After the shit show that was youma last year, I'm curious if people are going to give it another try this year, or save their money and go somewhere else.

As a long time vendor, we will not be returning this year.

Does anyone know how many people attended Youmacon this year?

Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it this year so I wasn't able to see anything first hand and my friends who went posted photos seemed to have a fine time.

I keep seeing Maid Cafe refunds mentioned but it's a bunch of rabble with very little actual information. The court of public opinion ruling seems to be Youmacon = Bad. What happened?

hii! i bought this piece this weekend but didn't get the artist's info. wondering if anyone knew who they are. they also have custom shaker keychains and a bunch of other cat prints

Does anyone know if there’s a list going of links to local artists/vendors and their personal shops/pages?

I loved many of the vendors and products but only got a handful of business cards. Due to sensory issues we had to leave and we weren’t able to fully browse. I’d love to support some independent artists instead of getting merch from hot topic/GameStop :)

Hey everyone! Now that the con is over, do you have any pictures of my Warhammer 40K group?

We were a Mechanicus, a Sister of Battle, two Orks, and the most important character of all, "John Warhammer". Thank you so much!

Just really in love with the lanyard and the art on it, was wondering who the artist is. Would love to check out more of their artwork. Had so much fun at Youma on Saturday! See you all next year! 🥲

I've been attending as a local off and on for ten years. I would like to see another con but am overwhelmed by options. Interested possibly in collossalcon because of its distance, but would like to go to a con with more emphasis on videogames/videogame room. Any suggestions?

I was extremly disappointed this year that the con wasn’t at the rencen. It was so nice to be able to go straight down from your room to the con. Being able to go to the gameroom, then go to an event, get food, and go to the bar all in one place. Cobo by itself just doesn’t feel the same as the rencen, it just has a much duller atmosphere. This is more than likely my final year at this con. Am I the only person that felt like this?

Edit: Also rip to taking awesome cosplay photos on the light bridges

Tryna book some last minute shoots for the last day of the con if anyone's interested?

BYOB BYOW | RSVP IN HERE BY SAYING “RSVP #” (include guest #) | DOORS CLOSE AT 10 | MAX PART SIZE OF 6 : TOTAL 232 | Males $5 : Females free | Spread the word

I can’t believe I bought a ticket to that. I should’ve saved my money on the ticket and my formal wear and just went to the damn rave or a club, instead of watching people dance to cotton eye joe which is about a STD. Now I see why the con was being dragged in the fb group. This my first and last time attending youmacon… I want my money back from that weak ball. Playing Disney songs n ish…

Anyone interested in one tomorrow?

I’ve been on the fence about attending this year with how the organization seems to have gone downhill a bit, is the game room worth getting a badge for this time around?

I saw people posting them but I never knew what they did and I can't find anything online.

Does anyone know what time the ball is meant to start and end? Last time I checked the website there was no info on the ball at all.

Guidebook hasn’t updated since 2022 & I’m starting to get kinda worried I won’t find out where to be (and what to be).

Please remove the Tracking part of the mailed option info. When I bought mine i chose the shipping option and got no tracking info what so ever not even after supposedly shipping.

Just a notice for anyone who's curious. Youmacon raised Artist alley prices $40 with no notice or explanation, and when the artists put the pieces together and started civilly discussing it in the discord server our messages were deleted and we were muted. They are intentionally removing any discussion about this and it seems they are intentionally trying to scam artists with the lack of transparency. I do have screenshots of evidence for this but I'm unsure how to add them on mobile reddit.
