The con season is now underway, opening last weekend with Supanova! And it was the biggest one I've ever seen.
Saturday was packed, you could barely move inside, and outside was no different. I think this sudden increase of attendees would have been due to the big name guests like Christopher Lloyd and George Takei. But Supanova had rearranged their usual set up, which helped ease the crowds.
I know a lot of table and stall holders were disappointed to learn that the celebrity signings had been moved to a separate building, as a lot of sales come from people who only come for signings but check out the stalls on the way out. But in my opinion, Supanova made the right choice in separating the celebrities from the exhibitor's hall. The exhibitor's hall, as I said before, was packed full, I can't imagine how worse it would have been with people waiting in line for signings as well.
Supanova also seems to want to grow more, with Popcultcha and EB Games having massive stall space. What this means for the artist alley, I'm not sure, but I hope they don't begin ignoring the smaller artists, because they're a core part of the con and the community.
The convention also changed up access to it. Instead of being able to hang around outside without a pass, you needed a pass to get into Supanova's area of the showgrounds. Not only did this stop people loitering without passes, but it also made it easier to enter halls as you didn't have volunteers constantly asking to see your pass.
The second day was a lot quieter. I could actually browse the stalls without being pushed along by the crowd, it wasn't unbearably hot inside and out, and I got to see some of the celebrities walking around. My only complaint about the second day was they attempted to make and entrance only, and ext only door to the exhibitor hall. I wouldn't have a problem usually, but they started doing it halfway through the day. Though they gave up quickly.
My other complaint would have to be ticket prices. I know they've upped the prices because it's technically a three-day pass, but hardly anyone goes on Friday. Nothing is set up, the only thing on Friday is buying tokens for signings. I think they need to make the weekend pass a two-day pass, and then add an extra pass for the Friday for people who want to go.
Anyway, enough of what I thought of the convention, you're here for photos!

Hulkbuster suit. It was massive and awesome!!

I had been following Lisa's WIP shots of this cosplay, and was so excited to see it on person. It is amazing, and Lisa deserved the 1st place she won in the cosplay competition.

I didn’t realize this was Scod until I got home and took a double-take at the photo. I’m kind of disappointed that I didn’t realize it was him, because I really like Tripod’s work and would have liked to let him know. Oh well, he and his daughter were adorable anyway!
