Went in costume to my first "major" convention this past weekend in Houston and was sorely disappointed. The venue was incredibly small, no lively atmosphere, and bland due to the lack of participants and staff not building up the magic of the of the day. I had planned on going all weekend, but under advisement of my wise wife, was asked to go one day and gauge the experience. Upon walking in we needed only to say, not show, that we had tickets and were allowed to proceed. Weapons check was much simpler than I had anticipated even though I was armed to the teeth as Deadpool. Overall the floor was small was easily walked in less than an hour. The rest of our time was spent taking pictures with those who asked to snap a shot with me and my beautiful other half. We will not be returning to this event in the future and was wondering if any of you knew of a good large comic convention in or around Houston where we can attend next year and make up for this disappointment. This was my birthday gift this year, and my wife feels terrible that we did not have a good time after all of the planning and working on the costumes. Please let me know if you know of any good conventions around here and hopefully I will get to meet fellow cosplayers there.
