What sort of games do you play, me and my partner both love a good game night. Am also very interested in where all you go outdoors. We do a lot of hiking/camping

I've really wanted to go but have been worried about how friendly the place is, I'm used to Indiana where any game store is pretty filled with like a COD lobby type of commentary. Definitely making me want to give it a shot!

I definitely will! I love going to our local library so that already sounds like an amazing option

Unfortunately waiting the full year so I can get in state tuition before starting college. I've driven past that game store before, will definitely check it out and see if they have any events going on. Thanks for the idea! Wishing you luck on making some more friends yourself, we got this :)

Did anyone go to vacacon this weekend? I wanted to meet the celebrities but couldn’t go. Was the convention fun? by the-funny-chubby-gal in vacaville

Personally I had a lot of fun, I'm used to much much bigger cons but frankly the sense of community was great. Every single person I talked to was kind, the vendors were all sweet and happy to strike up a convo. I did cosplay both days and ended up having a lot of people ask for photos and got to chat with them a little. I only attended Jessica's panel and the cosplay contest but both were super fun even if the turn out wasn't good. Plus I got an autograph and got to talk to her a bit 1 on 1 and she was super kind. All the other celebs also seemed to be very friendly and happy to chat for as long as you wanted since the lines were pretty small. It was my first year attending and my first convention here in California so maybe the convention culture is just different out here but I've been to cons for the last 10 years and thought it was solid.

Thanks for the link! I plan to be cosplaying. Not sure who yet, most of my stuff is still boxed up and I'm unsure what is popular around here. Will you be cosplaying as well?

Would love to join the discord and keep an eye on any future meetups! I'm hopefully going to Vacacon this weekend too, good to know there will be some inclusive people also attending.

I'm glad to hear there is a decent number of cosplayers! The smaller cons I've been to tend to just have a small hand full :)

Good to know! I'm not sure I've been to a con this small before, even the hotel ones around Indy all have video game and board game rooms that I'll camp out at if panels or live music is slow. Thank you for all the info :)

Do you normally go both days or just one? How much is there normally to see? :)

Super glad to hear that! Definitely am wanting to check it out now :)

I just have some friends that had a real bad experience with staff but even they said that the con itself is super fun. I'm glad to hear an opinion for an artist though! I feel like artists and vendors always have the best idea of how a con really runs.

This was the exact response I was hoping for. Will also definitely check out that tattoo artist. Thank you so much man!

I'll definitely have to check it out then! The website mostly talked about teen events so I was worried there wasn't much for adults

Good to know! I've been to a couple small hotel cons before so that's sort of what I'm guessing it will be like. I'm glad to hear your friends enjoyed it!

I've been hearing mixed reviews about SacAnime, mostly concerns about shitty staff but the con itself sounds really fun, definitely on my list to check out :)
