Last year I wrote two questioning posts about my experience at VCON 40. VCON 40 and VCON 40 Revisited. Now that I have had a chance to digest my experience at VCON 41 it is time to put what I saw into words.

For starters, I must say I enjoyed myself. It was a good con consisting of an eclectic mixture of panels that made deciding what to attend next a real challenge.

In a similar vein my wife’s craft table produced a nicer profit than seen for a couple of years.

Attendance was still down. Whether less than last year I can’t say for sure. For the first time since I noticed the trend I even came upon a group of regulars discussing this very issue between panels.

I must also say that the volunteer they had in charge of social media did the best job of getting the word out before and during the con I have yet to see.

All in all, VCON remains my goto Fan con of the year and we already have our Dead Dog tickets for 42.
