/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>check guidebook app and go to the otakon guide
>"schedule updated! Now we're 20% cooler!"

Fuck off. Bronycon is over.

>>7740374
Im on the line atm. Weather is warm but not too bad. Not going to the cgl meet, though.

>>7740374
Why are people in cosplay today? Its like 80 degrees and the cons not till tomorrow

You fucks better pick up were that clusterfuck known as Anime Expo failed.

>>7740374
Already seeing a few itas, let me see if I can snap a few pics

I'll be leaving from work in a few hours. Thank god registration is open till 10.

Leaving tomorrow morning, def coming to the /cgl/ meet, but only to see if people are mean irl

For those here today: Prereg fucked up and wont start giving out badges any time soon. Word is hopefully before 4 but.. Who knows.

>>7740574
I thought they were giving them out by 3?

>>7740574
Your shitting me right?

>>7740562
You'll probably be disappointed then. I didn't meet any mean people last year.

>>7740586

Was it awkward? I feel like it will be awkward.

>>7740584
Line anon here. Sadly, not shitting you. Ill keep you all posted. Im near the front so the guys tell me as soon as they get radio info.

>>7740607
Uuggghhhhhhhh kill me

>>7740601
I didn't think so. We all just went to a bar and shot the shit and played pool. Met some really awesome people.

Line moving.

Anyone have an ETA on when they're giving out badges?

>>7740644
probably from people leaving

>>7740649
They just started a few min ago.

Where's the meet up this year?

Does anyone know a good pizza place in the area?
The Sabbaro was absolutely disgusting.

>>7740699
Chef Paolino is nearby. It's pretty decent.

>>7740693
Indoor fountain area. A few people in the last thread who said they'd be there have distinguishable costumes so it should be easy to locate.

I'll be there by 11am tomorrow morning.

Its usually an hour line from there. 12pm at the latest i'll be walking around the con enjoying the atmosphere.

>>7740726

I'll probably be wearing a twitch tv shirt for the friday night meetup. At least i'll be easy to find.

Also can somebody confirm that there are 6 badge choices this year? I've heard there is only one. If there is only one then can somebody upload a picture of it?

If there are 6, can somebody tell me the 6 choices? Badge selection is a very fun part of the Otakon experience for me. One more badge to add to my doorknob's collection.

>>7740736
>only one badge type

There's no way they'd jack up registration fees and then cut down on the choice of badges.

>>7740736
I didnt get to pick. Might all be the same.

Are we passing out the Jkid flyers this yer?

>>7740748
>>7740761

>mfw

Ok line anon from before. Sorry my posts were short, hard to text and walk and carry luggage. I didnt check badges but no one mentioned choices like last year. I looked and the others I saw were the same. Ill see if I can attach on mobile with this phone. Line outside was still long.

>>7740804

Thank you very much for the badge post.

I will be wearing my banjo kazooie tshirt to the meet.

Also how long is the line right now. I'm watching the Sumo right now.

>>7740826
When I left, 20 or so min ago, it seemed to be outside and possibly looping. Due to the 30min delay, its not doung so well. PCs seem to be slow a bit as well (mine took forever to connect, etc).

>>7740374
Systems down

>>7740841
Also they enforced putting your real name on it. I pretended to write then ran away.

>>7740845
On the front? Nah man

>>7740850
Yes. And the material lets it show from the back as well. The art isnt see through but the name part is. Hard to explain. I dont want to take a pic of the top of mine to show (thats why I cut it off there)

wig or no wig. Doing fight club mako btdubs

I'll probably be at the meet up for a little bit in my Deadpool garb.

Not a promising start, longest I've ever had to wait in prereg for a badge

Did they have a staff change recently? That would explain things.

Anyone know what parking in the hilton lot costs as opposed to driving a block or two away for something potentially cheaper?

>>7740915
theres two Hiltons. the Redwood St one (Im at) has 32 dollar valet parking, look around and you can find 21 dollar and 16 dollar parking

Artist Alley linefag here, they are so understaffed the line is moving so slow because theres only one booth

Quick question, what color is the badge strap this year?

>>7740925
Ice-cold water blue

>>7740920
Alright thanks. I'm at the W Pratt St one and I've never driven to the con before. I'll take a look around. Thanks.

>>7740925

>>7740945
>>7740933

Thanks alot guys and gals. The badge hype excites me.

>>7740953
No problem. Im bored as dicks at my hotel lobby waiting for my friends to arrive. This is the only interesting thing I have going on right now.

Anything interesting to do in Baltimore that isn't too far from the con? My friends and I want to do a bit of sightseeing during the con (and possibly a photoshoot), since we've never been to Baltimore before.

Well I think I'm pretty much done for today. Gonna go stand in line for my badge and settle down and lurk 4chan.

