Hey There!

Im relatively new to Cons and have only just been to my first one (ever) with this most recent Anime Impulse Con.

Anime San Diego (not San Diego Anime Con, I guess?) Is coming up in a few days and I have seen very scarce information around it.

I saw they mention having 400 vendors, which gets me super hyped because I love supporting self made businesses, but not only does the map they publicly released look waaay too small to hold 400 vendors, ive seen maybe only 5 or 6 vendors post their shops inventory in anticipation for the event. (Which with Anime Impulse, I saw tons of artists posting their inventory to advertise what they had so that people would visit them)

Is this event a scam? Are they hyping it up too much? I havent found many people talking about it at all, and I'd hate to waste a long drive plus money to be a little disappointed.

Has anyone been before and could tell me what it's like? The website is also in English so I wondered if there's English signage and if the event staff can also speak some English? (sorry if this sounds ignorant it's just not the first language of the country so worth asking)

while I am going to look around at the artist alley etc I am making this whole trip to see Nightmare perform on the Monday and Tuesday, travelling myself and have forgotten all my high school Spanish so I'm a bit worried about not being able to find where exactly the band will be performing and when we'll be allowed to queue

At least it's not until December so I'm sure there will be more info released closer to the time
