Nope. Not supporting any of Kopf's conventions.

Only going because I'm desperate for a con and all of my friends are going, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time and would just go to Kollision 2 weeks later at the exact same place.

Don't know if I'm gonna buy a badge or not, I'll see when I get there.

I had a blast last year when it was in Lisle. Somehow I ended up partying in a penthouse suite which was cool. DOUBT it'll happen again since it's in Rosemont now. I might go but I'm definitely not buying a pass.

Well if that's the case then, depending on how things are going, I'll either buy a badge or leave. Just don't feel like it's worthy buying one right now as I'm not even sure if it's gonna be a good con yet.

What are you looking for? Kopf's cons are not known for any good parties, but the guest list is always dope.

Seems like most of CGL just wants a decent place to drink (cheaply). Anyone planning a party?

Is it just me or does it feel like the Chicago cosplay community is really small and/or really quiet. Never been able to meet may people in this damn city. You'd think being the 3rd largest city in the nation would make it a bit easier to find people...guess not.

>> No.7991203

The Chicago cosplay community is really subtitle/quiet compared to the other communities. I'm not really sure why but the video game scene is even worse.

If it helps I'm going to Acen and Midwest (maybe) and we can hang out. Except I don't really drink or smoke.

>> No.7991220

>>7991203
I always try to hit up all the local cons in hopes of meeting people in the area who are into the same shows (monogatari mostly) and stuff. I had no issue making friends when I went to Ota yet sadly all of them live on the East coast which sucks.

Meh don't need to drink to have fun, I just really enjoy drinking at cons because I can just do whatever I want without having to worry about being judged. I'm sure there will be a meet up at ACEN, though I will be at CAD so if you're thinking of going hit me up.

>> No.7991336

>>7991150
I wouldn't say quiet (definitely not small), but maybe compared to other coms in the US. It's also pretty drama free except when Ross is involved.

ACen is a great place to meet a lot of new friends though.

No it was a few years back like maybe 2010-2011?

I have social anxiety disorder and I'm an introvert so most of the people at the Acen met and greet already knew each other from the previous ones and didn't consider me in general. I was the new person so outside of two people nobody really talked to me and I kept trying to hide. To make it worse I wanted to just go back to my hotel room and I was nervous/queasy at I-hop.

I tried to talk to a few people later on but I was snubbed and a few people had no idea who I was. To make it worse a guy I was suppose to give Pokeballs to never picked them up even though I tried to find him/call him several times.

I do go out my way to be nice and try to be a good host when I can but my ex friends compared me to a wallflower/snob.

>> No.7991549

>>7991413
I would give it another try, anon. Being more introverted myself, I understand that people can sometimes confuse being shy to being snobbish, but if you don't put yourself out there then you'll never meet any new people.

Give it another shot and don't let a few bad experiences discourage you from trying again. If you are going to Con Alt Delete, I hope you have a good time and not let your anxiety put a damper on your fun. (And if your going to ACen, maybe I'll see you there at the meetup!)

Exactly. As I stated above we're the 3rd biggest city in the country, you'd think the community would be bigger. Even the people I HAVE met at the local cons here are always from Wisconsin or Ohio or something. Hell I'd be curious to see how many people on cgl are from the area.

It looks like such a waste of space at that hotel. How many people were there?

safety staff here; I didnt see them do that, and the leader for safety at this con was relatively cool and not doing that. I was surprised as hell given well this was a KopfCon

It's the same hotel as Acen but a much smaller con. I didn't go this year - has it grown any since last year?

Not sure if you're serious or joking. There were at least 2,000 people there. Every room I went in was packed except for three of the panels I went to (two Friday and one Sunday). Game room, Karaoke, and video rooms, dances, were all packed when I went in.

Different anon, we must have gone to different conventions, then. There was definitely maybe a thousand people max all weekend.

The full of homestucks is true.

They didn't use the basement level or the Grand Ballroom. The basement level is not that big of a space though and the Grand Ballroom (where the Soap Bubble happens) was being renovated. IDK but it seemed big enough to me. Usually you can tell based on how grumpy the vendors are, and they seemed happy on Saturday.

...The bottom half of the hotel is full of space, have you ever been to a con at the Hyatt before? It has multiple rooms that can be used for panels and other programming. As in, entire hallways of rooms and almost every con I've been to there has made use of it.
And even if the lower level was small and not worth using, the lobby was generally really spacious in terms of people compared to most cons held there, including Anime Midwest by the same group.
