Quinnicon, Animazement, ANext, and Anthrocon

So like usual I am super behind on updating this journal but anyway I wanted to post my past 4 con reviews, but they won't be in as much detail as usual because of how many they are but I did want to talk a lil bout them all

First of all THANK YOU...everyone of you who stopped by my tables/booth for each or any of these cons without you I would probaly be miserable stuck behind a desk all day at some office job...no offense to those who love their office jobs just not for me

Quinnicon
This was a free convention in Hamden CT for two days at the end of April...tbh I wasn't expecting much as this was there first year and it was only two days but man was I wrong.  I saw alot of familiar faces, but I also saw some people that told me they would love to go to other cons, but can't due to funds and were so happy to have a free con close to home.  I also saw alot of families who were at the convention together as a highly geek family I really appreciate this!  The girl who was in charge of the alley was super friendly and helpful.  The only downfall was I had to breakdown my table on Sat night, but it wasn't too bad and for a free two day con I don't mind breaking down.  I did three chibi commissions for this convention which all came out cute! If you were the guy who commissioned a chibi of himself Sunday let me know I don't want to post it until I give it to you and the devart id you gave me doesn't seem to work...I wasn't able to go to much as I was at my table but I did get to see the stuff for the main events area during the day because it was near my table and the dating game was hilarious! There were also a decent amount of really good cosplays! The two that come to mind was a Mephisto and a Harley Quinn that were very good.  So in wrap up if you are near Hamden next year, GO to this con people are super friendly and the view on the top of the hill was amazing...made me kinda jealous that I went to UCONN and not Quinnipiac.

ANimazement
This was my first official dealers room convention.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but ended up being really lucky having a really nice married couple next to me selling collectibles and plushies.  He was really nice and helped me plan out my next dealers room.  This was my first con out side of the New England-ish area as it was in NC and I have to say OMG you NC'ers deal with so much humidity its amazing!  And alot of people said it wasn't too bad.  Anyway the con went really well I saw alot of people cosplaying as the Old spice guys...which was...er...interesting lol.  Due to being in the dealers room and having early hours I got to go to more things than usual.  I was able to see some screenings which were decent, the masquerade which was much smaller than what was expected, and a video of the hatsune miku concert from AX last year.  I am soo jelly of all you who got to see that in person!  The one stinker of the con was we lost power in the hotel one night, I guess a block or two of Raleigh did.  I really liked this con, unfortunately I can't go next year as its the same weekend as AB, but I will def be there the following year!

ANext
So this was my second year at ANext and I have to say I was a little dissapointed I don't know if it was because the musical guest weren't as good as last year, but I felt like there were less people.  This may have just been in the alley, but it seemed smaller than last year and sales weren't as good.  BUT I do have to mention I still love this con and will def go next year, going to miss yamiko-michi.deviantart.com as shes moving over sea and won't be around next year but her art is amazing go and check her out if you haven't! Also wolf-daemon.deviantart.com/ was a great table neighbor and her art is great as well!  Anext will always have a special place in my heart as I have a whole bunch of friends that I met there and love!  I don't think I will ever miss an ANext.

Lastly Anthrocon
Before I say anything I want to let everyone know all the stereotypes of furry cons and fans are BS!  No offense to the awesome people I meet at all the other conventions I go to but Anthrocon was one of my best con experiences so far.  Everyone there is so super nice and friendly I had awesome roomates and table neighbors in the Dealers den!  I didn't really get to go to much as I was in the den most of the time, but everyone was awesome there and Pittsburgh is so pretty...well the part we were in lol.  I got to eat overlooking the water and feed the ducks ...After thinking about it all weekend I have decided my fursona is a monkey and if time permits I will be making a partial for next year.  I have definitly decided furrycons will now be in my line up.  I got to go to their masquerade which was very interesting especially the shakespeare skit involving a walrus, a shark, a dog, and a cat.  Yes they found a way to all be connected lmao...anyway it was a great experience and if you are wavering about whether or not to go next year I would definitely say yes.

So those are my most recent cons my next three are CTCON, Animaine, and NYCC

Thank you again to everyone who came to my table hope to see you again!
