Vending Back-to-Back Weekends Part 1: DenFur

I have often wondered what life would be like relying on my writing alone and just how much effort it would be compared to the reward gained. This August had got a little taste of that, having vended at two conventions on two consecutive weekends: DenFur (Denver, CO, August 23rd-25th) and Tails & Tornadoes FurContinue reading “Vending Back-to-Back Weekends Part 1: DenFur”
