I just came back from Supercon, I though it was fraking awsome! Best ive been to yet.
First off its an anime convention. Yeah they got comics, video games and sci-fi movie things too but its and anime convention! It happens to be the only Con in south Florida that carries a little more then just anime stuff. Chibi-pa, megacon, yasumi-con all them just anime, anime and nothing but anime.
Also if you picked up a program at the entrance it told you every single event that was going on in the rooms on the second floor. Hence why they didnt have much info up there, its all in the program.
Did you cos-play? cause your supposed to cos-play! Only reason to go to one of these things and not dress up its if 1. your a vendor or 2. its your first convention.
The fun is all in dressing up and taking pictures and having people say stuff like "YO SON! THAT COSTUME LOOKS MAD SICK BRO!"
I went with my buddy and dressed up as Eliot Salem and Tyson Rios from Army of Two. Everyone kept asking if they could take our picture, cute girls hugged me for no reason and guys in way better shape then me were high-fiving me. I felt like a goddam rock star for a day!
Oh and the girls. Not for nothing but Miami has the finest honeys bro! BAR NONE!
Dollars to dounuts you will not see more cute girls in cos-play in all other anime related cons then you will in Miami Supercon.
so yeah, gotta be an anime fan (Gundam, Macross, Guren-Lagan, and various Hentai in my case) gotta get that program, cos-play and cute girls! Supercon is great!
oh and to stay on topic if anyone needs any 25th single carded joes for like 10 bucks a guy at booth 608 has practically each and every one. Got a red ninja, blue Firefly and blue resolute CC for 30 bucks.
and his girl friend was mad hot!
and she digged my costume!
Winning!
Maybe I'm spoiled from MegaCon in Orlando 'cuz that Con is so much bigger. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand this facet of society's need to dress up, but unfortunately for me, my time is done for that now and I would look ridiculous. I'd get arrested for pedophilia 'cuz most of these "chicks" could be my daughters and my spouse would leave me. And knowing my luck, my picture would end up on Facebook and my employer would see it and fire me. ;->
I'd be lying to you if I didn't appreciate the few eye-candy that does show up, but let's be realistic - there are only a few true gems out there. I counted maybe 2 or 3 max that made me fumble for my camera phone or double-take- including the girl at that one vendor selling 25th Joe stuff you mentioned. She was hot.
Oh, I did see that lady from those Pampano Beach Festival Flea Market Commercials (Lisa Corrao). I thought she was cute if you can appreciate something a little more mature. Here is a link I found of her:
Festival Flea Market 2 « Lisa Horwitz Makeup Artistry
So to conclude, if you can keep cosplaying and getting those cheap hugs and grabs, then more power to you. I'm not knocking it. Enjoy it while you still can, 'cuz one day you'll be watching... like me.
Now to get back on topic I just realized that I should have bought that damn SDCC Gold-Head Destro that vendor had at SuperCon for $75. In my madness I thought I could get it cheaper on eBay. I was wrong. No way I am paying another $30 to go and get it.
