So what is your line-up?
Too broke right now to care. Went to the KPP concert in LA so all of my assumed cosplay money ran out over there buying souvenirs for my family/friends (didn't get anything for myself but god honestly that's no biggie). Totally worth it.
What are you expecting to see a lot of?
Hatoful Boyfriend, especially Shuu. Not that I mind at all. Half-assed Attack on Titan cosplayers too. And Avengers/Marvel shit out the ass, not that I'm too thrilled about that, but whatever.
Where are you staying?
Not sure. Friend's friend has timeshares or something for one of the hotels. Dunno the details and as soon as people say "timeshares" I usually don't pry.
What are you excited for?
see: Hatoful Boyfriend cosplayers. Also, an acquaintance that I did print trades with at a con before invited me to AA with her, so I'm gearing for a fun and busy weekend with that. I spend more time bumbling around the AA like I'm the fucking spaghetti queen or sumthin whether I'm drawing that year or not. Hope I get time to do trades again.

They also said she would be part of a panel hosted by Studio Trigger, which I'm hoping and praying means there will be various staff who will also soon be announced as guests. A Trigger panel would be great.

What I'd really like now is a music guest who is at least semi-famous, or even better, has contributed to anime in some fashion. Step it up AX, you need to somehow top TM Revolution at this point(though I'm not counting on it).

Kaya is pretty well-known among the VK scene. He was formerly of Schwarz Stein, a 2-person electronic/darkwave act which was produced by Mana (ex MALICE MIZER, leader Moi dix Mois, owner of lolita brand Moi-même-Moitié), and has done pretty well of himself as a solo artist, as well. He's a crossdresser but has a wonderful, rich voice.

Moon Stream isn't *as* popular, but it is comprised of Satsuki (from now disbanded VK band Rentrer en Soi) and Tomo Asaha of Echostream. I couldn't tell you much about their music, though, since I haven't heard much of it.

Anyway, I'm considering attending this year to go see Kaya, and a Moon Stream show sounds fun, too!

I-I might actually go to the /cgl/ meetup if I'm not feeling too aspie.

It gives size limits on the website and my stuff is pretty well over those limits but I'm pretty sure some cosplayers like Goldy have had stuff in the past that is just as big as mine.

Ive already sent AX an email but since its not far out and I have to start shipping things soon I am getting kind of nervous.

>> No.6880000

You sir are doomed. For props they're sticklers on the 7ft height and iirc 15lbs weight limit. Double check those in the weapons policy though, because I don't have to pay attention to that this year. There was also talk about limitations on hall costume size due to the robot guy in his extremely oversized outfit. For masquerade you can bring in larger items, but I cannot say if there will be a lift or ramp to get on stage this year, so you should email the cosplay people about that. Otherwise for just wearing to show off, the outside areas should be ok, and South and West hall lobbies provided you miss the horrible crush times (South Hall lobby is wall to wall bodies when dealers hall is about to open). Find a couple spotters to go with you everywhere your costume goes regardless (even in masquerade)

That was something else that I am a bit confused by. Did AX always do there contest as a masquerade? I always thought the performance contest and costume contest were separate events. Seeing as how its just me and gf as my handler going I cant really do much of a performance except walk on and pose while some music plays.

AX's masquerade has always been craftmanship & performance together. Best in Show/2nd/3rd means best of both categories. There are separate Best Craftsmanship/ Best Performance awards too though. It's fine to do just a walk-on, but you likely wouldn't score high enough on performance to get a combo prize. Make sure not to skip the craftsmanship judging or else you won't be eligible for a craftsmanship prize either, lol. Check out some videos from past AX/Fanime/SDCC, people can still do interesting things on stage even as a walk-on.

Not access control, got into Weapons Policy somehow.

You don't have to walk, there's going to be shuttles this year taking us to and from the hotel/LACC 24/7 iirc. No need to make the worlds sketchiest walk.

I'll probably party around the Westin/Hilton area since that's where a few of my friends are staying. If I'm not too tired or anything.

>>6879949
There are some grey areas regarding some costume things. The hammer size is fine (less than 7 ft) but the 15 pound weight limit is a bit iffy. The one robot dude that the other anon was talking about was a weird thing since he technically didn't have any weapon-esque props on him, so it counted as part of his cosplay (which we don't/can't handle). Same deal with the guy who dressed up as a giant 3DS last year. You may want to e-mail the person in charge of Weapons Policy once the SPJA e-mails you back. See if you can work something out or at least get some information.

