This year is completely different than previous years
It's at a water park, and there's porn stars here
It's hard to gauge how you'll like it, but it IS a lot less crowded than usual.
If you like buying artist alley stuff it's good. They've got a pretty big gaming setup this year too

If you're referring to the Uruka and Pippa, we're not Texas Locals. Pippa's from Nevada and is currently doing a Japanese Backpacking Trip and Uruka (me) busy starting a new job. We'll be at Colossalcon Texas though. I convinced my fiancee to cosplay Panko so it should be easy to recognize us.

What's going on with this con? Not even the venue change, just that it sounds like they did a 180 with the lewd stuff. For reference, I did both Ikkicon's 2021 and Colossal Texas.

Dedicated 18+ wristbands required area on Friday night. Market with drawn porn, collar, rope, and cuff vendor, shibari clinic etc. They had a swimsuit contest, burlesque and drag show. They weren't being bashful about adult stuff but kept it to that one night block on the slow day.

Nah, they claim that but cosplay deviants has a booth in the dealers hall, there's someone selling 18+ bath bombs (which scare me. What is in it to make it 18+) and I've seen more asses hanging out at this con than all of the cons I attended last year.

Alright, con post mortem now that my post-rave aches have left me unable to do anything else.

Friday seemed reasonably well attended given the smallish venue and that a lot of people were in WIP or just lighter cosplay to avoid going through the trouble of setting up the bigger stuff ahead of the big weekend. Yokai Night was definitely a more aggressive push for dedicated adult content, probably even more than I remember from Matsuri in Houston or San Japan which both featured literal hentai viewing parties. All of this seemed very well handled overall (though I've already read reports ITT about the cosplay panel devolving into a dating/getting laid advice panel. Staff were very careful about keeping minors out, or at least seemed to be. I skipped the burlesque (because I've already seen that particular show a few months back) and the drag (because lol) and caught the swimsuit show instead. This ended up being The Play(tm) as it basically ended up being a diet strip show with less cellulite and one more exposed nipple. I remember hearing that particular contestant complaining about how it was her outfit's fault they ended up disqualifying her.

Saturday, naturally, picked up substantially. Panels were overall decent and the only complaints I heard were some technical glitches with the fighting game events and a few of the staff being a little catty about enforcing opening and closing for rooms. Cosplay quality was definitely above average and it seemed like a lot of people even made at least a token effort at dressing as something, even if that was just a cape or a demon slayer shirt. We even had a few oversized cosplayers roaming the halls so that was neat.

Saturday night the dance hall was about half full most of the time. It fairly quickly partitioned itself into three groups: the stage crowd, the circle and the everything else. I stuck to the circle and we all generally just taunted prodded and danced each other into exhaustion.

Sunday was definitely the "hangover" day. A lot less people stuck around for Sunday panels and those that did were definitely running on fumes. The panels were a little less organized than Saturday and a few ended up cascading into lateness throughout the day.

TL:DR - Overall pretty good deal. Would definitely do it again.

>here's someone selling 18+ bath bombs (which scare me. What is in it to make it 18+)
A friend was suggesting that some bathbombs of that size will contain little figures or keychains in the center that you get to keep after the bath bomb has dissolved. So an 18+ bomb would just be something like that but with T&A.
