EDIT: K17, will be back at the Gaylord, despite the rumor that they tore up the contract and told them to get lost. Like the saying goes, "Screw the rules, I have money". XD

ReplyDeleteThe Navy Formal ball people paid to attend the Rave (to my understanding). They had as much right to see the con (in formal wear), as you or I did. I do agree with the rest of those thoughts though.
ReplyDeleteHey Redneckotaku, if they paid to be there, then that's fine. But most of them were being horndogs, drunk, and feeling up on chicks HALF THEIR AGE.
ReplyDeleteI'm still not certain where to begin with this trainwreck of a con...
ReplyDeleteIt's like everything that could go wrong converged into one big mess. And being that the DC Metro system isn't the NYC subway is all the more frustrating for those people that are used to transit running a little bit more on the reliable end of things...
Whoever thought that having a Christian Conservative convention going on right next to an Anime Convention should be fired.
ReplyDeleteShould have proofread that...
ReplyDeleteWhoever thought that having a Christian Conservative convention right next to an Anime convention was a good idea, should be fired.
It seems bad, but then again this is par for the course for Katsucon.
ReplyDeleteVery good point, DJRanmaS. I hope the ones who didn't act like gentlemen were thrown out. This is coming from the Son of an Army Sergeant.
ReplyDeleteAnd I good sir am an Ex-Marine. *dap*