Asked in the last thread, but can anyone recommend a safe place to park? Thinking about hopping on the charm city bus to avoid my hotel's super expensive parking

I'm at the convention center now. Line is very long. Longest line ever, probably rivaling Katsucon 2014's linecon. Would not advise getting badge until late at night (around 9pm)

The line is fuuuuuucked

400 lb whaleman and neckbeard playing on his 3ds can't keep up in the zigzag and are slowing shit down for everyone

>>7740699
might have to go to little italy in baltimore but it might be a bit far

>>7741021

Well, during the con the Orioles are going to be in town, so if you want you can spend like 10 bucks for upper level seats and watch a game in one of the better looking MLB stadiums. Also, you can look into the National Aquarium and Inner Harbor in general. Haven't done it in a while, but I think all that is within walking distance.

>>7741031
Sorry dude, you're gonna pay a ton no matter where you go at this point. You can try and see if there are any parking reservations through ParkingPanda (advertised on the special deals page of Otakon's site).

So what cosplays does everyone have for tomorrow?!
THE HYPE TRAIN IS INBOUND!

Not going to Otakon this year as my brother is fighting for his life with two blood clots in his lungs.

>>7741189
Weeeeeeeaaaaak.

>>7741189

I'm sorry to hear that.

>>7741139
haikyuu
nishinoya and my bf as asahi. we are wearing our jerseys for prereg but we aren't in full cosplay (no wigs or anything)

The fucking line never ends.

>>7741222

>>7741222
You should have got in line earlier.

>>7741227
Dude I thought I did get here early.

>>7741232
>not getting to the line at 2:45

do they just turn people away at ten?

What time does the line close tonight?

>>7741251
10 PM

The water fountains inside aren't even on, fuck

>>7741267

>Water fountains not on
>One badge
>understaffed con

This is looking shaky so far.

>>7740922
Seconding this, two hours in and I'm barely in the last stretch for a badge and I see that the AA line got even longer than when I entered. Extra annoyed that they aren't even letting the artists and vendors drop off their stuff because they need a badge... which isn't going to be obtained before the doors for AA close at 9pm.

I'm predicting that if people skip out on getting a badge tonight it'll be a worse decision than waiting it out because tomorrow's line will be even worse than the clusterfuck it is now. So much ugh.

My friends and I are coming down early tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll see you guys at the meet-up.

>>7740374
Is there any chance the line is slow tonight because it's Thursday? Will it be crazy tomorrow? Because I didn't have too much of an issue last year when I pre-registered and came down Friday morning

Holy shit I think may die from this line.

Yeah I usuallybcome around this time every year to pick up my pre reg badge. I saw the fucking mess of people and may end up cutting my losses. Hopefully they start hiring people to run otakon before they move it to DC.

Tomorrows line will be horrific if they dont clear everyone here tonight. I can't imagine they would just close the doors at 10pm

>>7741387

I'm scared, I'll be down there at around 8am if i'm lucky. How fucked do you think i'll be?

Thread is tl;dr so I'm not sure if anyone's asked yet but what time does badge pickup start tomorrow morning?

the line is closed. staff told me that the second half of the line probably isnt getting tickets tonight

Is there any sort if /cgl/ meet up tonight? I need food and have no one to eat with

Wasn't expecting this shitshow. This is rivaling the great Anime Boston Line Con 2008. It's the fucking line that never ends.

I'd heard from someone else that their systems went down again.

>>7741409
I really kinda want to hang out with some people earlier than the meet cause I'm bored as hell alone. Cons are kinda boring without cool people to hang with.

>>7741405
>>7741427
Oh wow, well, maybe next time you guys should think about getting in line earlier.

The last few years registration ran SO SMOOTHLY. This year it took us 2 1/2 hours for our badge.

What the fuck happened?!?! Otakon had this down to a science last year.

>>7741409
Stop being a mooch, buy your own food.

>>7741434
Nigga I wanted to see two fat sweaty men grapple. I have my priorities.

Last year they didn't have 32,000 pre registrations to go through. The at con registration line will have like... 3000 people max.

>>7741434
every other year I've gotten in line at 8 and had my badge in twenty minutes, dipshit.

>>7741434
if I didnt have other things to take care of today, I would have. I'm not upset, but I feel bad for my boyfriend as he wasted gas

>>7741267
They haven't been on for the past year or so have they? They don't want the nerds climbing in them

Is someone gonna put bubbles in the fountains again?

>>7741433

I feel ya, anon. I'm gonna be alone most of the time too.

Near the end. Someone save me. Line so hard.

>>7741391
Pretty super fucked man the line situation is the worst it's ever been after going since 2001

Any slim chicks willing to suck my slime dog?

I really want to cum inside some conslut.

No 2 ton hero's allowed.

>>7741517
Scream for joy when you get your badge.

>>7741487
>.
I am working in the dealer's room this weekend and have a lot of free time. Do you want to get together and have a karaoke night or hit up a bar? I would be down for something tonight.

Yeah my room have up on the line when we went at 7:30 an went to get food. Then we gave up again when we went back at 9:30.

Heading down to the con at 6 and hoping the line won't be too long by then.

>>7741560
Yea I'm up for some drinks, preferably a bar and grill somewhere I can get food too

>>7741048
That's no AX.

