MegaCon,
2010:
We attended the
Mega Con Comic,
Toy, and Anime Show in Orlando, FL.,
March 12-14. The show was larger than it has ever been as far as attendance. There were over 100 media guests including comic artists
and TV/Movie guests. It was a busy show for the entire weekend. On
Friday, the exhibitor hall reminded me of a typical Saturday due to the
volume of attendees already there by mid-afternoon. Saturday was just
ridiculous with so many people on the floor, you could barely walk an aisle.

The show seemed like there was record attendance again this year. If you didn't get your badge by Thursday afternoon, you had about a two hour minimum wait with the line wrapping around an entire city block on three sides. The steam punk theme was very prevalent this year including the steam punk themed band Abney Park putting on a great show to a packed ballroom. We stayed up late and saw a lot of fantastic shows, all the while taking in plenty of eye candy and consuming significant amounts of "refreshing beverages". We didn't host a room party this year, we just all hung out "loudly" in the adjoining rooms. Some photos of the costumes are posted here.
FX
Show, May 2009:
The FX Show,
short for the “Florida Extravaganza”,
started
in 1989 as a small toy and comic book convention
celebrated its 20th Anniversary this year.
It has now grown to be one of the largest entertainment and collectible venues
in the U.S.
Through
my company, CMI
Operations, LLC, I usually work the show in some capacity, either as IT
support, convention registration, or section manager. I also have a retail
booth for CMI Toys. This year, I was a
show floor assistant and my jobs entailed everything from supervising the FX
Exclusives booth, network connectivity for registration, 2-way radio
distribution, exhibitor booth support, to general task support as needed
throughout the weekend. Read

calm before the great storm. There were port-a-potties as far as you
could see!!!
