I like how you can see during this time period furries still seeing themselves as part of the SF/F fandom. Of all the cons to break off from the SF/F community, furry cons kept almost everything near identical from the hotel model, masquerade, art show, con suite, and GoH model.

Today we will be presenting 90 Years of Conventions panel today at @galacticcamp in Panel A (CPO Mess) at 6:30 pm.

I've had the idea for a new virtual Artist Alley for artists to host their portfolios and online stores since 2019 and been holding on to this domain name for years. After seeing Moouza & 15 had a similar idea teamed up. This being a central hub and voice for artists is the goal.

convention i bought a table at cancelled the event and is refusing to give anyone refunds and just rolling their table reservations to next year instead

@PoneFluff For smaller cons it might be easier, like Anthrohio had staff running food orders to dealers last weekend, some have lunch breaks for vendors. But for larger cons hard to scale up because breaks interrupt attendee traffic and you will need a lot more volunteers to help vendors.

[Convention History 🪑 🏳️‍🌈 @ConHistory]

Honestly this is a serious issue, many artists sell alone without helpers for 8 hours straight, with no one to help bring food or watch their tables for lunch or bathroom breaks. On top of that many con centers don't allow artists to bring in drinks or food.

The objective has changed.

@sawdoffzombie @katzekeiEN It depends on con. Like for some con centers they even required all vendors put their luggage bag through metal detectors every day, ECCC was like that the one year I vended. AX did recently. Cons in the Ontario Convention Center also makes all vendors go through bag searches.

[Convention History 🪑 🏳️‍🌈 @ConHistory]

@heavymetalcorg1 Some cons have, probably is most vendors aren't as public when such situations happen as they fear getting blacklisted from a con for bringing attention to these issues. Often it is a convention center rule or security.

While often cons allow vendors and artists to bring in food and drink, often there are causes that keep popping up at even established cons where food and water is confiscated. Even if a vendor wanted to buy food in the con center, they have to leave their table for a long line.

Cases like this keep popping up with security and cons confiscating food and water from vendors and artists.

Hey @AnimeExpo what’s up with the way your vendors are being treated? Yesterday they had to wait for people to finish chatting on their phones and smoking to check in and now this.

[Champions of the Ice @ChampionsOTIce]

I genuinely miss when being a nerd with nerdy hobbies was stigmatized by the general public.

I much preferred being made fun of by normies for having weird interests to now having my hobbies dumbed down by corporate in a vain attempt to appeal to them.

These are very cool insights to a previous era.

Please watch this OVA, it's such a cool look into otaku culture in the 80's and it's super funny. I live the mockumentary parts too

[Peter² @1900petoria]

@djpyscho10646 Similarly, there's a convention named after Project A-ko that now goes by just "A-kon".

[MechaJunkieApologist @djpyscho10646]

Why does no one ever mention Space Battleship Yamato/Starblazers when this conversation comes up the first anime convention in the U.S was literally named after it