You all got off easy.

>>7741577

(Other anon) I'm down, but I won't be in Baltimore til tomorrow. Probably be in Lolita most of the weekend too.

>>7741586
How do we want to organize, pass out cell numbers? Make a skype chat?

After the biggest clusterfuck in all transportation history, I'm finally /actually/ on my way to Baltimore. Came super close to saying "fuck it" and turning right back around to go home. Now 10000% determined to enjoy the shit out of myself at this stupid con to make things worth it.

>>7740863
No wig

>>7741588
How do you guys usually do it? It's my first con so I have no clue

>>7741596
Typically we organize a big skype chat and go from there.
Alternatively if you have a kik we can chat on there.

>>7741596
Just pick a place and time to meet and follow that

>>7741545
Meet me in the Sharriton lobby at 11PM tonight.

>>7741560
Got to pickles pub they just dont have karaoke. Hit me up if you find karaoke im down

>>7740374
I might show up if nothing else is going on. I'll be the one in the unzipped Vault 101 jumpsuit and YMCMB tanktop. ;P

Hey everyone,
I am working at the dealer's booth Anime Sekai.
You should stop by and get your photo taken, I am planning to make a image collection for CGL congoers and plan to post it on here when the con is done.

Ask for christian.

>>7741599
Yea, I've a kik.
>>7741605
Where's the Sherrington at?

>>7741615
Like right next to the convention center, its connected to it. Look that shit up on the internet. Hurry.

>>7741618
Walking there from cvs should be there in a bit

>>7741620
See you then~

>>7741621
Chilling by the escalators

>>7741605
Who do I look for? this is another anon

>>7741642
Peach shirt brown paper bag in hand

i have a bunch of cardboard in my garage from moving, should i make a shit cosplay for tomorrow

>>7741648
Be a gundam

>>7741646
I'm just checking, is anyone invited or were the two of you doing an eat and booty call

>>7741648
Fuck yeah man.

>>7741657
I was assuming anyone and everyone

>>7741660
Actually I don't think my body will let me. I'll see everyone tomorrow

>>7741660
>>7741657
Anyone is welcome to come join.

>>7741666
Was anyone interested other than this anon?

>>7741669
I'm in the Sheraton lobby

>>7741673
Anyone else coming?

sooooo, what the shit just happened? I made it to the door to get in for pre-reg, and they closed the door in front of me. what kind of con doesn't have line counters? like, cut the line off so nobody else has to wait for 4 hours for nothing!

where do we line up tomorrow? sorry for the vent, it just boils my broccoli when i have to sit around for absolutely no reason.

>>7741686
>boils my broccoli
Thanks for the kek

>>7741648
make a shitty seagull prop for the meet

>>7741686
>boils my broccoli

Gonna be using this one all weekend.

>>7741686
That sucks ass. That's exactly why we just went back to the hotel room. Two years ago something similar happened to me when we went to get our badges during the thunderstorm. Needless to say we didn't want a repeat of that same bs so we decided to turn in early and get up early for tomorrow. We're hoping we can beat the line. I'm seriously so glad that we turned back now hearing that that bs happened to you. Idk what is causing such ridiculous lines this year though. Is it because everyone panicked and pre registered?

>>7741704
I heard the internet was fucking up which caused complications.

>>7741686
were there a ton of people behind you? the staff knew well before 9pm that a lot of people in the line werent getting tickets.

does anyone know how many badges were picked up today?

This is the first time since 2009 that Otakon had to turn away preregs due to long lines.

Network issues+Long lines: Clusterfuck

I even saw one person bitching out a staff member because of this.

It will get worse once the 3000 remaining regs have reached. Once 35000 people have got their badges, the con will not accept anymore.

This is Linecon 2014: The Otakon Affair

Anyone up for a bootycall at the con? I am looking to finally lose my virginity, any humble and awesome girls out there? I have a hotel room for the weekend.

>>7741686
Lmao he doesnt leave his friends to cut the line solo and walk to the front 9f the queue to get a badge. Were you raised in canada m8? I got 3 badges sovfar bybcutting the line and using names I got from people by talking to them in the l8ne I cut.

>>7741717
Where you staying?

>>7741710
I guess that would make total sense. So I guess that is our explination then. I hope it's fixed by tomorrow.

>>7741715
After the staff told us it would be at least 3 hours neorealism we got our badges and that they weren't staying open we just decided against it. That was like 8:30.


>>7741716
I don't think 09 was even this bad and at least there was more then one badge then.

Linecon 2014. Waited 2.5 hours on line. Was actually moving constantly so it wasn't bad but right after we got in on the line to the booth for the badge half or almost all the computers are super slow

Apparently there was too many people sucking up the Wi-Fi. The line management was terrible. No choice in badge but at least the quality is nice

Such a terrible Thursday

>>7741724
At a Hilton a few minutes from the con center, got a kik?

>>7741756
Who has a wifi network that any pleb can access?

Who runs a con off of that wifi?

What the fuck?

