to test out. Funny, that I didn't get a picture of him with the two he took home. 
He can really draw a crowd no matter what he is doing, even if it is just goofing off before opening ceremonies.   (check his website out here)



Picture
He decided to go in a more private room to play with the whips.

However, even if you have a bag full of new toys,  you have to work it if you want to keep his attention.  LOL!  I didn't mind, I was loving every minute of being a target.

This is my friend Tom, who I met last year.  He purchased a whip last year but this is him testing out his new Tibetan Wave whip.  Looking good!

Anthony and Mary getting ready for their demonstration.  I love that top picture where they are perfectly together.  They are such a great team.

Somehow,  Ron's demonstration and Anthony's morphed together and turned into this beautiful explosion of information.

This yellow whip was so perfect.  It had four different colors and was strait as an arrow.  Sadly,  Yellow whips don't sell really well... but they photograph beautifully! (It did sell right after Ron put his mojo in it)

Ron's class was awesome!  We learned so many new cracks ans catches and wraps.  I love how fun and high energy Ron is.  Every single person was a success before they left.

We let our hair down and had some fun when all the work was over.  I got to see and do some things that were really exciting.
