From last month, this has changed.

Professionalism is lacking on their part, since I did not confirm cleaning.

When the sales lady asked how everything was I politely said, could be better, you don't have any 2xl, and her response was "that's not gonna happen!" I have literally been to 50+ dealers as I like to hit them everywhere I travel. Please see below pics of how I came in wearing a Harley shirt, hat and carrying a Harley bag. I have at least 100 Harley shirts, 8 leather jackets, boots gloves...the list goes on. Obviously she doesn't know that or that I also own 9 motorcycles, 2 are Harley's. Overall, this is the worst Harley dealer I've stepped foot in. Order some shirts, and don't have an attitude because you can figure out how to do so

As others have said, this convention is a mixed bag. While it does have the promise of bringing…read moretogether lots of of your favorite actors, actresses, and writers in one spot -- it really is very commercialized. If you don't intend to pay for pictures, memorabilia, signatures, etc. the appeal can be quite limited as this isn't just a place you can walk in and take lots of great selfies. What helps to counteract this though is the great fans of these franchises who really make the conference fun. Probably worth a visit at least once in your life, but not exactly an event which needs to be attended every year. Make sure you pay attention to the schedules for when certain people will appear as the most famous guests are only there for a limited time.

If you want to go to a true comic convention, one that feels it is about the comics and the…read morefans.... atleast close to how it was when comic conventions began hitting the scene... this is the one you may want to attend. I've been here as attendee and exhibitor for different capacities through the years. This year I am here as an exhibitor supporting a Game of Thrones Illustrator from Hawaii. We are welcomed with as much Aloha and are appreciative. The con has been around for awhile. The years of experience has allowed maturity to settle in becoming one if the best comic cons in the country. We decided to check in a day before the 1st day. This allows us to avoid some of the confusion that occurs when the masses appear. Also helps to correct any mishaps that could happen and do with a large event like this. The time is also used to check our displays and setups to conform to the rules and regulations, not interfering with other artists and we have a way of getting in and out. It is a well run show. Security here is not relaxed. They are very strict in enforcing their policies especially making sure attendees can get to areas where they are allowed. They do a security sweep at the end of the day which I really like. Staff is well informed and know their job. They provide a hot text line in case you need immediate attention to getting a resolution during the show. The contact agent, Alex, came by a few times checking to make sure we were doing okay and even gave us a complimentary godie bag. Inside were post its and a pen. Those came in handy. The show itself is filled with star studded actors and actresses from some of the hottest shows currently running and from the nostalgic past. Some of the best artists in the comic industry were also there easily accessible for photos and autographs, and if you had a few questions loved answering them. Cosplay, like many related conventions, is big here. Abounding from everywhere donning some of the most elaborate costumes I've seen ever. Creating those outfits and costumes truly is a work of love. Taking pictures with them was so much fun. Hence several pics of. The numerous panels held were so exciting to go to and learn more. I wish we had time to attend more. They featured some of the guests attending, some were informative on how to get started in the industry, how to do something or gain a skill, and some gave a good insight into the industry. There is money to be made in these industries people, lots of it too, if you know how to tap into it. It was great to meet fans from Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Philadelphia and Vermont to name a few. We had a great time and look forward to returning again next year.
