It’s all well and good that we have a local convention that’s gaining some traction, but fuck me; the way people go on, you’d think Fan Expo moved from Toronto or something like that. The only satisfying thing about Hal-Con hype is when it ends. —Staying in Their Hole

WOW. Really?
You’re probably one of those people that complains about how dull Hali is or how it has no culture or individuality or self identify or fun.
I think it’s great that our fantastic city is able to host, promote and get excited about events like this, and the buskers, and the Jazzfest and HPX and the Tall Ships and every event that comes here. Otherwise this city would be as dull as you living in your mom’s basement. (please stay there btw so we can enjoy our city)
Someone’s Princess Amidala costume was better than someone else’s!
So it’s good, but not that good, so it’s no good…
Was at Scotia Square last Saturday and all I saw were a lot of obese people in crummy homemade costumes chowing down in the food court. It was like a convention of Comic Book Guys.
