GOOOOOD AFTERNOON CABBAGE CON!
Mayor K-K here. I’ll start with the hard stuff.
I don’t know if there’s going to be another CabbageCon. I am forever grateful some of my people took on the responsibilities during year one, but there were a lot of difficulties, and the attendee numbers this year reflected that. Low numbers means low coffers. I wish cons didn't cost money, but they do. A lot of it.
There is hope yet – someone else might take it, or I might win the lottery, or some mysterious Beifong-like benefactor will give me a large sum and not ask for it in return. But the fact is that 2024 was likely the last year for this wonderful little con. Thank you, first and foremost, those who stuck by us this year, who were generous and trusting and gracious and fun and good. I have the best attendees in the world.
Thank you to my guests, Tranquil Ashes , the face and host of this con, and Cricket Leigh, the voice of Mai.
Thank you to Not So Super Cosplay, the Confused Greenies, Rachel Schumacher and the voice recording studio – between the three groups there were more than a dozen hours of programming, all of it incredible.
The White Lotus Quartet was one of the most special things I have ever seen at a con.
Thank you to Erin, who absolutely crushed it at marketing, not just at the con but this whole year
My staff in general was incredible, as they are every year. You’re all welcome to any of my future events, and if this is the last one, I hope we see each other again.
Granger, my programming director, and Ruby, my registration head – your efficiency and proficiency throughout the long hours we all worked at-con were above and beyond. You are quite literally priceless.
To all the Cabbage Council whom I haven’t mentioned so far: Em, Rebecca, Joshua, Drea – I have never had such a deep bench.
Alex and Lindsay. When I was considering cancelling the con last year you saved it, giving me the gift of one more year of doing this thing that I love so much. I will never forget that.
I do believe friendships can last more than one lifetime. Whatever happens, I will carry all of you with me throughout this one and the next.
