So if you add the numbers, then you get a similar magnitude. AX just happens to be the biggest. The US is much bigger than France, so many people just go to their local convention.

It also begs the question, whether Japan Expo are counting heads or counting turns of the turnstile. Confirmation of the method of counting would be useful.

What was the ratio of kids to adults this year? When I first got into this hobby many years ago just about everyone was college-age or older. Now it seems like many of the adults have dropped out and been replaced by kids too young to drive.

That's a good question to find out. With last year and this year, I've been seeing how some con-goers seem to be getting younger and younger. And without adult supervision at the particular moment that I saw them. Though I don't think that necessarily means that there isn't somebody watching over them. Although I have to also say I did see a fair number of parents accompanying their cosplaying children.


Or, it could be...we're getting old! Shocked


Or the older experienced veterans are all "con-ed out." Laughing
Meaning, they've been to enough cons, been there, done that.

So, it's left to the younger fans who are new to the con scenes.

Wow, that's a lot of numbers.
*faints*

With me and my brother, that's just awesome we're in those numbers.

I enjoyed going to AX for the first time. Smile Not to mention the convention center was amazing. Sure hope to go back again.
