The ones you are talking about skye are in Columbia =/ nobody likes that and it was mainly anime con's from what I know. AND YES OF COURSE there is booze.
I'm not a pathetic nerd >.< and oobs, its great! You get great con gear and get to meet some famous people from video games, movies, comics, and so on!
I'm so excited to say that finally SOUTH CAROLINA is gonna have it's own con that is similar to Dragon*Con!!! I just wanted to post this up here in case any of you might be interested in going or curious about it!
