    Fun but slightly disorganized

    by Asuna on 9/29/12Judson F Williams Convention Center - El Paso

    EPCON is always fun to go to. This is my second year attending but my first time getting a 3 day access pass. I enjoyed all three days with my cousin and friends. Getting to meet and greet all the artist and actors/actress is always my personal favorite thing to do, even though I may not always purchase something, learning about the history or the inspiration of a character is always fun to me. I was disipointed by the disorganization and miscommunication between the EPCON staff and the vendors on the closing times and locations on where the pannels were being held. Overall I had fun at EPCON and will hopefully be going next year in 2013.

    Great Atmosphere. Good Costumes. Nice Set-up. Would have been better if all artist/celebrities showed -nuff said

    EPCON: Worth the Price of Admission

    by Anonymous on 9/18/12Judson F Williams Convention Center - El Paso

    A great show. Facility was clean, sellers had plenty of wares, and the number of cosplayers was great! Wish there were more events such as games or interactive events. Overall, go with a group of friends dressed up and stay in character during the Con. Best way to experience this.

    El Pasoans Did Comic Con Proud

    by JoeTeckie on 9/18/12Judson F Williams Convention Center - El Paso

    Good time, I was really impressed by how many locals came out in costumes, and the costumes in general were outstanding. The booth set-ups were okay, I would like to have seen some more events in the panel rooms.

    for a big event disappointed

    by Anonymous on 9/18/12Judson F Williams Convention Center - El Paso

    went to the preview day and was a bit disappointed. I expected more than just vendors and items being sold. the following day was the dame. i had pretty high expectations with all the money that went into it. it was not worth the $40 i paid for. summercon was better than tthis big event. I'll be waiting for wintercon and hope i won't be disappointed again.

    Extreme lack of organization and professionalism.

    by nicknamerequired123 on 9/18/12Judson F Williams Convention Center - El Paso

    The event had some great things it could have built on: wonderful guests, some interesting panels, etc. The lack of organization led to a lot of issues. We didn't even have programs until half-way through day 2. There was no map, no explanation of what the panels were about, and no staff we asked knew anything. All of this information should have been posted to the website weeks before the event. Even the EmCee of the event had no idea what was going on. I know people had some serious issues with the price being jacked up over triple the cost of last year, and compared to last year this declined in value significantly. I entered the costume contest and it was so poorly planned that noone even knew the prizes, if there were any, and the way to win wasn't even really figured out until half-way through. Sign-up was pointless, because people who hadn't signed up just went up anyway. You need to break it down from 80 people to having different categories: an overall (of course); when people sign up on Saturday have a picture posted on Facebook and have a winner from there; have marvel and DC category; have movie, TV shows, and comics category; have a "true to the original" category for people who made their costumes from scratch and got an almost perfect match; etc. Have all of this figured out and posted to your website 2 weeks before and when people sign up have them choose a max of 2 or 3 categories to enter. BAM. At least one hour of organized, awesome entertainment on your center stage. It doesn't take much to make the simple things really stand out, even if the rest of the event is falling apart.

    I had fun because I am a huge nerd, but was disappointed with how things where run. My wife did a panel on cosplay, (and it was great panel) but she still had to pay to get in. She also won the costume contest which was actually pretty well done, but they had no prizes for the winner. I am greatful to have one convention that I don't have to travel to, but feel embarrassed when I hang out with my favorite comic creators and they think it was a bad show.

    Good try, but more flea market than 'Con

    by BilljohnEP on 9/18/12Judson F Williams Convention Center - El Paso

    When I think of Comic Con, I think of fun and excitement. It just wasn't there at the El Paso event. The stars that made it were very personable, but that was all that was memorable. Come on folks, do it right or the crowds will stay home...
