This was before this years' ACen. You need to put in a request for next year.

Pretty much. All hail the zombie forum.

Perhaps folks have other things to do.

Personally, I'm thinking about MomoCon as well. That con is going to grow quickly and has a wide range of things it covers. It's the people, not the con, that keeps bringing me back to ACen.

They've gotten big enough to where they'll pretty much run it the way they feel like it. If the numbers *supposedly* keep going up, and I don't know why, why would they even bother to listen? ACen's main hook is around music/dancing now.

I guess that explains why AM was running a new con in Columbus last weekend.

Same here. We try to make it as painless for the staff as possible but I can only do so much when facing the prospect of the long trip home ahead.

Very good idea indeed.

Well, we finally made it back to the Hyatt this year after last year's debacle. Everything was great from the placement to the level. Only minor gripe was that we had the one hotel room that was up against the exhaust of the red bar. Open the door to the glorious weather and after 4pm, it was food smell. Lots of food smell. At least it was tolerable...unless you were hungry.

Needs more music guests and DJ's. /s

Weather was amazeballs. Probably the best weather I've ever seen for ACen front to back.

It's more of a challenge now. The forums have essentially gone extinct and you may not want the masses of a facebook group showing up. I was just slightly late myself.

The guest list reflects where the con is putting more of it's efforts into. The con has evolved quite a bit over the years, for better or for worse depending on what you are coming to the con for. If you are in for music/dances, you're pretty good. I bet somehow the con shows an increase in attendance. It doesn't feel like it though.

Sure wasn't my room.

We'll get them in March. I know of no other con with announcements so late. May be the nature of a volunteer con.
