So I went to Jackson this weekend. They had lines out of this world. Ended spending about $400 on books (don't judge me). The crowd was good though on Saturday. Got in too late to see Sting.
The one thing I don't miss... Con funk.
🤢🤢🤢
I saw some people saying that they had to wait an hour to even get in the building and then were told it would be another one to two hours before they could get into the main hall after that. AVC said it was their first time running this building and they were working on expediting it, but I guess demand was that high. I've been to a lot of AVC cons (including MS, but at the old building) and never had to wait like that.
As to Con Funk, I'm always thankful that Man Made Soap out of Shreveport does most regional cons because their booth always smells really nice and provides an oasis from the foul and unwashed.
