I figured I would go ahead and whip up a post of my absolute approval of this convention before this thread becomes a hate-fueled orgy of drama.
Location: Was lovely. I was impressed by the decorated trees and how the main event hall and game room was set up. The dealer’s room isn’t what I was used to…considering I’m used to MegaCon big. The artist alley was my main complaint. It was wedged along a narrow hallway which frequently got congested when people decided to cluster for pictures or linger and BS with each other. Also, the windows in that narrow hallway made it uncomfortably warm when the sun was beaming against it.

I attended the Peppermint Parlor and the Maid Café. Those were the highlights of the event in my opinion. They were uniform, professional looking and served as great entertainment. They had choreographed dance numbers and singing with burlesque dancers.
I managed to attend the Cosplay contest and the Benefit Ball (Toys for Tots donation thingie). They know how to entertain their customers and make the situation less uncomfortable. The Benefit Ball started off with three songs… everyone was shy and only a few people danced in the designated area. But I appreciated that they broke the ‘awkward prom setting’ by having one of the event helpers dance on the stage (he had great moves) and they played the normal ice breaking songs like the Cuban shuffle and such.
And I know this Convention had no control over the type of people who decided to attend… but I was blown away by the amount of quality cosplayers who showed up. I wanted to take pictures of almost everyone.
My complaints would have to be the panels that were available. I can’t think of a single one which entertained me. They were a bunch of ‘Improv panels’ with the ‘character impersonators’ answering questions.

Everything was overpriced? Explain.

And if I hosted an event I would want to make sure people actually paid to be there and weren't just milling around. I know MegaCon used to be VERY disorganized and didn't keep tabs on stuff like that... they only checked wrist bands for the dealers room. Who would honestly pay to get into an area to spend more money? A convention is an experience. You shouldn't be allowed there to enjoy he immersion without paying.


And don't say if you had a convention you'd be perfectly okay with people just hanging out and attending panels you put a great deal of effort into without having those moochers pay.

Highlight of my Holiday Matsuri venture was the Holiday Costume Contest.

One of my friends had been in the contest and was sitting with all the others and one of her friends wanted me to give her a bag with some socks in it to give to her for later. So I approach the staff on the side while Traci Hines is starting her performance.

Well, long story short asking "Is it alright if I give this package to my friend? She was a contestant and she is sitting right there." translated to the staff "I want to give this package to Traci Hines" So for the next 10-ish minutes I'm standing there with my friend 5 meters away while these guys want to inspect the package, which was just socks, by the way. And someone who is supposedly her husband giving me something that I would equate to a death glare.

"Sorry, bro. Flowers and stuff are ok but we're not sure about socks."

"Wait, who do you think I'm talking about?"

It would have been awkward but in the end we all had a laugh.

Con goer here who ACTUALLY went to the con, To be honest, yeah it was a small con.. yeah the dealers room did not have much and it was mostly craft made stuff.. but you don't HAVE to spend your money at every con you go to, it usually is easier to order online.. the whole sakura's costume being all cheaty face thing? I liked her costume and it had some awesome details, but supposedly the whole thing going on is that her mom helps her make the costumes.. and yeah she did enter both contests and won both.. holiday runway and the costume contest, but now think about it, Yaya was going to be there as a judge and she had to cancel due to a death in the family in china, so they were scrambling last minute to find people.. the only irritant I had the entire time? people who think its fun to run around the con halls late at night blasting music and screaming along with it, I know you guys are having fun but, be respectful to other panels that might be going on.. I know its a small venue on the other side where they had artists alley and whatnot but you guys could have seriously gone outside..

HOMESTUCKERS.. you guys are quite nice actually, minus you have a slight problem of making a bunch of mini groups in the halls and tend to form clots that I had to sidestep to get through, i'm guessing its just the certain characters from the series but a few of you were slight assholes, but most of you are tolerable, so thumbs up for that

Other thing about the con? Jack Frosts.. Jack Frosts.. everywhere.. I hate to say on how easy this costume will be to make.. but this will be the new L

anything else? The hotel staff were awesome! the free breakfast was ok, and I loved how easy it was to get food that it was either a brisk 5 minute walk or less, and there was a walmart not a 3 minute drive away! great venue holiday matsuri.

