Previous Convnetions
"AnimeFest" 2008 (May. 3rd)
posted by Dragonmun on 29 Apr 2008"Animefest 08" is the second of a series of "mini-conventions" put forward by the Broward County Library System (Florida) that I have had the privilege of being a part of. This time it was held at the Southwest Regional branch in Pembroke Pines...

NartutoTrek (Mar. 28 - 30)
posted by Dragonmun on 19 Feb 2008If there was ever a convention that had more skepticism about it than Naruto-Trek, I would be hard-pressed to believe it.
When I first heard about Naruto-Trek I honestly thought that it was a joke. That someone out there was comparing the Otaku of today to the Trekkies of previous generations. Then... the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I probably wasn't the only anime fan with a secret of also being a Star-Trek nerd.

JaniCon 2007 (Nov. 2 - 4)
posted by Dragonmun on 07 Nov 2007JaniCon -
JaniCon is without a doubt he weirdest convention that I've ever had the privilege of writing a review/story for. It was an emotional roller coaster that ended up leaving me feeling as I would imagine floating under the sun in a sea of LCL would feel. Good, but with a slight sense of dread stemming from some place unexplainable.

Totally Emotional - Anime Festival orlando 2007
posted by Dragonmun on 07 Aug 2007If anyone's been following my ventures on Deviant Art or my gallery, they would know that I've been excited about this con for a while because of their RPG theme thing. I've been working with Stephanie on themed events at conventions over the last year and I knew that the staff of AFO is excentric to make this absolutely fantabulous (yes I know that's not a word).

Florida Supercon (Jun. 22 - 24)
posted by Dragonmun on 13 Jun 2007Florida SuperCon
I don't know weather or not this was because I had never been to Florida SuperCon before, or if it was because I was still coming down off of PersaCon, but I was kind of afraid of this multi-genre convention. I'm glad that my anxiety was unjustified.

PersaCon (Jun. 15 - 17)
posted by Dragonmun on 05 Apr 2007This was my second PersaCon and once again I was there to help my friends Stephanie Chateau (who now has a place amongst our staff) with her themed scavenger hunt event.
The first and biggest thing about this convention is the staff. They treated not just the guests, but all the attendees so well that it felt more like a family reunion full of those cool aunts and uncles that you like to visit more than it felt like a convention. For a weekend, they were like family... It was AWESOME!

"We're rapping to poop!"
If you guys don't understand that phrase by now, then you are truly missing out. I would highly suggest visiting the MySpace of Emergency Pizza Party, one of the many bands performing at this convention.
The sudden endorsement of one of Orlando's local band isn't as random as it may seem, for there was so much talent at this convention that it was almost shocking. The only reason that I say almost is because it was advertised all over the Anime SuperCon Website.

East Meets South 2006
posted by Dragonmun on 15 Aug 2006East Meets South: An Artist’s Perspective.
This was another one of those conventions that falls under the weird category. It was horrible for sales, but I suspect it has something to do with it’s close proximity to Black Friday’s date.
The reason I say this is because that was the excuse I heard people give all weekend when they were asked by the vendors if they were interested in something.
The highlight of the convention was definitely ...

Anime South 2006
posted by Dragonmun on 24 Jun 2006Anime South : An artist’s perspective
I suppose that first of all I should explain this “artist’s perspective” thing. All artists are businessmen, whether they want to be or not, and thus they all take on some form of sales job to promote them selves and sell their stuff. I just happen to do this at a comic table rather than an art festival booth, and I sell printed comics rather than prints made off of canvas paintings.~ Read More ~
Anime Festival Orlando 2006
posted by Dragonmun on 09 May 2006Anime Festival Orlando 2006: A short report.
I didn't do anything but sit at my artist alley table this convention, which was a pleasant change from every other con that I hit this year. Sales were good. I've got only one of each issue of Sivoa left over from the new shipment and I actually got caught up on the commissions I took there.~ Read More ~
Houkocon 2006
posted by Dragonmun on 09 May 2006Houkocon 2006
As much as I would like to do a normal report for this convention, I can't. It was just to... what is the word that I am looking for... surreal.Without a doubt this has been one of the most disorganized events that I've been to, but it was a total blast. The staff behind the whole thing was really good at improvising where they had too, and even though some things were canceled and other delayed, it was a good job for as first year convention.

An Entertainer's Perspective?
Because
of the fact that PersaCon is in Alabama, we left for PersaCon on
Thursday with a car full of people. The trip was looooooonnnngggg, but
not without benefits. I had never seen mountains like that before since
I was born and raised in central Florida. It's about as flat as flat
can get here.~ Read More ~
JACON 2006
posted by Dragonmun on 03 Apr 2006JACON Review: An artist's perspective.
Overall I'm very pleased with how JACON's artist alley section was handled this year. We have moved from the inside of the dealer's room to the hallway just outside of main events.When I first found out about this move I was really worried that we were just shoved into a spot out of the way and wouldn't have any real business. Thankfully that wasn't the case...

MegaCon 2006
posted by Dragonmun on 02 Mar 2006So, I've given up on my gallery for the time being because it's giving me a headache with it's configuration stuff and I've decided to take a little break and give you guys my convention review for MegaCon... cause like. I dunno. You guys might be interested in that. ;p
I first of all have to state that this years convention was a little weird for me because I was not selling at a table. Instead I was running around like everyone else...
