Thanks for sharing. I got a lot out of watching this. I was getting lots of third hand accounts this weekend. We were supposed to go and enjoy the con as regular guests but we were also up for providing a bit of coverage if things were interesting. That said, super glad we didn't go. I would have been a cranky miserable mess dealing with the heat and seemingly horrific air quality. I also never let my girlfriend suffer in situations that I can't stand so we probably would have left quickly. I would have been livid if I paid for a hotel and would have fought tooth and nail for a full refund. As far as the 21+ stuff, I was hoping for some interesting content aimed at adults but also glad it didn't turn into hentaifest. Sure, we are very sex positive, but adult panels can end up just feeling dumb. We were very disappointed that the panels seemed lackluster and shallow when they were announced. Even worse, the panels that we were interested in seem like they were cancelled before the convention weekend so that was a big loss. That said, I wasn't excited about Shenanicon for the 21+ content, I was excited for a con that was 21+. Not having to deal with a lot of the kids and the bucket loads of drama and noise they can and often times do bring to the cons was a huge draw. Sadly from what I've heard no one was checking IDs and some kids did make it in. I hope they are able to make a true 21+ event to keep the kiddies out and try their best to get in better programing. It would also be nice if they looked for some nerdnite thinking man panels to cater to the adults. My biggest issue with the convention was and still is the allowing of vendors to deal out of the hotel rooms. It just screams disaster in the making and I would NEVER stay at a hotel that allows that. It's my understanding that the con just didn't have enough room to fit all the dealers and cons that were needing table space. That's just bad event planning. Even worse, having all the vendors operate on all the floors scattered about is just insane. At the very least keep it to a floor but instead, like you said, you would had congoers going to every floor looking in peoples windows in the hopes of finding vendors. That's just stupid. From what was said at closing ceremonies this seems like something the con is going to continue to do in the future and I cannot at all be ok with it nor promote it at all. I took down my videos & shorts where I was pushing the con because it's just not OK with me. Hopefully they don't do the same thing with DerpyCon this year. If so I'm just going to stop going and speaking so highly of them. I hope they come back even better next year and either the hotel bs gets fixed or even better, they change locations. As is, I'm not excited about having to go to that location for a con. The many, many issues that I've seen and heard about the space makes it seem like it's just not worth visiting at all. That your room was as bad as it was is beyond inexcusable. Anywho, thanks for sharing. I'm glad you had a decent time in the end. Happy Friday.
