/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>8049266
Already seen two cosplayers post about being in the WCS. I hope there will be a better turn out than these two girls.

>>8049269

If I'm remember correctly, lunaladyoflight and her partner are entering. Don't quote me on it.

>>8049305
That's who I was talking about.

I'll be there in lolita all weekend.

I'll be wearing lolita all weekend too. Are there any official jfashion types events happening at the con this year? I know that the local lolita comm is having some informal outside type meetups, but I don't think the con has had any official sort of tea party type arrangement since it left Tuscaloosa which is a shame.

>>8049425
There's a jfashion panel I think on Sunday? That's all I know, though.

>>8049425
There's this: fb.com/events/427117774110056/

>>8049305
Yeah, they were initially going to the one at FandomCon but then it got cancelled. I don't understand how people can be so dedicated to such a shitty organization/competition.

>>8049692

Karmaluna backing out of fandom is what caused it to be cancelled and fucked up

Kami-Con thread?! That I didn't have to start?!

>>8049425
I just checked and we dont have any panel submissions about a Lolita Tea
We have one for a possible fashion show/social, but no teas.
We also don't have any lolitas on staff, so they only lolita panels would be from lolitas who submitted a panel request (which are still open for another week)

Also, as for no teas At the BJCC, when we first moved to the BJCC they were very strict about outside food and such (and still are), but there is a possible way around that as long as no money is being passed

>>8049839
Is the BJCC finally going to open the food court during Kami? The poor workers at Subway need a break.

>>8050017
it was opened for a while last year as a 'test' and they ended up having to stay open way later than they planned because of the amount of business they did.
I believe they plan to open again for longer this year, but I'm not 100%. We are about to start having meetings at the BJCC to see what we can do this year. I want those food places open too

fun story about that subway, the first year we moved to the BJCC, one of my staff members called that subway to warn them to stock up and was yelled at by that subway's manager because "they are used to BJCC crowds, they know what they're doing"

...they are used to middle aged women and families, but 500o con-goers who are trying to save money and eat quickly. They ran out of food 3 times. I think they've gotten their stuff together since that year...

>>8050029

Few more questions. I'm a curious Kami-Con goer. Did the WCS summit just approach you guys and ask if you wanted to host or did you go to them? Did the fact that the WCS are at the con affect the cosplay contest? (On the site it says that 90% much be made by the wear when the last was 70% I believe. Not that I;m complaining since it has pushed me to make things that I normally would not be confident in making.).

As a last tidbit, I been going to Kami since year one and I swear I thought is was over when it moved from the campus. You guys have managed to keep it running nice and smooth though.

>>8050078
sigh
Ray and I went to Japan for our honeymoon and when to Project Anime because we were invited and it was running while we were there. We met a bunch of Japanese industry guests, one of which was the WCS Japan branch. We have been wanting more for our cosplay con-goers to be able to take part in and things they might like so we decided to approach the WCS US branch (thats how they work, the cons have to approach them, they dont approach anyone).
And we...are just going to see how well this turns out...

It was 90% last year too (I'm pretty sure..it was supposed to be). I'm going to be honest, no one actually walks in with a 90% hand made cosplay. We mainly say 90% to keep people who just straight up buy their cosplays from trying to enter and to keep the amount of entrants to people who actually made the majority of their cosplays...it doesnt really work. You have to have made AT LEAST 70-80% of your cosplay to place (this doesnt include shoes, socks or wigs, but making socks, styling wigs and altering shoes and making boot covers gives you an extra boost) and from there its who's craftmanship was the best.

I will also warn you that we're re-doing the way the contest is run and such this year to try to make it more fair for people who really want to enter and to make it a little more streamlined (I hope..we will see)/

haha, thank you for the compliment, we try.

>>8050099
>they don't approach anyone

You rely on what little Ray actually knows. Both happens.

>>8050099
Have fun footing their extravagant dinner bill.

>>8050157
I'm relying on what the JAPAN branch people told me when I met them. If both happens in the US, I'm not sure, and dont really have any way of knowing

>>8050193
Sigh again,Mae shall see how this turns out...

>>8050207
>>8050157

Ugh, I'm sorry, my iPad likes to captialize all proper nouns for some reason since I updated it, I'm not trying to sound arressive.

>>8050207

Then bring Ray in to speak

>>8050306
Um, what's with the attitude? This is info that both Ray and I were told, and it doesn't really matter either way. I was asked who approached who and I responded that we approached them because we were told by the japan branch that WCS doesn't approach cons anymore (maybe they did in the past to get a foothold, but they claimed to not do so anymore and maybe due to problems they started asking again)
What does Ray have to do with this?

>>8050330
You said you weren't sure, so bring in someone who does know else you're just posting false info bruh

>>8050335
We were told by the Japan branch of WCS when we met them in Japan that WCS in the US does not approach cons for hosting. The cons have to approach them.

If this information has changed since March of last year, we were not made aware of this. Again, I'm not sure why it matters that I am saying something that was specifically told to me when Ray and I asked about how WCS chooses the cons that host prelims.
I also don't know why it matters so much, I am only trying to answer a question someone asked home, chill

>>8050341
*asked me
Not home, ipad, get on my level

>>8050335
What false info? VP-Chels said this is what the Japan branch told her and her husband, I presume because of the honeymoon thing.

