I keep hearing lots of complaints about Anime Vegas, about Venue choice and management.
I myself worked my hardest to try and make everyone happy, taking photos and looking around for things to help out with, as well as investigating suspicious characters and making sure nothing bad happened this weekend. But seeing as I had no say in the management issues, I still feel bad because apparently I wasn't around those specific areas when there was trouble, and I wish I could've helped in some way.
As for the venue, I found it to be much better than last year, especially after the Cashman 2nd floor almost caved in on the panels beneath during the Rave, but I'm still hearing complaints about Renaissance. The dealers room DID get a bit crowded in the first hour it was open, but afterwards, it was average capacity. as for Artist's Alley, it did get a bit crowded at times, but theres nothing we could do about that. As for lack of people watching the doors, we had people to check badges at all times, so that was never even an issue. The Art Alley Room never reached even half capacity and we were wasting volunteer usefulness by placing a person at each door to keep track of how many people were in.
As for me, my main importance was to watch over the Homestucks, as I am one of the oldest and powerful Vegastucks. The staff were expecting issues because of the fandom's reputation for being uncontrollable and chaotic, but I am happy to announce that we proved them wrong and even convinced a couple staff members to LIKE Homestuck, so that's definitely a plus! (although, the whole "18+ panel, but we're still gonna make 18+ jokes even after we've warned ourselves" was a bit of an issue, but nothing too bad.)
As for my Photography, 10/10 you're all amazing and I will find a place to upload ALL the photos so anyone can request what they want to made into GIFs or otherwise.
