My reservation got cancelled by The Hotel for not confirming, and I slept in ROOF ACCESS!

My colleagues at the Conference were egging: "Sleep is for the weak! Sleep is for the weak! Sleep is for the weak!"

Oh bofh.

MinnieMoose wrote:I went to a con. ANd it just sucked. It was called Nekocon. All the AMVs were second rate shit made with the subtitles still in most of their footage. Almost none of the guests showed up, and the majority of the dealer room was shit you coulda gotten at a comic book store for less cash. And i wasted 35 bucks for a weekend pass.
What year did you go?

Back on topic, I have no bad con stories... yet. :?

Acen 2000, the old hotel. 3 elevators. one broke, with me in it, with some 9 smelly guys straight from the game room. Unbearable. I think i passed out because i woke up on the 4th floor just outside the elavators. Then there was Acen 2001 when that guy stabbed me in the head with a pen at the rave. I was bleeding pretty bad.
im sorry, i retrect the last statment.

Well..Anime Related that would have to be AnimeExpo 2002...Who can forget the night of the contest when a riot almost broke out becasue someone got the filed order all wrong on the videos... that was the same year you had a 1 hour lineup to the dealer room, the panels kept being moved and cancelled...

In terms of absolute worst..Well, back in 1994 (around there anyway) I went to a Star Trek con (yes, a non-anime con!) where the con staff outnumbered the attendies :shock:

While the con being badly scduled does suck, I have heard worse.
From the con bard where he was traped during the katsuson snow storm.
With a guy who didn't have his valum running madly around the hotel.