So my friend and I are going to be lining up tomorrow and registering at the door. How fucked are we?

>>7741715
there was still a whole half a building or more behind me, tough to guess at what I can't see. I got in line around 7:30 and at 10 I got worried, but we were so close to the door. we were yelling at people to just keep moving into the building.

now there's people on twitter claiming otakon is giving free t shirts to people stuck in the center and there's claims that they're moving reg to the Hilton.

>>7741756
>Only 2.5 hours
Lucky fucker, me and the gf waited 4.5 hours and didn't get back to my car until 10. But hey, at least we don't have to get in line tomorrow.
>tfw having a long conversation with the guys behind us about League

>>7741785
How early are you going to try to get in line?

>>7741785
About 3000 badges left so godspeed anon. God fucking speed.

We are rooting for you.

>>7741799
We won't be in Baltimore until around 8:00am, so we'll probably be in line a little after that. It's not terribly important to us that we get in, but it would be fun.

I got in line around 4:30 and it was really long already (but kept getting longer) and I briefly considered ditching it to come back at 8 or 9 since previous years you'd get your badge almost instantly that late.
Good thing I stayed, I would have been fucked if I tried going later.
I only waited in line about 2.5 hours

>>7741756
I just left the convention at 11:50. The Otakon website is down, so they can't the pre-reg data. They were giving out line skipping passes to everyone still in the building.

>>7741812
Yeah you're probably be fucked

>>7741756
We were on line arpund almost 6 and didn't actually get the badge till a little after 8:30. Thank God I was insistent on getting badge early

So, who here got their "Jump the Line" passes? Made a post about mine before realizing there already was an Otakon thread.

>>7741738

>>7741820
I did. See >>7741814

Good luck tomorrow.

>>7741756
And they didn't lock the wifi why? Last year I'm pretty sure the network was locked.

>>7741812
You may get lucky. It seems like everyone pre reged this year.

I consider myself really lucky that I got in line when I did. I got in around 3:15, and got my badge around 5:30. I'm only now learning of this disaster.
Consider that two disasters in one day, with the servers fucking themselves and causing a huge catastrophe in my bank account

The "Jump in Line" passes are great, too bad hundreds upon hundreds of people just got fucked by leaving line before they were handed out.

I'm gonna be going solo the first few hours tomorrow before my friends get through the pre-reg line, 3rd year in a row like this but it gives me ample time to get pics of some cosplay.

>>7741825
Same to you.

Sigh, and I was really hoping to go to one of the 10:00 am panels...

>>7741021
Go to an Orioles game. I love sitting in baseball games and getting drunk with friends.
Or if you have a car, there's this place a bit away from the inner harbor that sells nothing but pie. It's amazing

They're trying to move the prereg people to the Hilton right now. Giving out free t-shirts as well. According to twitter

>>7741832
What's a "jump in line" pass?

Get in line at 8:00, didn't even get close to the door and I saw the flood of asspain leak. When I heard they closed the doors I said fuck it and went to the usual meetup tavern and had dinner. With the lines at 7eleven packed, I'm just gonna have to wait till tomorrow to pick up some things I need from CVS.

>>7741860
A misspelling of "Jump the Line" pass.

Still in this line. How do I not poop my pants. Haven't eaten since brunch.

Yaya has our back.

>>7741863
CVS was out of water when I went in at 3. Like packs of it.

>>7741908
So are you over at the Hilton?

>>7741918
yep. You?

>>7741918
I ain't worried about water. Just need small things I forgot to bring like a shaving razor and a toothbrush. I woulda done it today but because of work and the nasty ass traffic getting here I had to skip out on it.

This is my first con and I got my badge successfully after 2 1/2 hours of waiting. I have a question. Do confags shower or use deodorant? There was a fat girl in front of me and a group of guys behind me and they both smelled shitty foul. The guys behind us skunk when they started sweating outside. Then there was a second disgusting scent. Me and my friend were trying to figure out where it was coming from and when I went up the stairs into the registration room, I got a whiff of the fat girl’s ass in front of me and almost vomited.

If you are waiting tomorrow, please stand with ppl that don’t skunk

Another booty call anon checking in. Male, non-virgin, actually attractive and I'm not afraid to turn you down if you're not a cute girl (though I'll be gentle about it). I'll also be at the meetup but I'm totally willing to pretend we've never seen each other.

Not completely shitposting because I wanted to check in for the meetup as well.

I got super fucking lucky with line con. Phone with the email almost died after waiting in that line for 2 and a half hours. Thank the line gods that I was spared.

>>7741939
There was a guy at AWA a couple years back I think who was just spraying people with Axe.

Where are the preregs going down on Friday? Same place?

>tfw can't into wigs
I feel like my Himura Kenshin cosplay will turn out acceptable, but I'm concerned that my unfamiliarity with wigs and hair will ruin it.

I don't suppose there would be any helpful seagulls at the con who are willing to help, are there?

Is anyone else in that big Otakon group on Facebook? I had to leave that shit because all I saw on my news feed was people crying about not getting badges and some bitch making fun of everyone and talking about how much money she has.

