I looked up “connecticon” and I saw a bloated-faced-purple-haired-fish-monster-chick, and robo-rabbit. Are those the mascots of which you speak? If so, I agree wholeheartedly.

Like Akon, I too have long wondered about the magical “First Con” experience, I now realize you’re simply jaded. Consider yourself diagnosed.

And tx to Susie for the Shugo Chara update. I prefer the manga to the anime, but I’m digging both.

Well the good and old, but crappy cons are a fair trade for not having to wait for a scratchy pirate fansub on VHS if you wanted to see something

I hope you go because fangirl rage posts = win.

akon> For starters, the anime fans that were teenagers at the time weren’t as retarded as they are now. Also the “first con”experience and well the fact that it was a small con (about 2000 people) and events & stuff were a lot easier to get into as well as workshops & all that. Also my first “dealers room” experience etc. Back when anime was “rare” but now that its so easily available, its not as “special” and with all the annoying loud kids running around that experience is never coming back

But NYAF was so good about it–they warned everyone about the Nice Boat scam as soon as they found out about it and they’ve banned them from the con! And NYAF is sooo close to you.

But if you do skip it, just go to ConnectiCon instead (lol)

DS> Hahaha yea I should, but it’s the principle really. I hate buying something that screams ripoff in my face. Also after last year’s not so nice boat incident, I’m not that much of a happy camper with NYAF to begin with.
