Chococat was my companion on Friday and Sunday, Hello Kitty on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Friday and Saturday: I decided not to take a day off on Friday, but because of my misunderstanding and a miss communication , I got to the con as registration as it was closing. Mindful of Mewcon I decide I not going to ghost the con, so I checked out where everything was at and written off Friday and went home.<\/p>\n<p>Next day I did my traditional pre-con breakfast and head out to the con hotel and picked up my badge. There was no viewing room so I sat in on a tutorial of Krosmaster: Arena by Japanime Games. Then I attended Defending the Star Wars Prequels. The host should get an award for presenting his panel in cosplay as Count Dooku. My panel defining furry was next up. I made a decision after taking to my co host last time I did this panel and paired the info do a bit, maybe too much; I petered out at the end. Still many enjoyed it.\u00a0\u00a0 Next was another reinvent panels concerning Cultural Appropriation Vs. Rule of Cool. I attended the bad trivia for bad prizes event. I tough of staying late for creepy pasta\u2019s reading but it was getting late and no amv showing so I decided to call it a day.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday: head back to the con area after church and caught Slants panel, especially I wanted to hear their take on their court victory over the patent office. Not much going on so I went to the end of the lip synch battle and then the feedback session before calling it a con.<\/p>\n<p>The good : Nice to have another convention<\/p>\n<p>The bad: too leaning heavy to Anime, lack of a video room<\/p>\n<p>The Ugly: Nothing<\/p>\n<p>While there were some hitches I still enjoyed my time at Newcon, I still have some concerns that Newcon does not become just another anime convention but multi-genre like Radcon. I look forward to Next Year.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:
