I'm sure you guys had a great time...and this is nothing against anyone who did....It's just that this show is kind of a sad statement about what conventions have become. I guess an old guy like me, who's been going to conventions (comic book, collectables and scifi...etc) for the past 14 -15 years, you see a major difference...The FX toy shows (not the last few) were once so big you needed almost an entire day to check out every vendor. The quality and quanity of the vendors was extraordinary.
Or Maybe it's just a florida thing...Dragoncon the past years has been great and I know the NY wo dercon are always great. I think being so far south, we don't get a lot of new vendors.... Let's just be thankful for Tate's comics Last edited by Bilbo5000; 07-03-2011 at 11:20 AM.. |

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. ;->
The cons in Florida do suck compared to San Diego and NJ. Still Im trying to get to Toypocalypse in October and just the cost of travel is already over a grand, SDCC was like 1600 just in travel expenses. Joe-con in Orlando was only like 600 for travel so thats also a reason for me to stick to crappy cons!
