This con was super fun! There was stuff for everyone to do. Lots of panels; there was gaming; and there was plenty of awesome merchandise! And all the people/cosplayers in attendance were friendly, and fun! The con was a bit unorganized on some things though. However, the reason I have to give a 3 star rating is because of the costume contest. straight up, it's rigged! I actually met someone in the line of the costume contest who knows one of the judges personally. She said that you aren't even judged for what you do on stage; they make up their minds at pre-judging. I also met several other people who have been attending this con for a while who also told me that the costume contest is rigged. This doesn't really bother me personally because I had a feeling it was rigged, but it was really a downer for my girlfriend. My girlfriend, and I did a couples routine. This was our first time doing anything like this. She put so much into both the costume, and the routine. She was super nervous, but guess what? We killed it! The routine went really well, and our crowd response was overwhelming. We were told that our routine looked so natural, and that we had great chemistry on stage.The couple who beat us out on the couples award did not get anywhere near our level of crowd response, and everyone was telling us after how they couldn't believe that we didn't win. I understand that it would take too long to accurately judge the amount of people who entered, but it's still a contest. A contest is supposed to be judged based on what happens on "the stage." Not picked ahead of time! Bottom line, we don't mind losing to a couple who were better; that's the spirit of competition. However We don't really appreciate losing to a couple who were rigged to win. We'll probably come back for the con next year, because we had a lot of fun, but we definitely won't be entering the costume contest again.
