RealmsCon (10/2 - 4 2009) (TX)

Typically, one of the hardest things about writing a convention is where to start, but RealmsCon makes that easy.

You start with the beach.

JACON - End Game...

I never thought that writing an overview of my experience with a particular year's convention was going to be a very hard thing to do. This year's JACON made me realize that it is indeed a possibility because no matter what I do, I will end up writing about 10 years worth of experiences as opposed to just what happened this last weekend.

MegaCon (2/27 - 3/1) (FL)

I want to write a actual review for MegaCon this year because for the first time in a long time my perspective on it matches up with the typical convention-goer's point of view, but man... It's hard....

EXP Con (Oct. 17-19th)

How do you say that an anime convention was well-run, when there were massive technical problems that affected the whole thing? That’s simple. You say that it was a first-year convention.

Anime x Gamer Experience had a surprisingly stable foundation which was reflected by the friendly staff.  Unfortunately...

RealmsCon (Sep. 5-7th)

Despite Murphy's law kicking into full effect with the transportation, RealmsCon was absolutely amazing! Here's the breakdown...

Anime Festival Orlando 2008

It has not escaped my notice that I have in recent times grown to post only the positive side of a convention. Often the reason for this is that I tend to forget the negative - so why post about something I can't remember?

This time is a little different because Anime Festival Orlando had no negatives.

YasumiCon 2008

I've discovered that going to shows in south Florida has this weird ability to totally trick me into thinking that I'm in a show in...

"AnimeFest" 2008 (May. 3rd)

"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)

If 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)

JaniCon - Bittersweet Memories?

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

If 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)

Florida 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)

This 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!

Anime SuperCon (Apr. 13 - 15)

Anime Supercon 2007: A Artist's Perspective.
By Dragonmun

"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

East 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

Anime 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.

Anime Festival Orlando 2006

Anime 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.

Houkocon 2006

Houkocon 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.

PersaCon 2006

Persacon
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.

JACON 2006

JACON 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

So, 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...
