Omegacon is closer to an elaborate farmer's market than your usual nerd convention. It's like a few hundred people in the woods playing games, but they're not even drunk when they do it. So like, what's the point?
Jon St John is too important to go to Omegacon, relatively speaking. You generally want him to come to your con, not because of whatever he'll say at any panels, but just because he's great to party with.
But as noted above, there are no parties at Omegacon.
(I mean, not to rag on them or anything. Maybe it'll get better over time. But it's really not worth it to drag yourself out into the woods for Omegacon right now.)
Fortunately, this year they went back to a hotel venue so I got my drink on. Voice actors and YouTube personalities tend to be the best newer conventions can get as guests. Jon St. John is a pretty awesome con guest because he's down with hanging out with other con goers. I know Omegacon wants to definitely be kid friendly, but they definitely need to appeal to the "adults" aside from dances/raves with disconnected DJs who don't understand they need to appeal to the weebs if they want people to actually dance. There was apparently a MLP dance thing which I wish I went to but it was like 2AM just to see how cringey it would be.
