Shadocon

They cancelled the con, didn't inform people other then by taking down their website and one post to Facebook, and didn't refund anyone. Never will support this con again, especially because it's been on a downwards turn anyway the last two years.

They wanted to get to new waters as they out grew the Tampa hotels. The location last year was BAD they didn't enforce vendor staying in their area and the vendor next us specifically put cheep posters facing us. They moved again, it may be better this year the Artist Alley is back to being an alley.

I purchased a table in AA before I heard everyone's stories, all of which were bad. I had low expectations going in, but shockingly, it was worse than I expected. The staff didn't seem all that organized, no one was even checking badges for attendees, you could walk around anywhere without paying. There were zero signs showing people where the AA tables were. (I had to make my own signs to help get traffic flowing.) The maximum number of guests in AA throughout the entire con was probably 10 people. On average, there was three (or less) people in the room at a time. Almost no one was in there, most of the time it was empty. The room was small and cramped and everyone was selling very poorly. The upside was that we had power for free, so I just browsed the internet the whole time. I ended up not staying for the final day. Definitely will not attend again.
