Just a topic here related to anime Conventions:
Animethon, the Anime "festival" here in my City is on it's 11th year. Last Year I ran the AMV contest as with this year. This small festival has grown from all anime viewing rooms to offering pretty much everything a con does minus the guests. The big issue is that up to know the event has been free! But with last year 2500-3000 people attending, the costs are getting to high to keep it free and there is discussion of charging something like a $5.00 cover charge to the entire event, or just the main events room, and even talk about doing it for events themselves (A bad itdea in my opinion i.e. direct charging to get into the AMV contest!)... The event basically features: Drealer room, panels, AMV contest, Cosplay, video rooms, Artist Alley, Display room....
So what do people here think, I'm looking for some feedback to take to the individuals here
