Hopefully major crowding issues will be taken care of now that we can afford a larger venue. As for purchasing foodstuffs outside of the Dealer's Room, well, given the popularity and positive feedback that we received about the Maid Cafe, there have been some whisperings on the staff about expanding on that concept. There are certain limitations that the convention is subject to based on the requirements of the hotel. The hotel wants their guests to spend money on expensive hotel food, so what and where the selling of food is limited.
The staff will definitely look into it!

Dealers selling Pocky and Ramune and such is pretty much to be expected. I'm no expert, but I think it's a good way to pick up some extra cash since such things are 100% guaranteed to sell xD
When we were approached with the Maid Cafe idea last year, Katrina had to really work things out with the hotel to allow it. When we heard all the great feedback about the Cafe at the feedback session at the end of con, a few of us thought we might try and find a way to incorporate is into the actual convention instead of being run as a separate booth. No guarantees on that of course! But you all have spoken and we'll see what we can do.

The only complaints that I've heard about it was that there wasn't enough of it xD I don't think they were expecting to do so well...

i understand the difficulty of the dealers (playing nice like adults is a bit much to ask i suppose) but i will say a larger room is needed. This years products were very nice, but next year find a place where we aren't inhaling eachothers hair or body odor, or armpits. Not to mention that room got HOT. I will say easy access to pocky is a must, unless you want a riot ^^ love you nick! This is becky btw ^^

This is becky btw ^^ Like I said a few posts ago, crowding issues should be curbed by our newfound ability to afford a larger venue. And with a bigger room we can accommodate even more dealers, with a lot less stinky armpit smells.

I sort of found it amusing having to ninja kick my way through the crowd in the dealers room. I did have a whiffel bat you know... But a bigger room means the possibility of more dealers which means.... MORE ANIME So Im all for it.
