Post #KuroCon weekend retrospective now that I've slept
My KuroCon journey started with a text from Omo on June 8th asking if I could chat about cons and I had no idea what to expect lol
Within 48 hours I had emails and messages out to people trying to make magic

The con as a whole felt very smooth and I am pretty happy with how everything came together especially from the guest side, despite the short time frame. I also appreciate all the love during Asaka's panel, lol
There was a lot of quality content this weekend, but what I think KuroCon did the best was recreating the real feeling of being at a convention and rekindling that community spirit at a fundamental level
Especially want to address the quality of the fan panels, which brought back the feeling of a decade ago when I would attend or run fan panels and got to meet some incredible people. The ones I watched were passionate and made me interested in what they were presenting
Shoutouts go to the incredible guests Asaka, ZAQ, angela, Stephanie, marble, Lotus Juice, Kageyama Hironobu, Luna-sensei, Mido-sensei
All the DJs, SYA, Sumuji, @sekaipro_chris, @Doijma
@Kurotsuki and @omonomono for this wild idea and @Waveformgg for top notch quality stream.

As an honorable mention, I have to really hand it to #AOF2020 for the quality of their content this weekend. Sometimes as fans, attendees, and event organizers it can feel like panels at cons feel like 1 hour marketing presentations, but the segments felt fresh and entertaining
Most talks resembled what you would see at stage events or radio in Japan, translated well and not watered down for an international audience. And the MCs were refreshing and fun. If they've realized this is what fans want I can't wait to see what they have in store next.
