Florida Supercon

I attended Florida Supercon which is an anime, comic book, blah blah blah geek show all rolled into one this year. It was held at the DoubleTree Miami Mart near the Miami Airport. My wife and I decided to see what it was all about since we're anime fans and unfortunately it was super lame.

The first part of the lameness started by paying $5.00 for parking. I already paid for tickets, the least the place could do was include the parking fee in the ticket price. The next part of the lameness came from the venue. The DoubleTree Miami Mart is not the best place to hold any convention. It looks run down and dirty and it just didn't seem right to hold a convention there. Most of the break out sessions weren't all that good either and the anime they were showing was only ok, nothing earth shattering and most of the anime didn't have ROBOTS!! I mean WTF??

There were a few bright spots. Some of the merchandise they were selling was pretty cool and they were selling robots! haha! There were lots of posters and artists and there were speakers that were pretty decent. The one that I went to was the one with Bruce Campbell who happens to be Sam on Burn Notice. He was really funny and answered a good amount of questions about his career and stuff about the show Burn Notice. There were also some pretty cool costumes too. There was one dude dressed as a Bob-omb and the costume was HUGE. I don't know how he was able to fit the thing in a car. There were the usual school girls and even wizards from Harry Potter but I didn't think they kinda belonged. Oh well. That was my first and last supercon. I'll stick to rock concerts for my entertainment. Watch for the blog post about my concert experience in West Palm this past week! Booyah!
