Con-G: Part One!

Hello my freaky darlings and welcome to the first half of my two part Con-G cover!

Part 1 will be focusing more on specific pros and cons of the con while part 2 will be a  basic rundown of what happened while I was there!

BTW  just in case you don't know, Con-G is a 3 day convention in Guelph, Ontario that focuses on Anime

Who did you cosplay as?: Fiona from 'Adventure Time' and a girl in a poofy dress.

How many days did you attend for?: All 3 days

Most memorable event/moment:
Attending Geek Speed Dating (more details in part 2)

Most unexpected event/moment: Actually meeting a great guy at said speed dating

Most awkward event/moment: Seeing people I know but being unable to stop and chat with them

How much money did you spend?: I think 100 dollars

Best cosplay you saw: A chubby Asian guy dressed as PSY

How many pictures did you take?: Only around 20

Least favorite event/moment:Throwing up after I got home on Day 2 (not really con related)

How far did you travel in order to attend the con?:
From Cambridge to Guelph which is only around

How sad/happy were you when the con ended?: I actually felt just fine
Demon Dalek!

What variety of food did you eat over the weekend?: A hot dog on Friday, a protein shake on Saturday morning, Chinese food Saturday night and for breakfast on Sunday (SHUT UP!) and a nommy doughnut.

What did you buy?: 2 Necklaces, a new wig for my Stocking cosplay, a Wallet (which I desperately needed), a pair of earrings,

Things you won't miss: Almost getting run over my Daleks

And finally, what did you do when you got home from the convention?:
Had a shower and started blogging!

Con-G Cons: 

  • The new space feels smaller than the last years, despite being larger
  • The large green Dalek, though awesome, took up way too much space while going through the halls
  • There wasn't enough outside locations for food
  • Not a lot of dealers in the Dealers Room
  • Not enough photoshoot locations
Con-G Pros:
  • Really well organized panels!
  • A lot cheaper than most cons - $30 versus the $60 for Anime North
  • A truly great first con for young con goers due to its simple layout
  • Probably the friendliest con-goers
  • Great time of the year: cold weather is great for a lot of cosplays
  • Great gaming (or so I have heard)
  • Lots of seating for relaxing
