smithers456 Axel-Coded This is a new con in the Rockford Illinois area. This will be its third year. This is one of my favorite cons because of its size and because of how many people you meet there. It is from December 26-28th this year. I plan on going this year again, and I may be staying down there. If you live in the area I would highly recommend going to it. it is a very cheap con as well. If you have any questions I may be able to answer some of them, if I can't then the website may have the answers for you - http://animeapocalypse.org/ Thanks Axel for letting us know about this con. Please share some of your experiences that you have had at this con. For instance your likes and dislikes from it. Even though I personally live in Michigan I'm curious about this con. smile
Some of my best experiences from the con have been being able to participate in Hetalia panels, meeting people who love a lot of the same fandoms as me or who follow me on tumblr, and getting to run around the con with my friends for my birthday.
Things I like -
I love the price for it, it is a 3 day con and you can get a weekend badge at the door for $35. That is a lot cheaper than most cons.
I love how friendly everyone is. Whether you are in the same fandom or not everyone is nice and will stop and compliment cosplayers or take pictures.
I love the foam sword fighting they have, the people who run it are the nicest people ever and they love to crack jokes with you while you are battling. I was France last year and we kept making surrendering jokes XD It was great.
Things I dislike -
While I like how it is a small con because it is still new and growing, the space is getting a little too small for the amount of people who come. The artists alley and dealers room are very small and packed most of the time, but they have amazing things inside of it.
Another problem with it being a small size is the gaming room and video game room, they have plenty of games, it is just they aren't always interesting to play.
I also dislike the part of town it is in, there isn't very much around the hotel other than some business buildings and a few other hotels. It is right off of the highway too. So the con is pretty much contained to the hotel most of the time. Even the McDonalds is a little ways away so if you go you have to either bring food, have a car, or eat the free rice and ramen for the 3 days of the con.
At the moment I live in Michgan as well, but I will be home in Wisconsin for Winter break so I get to go to the con. If you ever have the chance to go you should take it. There are a lot of things you can do at the con and you'd have a lot of fun smile
If you have any random questions you can ask me them and I'll try to answer with my experiences or with my knowledge of the con. |
