Pro's

• A small subsection of the city was at the disposal of the event, even though things were at a distance, they were reachable in a short span of time.

• Because I arrived Thursday and left Monday, I was able to enjoy the event in its entirety without feeling like I was in any sort of rush from direction to another, there was always something for me to do.

• The events, from the MFY photoshoot to the Fursuit Parade, were well spaced out, no major rush to do either of them.

• Was able to meet up with a lot of friends and faces again and for the first time, and I got to see the better side of folks.

• Since I had two footholds in both the Omni and the Courtyard, I was able to help other folks out with being able to attend, while being close to the DLCC and Westin for everything going on.

Con's

• Had some bullshit go down between me and the staff over my rough housing with the sword play (might delve into it.)

• Got to see some people's true colors (and not in a good way.)

• Audio equipment with my camera began to mess up (discovered that it's an actual issue with the camera's audio input itself versus the shotgun mic.)

• Was caught between two rooms, which created some complexities.

Revisions

• Will either contest the policies of the event (or quite frankly just do my business out of the sight of the staff.)

• Appreciate the people that treat me nicely (and distance myself from those that don't.)

• I might need to get repairs, or a new camera/camcorder, to compensate for the issues with my Sony A7.

• I need to stick with one room and one room only for now on.

Overall, Anthrocon is an amazing event, and if I can get the issue swordplay/rough housing squared out, I could definitely see myself returning when I get the chance; also to note, it seems to be an exception from the entire "on-site hotel only" rule I have in place for myself, it's nice to see exceptions~

I give from my experience with this event, a 4.5/5
