(Anonymous) 2012-07-23 06:32 am (UTC)(link)We have four very close, long time friends (they've known my husband since high school and me for the last ten years, and one of them is an ex-boyfriend I remain on good terms with) and this con sucks all the joy out of dealing with them, especially the new con head who has been left holding the bag after the last five-six years of con-political clusterfucking. But some September, our social lives will go on total hold as all the rest of our friends who are involved (ie, most of them) throw their LIVES into htis thing. Though he con will be in October, November-January will be "Burn out" and holiday ridden, as well as "post con discussion", so essentially for the next five months we'll see next to nobody, and when we do see them, all they will want to do is vent about the con to someone uninvolved.
The anime club it was originally based out of remains a pit of the worst sort of otaku; one guy's funneling extra money to his wife's cosplay contest (and if he walks, she'll walk and she'll bring all that shit crashing down-- as well as probably make off with a ton of cash) and won't get a real job (just dicks about with the con and the amvs), one guy just got married and his wife sends catty messages via the social network of choice about OMG I am ON MY HONEYMOON so of COURSE We won't be at the next meeting how could you EVEN ASK and ... augh. They're just shitty people and I have no idea why my friends put up with them.
Right now, the new on head is desperately trying not to make it a "job", but we want to point that is is, basically, their summer/fall job every year and has been for several years. We've helped out to a point, but ultimately our experience with the con is that it's miserable to try and deal with any of it, and stepped away from it for our own sanity. We don't go to the thing, we don't care about the thing, and I personally hate to wish it, but I'm counting the days until it implodes and we can finally get back to normal.
I don't know that it ever will.
tl;dr this con fucks with my life majorly for six months a year and minorly for the other six. I'm fucking tired of it and wish it would die so I could have my friends back. Also, cons are apparently toxic as all hell to run or staff.
