Talk:Draw Party

the first draw party was a midnight meetup during 2011 Otakon, probably on Saturday:

• 2011-07-19 - what seems to be the origin post
  • 2011-07-27 - found the above post here and then googled for a copy; OP's blog was deleted at some point.
• 2011-08-03 - artists gave things away at the draw party
• 2011-08-03 - video of 2011 homestuck draw party
• date unknown - evidence there was a 2011 AUSA draw party in November, 2011
• date unknown - in post #18, "Emi" is said to have run the draw party, though the OP of the origin post linked above seems to be named "Mandy" (they remade their blog here; I sent them an ask asking if they started draw parties or what) Also other discussion in this thread mentions getting up for the Sunday shoot was really hard in 2011, which seems to confirm my suspicions that the 2011 draw party was midnight Saturday.
• 2012-04-26 - otakon planning
• 2012-06-24 - otakon midnight draw anniversary announcement by charmsandpandas
• 2012-07-11 - artist trading card explanation and giveaway info
• 2012-08-01 video of the draw party on the 4th floor of otakon at 1am before they were kicked out around 2am
• 2012-08-01 - con report from otakon with comments about the draw party and photo of art
• 2012-08-14 first draw party at dragon con
• 2012-11-04 - post changed to be an AUSA draw party (at this point in time iirc it was possible to change the contents/title of a post, which is why if you mouse over OP's link it still has the same URL for the otakon version from earlier in the year)
• 2013-07-01 - 2013 draw party announcement - mentions that "mandy and sheepskin" had the artist card idea. sheepskin is probably http://sheepskin.tumblr.com as they have homestuck in their archives, but I haven't reached out to them.
• 2014-06-11 announcement for 2014; by this point the organizer had to get in touch with the staff to discuss organizing it because, like photoshoots, it was just too big.
