Good stuff: Chipocrite, silly end-of-con Touhou panel, seeing everyone again, tickling a dumb fairy, and Chipotle. Also definitely a better game room than last year.
Bad: Abusive admins that treated their staff/gophers like shit, nearly getting into a fight with some security guy who was apparently also harassing other staff/gophers. Also the hotel is designed pretty retardedly.
Ugly: Edible's face.
In my opinion, AnimeUSA is passable now. I'll probably focus on attending Nekocon as a fall con from now on.
I'm not dumb!
Also yea, seeing everyone was really cool. I was happy to see Jerry, and Sola, and Kilga, and everyone else :O
I gophered 20 hours at AUSA, hurt myself moving sound equipment around, and yea, the coordination was sort of bad. Lots of experienced staffers missing, lack of staff, lack of volunteer. Also had to deal with this security guy when we moved stuff on Thursday through the dealers room, because they didn't give us badges yet. Oh, they also didn't feed the gophers at first until we bitched around about it. But do keep in mind that most of the staff did all they could, and they did it well. The rest of the con was sorta cool, though I mostly preferred Neko. It'd be fun if we do this con again to organize some group activities other than the photoshoot.
Me and Kilga weren't able to go watch girls with dog ears :<
Also, the games room was pretty cool.
Also I got a pretty good shot of the Yuugi cosplayer that was present, at the shoot;
