Ratings:
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We hope to eventually have a rating system set up for many of the conventions.

Growing pains are expected from a first year convention. This year seems to have held a few surprises regarding what wasn’t allowed in. It seems a lot of people had to dispose of food and water and were provided few choices inside. A lot of people seem to have had parking issues. Other complaints about the con were prices of vendors and autographs, but these are the same ones I see at almost every convention.

We turned again to our friend Anthony Macasieb for cosplay photos, their cosplay photos always give us a great perspective of the convention. They are a great photographer and a fantastic cosplayer, be sure to keep your eyes open for their next great costume.
