I didn't get to go this year... but apparently the 'types' of attendees have changed.  I nearly died laughing when I read this press release:

http://www.gencon.com/2006/socal/press/releases/2006.12.07.Press.aspx

Pay close attention to the last sentence of the first paragraph.

 :o  ;D  :o  ;D

For those that can't get to the link, here is what it says:

GEN CON SO CAL 2006
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SHOW

DECEMBER 7, 2006 (Seattle, WA) – For the fourth consecutive year gamers descended on the Anaheim Convention Center for Gen Con So Cal, the West Coast’s largest consumer gaming convention. Over 72 exhibitors participated in the 4-day event which brought out nearly 18,000 enthusiastic attendees to participate in the Best for Gays of Gaming!

Now that is a funny typo!  Just how close is LA to Frisco?

That would be why "Vampire: The Closet" was so oddly popular.

VeezCon products:  Not as good as if they had been actually produced by a real figure company, but better than using your shoe to proxy with...sort of!