I had a great time at the con. My biggest complaints were the homestuckers more or less clogging the hallway and the small little outside sitting area that, other than the mass amounts of ponies and homestuckers, would have been a great place for photos. Other than that, the con SEEMED to run rather smoothly (despite having to scramble for last-minute staff for contests because the original host/judge either couldn't make it, or decided they didn't want to do it at the last minute).

The only thing that truly irritated me was that there was such a huge discrepancy between panel times/locations on the website and in the official con guide. My group and I spent a lot of time advertising for events that we then had to go back and change the time for b/c it had changed on us. But despite being a small con, we got good crowds and really enjoyed the weekend.

The con was okay I guess.

If you think about all the new cons that have been announced in FL for the past two years (FAE, SwampCon, UmiCon, SukoshiCon, Khaotic Kon, BelleCon, WasabiCon, KnightroKon, etc..), this may have been the best new one. Not that may be saying much.

The costume contest looked kind of lame since a lot of entries were entered at other conventions. Some of which had even won awards already. Also I normally don't mind Homestuck, but it was really out of control here. Half of the convention was HomeStuck. The con and hotel staff seemed friendly enough, but I can't speak for the actual organization. Nobody bothered me.

The random girl was probably my friend and I. We were informed by the person at the contest sign-up booth that the Holiday Costume Contest lineup was at 7 and was told to tell everyone else that seemed festive that there were changes. Mind you the changes were told to us like 20 minutes before the lineup. We shouldn't have been the ones telling people, that's what con staff was for, but we were nice enough to tell people who actually really wanted to be in the contest what was up. The fact that there was no communication and it was poorly run is no big deal really, it's their second year and it was a tiny convention in my eyes. I just think people who take this shit so seriously (for the judges and prizes we're getting) need to chill the fuck out.

The Pokemon costume contest was the same, and no big deal either; it was running late as well but I have no complains other than the categories. How the hell I won the smart category I have no idea. There were no indications in how anyone really won (like craftsmanship), and it just felt like a sympathy handout just because I made my own costume and my friend's costume by hand days before the con.

TL:DR the con was okay and everyone needs to chill the fuck out.

Anon I want to see cosplay pics of you in comparison. If you are tearing apart this quality of costume you'd better be in the finest of garb.

All I see is a simple costume highlighted because it's on an attractive girl. It might not look as great on a fattychan/ugly chick.

Or maybe your cosplay crafting is just subpar? Either way... if you can't back up your claims dont jump down someone else's crafting skills when it's apparent there was a distinct effort placed in the outfit.

Adding on about the hotel part, every staff member I ran into was very friendly and very interested in what was going, some even asking about particular costumes they saw around. Of course there were those particular con-goers that make me facepalm, I even gave the hotel attendant an apologetic look while sharing the elevator with these kids.
Overall, I liked the con though I only went on Friday. Pic related also, I cosplayed this version of Rise on Friday.

Oh! This brings up a good point!

I only had pleasant experiences with the staff members. One of them noticed me and a friend discussing the map/baffled and confused looking for an event and the staff member nicely pointed out where it was and sent us on our merry way.

For the Maid Cafe I accidentally arrived an hour late and started to worry that they wouldn't let me in... the event organizer just smiled and handed me a ticket with no qualms about it.

The hotel staff was EXCEEDINGLY nice.
Me and my friends were guilty of being a little too loud on the balconies at a late hour (unintentionally, mind you) and the woman who seemed to be the head of hotel security asked us EXTREMELY NICELY to quiet down a bit.
Like probably the nicest hotel staff I've ever experienced.

I liked the fact this con was close to the holidays. Call me a romantic but I've always wanted to attend 'holiday themed' anime events. I wish there was a Halloween convention so there might be scarier costumes. Or so I can see lolitas in orange/black outfits etc.

That's funny though people should say about Sarah Boo, she's gonna be part of a cosplay group of Kore Wa Zombie desu ka with Alouette, GothTea, and some guy whom FL con people know..

We prefer to remain nameless for now. But to be frank, we've met Sarah before and she was really nice. I mean, if she's been in a mood, maybe it's because of other factors.

Though, she has a wide amount of creepers/stalkers, maybe she's also been crabby about that. (Shrugs)

Though, this whole thing about Sarah reminds us of the time someone posted Vic Mignogna in the cosplay section...and wow, truths revealed galore.
