Texas thread died about a week ago or so... RIP, not OP of the previous Texas thread but the anon that had revived it briefly in October. Meant to revive it again this month in-time for it to reach 1-year-plus status, but had totally slipped my mind and was already too late by the time I had noticed... oh well, let's try this 1-year challenge all over again, shall we?UPCOMING NOTABLE EVENTS (for the next six months):Anime Frontier - Dec 12-14Ecchi Expo - Dec 12-14Ikkicon - Jan 9-11Ushicon / Komoricon - Feb 6-8 (both in Austin, Komoricon happening on Feb 7 only)AnimeVerse Houston - Feb 13-15WeebCon - Apr 3-5Anime Dallas - Apr 17-19Otaku Odyssey - May 8-10Riverwalk Anime - May 23-24A-Kon - Press X to Doubt (World Cup will be in town during Jun-Jul)Discuss topics about Texas cons here, including ones that have have happened recently such as Anime Impulse Dallas.

>>10964928OP of the old thread here, once again thanks for taking care of our kid while I stepped out to buy smokes. I noticed that the old thread died but didn't feel like reviving it since /cgl/ is turning into a board for zoomers to farm engagement judging by all the new threads that don't use the existing generals. I was gonna ask why Dreamhack was left out, but I looked it up and turns out they can't get KBH center for the next few years due to rennovation so that's lame.>Anime Impulse DallasWas that the one where the entire con is a dealer room? I remember speculating several years ago that cons might devolve into just dealer rooms where there's also a rave, I guess the future is now.
>>10964940thats the funny part xdd
>>10964940And KFC moved its corporate headquarters to Texas earlier this year, so we be doing some sharing with Kentucky. Whataburger is still headquartered in Texas last I checked.>>10964944No problem! I wanted to see the day a Texas thread would turn a year old and still be on the board, unfortunately, it didn't happen this year, we got so darn close tho.>DreamhackI actually forgot about Dreamhack (never been but remembered when it was in Austin for a time), but it's interesting to see it leave for a similar reason Dream Con did when it left Austin to be in Houston. The Austin Convention Center is undergoing renovations as well.
>>10964944Anime Impulse was super mid with dealer/artist alley focused, and the after party was a walk from the KBH. But I did see an veteran from A-Kon holding the Nina Tucker poster which was super nostalgic! If anything my favorite thing from the whole convention was the cosplayers that were there.
>>10964928>A-Kon - Press X to DoubtCan people fucking give up on A-Kon already? All they're doing is jerking each other off, living in their former glory days. The claims on their return are greatly exaggerated. No angel investor who wants to remember their glory days is going to give them a million dollars to return. It's about to get a lot worse in DFW before it gets better when it comes to anime cons in the region.
