In a sea of anime conventions that pleased every inch of the hungry brain with abundant anime and manga, cosplay, mainstream Guests of Honor, and industry panels, there was still a gap to be filled for those yearning for more interest in yaoi-exclusive areas, and Yaoi-con 2004 most definitely filled that spot.  Not to disappoint the fans, the entire weekend was packed with everything and anything related to YAOI: videos, panels, Guests of Honor, cosplay, and even stuff in the Dealer's Room.  Everywhere you looked, it was all about YAOI.  And that's probably why it remains to be such a special event in the hearts of all the attending members.
