This is sort of a follow-on to my previous post about anime fandom. You may want to go back and read that; it might make this more understandable. ( Read more... )
The one thing I don't like about AD is the lack of room parties. I mean, I think we were one of two both-night parties, and lots of attendees still yell out "POTATO GUY!" when they see me, but there needs to be more.
I agree completely. One of the many things we're working on...someday the Non-Detachable Party Saucer Section will be rocking on both floors, but that day is not today. :(
I think it might be the age thing - there's a bunch of kids that are splitting the rooms 7-8 ways to save money for the Dealers Room and they don't want to "waste" money on a party.
That could well be. Seemed to me that most of the room parties this year were by other conventions...and as for other anime conventions, I don't really know. The only other anime convention I've been to is Anime Iowa, which doesn't have too many room parties either as far as I can tell. I'll have to ask around.
I've been to Anime Iowa and Anime Central. There were some room parties at both but not to the extent on MarsCon, or CONvergence. The room parties at CONvergence are one of the things I love the most about that con. It's such a great atmosphere of people being social and having a good time. I'd love to see that develop at Anime Detour as well. I think we need to do more to promote room parties.
