| Other people with more legal knowledge have said it's unenforceable. It's all fucking awful. People who make their living off convention art generally, you know, go to different conventions every week. There's no reason why one single convention can force artists AND musicians to only play at their thing for the month, especially because they're not salaried employees and they don't guarantee money. Artists pay the event for a table?? Why do they have to pay for not being able to do other events too??? | Other people with more legal knowledge have said it's unenforceable. It's all fucking awful.

| Guess how many of the above paragraph's grievances you can check at this event?! Heatstroke, overpriced tables, water shortage, dangerously hot outdoor weather... and add racism, refusal to accommodate disabled people, NOT TELLING ATTENDEES where the artist alley was so people lost money, and just a huge history of mismanagement and making artists vend in worse and more expensive conditions. | Guess how many of the above paragraph's grievances you can check at this event?!

| | IDK I attended Galaxy Con Raleigh last year and it was just... part of my art depression shit. I had fun playing video games like Guitar Hero at the game part of the convention. I didn't really hit up any panels I really liked. I heard some events/panels you had to pay extra for on top of the already-expensive ticket price (I think it was like $50-80 for a day lmao). They had advertisers shilling fucking, car insurance and shit for no reason. The Artist Alley made me depressed cuz it was gridcube sensory hell where the artist is behind a speakeasy hole in their maximalist 5000 prints covering the wall setup and you can't see or talk to anyone. Everyone's was stock was basiclly just plastic keychains from Vograce probably, so it really stood out when someone had handmade items or zines and comics or something. |
