It’s been a while since I attended the Summer of Sonic, but it looks to be getting bigger and better with each year. It’s crazy to think that a convention dedicated to one character would turn out so well, and crazier to think that it now holds a world record.
Yes, the ‘official’ markers of success, the Guinness World Record’s has recognized the convention naming it the first official fan event for a single character. This record was published very recently in it’s latest ‘gamer edition’ book, which gives the convention organizers every opportunity to celebrate. However they better drink that bubbly quick as Summer comes quicker every year.
But I’m sure at this rate it’ll continue to receive positive attention anyway. Here’s hoping the next conventions are as noteworthy as the ones before!
