I just wanted to thank the AB staff for putting on a fantastically run Con this year.

After last year's Con, I was really hesitant to go back again. I know many people who refused to go at all because of what happened. I only pre-registered when I heard the process was being outsourced for consultation.

I had reserved hopes about the Con going in, and I have to say, you guys really surpassed me expectations. The space was better organized -- especially the Dealers' Room and Artists Alley -- and registration was, seriously, one of the fastest registrations I've ever done.

So, I have to say thank you. It looks like you've taken a lot of care and consideration since last year. Your efforts have definitely paid off. I enjoyed AB more this year than I have since I've been going -- 2005 -- and I already decided to come back for next year.

Thank you all so much!

As someone who has been going since 05' as well, this year has been the best through registration. In 08' I stood in line for 5-6 hours and was not happy. But, it was worth it.

This year was truly amazing.

This was my fifth Anime Boston, and I am pretty sure it was the smoothest and best organized yet.

Well done to everyone involved.

I agree. :) For me, there literally was no line, and even so, I heard from a friend that she only waited for fifteen minutes- way less than the six hours from last year. This year was MUCH more organized, and all the hard work definitely paid off. Kudos to the AB Staff.

My first ever con. I was hesitant to go, because I am always rage-ing at the weeaboo, but it was the most fun I have ever had. Thank you. Even waiting in the super-line to not get into masquerade was fun! Looking forward to another successful year!

Of course, I've only been coming since 08, but hey, what can you do, right?

I saved exactly 9 hours 28 minutes and 47 seconds of time this year. Pre-registering and getting there early made me wait 13 seconds. Last year was 9 1/2 hours, I do congradulate you.

Line was fun last year, and made me a ridiculously patient person... but I was happy to not have to do it again.

See you next year! XD

My frist con and I had heard about last year so I was a bit worried and I had pre-reged. I got there thuresday at around 9:30 and didnt even wait in line. I walked in and right up to a desk and was done and walking out in less then 5 min.

You could not have made my first time any better I dont think. (someone even gave me free pocky so they covered for you lol)

I will be back for many years to come!

Huge thanks to all of the AB staff. This year was a tremendous improvement over last year's con. I had virtually no negative comments for this year's convention. Probably the best convention I've been to so far.
