Worst Con?
Anime Boston. It really just has the worst fucking people.

Most dreadfully boring/depressing con I've been too is "New England Comics & Collectibles Extravaganza!".

So, first year, I think it was March of 2017. It was held in the former JC Penney space in the Hanover mall. Get in, kinda dingy, but it's not bad, see some friends, the venue's pretty full of dealers, I grab a few G1 transformers for really cheap, got Taco Bell afterward.
Fast-forward to the Winter one, and holy shit; the space is, legit, 60% empty. There's barely any dealers, all the dealers are selling genuine garbage, everyone there looked miserable. The only bright spots were having Jennifer Cihi sign the mag of my prop AK, hi-fiving the girl who played Cally on BSG and talking shit about the last season with her for a few minutes, talking Soviet MilSurp with a mall Santa (pic related), and getting a sealed pack of Soviet cigarettes from '73. They weren't bad.
Spring of 2018, the Con got moved to some hotel in Boxboro. It was even more depressing, though my girlfriend was absolutely obsessed with the venue, couldn't figure out why.
Apparently, the guy who runs it is an asshole, doesn't know what he's doing, and is trying to reclaim some of his "Antiques Roadshow" "fame".

This Mall Santa waved me over and we talked about Soviet MilSurp for a few minutes, nice dude.
