Final Thoughts:

I personally attended this con last year, and it was a blast. The Kalahari has a Fireteam Raven machine; the con itself usually has some fun panels as well as a costume contest and quite a large vendor area. Please also understand that this con is more anime focused, and due to being at a resort has quite a few cosplayers wear "Swimsuit" style cosplays that may not be appropriate for all audiences.

See you all there! I will be rakshasaing it up saturday but SluggZila is tentative on her armor plan or just her mountain tiger jersey, and while we do not have a photoshoot planned, I have a buddy coming in from madison who offered to do some photos for us that does good work. So we can find a place to do that Saturday when he is available.
The convention hall isn't gigantic so we will be able to find him when needed.

I will be there Thursday night through Sunday afternoon.
I went last year, and it was a pretty good time. The panels are a bit lackluster, but I really like the concerts, Masquerade (though last year had some major drama attached), and the swim up bar is always a good time. The Saturday "Rave on the Waves" is a bit weird since all the lights are on, but I intend to spend the entire time at the bar and hot tubs anyway. Looking forward to seeing Kazha again, and I'm planning on checking out the formal ball. I'll have to pick out an outfit that fits the dress code this week.

I'm bringing a small army of Cosplays. I actually need to add my Shinra Guard to this because I am doing a photoshoot for some FF7 characters on Saturday. Haven't made any updates to my Mark IV recently, thankfully this Con isn't the sweatfest that DragonCon is so I'm not terribly worried about the fan in my helmet being hit or miss right now.

Also attached is my CCN flyer for my photography. If anyone is looking for some photos, I've got some time early on Saturday (before 11) and most of Sunday if you're looking for a shoot (I usually do 30 minute shoots), otherwise just tag me in the Discord if you just want me to snap a few quickies somewhere on the Con floor (I won't charge anyone from the 405th).
