So holiday matsuri just announced an international guest who will be judging for their Cosplay Super Show. Does this mean he's also judging to send a US team to CICAF and CC? Could they not get a respectable American judge to help with that?

Also AFO this weekend. Who's attending?

Trying to figure out why AFO hasn't grown in size in over 10 years in regards to attendance, better guests, more stuff to do, etc. but went from a $30 con to a $65 con in that timeframe. Years ago, the halls and dealers room were shoulder to shoulder packed on Saturday. This year felt desolate and I'm willing to bet the prices scared people away. Asking anything more than $40 for a con of this size and quality is ludicrous.

Matsuri is looking good and Mizu should be interesting.

Mizu has been on life support for a good while now. I heard that Steve Lin no longer runs the event, so we might finally start to see some improvement. Orange Anime now runs Mizu and those guys usually do a decent job with panels as far as I can remember, so I hope they can do something about the con.

I'm sorry to hear about that, anon. Fellow artist here, Holiday Matsuri "grandfathers" people in. So people who were in the AA last year are automatically accepted for the next year if they choose to repeat which leaves very little room for new people.

A hall shot of me and my buddy as Herro.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the panel and said hi or stopped to talk to me in the halls. Sorry if I was awkward, half dead from exhaustion or hell just plain weird. Special thanks to Korin & crew for being awesome as usual. Thank you as well to Hanari & her crew for stopping to chat and talk shop. Always a joy to talk to fellow builders.

The panel went kind of rocky this year due to audio issues and problems with the slides getting corrupted, but I am going to make some changes next time to help things move more smoothly. Ill ask for more time as well so I don't have to rush so much with the raffle.

'get fucked kid.

Metro has grown, and was a massive cunt con, much like Megacon, much like all broder cons.

AFO and chibi pa honestly deserve your business. They are dwindling party cons, surviving from party loving communities. Already the effect of metro and other cons was felt with the smaller crowds at afo.

Still lit af IMO.

Side story: This one volunteer was a complete cuntface as I asked if they were leaving (forgetting that I was buying a pass to support afo) and he literally was 'NO, fuck off. You need to BUY A PASS. HOW DARE YOU.'

He was an ugly af neckbeardo, who clearly took his 'i get a free pass' too seriously. I didn't buy a pass because of his cunt attitude. I did however support artist alley and convention center by buying food and items. Sorry AFO. don't employ cunts. (very unfair, but i'm the guy that kills the last player to kill me, regardless of who's winning whatever game is going on.')

Incidentally, Anyone at AFO see this motherfucker? He was wearing a gray shirt all day, and he was casually creeping, before he ran away from a party with a very drunk girl sunday morning (i'm talking slurring, lost).

Some friend of hers was livid when she disappeared, he was watching over her (he fucked up, but that doesn't excuse rapey-predator asshole)

Here's a pic. Watch out for him.

There were very few creepers at the con, everyone was p friendly besides the above incident.

AFO was fun as fuck and I couldn't really ask for more. Con was comfy once again. As a person who loves panels more than anything else at cons, it's the best place for me.

The persona group from >>9123598 hosted a really good panel on the series. Lots of fun.

I hope people enjoyed the Jojo panels Sat/Sun. Really enjoy helping get people more into the series.

Also had a good time screaming in-character at the Sports animu cosplayers and making them do training exercises.

Photo/Cosplay panel that was missing a projector and Anime Jeporady, but that one was total bullshit since people were just raising their hands before the question was even up. I also poked into the Hentai Scene It with some friends since Hentaimonogatari was full, but we walked out on it since there weren't many people.
I was mainly being an assistant to a friend of mine who was doing photos almost all of Saturday so I barely has time for any of the somewhat interesting panels. There's always next year.

I wanted to sit in on Anime Family Feud, but it probably would have been just as bad as the other two game shows in retrospect.

Pro-Tip for AFO: Passes are super easy to get if you just get involved with the event. Volunteering, paneling and more can get you a free pass for some work in exchange.

