The crew behind the Maine Comic and Toy Con have been running somewhat successful conventions in Bangor for years. Unfortunately, as time passes it's become clear that they have no idea how a convention becomes something more than a pay-to-enter shopping mall with Hollywood stars... and don't care to learn. This convention was poorly designed, poorly advertised, and poorly staffed. To sum it up, they need MORE. More staff to direct and interact with con-goers, more advertising to bring more people in, and more going on during the convention to keep people there all day. You could browse the entire show floor in an hour... and if you don't care to wait for a photo op, play a video game, or go to a star's panel... that's it. Half-hearted PA messages begging people to go stand in line for one star or another doesn't cut it. Look to PortConMaine for an example of a Maine convention who "gets it," and has so much going on at any one moment it would make your head spin. Unless these guys shape up, this will be the last convention they put on that I care to attend.
