As promised: http://www.zenkaikon.com/general/dining.php (info on concessions as well as a variety of dining options in the area )

So what am I most looking forward to?

As staff, I will likely be running around most of the con, but I am definitely looking forward to meeting all of the attendees. I especially enjoy talking to the people who are attending their first con.

I also love to see all the amazing costumes people come up with. *wishes she could sew*

What about everyone else?

$15 for a con food meal isn’t that far off, sadly. I’d paid that much before.

Convention Fans is looking forward to attend this con as well!

Hi there!

Thanks for covering our convention! It’s good to see so many folks looking forward to it as much as we are.

Thanks to the attendee above for mentioning the correction on the prices – the previous ones were actually from our discount for pre-registering before Oct 6th.

Online pre-reg will be open online until November 4th (3 days before the con), and if you planning to attend, I highly recommend pre-registering. Memberships for this year are selling very quickly.

And although the poster above might have been worded things a little better, I will say that I have actually seen our concession menu, and it is pretty reasonable as event concessions go. I will actually be posting the menu to our website later this evening, so maybe I will post a link once its up.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing you guys at the con!

Has to be one of my favorite anime cons, its low key, people are friendly and they usually have a decent dealers room as well.

Please quote things correctly.

Tickets are not sold, it’s a membership to the convention that you’re paying for. The costs actually are:

$40 for a weekend pass (Saturday and Sunday)
$23 for a Saturday only pass
$20 for a Sunday only pass

And I don’t believe that I’ve ever spent $15 on chicken fingers and fries at a con – I really think that is a total exaggeration.
