Rate the Con

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 plan to keep a rating system set up for many of the conventions.

[ays_poll id=153]

[ays_poll id=154]

[ays_poll id=155]

We realize that these don’t apply to all conventions, so if they don’t apply to your con, give them a 5 star.

**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**


We are on the second day of the convention and it was packed. For a while you could not move between the vendor aisles and I found it way too hard to make it over to the artist alley. Later in the day, around 3pm, things started to clear up and there was some room to move

My problem with today was the heat. At times it was overwhelming, unfortunately the convention does not have any control over that. The heating and air conditioning is entirely in the hands of the convention center. The excessive heat did make our fans go over VERY well.

If you are overheating, look for PopCultHQ’s roving photographer. I will have several more of these on hand today.
