Ok first off Trotcon was a *****ng blast. 2nd year I've been to it and I will say this again....I don't think Bronycon or any other con can beat Trotcon. Main reason....Trotcon feels more personal and less business like. I will be going back there for year 3.
Count on it.
Now.....I will not be attending Fiesta Equestria next week. Instead I will be attending Hoshicon. Yeah...I'm going to do an anime con over a MLP con. Again I have several reasons why I am doing this but it has nothing to do with the expenses for Fiesta. Rather no one is being told how many people are doing.
That's a MAJOR issue for vendors like me and others. I need to know how many people are going to get an idea how much to bring. If I don't know...then I'm not going to risk it. I'll take my $80 FE loss instead of gambling and putting in $1400 in expenses. I'm not going to pull another Unicon and go to a con blindly just cause I THINK it will be good. Actually is partly why I will likely never attend West Coast conventions ever again.
So....I am sorry to those that were hoping to see me. I will try to get to another convention down there....just it will not be MLP.
Next up....comics, DBZ pony, Wereluna and all that good Jazz. Yeah more is coming.
Uh...duh XD.
Finally
and I have a journal trade to finish up. Oddly, thumbnails aren't working but trust me....his stuff is really damn good. be sure to check him out.
Anyway that's all I got.
So to update the convention list....so far:
- Hoshicon (June 28-30, Winston-salem, NC) - Vendoring
- Fiesta Equestria (same weekend) - Backed out due to various issues.
- Bronycon (aug 2-4th, Baltimore) - Vendoring (MY LAST MLP CON FOR 4-6 MONTHS, again for several reasons)
- Youmacon (October 31 - November 3) - Vendoring
- Likely few more non-MLP cons through Mid-2014.
