Ah, fair enough. The small affairs often aren't really worth going to I've found, might be worth getting on a bus. LCC's not the best convention for anime, to much hipster shit you've never heard of and don't care about, but it's good shopping, that's where the anime part of it is really obvious.

Rai Con seems like it might be pretty cringey. Its after party is advertised as a rave.

I might have to try going to LCC, but London is usually extremely expensive I've found from experience. What are the ticket prices and such like?

Yeah, I'll never undersatnd these cons that have raves and bars and stuff, doesn't seem like the type of place I would expect those thing.

Just has a look at the prices, looks like it's £15 for a day ticket or £25 for priority entry (you get in like 2 hours early) for a day (that's a preorder price, it'll go up later). Considering what I said about it being mostly hipster shit as far as panels and presentations are concerned, you really only need the one day so there's no need to stay in there, and internal transport is cheap since there's a DLR stop right outside the convention centre. It's a bit of a round trip, but it's doable in a day.

My advice is to go on a Saturday. The friday can be worth going to for the sake of sniping unique stuff, but alot of vendors don't open on Fridays and are sold out by Sunday.

Yeah. I normally don't associate raves with people that like anime and such. People going to raves here really wouldn't hold interest in anime conventions, unless they are extremely quiet about it.

Thanks. I'll have to look into it.
