Convention
Report for Wonder Con 2006
written by Master Jedi
Wonder con turned out to be, in my opinion a great
convention. This was the 20th Annual Wonder con event.
There was plenty of action to go around, being that this
is a Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Anime or anything goes kind of con.
Just as last year, but this year the convention was
located at a new location, The Moscone Center West. There
were several hotels near by so the tired cosplayers can
get some seep in their rooms.
As with every convention there were some positive and
negative points.
Some of the positive points included, More convention room
space at the new location, a place for registered fans to
get snacks or drinks, HUGE Exhibit Hall, gaming tables, a
video anime room, a schedule of all the events, gatherings
and locations was conveniently printed out by the
convention, which really helped the fans find what they
were looking for. Great surrounding locations and photo
spots like the Yerba Buena Gardens, The Sony Metreon, all
in close walking distance. A second Annual Masquerade.
Autograph area, Portfolio Review where companies can
interview you for a job in the industry, And of course a
huge array of costumes to add to the experience.
Some of the negative points regarding the convention
included, some events, panels overlapped each other, there
was a lot to see and do, not enough convention time to do
it. The convention closed at 7pm, 9pm after the
masquerade. Too short of a con. The judging for the
masquerade took a long time. A man who called himself the
property manager at the Yerba Buena Gardens was very rude
with us while taking pictures at the waterfall, which the
security allowed us to do. The property manager told us in
an unprofessional tone to get off his rocks. We found his
tone and attitude to be very offensive.
Overall the Convention was a great success; the location
was excellent to host the convention, the staffs for the
convention were both nice and friendly. These points made
Wonder Con 2006 a great convention to attend.
