Is it time to throw in the towel on this horribly disorganized and downright dangerous joke of a convention that GCR has become?

>Chance to dunk on Mike Broder noticed
>Chance taken
This fat fag used to run the biggest con in my area and sold it off to an even worse owner, who immediately killed off the two smaller, much etter cons that came with the deal. Now it spinoff con is poised to overtake it this year. Good riddance

Also fun game: look up anyone involved from a niche voice actor to a huge celebrity on Wikipedia. There's a VERY high chance the picture used in their profile was taken at a Broder con

Yup, It was absolutely the worst con/event I've been to. Not exaggerating, it was that bad.

Found a post after gooling that explains what went down here.

I would not be surprised if some class action lawsuit occurred because of it. They completely ripped people off on Saturday, especially to those who had a purchased photo OP.

the same queueing around the building for hours on end shit happened at galaxycon austin last year, but i was willing to give them grace since it was their first year in texas. but seeing this makes me think it's a larger management issue and they're just leaving their staff in the dark. i'm so tired of corpo sellout cons.

It was totally unsafe and it seems they did not learn from their lesson last year as it was 10x worse this year. They over sold tickets for maximum profit, even prioritizing it over safety. Fuck these guys. I can't believe they allow these people to manage such events.
