why does my hometown hate me? POP CON LOUISVILLE ✧ artist alley vlog

[@TheDomainGPCE]

Hey! Just saw your video and also saw myself in the background right at the start! I’m the one that talked with PopCon about coming down here in Louisville and said how they really need to do a con here. I feel the problem with Louisville is that while the city says they want a con, it seems that when one actually comes here they don’t tend to show up for it as much as you’d think. Hopefully you’re coming back to PopCon next weekend!

I went to Louisville for a competition convention back in 2017 through SkillsUSA Nationals! I absolutely loved it there. We stayed at the Hilton, the one that was connected to Cellar Doors.

[@glitchbat]

that's awesome! glad you had a good time here 🤗

[@junnokoneko]

I'm also heartbroken that Louisville has such a hard time keeping cons :( I'll cross my fingers for this one though!

[@glitchbat]

it sucks so much!!! yes, fingers crossed 🥲

[@xenubin]

its so hard to find cons in this area ive noticed! Im a little further east of you, but every con we have ive noticed theyre always super empty if they do keep coming back after one year. A friend of mine and I went to conapalooza (Over towards johnson city area) and it was super empty/dragging and this was pre covid. it makes me so sad, because i want more opportunites in thsi area

[@xenubin]

oh gross yt shows comments as my deadname

[@glitchbat]

yeah that's also true! very small events even if they've been around for a while 😭 the biggest one in kentucky is definitely Lexington Comic Con, which i think is pretty decent and very lively, and MTAC in nashville is also great in this general area. i've heard some decent things about yamacon in pigeon forge too, although it was still pretty small last time i went (in 2017 i think?) anyway yeah you're very right haha... (also fwiw your display name is coming up as xenubin for me! so you either successfully changed it or it's just showing up as your dead name for you (which still kinda sucks) but just wanted to let you know :')

[@xenubin]

@@glitchbat yamacon and robcon are both on my list to go to next year!! they seem pretty decent for the area, i dont think ive heard of MTAC though! the friend i went to conapalooza with has gone to both and has had mostly good things to say about them! (And thank you LOL i figured out how to change it finally)

[@glitchbat]

@@xenubin MTAC is my fave! so i definitely suggest looking into it 💪 i haven't heard of robcon myself so i'll have to check that one out too haha!

[@monsterkittysociety]

I was really hoping this one would *decent* especially y'all could use a good local show! But alas the Louisville curse persists

[@glitchbat]

i think we might truly be cursed forever 😭

Are you signing up for next year? They just changed the dates to August 23rd-25th and they're at a bigger, better space, in the heart of Louisville according to them. I signed up for both PopCons because one is local to mine so I hope Louisville is better next year now that it's in a bigger and better area.

[@glitchbat]

I will be signing up next year even though the dates are changed! i think it could be better in August since we have a large college population in Louisville, so a lot more people will be in town during that time. i'm unfortunately not sure that the location change will make a huge difference because it's actually only like 2 miles away from the previous location, but we'll see 😅 i do like the new location more though!

[@losersweepers.]

@@glitchbat well I guess we always have that risk when doing cons haha, some are good and some aren't but that's okay! It'll be my first con straight out of highschool (so far) so I hope it'll be at least better next year than it was this year! I'm really trying to get into doing cons full time so your videos are always extremely helpful in getting information!

[@glitchbat]

@@losersweepers. yes it's definitely always a gamble! just be sure to keep your expectations very low for this one haha 😂 glad to hear the videos are helpful!

[@FandomsLady]

If you are coming to LCTC24, I promise I will be there to buy something from you! I hate that this area can’t hold cons well! It is no fun to drive out of state for bigger cons! I want to attend this event, but it is close to the same time as HCTC and matsuricon for 2024!

[@glitchbat]

i will be at LCTC! but yes i agree, cons in this area are so sad, but i'm so glad that lexington has a solid option! i'm hoping i can do matsuricon next year too but i'm sad they moved it to labor day weekend (because there are a lot of other events that weekend already 😥)

[@LCHime]

I wish I didn't live so far away from you I would love to shop at your booth in person and you can meet Chocomoose and you can bet I would be buying some stuff ^.^

[@glitchbat]

someday i hope to come up there!
