It’s that time of year again…

You know the time I’m talking about – where you wistfully look at live feeds of BlytheCon (and other similar events that are differently named) on the internet, where you wish you were present for some amazing raffles, the fun marketplaces, and just getting to see friends of old and making new friends – all bonding over the lovely eye changing doll that we all know and love.
From now until October there is a major event each month!
- June – BlytheCon Japan,
- July – BlytheCon US,
- August – Blythe Fest (Australia),
- September – BlytheCon Europe (Germany), and
- October – BlytheCon UK (Scotland)
And do you know how many of these events I’ll be attending? (Trick question because the answer is none of them.)
Real life trumps vacationing, I’m afraid, at least for now! I’m hoping finances and time (it’ll be mostly time…) allows for vacationing in 2017. There was recently a poll that happened on Facebook for the new 2017 host city for BlytheCon US and the doll community (on Facebook) voted for Brooklyn, New York. This time (well, for 5 months, anyways), I will be home and enjoying watching the festivities on the internet. Hopefully my friends will give a little wave to me on the live streams, if there are any! Last summer was very different, what with being very busy with planning for BlytheCon Vancouver and juggling that with being unemployed – it really is amazing what a difference a year makes!
If you’re attending any of the above events, I’d love to invite you to write about your experience for BlytheLife! Please email me if you’re interested in sharing your Blythe event experience!
I wish one would come back to Portland! ?? I would travel to one if I could but I’m eying a couple stock dollies right now…
I’m going to Edinburgh, for the third year in a row (eek ><)
Someday I hope to attend a BlytheCon!
