>>2125Thoughts from someone who actually went to Touhoufest this year (first time)
<Because Vocaloid naturally leans itself into performances, there are already some amount of fan run Vocaloid concerts in way that never really existed for Touhou<Touhoufest only manages to just about break even each year, and does not have a massive amount of outside funding<Touhoufest is actually a lot smaller than people realize, especially day 2 which a lot less people go to since the big events are on day 1<However it is growing yearly<While there has always been drama surrounding touhoufest, I have not seen it directly reflected in the way the con is run, and multiple people told me the staff has fixed issues they complained about in the pastFor an independent vocaloid con to work, you'd need a lot of connections to pull it off. Producers, artists, DJs... along with enough people willing to put up the money. It's clearly possible, it would just require a lot of work. Something of inspiration besides the aforementioned mini con would be Miku Only NY earlier this year, which i did not get the chance to visit but will almost certainly go next year if it's run again.
If enough people here put their heads together, perhaps we could get something off the ground.
