MECHACON
First off, sorry for the delay in updates; we’ve are caught in our whirlwind of summer / fall conventions. This weekend we will be in the dealer’s room at MECHACON in New Orleans!! We’ve never been to either the city nor the show so it’s a first time road trip adventure for Brian and I! No worries, we will make it there and home with plenty of cute to offer!
Right after Mechacon is a home town show for us, ANIMEFEST right here in downtown Dallas!!
And then we will be at NAN DESU KAN for our first time ever, in the artist alley, the week after! Three shows back to back… to back! WHEW!! We will be sewing and prepping and doing our best to make sure we are stocked up on all of our shows. ALSO our BRAND NEW SITE is launching at the start of next month- so exciting!! Get ready for a TOTAL SITE MAKE OVER! You will love it, we love it and we think it’ll be easier for our customers to use and keep in touch with us!
Lots of exciting things, but we’ve gotta pack for our road trip! See you guys out there!!

Happy Customer Quotes
While prepping the NYCC entry, I figured it’d be a good time to interject with happy customer quotes!
…thank you for the assistance, the hat looks ADORABLE- perfect Christmas present- and I’ll definitely be ordering from Boshi-Basiik again…
-C. Stanfield
A friend of mine bought the grey fox/raccoon hat and the frog superstar hat for me as birthday gifts, and I am THRILLED! I’ve never worn anything like these before since I’m usually a really serious person, but these are my two new favorite accessories. *majorly happy* -L. Torres
Hello! My name is Allyson and I bought a lovely pug hat from Susan at Naka-Kon in Kansas City. We took a picture so thought you would like to see it! I love my hat! It keeps my ears warm in cold Nebraska.
-Cheers! Allyson
Thanks for the kind words everyone!! We really appreciate it. And of course, here is that mentioned photo!!
Feel special, Allyson, we don’t make those Pug hats anymore unless they’re custom orders. Man, those were suce a pain in the butt to make… and they were so cute, but no one every bought any! Sorry pug lovers, we tried.
Anyhow, thanks for the kind words everyone. If you have any fan photos, art, or anything to end us, email me at hellobasiik@gmail.com and we can feature it online!
2010 Convention Wrap Up

I know, we kind of got distracted in our conventions to update the site… since our last update we’ve attended FOUR shows: Anime Weekend Atlanta, Realms Con, New York Comic Con and now Youmacon. Let’s start back in Atlanta- we’ve been doing AWA for 5 years now and we have always had a blast there!! We were in the dealer’s room, met a lot of awesome peeps and old friends!

Everyone loves the chicken! Mmm… suddenly a little hungry… nomnom….

Homie on the right is a repeat customer, had to come back for more hats this year, and he brought a friend who picked out a frog hat, good choice! Thanks guys!! Ok, now I have to share the best cosplay I saw all weekend at Atlanta… but I may be biased since I DO love Disney films…

Pretty friggin’ awesome. Anyhow, as usual, Atlanta came and went and we were back home prepping for our next show, Realms Con in Corpus Christi, TX.
Most people expected, as a Dallas, TX resident, that I’d drive to Corpus since it is in the same state. HECK NO. From Dallas, it takes 7 HOURS. If I were driving north, in 7 hours I might be in Missouri. But in Texas you just drive around within the state forever because it’s so epic and huge. Needless to say we got there, and, having never been to Corpus, it was beautiful! Gorgeous waters, very quiet, historic downtown, and, of course, great customers!

Nice photo bombin’ yo

Thanks for stopping by to say hi, chat us up, and buy cute hats!! Staff at Realms Con were top-notch and took care of us! New York will have its own entry… very soon… We can’t believe it’s already November!! We are going to get swamped with Christmas orders!
