Katsucon is a state of mind, and today I am here to transport you. Basically I returned to the convention I’ve been attending for the last thirteen years (eleven, minus panera time) and decided to not just do a normal ‘con blog’ but instead take you on a deep dive of my hottest take, most precious memories, and worst goofs about this legendary and complicated event. Katsucon is one of my favorite places on earth and also represents so much of what’s wrong about con culture. So we’re going to talk about all that, and we’re going to talk about the decade it took to get us there. I am profoundly sleep deprived as I type this because I have been pushing SO hard on this edit, so uh I truly hope you like it!!
