Sunnycon 3
This is the third Sunnycon I have attended and I already have the time booked off work for the 4th.
Its a relatively small, local anime and Japanese culture convention, although they focus more on anime and cosplay now than Japanese Culture.
This year the two voice actor guests were J Michael Tatum and Quinton Flynn.
The first convention had Veronica Taylor, Ash Ketchum's voice actor, and Chris Sabat, the voice actor of Vegeta/Yamcha from Dragon Ball Z, many people feel that they have struggled to get guests who are as popular or well known.
There was quite a few problems at the beginning of each day, with the convention opening later that it should have, so on the first day the opening ceremony either didn't happen or only those with early entry tickets were able to see it.
The venue had only recently reopened, and was in no state to host the convention, leading to some of the events and locations that were announced for the convention being unavailable. There were also a huge amount of complaints about the unsanitary bathrooms.
This year the convention was held in a giant wedding gazebo, so essentially inside a very hot and crowded tent in the carpark of the venue. This lead to many guests leaving the tent regularly to get fresh air and cool down, so essentially people were paying to sit in a field!
This year they decided to change the dates of the convention, which had previously been in winter, so the beach location was a nice touch in the hot weekend we had this early summer. But it did attract some unwanted attention by some of the cosplayers as more of the public went down to the seaside to enjoy their weekend.
