They changed the rules of how they wanted everyone to cross the stage literally 2 minutes before sending everyone out.

>mfw they were going to have us come in through a "tent door flap" that required you to both step high over the plastic tent wall but lean down to be under the rolled up flap.
>mfw I don't have a face for this.

In the ballroom with a lead pipe. You must be dressed as Colonel Mustard.

Okay. So who's doing what last minute and will most likely be glue gunning pieces together the night before in their hotel room till 3 am?

Yeah...sorry...I'm tired. And Guardsmen are always good, yeah...do that.

>>6833156
I'm out of ideas then. Spiff up your Krieg costume maybe?

>>6833134
I suppose, although it's not as eye catching. How about the Ladd Russo idea, that'd be pretty quick to throw together.

No sleep for you.

Let's do this, I have one:

>Be at San Japan 4
>Staying in hotel, waiting for elevators on 11th floor, been waiting for 20 minutes so far.
>Hear loud pop/dance type music and screams from overhead from overhead.
>It's several floors up and getting closer.
>Our group looks at each other nervously.
>Elevator gets to our floor, music is very loud now.
>Doors open.
>Elevator is full of ponies.
>They throw candy and confetti they were keeping in pillow cases at us and shout "Surprise!"
>Doors close.
>Entire group stands there stunned and amazed.
>We hear this continue on several floors below us.

You forgot how great it is to walk into a normal restaurant dressed in full 40K garb.

Tell us more stories...

>I haven't heard much about the AKon meet, I wonder what's been decided?
>I'll just check the thread...

Fuck everything. I was going to bring brownies or something to the original meet, but you guys...I swear...was it that big of a deal that some thought they needed a separate trip free meeting?

What's the artist's alley and dealer's hall like? Biggest I've been to would probably be AnimeFest, but I have heard legends of AKon's vendors...

Holy crap that is the best feeling.

>tfw someone you think is awesome compliments your cosplay.

>accidently find obscure but awesome piece of a costume for a character you've always loved.
>you have 3 other cosplays in the works.
>tfw when you have to mentally restrain yourself from immediately starting on new character because you found one piece.

I was considering going, but I didn't realize it was the weekend before Akon. That is extremely poor planning on the guy's part; shame too, I love the hotel it's at since that was San Japan's first.

How long does it usually take to get your badge on Thursday night? I've heard 2 hours, is that right?

...you guys ate all the banana bread too...

>tfw 250 miles driven to a con and you forgot your entire cosplay bag.

>>6798368
>I don't want a repeat of Ikkicon's meetup.

Ikkicon's meetup?

>tfw first time wearing a new costume that took nearly a year to make and it's perfect, and seeing your ex at the same con in a costume he half-assed the night before.

I suppose we could all report in. Anyone know if Western Fella is going?

>>6795632
Not at all, not at all.
