It’s not like you’re jumping into a massive con as Jar Jar with a “Free Hugs!” sign around your neck, (zombies are respected on some level). The activity is inclusive; it’s most likely the biggest group cos-play in which you will ever participate. Zombie costumes are also cheap and hard to mess up, making it a great beginner’s project.

Since Sukoshi means "little bit", it should be no surprise that we are a small con. Our goal is in fact to be the con that you go to between the larger cons that you attend. 200 attendees was what we pulled in last year. This years attendance number was 350. Happy vendors, Happy staff, and Happy attendees. This was one of our best 1 day cons and we are returning for year 3 Oct 2012. Thank you to everyone that proved that Mobile deserves a Anime Show.

I cosplayed, took part in Box of Doom and enjoyed the panels and shows. Though small, this con has fun and knowledgeable people who put a lot of work and heart into making this a fun event. The potential for growth is here guys! Let's all support Sukoshicon and bring it back next year! I hope to see it grow into a 2 day and 3 day con one day!
