    1.96 MB Floatacon 2010... at SEA? Anonymous 07/20/09(Mon)23:11 No.1981645  
    Does this seem dodgy to anyone else?

    http://floatacon.com

    http://www.animecons.com/events/info.shtml/1901

    I didn't bother investigating much further than finding that the organizers are not a registered corporation in Virginia (I dare you to repeat this search -- you will encounter the most hilarious web user interface I have ever seen!) ... and the webpage is a redirect to a subdirectory off of some shitty travel group that does hiking tours.

    Does this sound like an even remote possibility that it's actually going on? It sounds interesting in concept, at least.

    pic somewhat related. Photographer needs a better lens, badly. A 25mm prime would serve nicely.

    Very dodgy. There was quite a hubbub about it a few weeks ago when it was first discovered.
    It's basically going to end up being coordinating a bunch of animu nerds on one cruise. But the prices are bullshit.
    If it were a decent price with a reliable organization behind it, I'd be up for CON ON A BOAT.

    i've had this very idea for a wile know but doesn't seem practical. it could be fun but there isn't really any large open space on a skip for places like a dealers room or artist alley. and i don't find the idea of cosplaying wile on a couple day cruise appealing, i don't know why but i just don't.

    I think that a cruise convention has the POTENTIAL to be fuckwinawesome, but would just wind up being more trouble than its worth on both counts.

    A con on a boat is a terrible idea, just like having prom on a boat was a terrible idea. Fuck you high school.

    The best part's the non-refundable cost of coming. Comes out to like $400 or something? Additionally you get penalized another $100 for a no-show.

    The first thing I thought when hearing about Floatacon is this: Are you serious?

    But if it really works out well and if it's getting more registrations, I might come. I have never been in a cruise ship before, so it will be a unique experience for me.

    I love cruises =D

    I'll wait a year and see what the people that go say first..

    The first thing that came to my mind when I checked out the website was "Wow this seems like a scam". If it isn't, good luck getting people to pay $400+ for a con and if it is, I pity the people that fell for it.

    Either way, it looks waayyy to fishy for me to even think about going.