Also what time do you plan on getting there Friday? Because I plan on being there by 10am

Who /cgl/ in the 6am line?

Im getting to the convention center late tomorrow, how screwed am I?

>>7742414
Relatively

Thus line is already crazy and it's only 6:40, I'm going to be here for at least the next 4 hours.... Crap.

>>7742432
I'm under the bridge between the two buildings, shit is it really going to take that long?

Heard from my roommates that they switched the registration data to the cloud this year, instead of on a server like all the other years. why the fuck would you even

>>7742011
I'm planning on lining up for tickets at 8:30ish. have to sign my lease in the morning so that is holding me up. I'm in the process of moving, so that's one reason that I couldn't make it earlier last night. odd timing, but I couldnt really help it.

>>7742445
welp. morons.

>>7742443
What time did you get there? I'm to the left if the door like at the corner in front of the light rail station and it's doubled around.

When I hear about lines that are 2+ hours long I just kinda want everyone to walk away and say fuck this. Leaving the con to flounder trying to make money to pay for all the space they paid for.

Cause we are in the digital age here. It shouldn't take more than 20 secs to confirm a barcode and pick up a badge.

Cons should have their shit together by now. No one. I mean NO ONE has the right to waste 4 hours of someone's time ever.

>>7742450
Like...6:30. Fuck.

>>7741235
I got in at 2:45
Shit did not take long

>>7742452
How in the fuck? Wow I guess everyone had the same idea then.

>>7742451
Only this is the pre reg line the at com line is like 15 people.

>>7742457

Other than being lucky enough to be close to the entrance, it is literally faster now to pay another $80 and just register at con, rather than wait hours in the pre-reg.

>>7741605
Yo you trying to steal my gril step off senpai.

>>7742451
You sound like a whiny manlet. Going to be late for your mani pedi faggot?

>>7742464
B..but thats $80 I could spend on figurines of my waifu

>>7742464
>>7742457
it's anime north 2012. way less people but only, what, three people checking in?

>>7740374
Are there going to be any lolita brands here? Hopefully I can pick up an new headbow

Why are there so many Makotos with green wigs.

someone should make a Papers, Please game except with understaffed con registration

I woke up at 5:30 this morning because I work night shift and just couldn't go back to sleep. Now I'm sitting around waiting for my friends to wake up so we can get this day started

It sounds like I should have taken the opportunity to get in line instead.
Should I just hold off until this evening to attend? Hopefully the lines would be worn down by then a little
Or will it just continue to increase?

How does it feel knowing you'll never get your badge? (:

I could not have picked a better year to finally be able to get a press pass to Otakon.

I feel terrible for all of you, what a disaster.

i got in line at 2 and got my badge around 8

Baltimore's new curfew takes effect Friday

>http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-ci-curfew-effective-20140806,0,2966312.story

>Baltimore's new curfew — among the strictest in the country — takes effect Friday amid mixed reaction, with some parents saying it could help keep youths safe and experts noting that there's no evidence that it will.

>Police will begin taking children out too late without supervision to one of two curfew centers, where they will be evaluated and their families connected to services.

>The new curfew, which updates a law on the books for 20 years, requires children younger than 14 to be indoors by 9 p.m. Those 14, 15 and 16 can stay out until 10 p.m. on school nights and 11 p.m. on weekends and over the summer.

They waited until this weekend to impose the curfew

>>7742521
How Detroit like has Baltimore become to enforce such things

Hanging out with a bunch of dudes, looking for a cute cosplayer to be my gf for the weekend

>>7742523
I think it's to prevent the city from becoming Detroit like.

>>7742580
> tfw all the grills are scared off by your neckbeard and fedora

Man otakon really dropped the ball this year. I'm about to just sleep in all day and try to get my badge this afternoon. I took vacation days for this since I've always had a ball going to Otakon. This year it's like someone ruined christmas or something.

>>7742503
The opened up at 7:30 to make up for yesterday and the line moved pretty fast. We were wrapped all the was around building and it only took us about an hour to get our badges. So I'm impressed.

Everyone suicidie. Anime is over. The person who kept hinting to something terrible happening was right. We coukd have prevented it but now it's planet of the apes all over again.

>>7742610
Here I was afraid there's be a mass shooting or an ebola outbreak but it's just the usual con-fuckery.

>>7742521
What the fuck kind of police state bullshit is this?

>>7742620

Liberals, not even once.

Is the fountain gathering at the small indoor one or the huge outdoor one.

>>7742621
Fucking liberals. Why do they hate freedom so much?

Only a liberal would want their child indoors getting fat instead of outside like a healthy human.

>>7742620
What are you underaged or a pedo?

>>7741914
Your Cosplay Ambassador has spoken! *rolls eyes*

>>7742642
>You can't care for the freedom and wellbeing of a group unless you're part of that group.

Fuck off, liberal.

>>7742655
Pedo confirmed

I just got my con packet. They're not printing out schedules this year since they aren't usually up to date. You'll have to print one out yourself from the Otakon website.

