o ^ o That was my day...summerized

-- • § • --

Though it was a small convention, it was a nice way to spend a few hours (most of which were spent napping. There was pleanty of time for it and I reaaaally needed it)...I'll be honest...it's not really worth the price. 60 USD...that is for all three days. No single day passes. You could probably see everything over 10 times before the day ended. That's why what I really enjoyed most from the convention itself was the costume play. The Vocaloids were awesome. It's always nice to appreciate some good, funny, creative cosplay. ;3 Vocaloid needs more love ~
^
Aside from that, any day I spend with him is always a good day, but it would be unfair to count that as part of my perception for the con itself. (I don't wanna state this, but I do at the same time x___x *mostly for Rusty really, and for a small bit of disappointment in me, but: D& Even my china town has more dealers that sell all that stuff than that! *minus the pretty hat place. *insider for russ: ;O Check for Nyuu York ~) .__. I guess I expected more from the dealer's room...as well as from the artist alley. Those are the areas I usually stop by at cons. Especially the dealer's room.
^
I am aware that this con has only been running for 5 years, so I understand that the budget is very limited. However, for them not to sell single day passes is a mistake, and not something that they should rule out. Not everyone is as dedicated to want to spend all three days at a con, but even the casual players would still like to enjoy it. I ran into a few unfortunate people who fit the subject. Everyone who wants to should get to enjoy it and pay the fair price for it.
^
I'm not hating on the con at all, just making that clear. In fact, I expect it to prosper and one day be grand. I'm sure everyone worked hard to get it working. ...forcing a 3 day pass however, adds a terrible stumbling block for many, I'm sure. A lot of people who attend are just youths after all...and students. . / . Knowing what it was like having gone this time, I would have been...unhappy had I payed the $60... ¬ 3¬
^
I really was glad though, to meet the people I met :3

Not everything. If they're going back next year, then that's good on their behalf. It wasn't something they should have tried.

Actually, it was very very good for sales. So I mean, It was brilliant for him to try it. Just bad for the people who wanted to get in.

>..> And isn't this convention supposed to be by one of those non-profit organizations? Or something like that?
I thought it was something for the people. . .
