Florida SuperCon in my opinion is one of the top three conventions in Florida. Well organized, good venue, and a broad range of events only cover the tip of the iceberg of what this convention offers it’s loyal fans. From the 3000 brigade’s “Super Smash Bros” show (which is a don’t miss if you’re hitting up this convention) to the Hentai Deviant’s Cafe this con has it all.
One of the things I like about this convention is that it has an 18+ aspect to it. SO many conventions in Florida it seems like they don’t want to get their hands dirty and the older audience is left with nothing to do at the end of the day. Florida Supercon has 18+ panels and events, which if you are of this age-range it’s a GREAT thing to do while the younger group is busy at the rave (assuming you’re not interested in the rave yourself).
The con’s venue location is convenient, right next to a major highway. Though the building is a little run-down and tired it offers all the space you could want which is the important.
The hosts went to Supercon 2010 and set up a booth in the Dealers Room. Everyone met new people, listeners came to say hi, networked, hosted pannels and more! The weekend was a great success and a lot of fun for everyone. For those who came out to say hi, thanks! To those we met, welcome! To those we’ve yet to meet, maybe we’ll see you at Metrocon!
At Supercon 2010 the A.A.A. Networked with more voice actors and other special guests for future podcasts, so expect to hear more in the coming months!
Pannels: The Hosts hosted three Pannels and the media from each can be found below.
Animes you’ve never seen (or heard of!) – Hosted by Mitsugi – A showing of animes that you’ve never seen, or heard of but that are some of the best out there. Due to the nature of this file being exceptionally large as a video file the animes shown were: Comedy, My Neighbors the Yamadas, On Your Mark, Future Boy Conan, and Le Maison en Petits Cubes.
The Girl’s Guide to Con-Going – Hosted by the Ladies of the A.A.A. – The ladies covered things girls need to know before going to a con, like what to pack, metting new people, dating and more. We recorded the pannel which can be found by clicking the following link, or right clicking and “save as” the file.

Traveling to Japan – Hosted by Chiaki – Chiaki covered things you need to know, or at least a condensed list, before heading to Japan. You can download the powerpoint but the majority of the information was covered through Chiaki’s narriation, so if you have questions please e-mail Chiaki though the Contact form found under Contact.

Pictures:
Scenes from the con: Even though the addicts spent a lot of time stuck behind the booth they still got about the con, met some people, and took some photos!
The A.A.A. Hosts Cosplay: Of course, the A.A.A. Hosts cosplayed with the best of them.
The A.A.A. Confessional: At the booth people could confess their anime sins and join the anime addict community. Among the many confessions were, and I… “Am a Trap!”, “Cosplay girls as a man”, “Write fanfiction”, “Stayed up till 3 am instead of studying for an exam”, and “Proposed to my girlfriend at a con.”