>>7742660
Die in a fire, soccer mom.

alright guys, now that the cluster fuck is over, what is everybody doing today/tomorrow?
I'll be heading to Anime For Old People, and then after that checking out what Rufio/Zuko has to say.

I've got an NES controller embroidered on my hat with a red brim. I'll be wearing all blue. I got lazy this year and didn't bother to bring a costume. Stop me if you see me, whether to have a chat, have a beer, have a cow, or whatever.

>>7742601
But I'm clean and pretty fit

It's 10:30. How are the lines at the con right now?

Oh Christ the line goes around the building 4 times...

Lawyerfag here working at the Baltimore circuit court. Saw some bitches dressed as Pokémon and remembered otacon was this weekend.
Anyone know of if there's any Umineko or ace attorney shit happening?
Hope you guys have a good time.

>>7742702

Not too bad. Pre reg line is long but it's constantly moving.

>>7742500
Probably all indie.

the pre-registration line moves very fast. I got in line at 6:45am and they opened the door about 45 minutes later. We were about 4 blocks back in line and we made it through in just over an hour and a half.

>>7742712
How's the at-con reg line?

>>7742734

Not sure honestly, I'm at the back of the center again

the pre reg line was a 2 hour wait for me but I am in and settled. I already bumped into some of you from last year and said what's up.

I'm coming now as Mr. Foster, I'll be carring an AK.

Shout, 'DOSH' to me for a surprise

Finally made it in, took about 2 hours, and the pre reg line is shorter than it was when I got in line

If you see a short guy in a black suit with a red shirt, it's probably me. Go ahead and say hi if you see me. No costume today, that's just the way I dress.

Took about 2 hours to get mine. Just going to sit in my room for a small break to recharge things. Unless I find something better to do, I plan on swinging by the game room to see what they got.

>>7742734
Super short. Idk if they are out of badges or not but at 7 this morning there were like 10 people.

Anyone else waiting for Whose Line is it Anime?

Do i need a printout of my registration to get in? Or can I just show them what's on my phone?

>>7742886

Phone will work, that's what I used

>>7742889
Excellent, thanks. Just realized I tossed the power cord to my printer the other day in a fit of cleaning.

Gonna be at Otakon for the first time this year, I've never been to one of the huge cons before. Any returning people have any idea which panels get crazy/require you to wait in line an hour early?

we got here at 10 and got our badges a little past noon. the dealer's room line has been closed until further notice.

attaching stupid selfie of us today so you guys can say hi if you want

>>7742710
Ace Attorney shoots are at 5:00 today and 4:30 tomorrow. Haven't seen any Umineko yet, but we'll see.

Great panel Otakon none of us can see shit

He's here

Anyone else win Yoshiki tickets? Just got an email that said I did, so I'm pretty stoked.

>>7742971
Who is that?

Folks outside telling us all to repent and accept Jesus today. Don't think they're hitting their target audience.

>>7742999
They'd be better served with signs that say "Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus"

>>7742999

Don't even know why they bother. Btw this dealer room line is ridiculous

>go to noodles and co
>guy asks to sit with us because crowded
>sure why not
>engages in polite but awkward conversation
>guy suddenly throws up everywhere

>>7742999
Jesusfags get jealous anytime there is a popular fan event of some sort that isn't related to church. In their upbringing they think the only thing you should be a fan of is Christ.

In any case, I've grown sympathetic to jesusfags after seeing so many videos of liberals always abusing them. They just want you to go to heaven. Leave 'em alone.

>>7742999
I cant believe I had to bend my neck to look at your shitty image.

Just got to the hotel and the room hasn't been cleaned yet... what an auspicious beginning! Are the pre-reg lines still insane?

>>7743124
No not anymore.

Wanna hook up?

>>7742580
What are you dressed as

>>7740374
There's this dumbfuck store in the dealers room selling bodyline dresses for 100 bucks a pop

Looking for a friend for the night.

>>7743147
How old, and are you some what in shape?

>>7743151
In shape, 21 last november.
you?

>>7743122
Clover is shit, looks fine on everything but 4chan

>>7743155
24, I compete in powerlifting so pretty decent.

When did this become a hookup thread?? Y'all thirsty

Just spent half an hour sitting outside the dealers room I talked to a pretty cool guy about computer networking and it while I was in there chilling in the hotel room and lightly drinking. Trying to get pictures of people but I don't like to ask them for pics when they are talking with their friends

>>7743162
www sure, powerlifting. we'll see.
114 and 5'5'' I wont be back at the hotel till about 8 or 9.

Damn the thirst is strong in this thread.

Here's a tip most hotel maids will know how to hook you up with a call girl for around $100.

>>7743168
cons are so boring, what else is there to do?

>>7743171
If you prefer them lean and toned I might be your friend instead. I'm probably more interesting than the other guy, too.

Nothing personal, powerlifter guy.

