A Bittercon for Con+Alt+Delete

[starshipcat]

This weekend is Con+Alt+Delete, the winter companion show to Anime Midwest. It had never been a spectacular show for us, largely because of the high booth costs in proportion to the attendance and the level of spending by the crowd. Last year it did so poorly that we were seriously considering dropping it even before the unpleasant events of AnimeZAP. This year's dates made things even more difficult, since I would have had to unload on Monday after we got back, no matter how tired I was, because we could not leave on Tuesday for our Christmas trip and have a van full of merchandise sitting on our driveway.

So why not have a bittercon for it? There are some cool panel discussions we can talk about, and while I do miss the ramen in the con suite, I won't miss the promoter one bit.
