2017: The Con in Review
The 8th Annual Cardboard*Con was held on Saturday, March 4th, 2017 and was largely believed to have been the best Cardboard*Con ever! This year’s event saw an influx of magnificent Japanimation videogame type style costumes that made everybody go, like, “woah!!”. Like, for real. Did you see the pictures?? Did you follow us on The Cardboard*Con Official Instagram Page???? Our Con Suite won a Fielder Award for Sci-Fi conventions, the only convention in the southeast to take this coveted prize! Our history of corrugation panel was standing room only. SO. MUCH. CHEERING. Another popular Atlanta convention asked all of our guests to sign an agreement to NEVER mention their convention while at our convention because of a fear of “guilt by association”. Jealous much??? There was a marked decrease in chafing this year, thanks to the new “MoistFold™” cardboard products coming out of New Zealand and due to improved bathing practices by our attendees. Take THAT Dragon Con!!! Our guests spent time posing for photos with attendees – it was pretty rad.
Notes
- Gummed tape was confirmed “not edible”.
