Sakura-Con and Updates

Well, another Sakura con has come and gone, and sadly-this was not a good year. From organization to missing guests to overpriced hotels, to my car getting scraped in the garage-this was not a good year. The best part of the con for me was the japanese guests (incredible-Nightow, Hirano, Minowa, Kurata-wonderful people, so kind and very professional), and the fact that I picked up an incredible Skuld and Noble Scarlet cel from Asylum.

So yes, I finally updated. I had a reason to right? So many things...I swear I will never wait that long again.

But as I reflect and update, I really wonder about cons. People want so desperately to say they are for the fans, by the fans-but it gets to a point where volunteers just can't do it anymore. Look at the san diego comic con...the best run con in the country. And all professional, with volunteers. Why is that model so "evil"? I would have gladly paid more to avoid all the hassels I had this year, from my friendly "fan run" con. But what do I know, I may just be a wee bit bitter.

Let me go look at my pretty Skuld cel...that makes me feel better :)
