From what I'm hearing (from Unicon attendees) is that the con staff WAY over-estimated how many would actually be showing up. Apparently, they banked on "pony con + Vegas" a little too hard.
They're salvaging everything, but it's a mess, yeah.
I think this cements the fact that there's far too many cons... I think between Bronycon, Trotcon, Everfree Northwest and Unicon, that's all we NEED.
