Conventions You've Gone To or Want To Go To? - Moonface - Jun 28th, 2023

Since I'm going to Florida Supercon this coming Friday for a bachelor party I got the idea for this thread, which will be this iteration of UG's 1000th thread! Gasp

So as the thread title says, have you been to any cons or want to go to one you haven't been to before?

If I didn't forget any, these are all the ones I've been to (as overall events, not individual instances):
  • MCM Comic Con London
  • PAX East
  • Summer Games Done Quick
  • Florida Supercon
  • Holiday Matsuri
  • Hatsume Fair
  • Obon Festival
  • MegaCon Orlando
  • New York Comic Con
As for any I've not been to but would want to, I can't really think of any? Hmm

Been to just MCM Comic Con (London) multiple times and...some type of convention that had stalls and such but was small compared to MCM, forgotten the name but was also in London during July. Might have been London Film and Comic Con but when I went it was smaller because as I look at what they have now seems to be more guests going than when I went. OK, looked at venue pictures and yes it was that. I didn't go for guests back then though, just wanted to see what it was like. Hope it's gotten better, but not sure if I want to go back.

Conventions I want to go to? Haven't got an exact one in particular, but any Con that's based on games & anime (can be more but those primarily for my interests) in the US. Oh and possibly also EVO Fighting Game Tournament. Perhaps when Tekken 8 joins the line up (next year or 2025), I may even try and enter the tournament myself. XD

I'd say NYCC and PAX would be two US cons you'd really enjoy @Mr EliteL. They both had the biggest amount of both games, anime and other stuff compared to any others I've been to, including the one I'm currently at. Speaking of, here's some neat dice at a booth I'm currently standing around at: https://imgur.com/a/zVLKxhm

I don't have any interest in using dice but I can appreciate how nice these are. Smile
