Haha yeah that was me, wore that to AWA as well.
The Marisa idea would be really cool, there definitely aren't enough touhouvania cosplays in the west.

ZUN was absolutely chill and very friendly. Definitely one of the best con guests I've met, up there with Asakawa Yuu. Shame you missed out on awa. Even though cons aren't usually his thing I really hope he comes to one in the states sometime again (or at least that Reitaisai thing way up in Montreal, lol). That's incredibly awesome that you got to be in the scroll project though, his reaction to it was such a great thing to see!

On a somewhat related note, anon, I'm in a little touhou skype group I met at AWA with folks from various states. Chill chitchat aside we organize rooming & transportation for cons and for the most part are devoid of weeb, spaghetti, etc. Went to my first Katsucon with them and it was awesome. No pressure, but if you're interested I put my skype in the email field. Lol, wouldn't surprise me if one of them sees this since some of em are seagulls.

But yeah I think MTAC's dealer room seemed lacking because between 2011 and 2013 the con doubled in size, growing way faster than it could handle. Before moving to downtown the dealer room and con itself were still pretty small. Seeing a doujin vendor there for the first time last year was a nice surprise for me personally.
It's basically as if MTAC is going through puberty. Once it can better adapt to the attendance growth spurts it had it can be a much higher quality con overall. This year's new venue will be a good chance for the people in charge to stabilize everything so it can keep growing at a reasonably steady pace.
