I just want to know who does your web site? OH MY GOODNESS!!

[Emotiongear]

Thank you guys for all the kind words, I am very humbled by the compliments. The entire staff has been looking at this thread and their inspiration level is at its highest.
We know that we have a lot of work ahead to make all our attendees happy. We wont rest until we see the smiles on everyone's face.
All our guests, events and panels are from the fan's wishlists. We went through every post and sculpted a convention that would make almost everyone happy. We will always listen to our fans because ultimately, the attendees are the ones who make the convention what it is.
At anytime, please do not hesitate to call on me if you have any ideas or suggestions. This is why I am here.

We receive almost 50 emails a day asking who our band will be. It is in our best interest to keep that information for just a while longer. But I can say is, we might run out of space in the concert hall.
If you havent pre-registered or booked a hotel room, please do it now. Its already getting hectic.
Finally, we have one more guest to announce, Quinton Flynn will be joining us for 2009. MANY people requested him, I hope this makes all his fans happy!

I'm totally going for the musical artist. x3 I couldn't be more excited! Second time seeing him ♥

I know for sure I'm going as Reno from FFVII:AC, but I haven't decided on costumes for the other two days...this is gonna be my first con. I'm thinking Kurama from FFH, and maybe Ruki from the GazettE.

Just to add more support for this convention, AM was the best con I attended in 2008. The location is wonderful, the staff is incredibly nice, and for what you're getting, the prices are incredible.

On a note unrelated to the convention quality, if any of y'all are familiar with Tales of the Abyss, I'm bringing my whole group of 15+ cosplayers to AM09. We're looking forward to having a blast at this con, and we'll be in ToA cosplay all Saturday, so look for us if you're a fan of the game!

I'm going as Katara, my husband as Zuko, and my friend as Aang. (Or another character, which she hasn't publicly disclosed yet.)

Hmmm... I'm not sure attendance alone is an accurate way to measure whether a con is popular or successful. My idea of a bad con experience is packing too many people into too small of a space, overpriced food, overpriced parking and waiting for elevators.

My understanding was that YuleCon wanted a fairly small con this past year. Looking at photos from the competition, I would say there were between 42 and 50 cosplay contest participants. Most of the cons I've attended have rarely exceed 70 walk-ons. I plan on going back this year.

I think Anime Matsuri's attendance was over 6,000 last year. Beautiful location, free parking, lots of food options and the elevators were a little better than average.

Anyway, just like people, each con seems to have its own unique personality, and there's something to find likable in each of them.

20 people? O.o
Haha, rest assured you will be happy with this convention. I can't really say anything that hasn't been said before or that I haven't already said, but I encourage you to come to Matsuri this year if you've never been to one. The facilities are beautiful and the staff is most kind and helpful. They always have a great lineup of voice actors, a sweet musical guest, and a ton of panels. ^.^
A bunch of people attend as well.
You should check out their website- its organization speaks volumes of the con itself: http://www.animematsuri.com

And you of all people would know how much location matters! ^.^
'Just letting ya know- my group will be hunting you down for a few photos this year if you don't mind. You're just so talented.
