For me its not what's avalable so much as how many people are attending. See, I USED to attend Sakura Con in Seatac, then it moved to the Seattle Convention Center & tripled in size. Large convention means: *Can't find your way around. *Might not reach events in time. *Lines are 6 times longer, event may be full before you get in. *Bunch of assholes hogging seats for seguinte stage event. You know how Twilight fãs ruined Comic Con a few years ago? naruto fãs ruined the last Sakura Con I attended. It was like some kind of conspiracy. Well, here's some stuff I remember from events: * Bring a couple hundred dollars for the merchandise floor. Everyone's selling the exact same shit. *You can buy doujinshi, art books, soundtracks, boxed set DVDs, UFO Catcher Dolls, themed hats, messenger bags, plastic figurines, die cut keychains, imported candy, etc. *Concert; Jrock or Jpop. *Sometimes voice actors & mangaka attend & let you ask questions. *Bring a good camera for the cosplayers. *Don't wear highheels. *They don;t have lockers (retarded), so don't bring anything heavy or bulky. Come in costume if you live in the area. *It's best to fine an animê fãs online meetup to find new friends if none of your friends can attend with you. *Don't bring food, there's restaurants nearby. *Even antisocial people learn that it's no fun to go por yourself. *They have art shows, but who can afford that shit? *They play GOOD AMVs in a minitheater, they had to be screened for quality. *There's usually a couple of rooms where you can play video games. *If your phone has an event scheduler with alarms & GPS, you're probably going to need them. *Bring a printout of the convention center map.
