Howeird said Anime had plenty of great costumes with a huge turnout (≈20,000)
and he took lots of pictures. Said it was worth full price for just the two
weekend days.
Mo followed on saying that she and Dann co-hosted bringing Wendy Pini
to Anime this year and she loved it. Mo says they’ll need more panels for next
year. Artist alley had 300 tables.

BayCon Reviews:
Josh: Meh
Dave C.: Attendance and sales were down for Cargo Cult Books. He
enjoyed the parties.
Kevin R.: Further Confusion had a hoppin’ promo party with an Aussie
theme; too bad everyone thought is was for Aussiecon 4
Mo: Disappointed with fire alarms and people with disabilities were
treated. Sarah followed on evacuation was better than Fairmont.
Stellan said BASFA party did very well.
John O. said masquerade had 19 entries with 16 novices and it worked
out well.
Fred said the art show did okay.
Chris said on the inside it was chaotic. Fanzine lounge was done by
Jean Martin. There was a lack of signs at the beginning. Attendance was 1947.
He had fun.
Adrienne: Worth what she paid for it (free).
Dave G. said he stayed at the Hilton where rooms had functional drawers
and doors and it was ver nice for $98 p/n.
We did auctions.