This fat autist behind me is almost ruining the toku panel

21 y/o guy here. 6 ft and about 145 lbs, reasonably fit. I actually live on the outskirts of baltimore and have an empty house for the weekend if any ladies are interested...

>>7743185

Sounds like a hungry skeleton, step off senpai.

>>7743196
sounds sketch as fuck

>>7743147

hi my name is Melvin Fedorawitz and I would like to be your friend for the night. I'll treat m'lady right unlike the other jock assholes in this thread.

>>7743196
Sure is serial killer in here

>>7743185

I'm aesthetic, fit, and dressed as catbug. Get at me.

>>7743185
I dont want my door flooded with guys. Please dont shit up the thread with any arguments.

>>7743196
Sounds like a great time if i wanted to get murdered.

>>7743203
Great we can talk about our favorite touhou and roleplay as our original characters, If you try any sort of un-gentlemanly behavior I will have to battle you; ill have you know the steel of my imaginary katana has been folded over 1000 times and forged in a volcano. *tips bonnet* nothing personal.

>>7743198
No need to get possessive, son. I travel a lot so I stick with bodyweight exercises. I'm a martial artist, not a powerlifter, so throwing around more than my own body weight is a waste.

If she likes bulk, fine, I hope you fuck her good. I'm just giving her another option.

>>7743182
Uhh... Cosplay and panels and dealers room and video rooms and workshops and the artist alley?

>>7743213

Oh you want to roleplay I'll have you know whatever your character is can't defeat my original character blood the Hedgehog because my character blood was trained by shadow himself and he also has the same telekinetic powers that silver the hedgehog does there's no way you would win also Vegeta's my cousin
>>7743213

>>7743219
If powerlifter guy and body weight exercises guy did a fusion they could win.

>>7742971
Oh shit

>>7743212
r u a grill

>>7743214
Hey I didnt say no, I just dont want the mood of the thread to decline with arguments. these are supposed to be happy times. Im fine with lean and bulk. How old are ya etc etc

>>7743219
dem panels

>>7743219
Sonic eh? I happen to write my own sonic/touhou fan fiction, I cant reveal the identity of my original character though as you may steal it, and that would be very dishonorable.
You're cool though, i like you. typing on my phone is taking forever though, this chair is hurting my boney ass. bye for now.

Any recommendations for bars in walking distant of the convention center, I need to keep my buzz up to tolerate this fucking amv shit. The more dive the better.

>>7743232
Powerlifter guy here, do what you want.

If you want to get a drink later let me know.

I will do my best to keep an eye on the thread

>>7743242
I'm monitoring the thread too, Sure id love that, just get whatever you like and we can share. Nothing too strong though. Gotta be sealed up tight so i know you arent tryin' anything sneaky.

>>7743232
25, retired military, etc etc. 5'5," 135 lbs if that matters. Anything else I could say about myself would seem tryhard on the internet so I'll save it for if we meet in person.

>>7743242
You seem like a cool dude. Let's just ignore the skirts and talk it out over some booze, maybe jerk each other off a bit. No homo.

>>7743248

I like you to man (no homo) if you want to meet up, and hang with my buddies let me know.

>>7743248
not sure if youre serious but if you two can get along and if bodybuilders alright with it, we could shoot for a group thing. never done it. like to try it and it would be easier scheduling lol

>>7743226
I'm all that is man.

>>7743260
Unfortunately I was joking. I'm way too heterosexual for my own good. Threesomes are fun, though I've only had MFF.

>>7743271
PL guy here agreed.

>>7742901
Gurl, you could do better.

>>7743271
alright. PL ill see you tonight.
/k/ ill see you tomorrow night. I'll check the thread every so often.

>>7743287
Cool time and place?

This all took quite a turn

>>7743291
lets try 10 o'clock or 11. if thats too late for ya we can think of something else.

>>7743296
i know, right. exciting.

>>7743300
Time is not a problem for me, just need to know where.

>>7743287
>tomorrow night
I'm shaving for my costume tomorrow so I'll be in full babyface mode. Tonight's better if you like stubble. Otherwise sure, sounds good but I'm not making any promises.

>>7743308
Scroll up hon, my first post in the thread has some the info in the email field, room number etc. You can figure it out.

>>7743310
I dont mind stubble. I like hairy.
Not making any promises either, at all depends.
A definite time would be 10pm.

Let's be safe, and have some fun.
Phone is running out of juice, time to find a place to charge.

>>7741031
>>7741134
>Thinking about hopping on the charm city bus to avoid my hotel's super expensive parking

I've been parking all weekend at Otakon for free, for the last several years. I park far away, and then ride into downtown using the folding bike I keep in the trunk. Just watch the signage for what areas require local parking permits, and what areas are free.

To anyone who went to the dealer's room, is there any booth that sells chopsticks and a booth that sells gay doujin?

The hookups made this thread retarded, please autosage soon

Where else are we suppose to take it? /soc/ doesn't care

>>7743315
So wait, is that 10pm tonight or are we sticking with tomorrow? If it's tomorrow you get clean-shaven /k/.

