is anyone else thinking this will be their LAST NYCC?
The guest list this year is so sub par, on a SATURDAY panel, they have "The Adventures of Captain Cocoa". that's a ZOO mascot. Also, on their main page, they are promoting no name 'sexy' cosplayers as main guests. And by 'sexy', I mean women with fake attributes in costumes that look like they got bought off a K-Mart Rack. That weird Ivy doomkitty who probably shouldn't be wearing skimpy costumes at her size, and someone by the name of 'holly hocks' (porn name if I ever heard one) are two prime examples.
Also tired of this New York Super Week thing. That STar trek panel should have been in the main NYCC lineup. Instead, you have to pay an EXTRA $174 and go to a different part of the city to boot. heh, even funnier, imagine paying that just to see patrick stewart talk, and then find out they announced he was doing a panel anyway this saturday for the price of a NYCC ticket?
Finally, the WEIRDEST new change....WRISTBANDS are now required for main stage events? I'm not sure if you need one wrist band for each panel, but if you do, imagine first waiting in line for the con, THEN waiting in line for an hour or two for your wrist band, and THEN hanging out by the main stage door for another hour, hoping you got back in time to get to the front of the line.
I also heard they may have changed how the autographing works, but I'm HOPING it's a no hastle, just wait in line until you get there scheme.
The problem with a con getting too big, is they get dumber. it's already so crowded that you feel like cattle, now they are just making itm ore confusing.
