#810: Quick afterthoughts.

Apr 12, 2009 18:12

Though I had a good time, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed at the result of Kamikaze-con. I normally thrive on the small cons, but man this was small. Aside from ryankim, ranchan03, & inuyatta, I only got to see mostly the folks I see at Anime night at The Alamo.

I did hear some bad stories involving Anime Matsuri (unsurprisingly), so if you have any, please share ( Read more... )

Man, if I had money to go to a con that weekend, I would've gone to Kamikazecon. Sorry but they usually have better cons and better events and planning. I think the only reason a shit load of people went to Matsuri is because of Miyavi, oddly enough.

Though I would have loved to hang with you, you really didn't miss much. When I say this con was small, I mean it was SMALL. Like o-Chibicon 2 small. I think I may go the way of Gret and not go to any more Houston cons if this keeps up.

Wow, I remember that and THAT was small.

Though, the size is probably because it didn't put out as much advertisement ahead of time -- I know Oni-Con was small and changed due to the hurricane and that's when people usually put ads to other cons and stuff and none of my friends mentioned Kamikaze when they came back from Oni, just more talk about Anime Matsuri...

Anime Matsuri is always an iffy one for me -- I like OniCon better anyhow, but if they ever change the dates for Kamikazecon and get more publicity for the next one, then there's a possibility for that. Who knows, it's all speculation!

Somehow despite the small turnout I didn't run into you all weekend. Ridiculously small, sheesh.

I heard dirt on Matsuri from KKC staff. I lawl'd. Both cons were utter fail, hurray. This weekend was the end of my Texas anime con attendance.

I actually didn't get there until Saturday afternoon and even then I only stayed until about 8 when we were bored so we got dinner. Then Sunday we were only there for about an hour & cause it was so dead and got lunch.

I wish I could have hung out with you; I didn't see you at all either. I can't blame you either for you not going to Texas cons anymore. Oh well. :(

Just got home and I'm so glad I got to see you!

AM was actually...quite a success. After all the talk I heard about the comic in the program book, I went back and read it--and I might be dumb, but aside from a couple of snubs, I didn't see what the big deal was. There wasn't anything particularly scathing enough to equal a liability suit, so...I'm ttly lost.

Still, let me in on what you know. I can't make heads or tails of it. O_o
