For this little adventurous Dane, I'm not lying when I say that UppCon was by far the best convention I have ever had the opportunity to visit. They may eat unimaginable amounts of fish and eat most of their dishes cold, but heck, do they know how to make things fun. Aside from my overnight and unheated place to sleep, they had every must a convention needs: the natural chaos before showtime, cosplay, contests, crowded areas and blocked doorways, karaoke, a Super Mario inspired café, an entire building floor dedicated to games stretching in variety from the old grey-box Nintendo games to DDR, Taiko and painfully overrated Super Mario Brawl.
Truly, my respect lies with the team behind it all. Some mastermind even managed to lure out a rather large group of hikikomori, offering them a PC, internet and quite possibly the darkest room in the entire building, thus creating the perfect enviroment for the hastily growing, but shy, socially deranged species of mankind.
