I am finally back from ConBravo. After
taking a night to decompress, I am finally able to put my thoughts to
paper.
I had a blast. meeting up with Mike
Dodd and his ever lovely wife Blaire is always a treat. Getting to
simply just chat about work and life with him almost makes the trip
worth it. I respect Mike and see him as a mentor figure. A Batman to
my Nightwing.
Meeting with Pat The NES Punk, Clan of
the Grey Wolf's Roo and ProJared was so awesome. These guys are so
incredibly chill that you cannot not respect these guys. Also props
to Derek the Bard whom I kept on running into, (I swear man, the con
is tiny XD) Also Linkara is a pretty cool guy to chat with and was
very open to giving warranted advice.
I spent most of my time just wandering
the halls and only went to a few panels, although the ones I did go
to were great. However, I would request that the team does invest in
a couple of fans for the more AC impaired rooms.
If I have to critique the con it would
be both the games room as well as the con location. I felt that the
games Room should have divided the Table Top from the video games.
Half the time I could not hear the DM speak as it got way to chaotic.
Of course that could just have been a floor space issue but I
digress. Maybe next year there could be a separate room for Tabletop
gamers.
The second issue is the actual
neighbourhood of the con. Now the Sheraton Hotel and Hamilton
Convention Center are both very nice places, but the neighbourhood is
less then nice. I rarely ventured outside the area as the are looked
incredibly run down. I half expected I was gonna get jumped by some
thugs. Again, I am not blaming this on the Con itself, nor do I
expect them to change venue for the sake of one mans opinion.
I would like to say to the team at
ConBravo that you guys did a hell of a job and that I had a load of
fun.