I personally hosted several panels, but you only need to host one for a weekend pass.

The thing is I WAS accepted but I didn't see the email until the day after and tables were already sold out for both AA and their crafter corner.

Then they denied artists selling prints on fabric accessories like coin purses. So if you sell anything on fabric in the AA, it'll get removed.

TBCC is controlled by a 20something girl who treats the whole con like it's her personal club so its programming slants heavily toward whatever or whoever she likes.

If you're gonna discuss this issue, get the FACTS right.

Roy is NOT banned from the Convention Center, only from Metrocon, which he used to own and run with the current owners.

The accuser (who was 16 at the time, I believe) could not even be bothered to appear to make her statement before moving. In any case, he has paid his debt to society for the incident and has a perfect right to make a living. And there are no other incidents of a similar nature since. Like many, his presence on the list is a gross injustice as compared to those who are truly deserving of it.

As for Omni itself, it's difficult to put on a good con when you're the victim of embezzlement, as well as having events announced for the same city AND dates well after your dates are announced TWO YEARS in a row.

I happen to know how much the staff respects the fan community and how experienced a lot of them are when it comes to running cons. Omni is certainly more interested in fans than many of the events that are regularly piled on here (Broder cons, Megacon, Metrocon, etc.) Those events' main concern is $$$.

I urge all anons to decide for themselves what events they'll support and attend and not believe the misinformation that regularly gets put out here.

Omni's being run by the people who originally created Metrocon back when it was worth going to. It's definitely worth going to especially if you're planning to hang out with friends not attend shitty shows or get harassed by asshole security that's more concerned with confiscating your badge or upskirting you. I'm hoping they get some more decent guests this year.

And if you're offended that -1- person involved with the event has a criminal record then you should probably avoid most large retailers (esp Wal-Mart) and just about anyone who works as a janitor or table cleaner. Felons and sex offenders are common.

I'm no friend of Roys but I've been attending and volunteering at cons he's been a part of since Metrocon and that includes ShadoCon, KhaotiCon, Holiday Matsuri, EvilCon, BelleCon, Necronomicon, MythiCon and probably more. He's also been seen attending AFO, MegaCon, TBCC, GBG and a bunch of others and there have been stalker photos of him posted from both Disney and Universal. If he was so dangerous and not allowed around kids you'd think he'd have been arrested by now.

Definitely decide for yourself what cons you want to support because if you read any 4Chan FL thread you'll think that they ALL suck because that's how this group rolls.

I'm actually excited for Mizu this year. I got to meet the new Chair (Brian?) and the rest of the Orange Anime people at Supercon this year and they're very cool and friendly. It seems like they're trying their hardest to revive Mizu. It's my understanding that Steve is just providing the back end and financial support.

Lmao ya ppl encounter more pedos at their Walmart but cry wolf when they see Harms. Guys a twig like you can snap him in half & use as a toothpick if he acts up. Florida con scene is sleazy man it has always been but it is easier to point a finger to one person to cover up the shit you're doing. The infamous orgies at Metro where the Staff fucks one another. Easy for Metro to push the fucking bad image onto Harms so they don't get in trouble. Sounds like this chick was 16 & was with this guy for a while before she decided yo let me call the police. please this sounds like the typical story of a girl who wanted to get by on perks and when she didn't have them anymore she cried oh I got abused. Give people a second chance and stop being up their asses unless you know legit they're doing shady shit then call the fucking cops on them. Don't be keyboard Warriors just call the fucking cops man. Same people who try to stir up the shit with his guy but don't call the cops they're all talk.

Like all those guests they're promising and that bullshit about Nintendo representatives being there.

I'm just wondering why they tagged Genkigoth in their Nintendo announcement. Like, $5 says it's just going to be them handing out flyers and trying to sell their splatter art pretending to be associated with Nintendo. Also if ACTUAL reps were there at such a small con it would kill a lot of business for artists and dealers selling anything that falls under their copyright, wouldn't it? I mean you couldn't hide or run from a C and D when the artist space is less than 20 tables.

