As the title says, here are a few bulletin points of a few things that happened during my experience at Youmacon 2012 this past weekend:

- Getting my pre-registered badge took 3 hours of standing in line with because this year someone at Youmacon decided to use QR codes as a process for picking up pre-registered badges yet only had about 6 computers to scan the codes despite how there must have been over 1,000+ who pre-regged. I'd feel pretty bad for anyone who experienced this that only pre-registered for one day.

- What was also really annoying for me was how there were very few to no schedule pamphlets after standing in line for so long and because of problems with wherever was in charge of printing them out, they didn't get anymore until Saturday in the AFTERNOON. I dunno, I guess there's just something about a convention taking place in two different buildings with events spread between them that might make some people who don't have a smart phone that they'd want some kind of pamphlet to pull out so they can easily find out what's happening where at what place.

- I saw Wreck-it-Ralph two times. First time on my own, and the second time with two friends of mine. It was a neat film that is pretty much the video game equivalent to Who Framed Roger Rabbit or Toy Story.

- Two Brony panels I attended were "What the Buck?!?" and "Equestrian Emissary" that were pretty funny. I actually didn't see too much of "What the Buck?!?" but what I did see was rather funny, and "Equestrian Emissary" was a rather great panel that I felt showed a good side to Bronies or people who like Friendship is Magic but don't label themselves Bronies.

- Convention Advice: When going to an autograph session, sometimes it is better to not get there early and just wait until the line is much shorter.

- I high fived Todd Haberkorn before he left for his airplane flight home.

- Scott McNeil is an amazing guest to have.

- Fox's Fantastic Four movies look like The Avengers compared to the unreleased New Horizon trash heap of a film.

So, I still liked what I experienced this year despite how big the problems were. I'll try to post a few pictures I took soon.
