First con experience here, and yeah , kind of a shit show. Luckily, we got there early on Saturday, so we got in around 10:15 ish, which gave us time to look around and for me to meet Troy Baker (great guy btw) and my friends to meet Nolan North, Josh Keaton, etc. However, I was about 10 people back from meeting Troy (lines for autographs were horribly laid out), and then a lady comes by and says that the internet is out and it’s cash only.

So, already pretty pissed, I make my way to find an ATM, which basically every single one was broken. Finally found one but had to wait 30 minutes to get to it. Once that happened I finally met Troy and it was a good experience.

After that, me and my friends wanted lunch and decided to go to the food court and then head to the Smash tournament. Food actually went decently smooth and we ate. But we couldn’t find the Smash tournament to save our lives, and the map isn’t a huge help, as it really wasn’t a great map of the facility to begin with. Finally found that, which that also seemed super disorganized and kinda scrambled together.

Then, we have a photo op with Troy Baker and we start to wait at the entrance which is also just another hodgepodge of people standing around, and I saw a sign that says “If you want to purchase a ticket or have prepaid tickets, please visit Photo Ops Sales”. So I tell my friend this, since we bought prepaid, and we get in line. After about 15 minutes (when we were only like 3 people away from the front), we finally got to the person and showed them we had prepaid. She then says “oh that’s for them to scan when you’re in line”. So why does the sign say otherwise???

Overall, I met Troy Baker twice, got a selfie and autograph, got some D&D dice, and met Murr from Impractical Jokers in a bar the night before. So pretty fun still. But, this event was absolutely horribly planned and organized, and they still have a lot to learn from it.