No need to get nervous man. It's an awesome cosplay. That does bring up a question, how heavy is the hammer exactly? They may be more lax about it if it's something close to 15 lbs (like 16-19 lbs). Worse case scenario, you'd have to find someway to make the thing lighter and you have about a month to do it. But that's the worst case scenario.

I spoke with Otakon's Chairman (come to find out) at the Swap Meet at A-Kon (I know, right?) and he told me getting bands to perform is harder than it seems because there's always contracts and negotiations just to get the band or artist to say yes to playing, which is why a con will have an awesome band one year and a couple of average bands the next.

Same as every other convention. Remember to eat, sleep, rehydrate, and take showers. Bring camera if you want to take photos of stuff. Be prepared for lines, especially for popular things. Bring comfortable shoes because you will be walking a lot. Since it's LA it can get hot so dress accordingly. Concerts cost extra. Not sure if you can still get in free if you wait long enough. Bring cash "just in case."

>>6887232
Sub-$100 a night if you are fine with the lower end hotels. There are shuttles but I'm not sure where to find a route map. Another option is a hotel/motel near a Metro stop because the LA convention center is right next to a Metro Blue stop.

Check expedia or other travel sites.

>> No.6887252

>>6887228
oh and you'll probably be flying in to LAX which is a good distance from the convention center. If you want to go cheap as possible you can take a bus from the terminals to the metro and then you transfer two or three times on the metro (transfers are free for the metro subways)

Other option is to take the flyaway bus from LAX to Union Station ($9) then take the Metro Red->transfer to Blue to the LACC.

Parking sucks. Period. Since it's next to the Staples Center (basketball stadium) that means "event pricing." $20-30 if you want the convenience of close parking.

While we're on the topic of metro if you are taking the red->blue then you get off at the 7th St/Metro station, walk to the Blue side of the station (ask people where it is; it's up and down some stairs), then go to Pico and get off there.

Note that if you have to contact anyone, the metro is a cell phone dead zone. You will not be contacting anyone once you get underground, not even in a station. I always have to rush to make calls/send texts before the Blue line gets into the tunnel.

That's good to hear. No point to prereg then since the prices are at their highest now. Hell, if it came down to the $50 price if you register the year before and $70 it's probably better to just go with the $70 as a convenience fee.

If you don't prereg and decide to buy your pass on-site on Day 0 or Day 1, then the maximum amount of time you'd be in line shouldn't be more than an hour to process, pay, and weapon check (if you have one). Don't quote me on that though, there were a few years where the on-site reg line was as long as the prereg line.

So nixing that shit right away. We might try summer/winter forms. Maybe.

have a self post of us from a few years ago.

The JW has pretty large rooms. You should be fine if you are more towards 5 than 8. That or if you are ok being comfy with everybody.

I was walking back to the Sheraton with a friend after one of the raves 2 years ago and I had to fend off a homeless person with my glow sticks. It was a fierce battle.

Is the JW and Westin where the majority of people stay? No parties, no fun at the Sheraton every year. ;_;

They sent an e-mail saying that because of the prize increase, they are doing a tighter screening. They are sending all of the info back and you have to include your waivers, an intro video, two cosplay progress shots, and reapply again to get a number.

Chespin and Eevee gijinka
>What are you expecting to see a lot of?
Probably Naruto fags and Final Fantasy people everywhere.
>Where are you staying?
Well this is embarrassing. I completely forgot the name of the hotel. A friend of mine booked the room and I just gave him the money. I need to go over dat shit.
>What are you excited for?
I jumped on the Madoka Magica bandwagon kind of late, but I'm seriously in love with it right now. I'm hoping there will still be some decent cosplayers from the series this year, along with some nice merchandise.

It was a mass e-mail that they sent to all the contestants. I have checked AX site and they don't have any info in detail about this change, but they recently sent back everyone's applications (for those who didn't get anything, they said to e-mail them) and then approve everything and send it back with the appropriate info.

I heard it was 3 grand from here, but this was before the whole e-mail got sent so I don't know if they increased it any more.

No one's fangirling about the fact that Allison Harvard is cosplaying as Chii/Freya with her friend at AX yet? If I lived anywhere nearby I'd probably go just to meet her.

What's the deadline for the masquerade? Thinking about doing it this year, but it's my first time.

I was going to do it with a group, but I haven't heard ANYTHING from the people I'm supposed to do it with, so I'm getting kind of fidgety.

I emailed them asking about it and sent them some updated info on myself. They replied back with-

I'll update you once we finalize the model list."
