/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>You Preregistered?
Yes, badge came Monday
>did you manage to get a hotel? Just a yes or no would suffice
No, I got an Airbnb (actually the exact same one I got last year)
>How’s your AX fund jar doing so far and what’s your budget?
It's looking pretty mixed. I've already had a fairly expensive year so following AX I'm going to be dead broke (in terms of spending money). Hoping to not spend over $2,500 between food, board, and merchandise.
>You got your work PTO approved?
Collegefag, NA
>Any setbacks so far until the con?
Already have had a friend drop out and expecting another, narrowing my group down to me plus three others. I don't mind the fewer people but it means the price of stuff is going to go up for everyone as the costs for the Airbnb and gas are split less ways. I'm hoping for the best, and especially hoping for gas to chill the fuck out this summer.
>Cosplay Day 0/1/2/3 plans?
Only bringing/doing one cosplay: Sakuya from Touhou; my group is going as Touhou characters and she's long been my favorite.
>expectations?
Pretty high, I had a great time last year. Hoping for some more people at the meetups, however.
>what are your dream guests that you are hoping will get announced the week before AX?
Anno? Maybe some autistic f/a/g YouTubers that sometimes go to cons?

>Not an expectation but hope that there's a lot of good merch this year that isn't entire booths' worth of Genshin characters like last year.
Same, same here. So tired of the endless Genshin, Hololive, and Demon Slayer products that are EVERYWHERE in both the Exhibitor's Hall and Artist Alley. And it's not even a "muh based obscure tastes," I have normie fucking tastes, just not these three properties that everyone capitalizes on.

It's good. Cry.

Don't, but if you do, don't fly LAX. It's so out of the way and fucking chaotic that literally any other airport in the area is a better choice; I personally try to fly Burbank whenever possible.
