Any word yet if the main website for this is going to release a vendor list of ppl soon? Trying to figure our if it's worth going this year and it's getting awfully close to November now.
I’m sure any artist coming from Japan is looking forward to that sweet, sweet ¥ to USD exchange rate. Pretty much make an extra $50 selling anything for $150USD instead of 15,000¥.
Marusan also has a pop up at Monster Patrol Toys during Dcon. Should be fun to stop by Friday before, or Sunday after Dcon.
I’m guessing the bulk of the artists from Japan aren’t going due to the exchange rate. I find it annoying as hell there has been no vendor list and it’s less than a month away.
It'll be my first time going! I'm excited. Unfortunately I'll only be able to go on Sunday. Will it be pretty barren by then?
If it's your first time, you should at the very least go on Saturday. Sunday is notoriously the "wind-down" day and is much quieter. It's shorter, and it's day 3/3 of the con. Not all vendors, but most will reserve their exclusives, some for each day, but there are also vendors who pack it up and don't return Sunday. If you can't do Saturday, at least do VIP night on Friday. That's my suggestion!
Originally I was going to go on Saturday, but then I realized that my girlfriend has a big family gathering that day that I can't miss. I figured that Sunday wouldn't have *too* much, but it's the best I can do, sadly. Next year!
