You ready Texas 'gulls?
What cosplays are you bringing, what panels/events are you looking forward to?

>> No.7219591

I haven't decided what to bring yet, but I feel compelled to try to do at least one holiday cosplay since its just 2 days after Christmas. Might as well make the best of such a terrible weekend for a con.

>> No.7219621

Probably bringing mostly old cosplays although I do have a new one I'm working on for a group. I don't want to fess up to the actual cosplays though because there are so many Texas fags on here. I haven't even looked at the panels or events yet though, I'm just glad Ya Ya isn't going this year.

Going as Noiz with my friend and some group she found off of tumblr. Kinda scared because all the people I don't know happen to be homestuckers. So afraid to see how some of these people turn out.

>> No.7219729

>You ready Texas 'gulls?
No, I most certainly am not ready. I need to actually find time to work on cosplay, but knowing me, it's gonna be the week before the con.

>What cosplays are you bringing, what panels/events are you looking forward to?
Cosplay wise, I haven't really figured out my line-up. I wanted to for sure be pregnant!Eureka for Saturday, Friday I was debating MAIKA or Blake Belladonna, and Sunday...yeah, not sure I'll even be cosplaying. Panels/Events? Umm...yeah, I haven't really seen any action on the forums announcing anything exciting, and it's not like there's usually anything worth checking out except the dating game and maybe hentaifest.
Thank god I actually got a free badge this year.

yeah, new years was great since I got PTO I could take an extended trip to Austin. It was awesome. New years falls in the middle of the week this year though, but I still wish they had done the first week in Jan. Christmas is always very active and exhausting for me.

I was in an 18+ hetalia panel as Prussia once. Host got hella pissed because I showed up buzzed. For some reason there was a lot of food at the panel. Ended up with an entire big mac and a plate of pancakes.

If your at a con that doesn't enforce it.

Speaking from an east coast perspective otakon and katsu can't really keep all people under 18 out, smaller one's can as they often ID each person at the door for each panel

If Ikkicon in texas is large than yea your correct.

Even if people under 18 were kept out I'm pretty sure it would end in dick jokes, people mounting each other for pictures, and girls making out

not really "better" by any stretch (YEA panles!)

>> No.7246047

not really though?

Hetalia panels in this area especially have had recent problems with 18+ stuff. Like having underage panelists as well as panelists without badges, even at A-fest, the SUPER MEGA family friendly con. If they can't even keep underage panelists from going in, underage attendees probably happened left and right

And it's the same people running the Ikkicon panel so

doesn't matter, 18+ at this con means they ID at the door. Just because A-fest can't handle managing adult programming doesn't mean that all cons are as inept.

One more pic that I took today on my way out of the con because I loved Watamote.

>>7266783
I didn't go to the cosplay contest since I was mostly just hanging out with friends but overall I feel like the con was a mixed bag this year. Registration was a total disaster that ended with me shouting at some guy who kept saying "the line's over here" and pointing to a giant mass of people with no real order. The panels were a mix of terrifying and really neat (Philosotaku was way more interesting than I expected it to be), but I didn't go to very many. Dealer's room seemed a bit sparse this year, but the gaming room was better than last year's IMO.

I also ran into Miho Nishizumi's English VA by total accident, which was really cool since I was a huge fan of Girls und Panzer and loved her homemade coat.

Con was great had more fun there this year than like the last 3.

Game room was better.

Table top was better.

Room party had tons more awesome people in it.

Everybody there was willing to talk and was very kind.

Saw the director of programming in the elevator told him we needed less homestuck panels in front of a bunch of people cosplaying that crap.

Dealers room had better stuff than last 2 or 3 years (no good prons though D:)

This year was wonderful, maybe it was so good because "nobody" didn't show up, but whatever it was, it was a really good year for ikkicon at least for me.

This was pretty much a standard Ikkicon. Not super impressive, or well run (the registration line was bullshit), but it's a con and it's better than sitting at home. And actually this year was slightly better than previous year like tent-con year.

Only took one picture of someone in cosplay and one person in Lolita.

I enjoyed the con even though I didn't do much that required a badge. Chilled with some of the security guys most of the time.

only ran into one annoying person, was fast walking to get a drink for my friend and left her alone so was trying to hurry. On my way this guy comes up to me, poked me in the stomach while saying poke. I grab his finger and throw it off me telling him not to fucking me. Then he looks at me like im the weird one....
