I’ve never been entirely satisfied with the MCEC as a con venue; yes, it’s a short walk to/from Southern Cross for mine, but when it gets busy, it quickly becomes cramped and difficult to move around. This was well-and-truly brought home by the fustercluck that was the first Melbourne Oz Comic-Con; you legit could not move, and it was best just to find a spot & wait it out until the crowds thinned. Melgeddon from 2010 to ‘12 was never as bad, but it had its moments. (Also, for some odd reason, the ‘11 & ‘12 expos coincided with a parenting expo, and 2011 also saw – of all things – a Telstra AGM take place at the venue.) So when the venue change was announced, I was kinda relieved; no more boxed-in feeling!

It also helps that, given Supanova is usually held that the Showgrounds, regular con-goers would know where the amenities et al were. I can’t tell you what a relief it was to find a power point quickly & easily when I needed to charge my phone! On the whole, there’s more space, and even though it got crowded at points, you could duck out easily enough. It was nice just to be able to relax, breathe, and let the experience wash over you. So yeah, definitely a much improved experience compared to previous years.

Always glad when a change in the show is for the better 🙂 For me it wasn’t so great as there was no where to really relax comfortably but my main concern is for the cosplayers and attendees who have different needs 😉

In general I got feedback as well that the venue was good for those on the attending side 🙂

♥ DEAD MEN DON’T CATCALL ♥

Nor do genuinely decent men, or classy men, or men with wives/girlfriends, or in fact MOST living breathing men. The few that do? Find where their mother, sister, girlfriend and/or wives live and rebuke them over teaching their barbarian some manners. End of story

♥ DEAD MEN DON’T ADD BORING, UNNECESSARY “BUT WAH WAH WAH NOT ALL MEN” COMMENTARY TO PEOPLE’S ARTWORK ♥

Or blame shift. It’s the wimminz fault.

The Cosplay Room is a new endeavour to get cosplay events rockin’ at Geddon and we’d really love for you guys to come along to the panels running in this room and show your support, so we can show event organisers that people love this stuff and maybe it should happen again sometime. 😉

So without further adieu, I present to you the room schedule and a rundown of the events going on. Any questions, feel free to send us an ask and we’ll sort you out.

And please like, reblog, share – let’s get the word out!

(If you’re having trouble reading the schedule with Tumblr’s image compression you may have better luck on our Facebook page here.)