>>7743315
Got it, see you then.

>>7743135
I was gamagori v3 goku, now I'm issei from dxd, I'm going to the dxd photo shoot

New thread
>>7743422

>>7743232.

I'm done with the fedorawitz act as well. typing got annoying. I'll be at the \cgl\ meet tonight wearing a yellow cut sleeve venture bros shirt. I'm just down to have fun tonight. what time was that meet again? its somewhere ITT but looking from phone is annoyingly.

So, where is the meet up headed? I'm not getting a badge, but I do wanna meet up.

I just got my badge but have no friends
Pls respond

>>7742999
Lol they got removed all the way over to the orioles game area. I'm pregaming in pickles pub and they outchea tryna get laid by jesus ornaomething

>>7743077
Cool

I've got a headache so I'm turning in. Let me know what bar you all end up at?

>>7743213
Only a thousand? My Magmamune was forged by satans father in the heart of the suns soul. This blade is folded by a quantum time mechanic that keeps folding it as itbdrinks of the blood of darkkin. Also its not made of steel its made of pure spirit manargy

>>7743234
Pickles pub got 4 dollar 16 .oz its always been my go to harbor place bar. Let me know if someone knows better

>>7743260
Hey third party here but wouldnt mind jumpin into a train situatio. Like if the lady the conductor and then us dudes just bup bup bup bup then I mean~ might could get down with that

>>7742924
So glad you didn't get me in that photo. For fucking real, dangerously close to snapping my fucking terrible hair.

Chris chan here. Did we miss everyone? Heading to the water street tavern with two other seagulls

>>7743659
Nobody there. Heading back. To the fountain

>>7743659
Ah I wish I owns have noticed that sooner and I would have met you guys there.

>>7743572
I'd say hey, let's chill, but i'm already back at my room. bored as fuck. at least I have my beer and this pool.
anybody wanna chill, I'm in the holiday Inn express.

I've always been amazed at how eager con goers say they're dtf like rabbits, but when it comes down to it, no one wants to admit it publicly. it's always these back alley deals on the message boards.

>>7743717
When it comes down to it, everyone wants to get intimate with someone, even it's just for a little bit. We're all just lonely, but we don't want to be judged ;_;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6inwzOooXRU

>>7743726
they don't know how it be, but it do.
I feel ya anon, but it doesn't have to be a contest on here. Hell, even I wouldn't mind a little nookie, but I know it's not reasonable for me to think it's gonna happen. if you're looking for love at a con, you should prepare for the worst. Just like real life!

>>7743740
I truly desire someone I could rightfully call my significant to go to cons with and keep each others company, but if it's just for a weekend with a kind stranger, I guess that's fine.

>>7743315
Come down, I don't have a key to take the elevator.

Hey, did anyone attend the Touhou photoshoot?

Was it really short or did I go to the wrong area or something? Other photoshoots lasted like an hour.

>>7743146
He's actually smart. People will pay for that shit.

Hey, i've reread the FAQ at otakons forums n it wont let me ask- then remembered you guys yaaaay.

Does otakon allow luggage to be checked in at bag check? Or should I use a big duffle bag? Coulvd'e sworn i read it in their website faq. Doesnt seem to be in there anymore. I'm getting ready to leave soon please help a lone traveler. I have no hotel room so I'll be playing a wander. Never not had a room to sleep in so its pretty nerve wrecking. My brain will just go out if they don't let me in. Or luggage gets stolen.

Any smokers out there? I'm looking to buy some today.

>>7744582
any tips to make sure the smell doesn't leak? what's your technique for eliminating the smell? I've come close to paying bullshit "cleaning fees" in hotels. either for Mary j or cigs.

>>7743726

I feel ya. I keep meeting eyes with cute girls and occasionally talk with some of them but I don't know how to go ahead with that. I've seen mirin' eyes since I'm /fit/ but I don't have the balls to go for it.

>>7745107
Embrace chinos.

>>7745107
nut up, because I don't want to hear about a good looking guy who can't seal the deal while I throw myself a pity party with a half - gallon of ice cream.

>>7743315
Let me know if you still want to meet tonight. I've got other plans if I don't hear back from you.

>>7745587
Bodyweight bro don't waste your time brah, have a good night with your bros.

She will just waste your time.

>>7745604
What are you doing tomorrow PLbro? I plan on being bored most of the day, so it'd be cool to hang out.

>>7745630
Fuck tomorrow we are all drinking sake right now, you wanna meet up?

>>7745696
Where at? I'm kinda busy but I might head over

>>7745721
Our group just split in half me and my bro are going to Edo to continue our drinking.

How relaxed are they? My cosplay isn't exactly subtle.

>>7745746
If this is bodyweight guy, we are chill.

Just hanging at the bar for now, I'll get you a drink.

>>7745753
Yeah, it's me. Where is Edo? I'll head over in a bit.

>>7745770
It is across from the renaissance hotel big mall looking building second floor.

Or just Google map that shit.

>>7745778
Walking up now. You should know me when you see me
