I was part of the original staff and we all knew this was coming once SPJA took over. I don't really know exactly what happened this time because we all jumped ship by 2013.

Hanadoki isn't much better, although it's fairly new. I guess all I have in San Diego is SDCC.

Here's a picture describing what Conji used to be.

>> No.8772474

>>8772258
OP here, same.
I'm a local, and until last year (bc Hanadoki) Conji was my only chance of getting out of my NEET life and hang out with some old friends.

Now I just have to corral everyone to Hanadoki I suppose.

Conji had room for improvement, of course, but tell me what other con in San Diego is better.

>> No.8772776

>>8772474
Most of my friends have said Hanadoki is better but it's a small convention that was super unorganized this year. Of course it is new but Conjii just felt like it was a lot more social? I dunno, maybe by some miracle it'll get it's shit together next year but I am pretty bummed about Conji if only because it's just the fun little local con I'm used to.

Same! :( Have you looked into doing AA for Hanadoki Con?

>> No.8772795

>>8772778

I looked at it but honestly, I'm not feeling it. Maybe after another year when it has a bit more experience under its belt. I think I'm going to try for Anime California and PMX instead.

I'm kind of taking it as a sign that I need to wait a little bit longer before I'm ready for AA ahaha,

She's the head of Hanadoki iirc but I don't really see how she's relevant here then again it's late and I'm drowsy

>>8772776
ngl it was incredibly unorganized but it was just a first year so i'm not holding it too against the con
if it's unorganized again i'll just go fuck myself
conji was definitely a real social con though i gotta agree and i liked their new location a lot better than the town and country

9 years straight hopefully going on my 10th. its not impossible it just pain in the ass nowadays by anyone standards, tho I will agree the majority is mainly normies.

I would give them a few years to see if things shape up. We need a new con, Conji was dying, and not everyone either can go or don't want to go to Comic Con. Besides I work near Qualcomm Stadium so heading down to the con is a short drive away.

As a whole the spja is almost to zero sum if not already there, especially after the revenue boosts from 2014's 80k and 2015's 90k attendees. Pretty good considering they were at minus 1 million after 2010. Whether a shitty conji would trigger the IRS is another thing but the AX side is killing it. Who knows, maybe they'll start running a surplus again (not like they need it because AX is going to turn into sdcc at this rate)

yes, with experience hanadoki might improve, but it definitely needs to address a lot of issues before it shapes up

I've never been to Wondercon because I'm a cuck who can't drive up to LA, but considering Wondercon is the bigger convention, I think it's better off then Conji