Eh, they have all new staff. The only thing the same is the location and the name. But with all new organizers I'd say that makes it a completely new event. I'm actually surprised that they didn't rename it and start a new con, but that might be because of Steve having the rights to it or something.

After last year it isn't a shocker. They gained a really bad reputation among vendors and artists and I know they were emailing a lot of people begging them to sign up for a table again this year with little success. They did this to themselves by pretending all last year that they had this big successful transition to the ocean center when they had practically all but one of their guests 'cancel last minute', they lied about the attendance, they had inconsistent ticket prices, shit communication and advertising, jack all for panels and activities, no maps, no physical schedules, no signs in the building, no discernible perks between VIP and regular attendees, and they couldn't even get fucking Pikabellechu and her car to show up.

Love the way he self-promotes his shitty little con as if he's not involved, let alone the owner. If he wants people to come he should advertise the underage drinking and parties. That, at least, would be interesting.

From what I read on both sides, she sent them because they were "friends" so you know you would think your friend would pay for shit as promised. Two mth's later she calls him out and in true Yoh form he makes a video with half the info saying he didn't know how to tell her the prints were bad....after 2 mths. You'd think as a artist he would know the importance of paying another artist

HEY EVERYONE!

I am actually the cosplayer Yoh/Greg is referring to, lol. I have the full and TRUE story posted publicly on my Facebook page. (I literally also have every single conversation him and I have had as well as their partner Connie, have had in the past 2 months while this has been going on)

I am going to attach separate screenshots of my public post here since it's reading the link as spam, lol

My prints are all professionally shot and produced, Yoh/Greg tried every excuse in the book on me to get out of paying, so I blasted him. And I'm not sorry. Be professional or don't waste my time, yanno? Anywho, I'm glad at last some people on here understand that he is full of drama because all his followers are blindly labeling me as the bad guy here... even though he stole my prints... and lied... and then lied about lying.... LOL

True that would usually be the best situation but I can slightly see where the other person came from where you would think if your friend of over a year tells you they're going to pay you that they're going to actually do it. This is definitely a lesson that sometimes you can't even trust friends with money but most of us would probably think our friends would follow through

He works for Mega (and any other event he can get in to) for bragging rights then tries to use it to desperately promote his little shitfest.

I won't avoid a con I want to go to because one guy I don't like works there (Roy Harms, Tom Croom and Mike Broder being the biggest examples) but I've got no problem avoiding shitty cons because they're shitty.

Anonymous Fri Aug 26 13:44:17 2016 No.9159507

Croom is a retarded faggot with no self esteem and is pretty miserable at everything he attempts to do. He takes advantage of teenagers just looking to have a good time and enjoy a convention and is consistently holding the FL con scene back because "lol ill sue u". Dude just needs to either be banned from every con in FL or kill himself already. He's a probably one of the scummiest human beings I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

That girl who got her prints "stolen" is also fucking retarded for sending products before receiving payment. Who the hell does that? You deserve that shit.

Stay classy Florida. I love this fucking thread.

I was at Pensacola last week & it was complete shit. They had no stage so they used the wrestling ring for the costume contest, never mind that the big armored stuff could not get between the ropes so you'd hear the bitch on the mike say stupid shit 'Costume looks great, but I guess you in the audience can't see it tee-hee-hee.'

Yeah this guy has only this one costume and he thinks it should win every contest, he even told one winner that his costume was better than hers and that she...I shit you not...should turn the prize money over to him.

He also hits on women at cons & won't take no for an answer.

On one hand, I am glad its not in Miami anymore since everything out there is expensive, crowded and a pain to drive around. New location in Fort Lauderdale is only 20 minutes from me.

That's.. messed up and super rude... None likes a sore loser. I know for a fact that he has won prize money at smaller event. Apparently he had already won before that. Some contest / judges don't care about costumes that already won so they will still award it anyways.
