@CoralSnake:
I honestly can't imagine it being even close to as fun as Afest… that convention is always amazing ;___; but I can't go to it... weeps
People seem to overrate AFest; I am not to fond of its location and I have always found the con to be rather dull (though it does have good vid rooms) It is also the only con that I volunteered for that I walked out on because the people running it were absolute jackasses….
@Crickeylynn:
What sucks about Oni IS the location. That hotel sucks! Oh well, I'll probably just hang out in the rooms anyways.
Onis' locations (at least the ones I have attended) have always been terrible….(I have been told that the first one was in a nice spot, but I wasn't living in Texas at the time of this)
@KamenRiderNeko:
Just walk around with a can of deodorant, that should keep most of them away as you walk through the hallways XD
I like visiting with friends too, but sometimes I like to wander around the convention.
Or a bottle of Febreze, both are like Kryptonite to neckbeards…. Wandering around cons is always good for freak-spotting....
@Crickeylynn:
I'd probably like walking around the super tiny hotel if I wasn't so damn claustrophobic. Being packed into a super tiny hall ways with 350974975348 other people just gets to me. That's all.
I do hope they are a little more organized this year. Please don't split the dealer's room. That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
Hope the hotel know what to expect a little more this year also.
The dealers' room is going to be inside of a larger room this year; and yes the hotel was completely unprepared to put up with the usual con shenanagins (plus the number of unsupervised teens was higher than usual - this usually means trouble)
@KamenRiderNeko:
It will be worth it, I always enjoy Oni Con, even though last year was…. eventful to say the least, lol.
….ummm....eventful???? yeah....
@CoralSnake:
sounds like Oni-con won't be worth it or the drive… luckily I'm going to visit friends this time around mostly if we get to go xDD I'm also hoping to take pictures everywhere and with everything u thought it sounds like there is no good place to take pictures. Sounds like A-Kon.
That's why Otakon was SO WONDERFUL... giant pirate boat FTW... it was amazing u but I'm still excited about Oni-Con I've never been so I want to go n_n
A-kon actually has quite a few nice spots for photo-ops….not so sure about thia hotel (my stay was abbreviated last year) but it is always worth it to escape Oklahoma for a few days just visit us con or no con....
All things aside; despite the bad locales (when the GRB is your best venue you know you have problems) the piss-poor management; and sudden influx of meme-shouting fucktards, I still hold a certain fondness for Oni-Con.... It was the first con that I attended after a long absence from the con scene (a little over 5 years) and once I moved back to Texas, it was the con that I first met quite a few of my con peeps.... This will also mark the first time since '07 that I can actually stay at the con for more than just a few hours....
