Re: TF Con 2014 reviews/ Report
A great show and good to see all the regular peeps, meet some new ones and get to know better those I have seen for years and never really spoke to much. The con felt very huggy this year, lol. Maybe I should post the hugs in the hauls threads too.
I didn't really get to as many panels as I wanted or circle the dealer room endlessly. I spent a lot of time talking to a few of the dealers, which was quite enlightening learning about their backgrounds, etc. I think at the end of the day if we remember that we're all people and be chill things will go great.
One suggestion I will make is if at all possible eliminate or minimize tables for the dealers. Offer an incentive if a dealer has a booth kind of set up, I'm not sure if there is an actual rental fee for using the tables from the hotel but if there is it might save some peoples some money all around.
I really liked the booth style set up Kal and his buddies at Premier Toys had. It was like walking into a store (music playing too) and I really enjoyed not being in traffic or having people behind me or trying to get past or push me while I looked around. I think a set up like this will give the con lots of room for growth with out having to leave it's location. They also had sweet deals on those Impossible Toys Tetra Jets for $20 each for the last 4 Dirge, Ramjet, Thrust and Sunstorm. I have his card so I'll give him a shout and pick a few of those bad boys up.
Other than that an awesome time once again.