Why do you demand the husband come in? Why is it you can't take the word of the wife? Demanding to bring him in to speak?

Im assuming you are WCS staff? Sexist much?

>>8050335

Speaking of chill.
You're on cgl, where it's proof or gtfo

>>8050341
Why do you need to be made aware? As from the past rigged years, I don't see any reason why someone can trust what Japan says anymore let along care or give accurate info about any participating country other than their own.

Also!
>>>>8050346
Wat?
>>8050345
To protect the integrity of the WCS, no one wants to talk to someones wife about official matters. No one cares what Japan's WCS or what you have to say about anything. Bring Ray in if you want to talk. I'm not sexist at all, I just think you should let important people talk. Wives should know their place

>>8050356

Did you miss earlier about 2005 and 2012?

>>8050099
whoa lady, you clearly have not done any research wcs is a fucking scam but too bad i already moved few months ago or else i would love to see that shitstorm

>>8050356

>>8050354
A-are you reading this thread? Like, are you? Someone asked me a question, I told that person what I was told when I asked a very similar question to WCS officials while in Japan ...it is a Fact that I was verbally told WCS does not approach cons because they want to work with cons that want them. I don't think they need to keep me up to date in everything they do, I just said that if info had changed I was unaware of it. Never claimed they needed to tell me everything they decide on.
Are you ok? I feel like maybe you're confused or having trouble understanding what's happening and are therefore lashing out at me?

>>8050371
damn lady, did you miss to take your chill pill or is it that time of the month?

>>8050371

Hey, the rustled jimmies thread is here >>8039594

>>8050373

Time of the month? Demanding her husband to talk? Wives should know their place? I can't tell if trolling, or it actually is a sexist WCS staff member. Guy's just ignore this person either way. Don't feed the troll, and sexist people aren't worth your time.

>>8050379
man, i didn't know people get more strung up than tumblr up in here

>>8050373
Lol, how many times do I have to explain the same thing to seemingly, the same person, just to get attacked by that person who seems to try to pull words out of my mouth that I have never said?
>>claimed I think WCS should keep me up to date in everything they do or decide, I never said this

Also, >>8050356
That post

But whatever troll on

>>8050381
Haha fun read. Agreed, I'll leave the possible troll alone too.

>>8050381
lady i may be so high getting my kicks here, but even i can tell you just aint right

>>8050384
haha can I at least play find the troll. Found him!

>>8050376
...no, the post you linked doesn't really apply to the 'what grinds you gears thread'

My other one >>8050381
Would

>>8050386
what post?

>>8050367
>>8050373
>>8050376
>>8050380
>>8050384

Tuffy?

>>8050078
>>8050099

If you're going to beleive that then you deserve to get scammed!

>>8050389
if that's a name you got the wrong one

>>8050391
Curious, what is the scam? They run a cosplay contest qualifier. They send to Nationals. They send winner to Japan to compete with the world. A winner is picked.

How is the con scammed as a qualifier? Do they not run the contest?

>>8050393
who screen caps like that on CGL? You green text it...

>>8050395

Ok "staffer", it's always rigged go ahead and pour all that wasted money in it and kiss it goodbye. you scam all these other conventions

>>8050396
there's no "You" in parenthesis next to any of those comment links so none of them are me. learn some 4chan

>>8050398
Are you claiming me to be a staffer for the convention, or a staffer for WCS? Because you start saying "go ahead and pour all that wasted money in it and kiss it goodbye", as if I'm a convention staffer. Then you say "You scam all these other conventions" As if I am a WCS staffer.

Also what money is spent on WCS. I can't imagine much at all. A plane ticket and hotel room?

>>8050403

You tell us! It's not like you'll ever confess to cheating

Haha ok, I'm done, if you wanna rogue and attack about WCS, do it in the WCS thread.

Does anyone have any questions or suggestion about Kami this year?

We have a new rave DJ.

also, do you guys like con photo booths? Momocon usually has one (and some other cons) and I'm thinking of setting one up this year, any thoughts about it? I was going to have the pics posted on the fan page on facebook. I think I used momocons' once and I'm not sure if I ever found that picture..I might have forgotten to look after checking in every few weeks tho, ha.does anyone else have any experience using a con booth?

>>8050400
Wow… if none of the picture in that screen shot belongs to: >>8050393

Then why would he be responding to it? It doesn't say (You) on any of them, but he responds like they are all him…

wow… also you just need to screen cap from another computer device, like an iPad or phone to not have the (you). Which I'm sure you know, because… those posts are you… I imagine Tuffy

>>8050406

yeah, let us know how it feels to be the premiere event for getting shit dumped onto your unfortunate face

>>8050408
Ok, so show me proof

Proof to be shown with logic!

1)
>>8050389
accuses certain posts to belong to Tuffy. This is a guess from that person

2)
>>8050393
then responds with a screen cap saying "if that's a name you got the wrong one".

3)
>>8050396
Makes a comment on that persons use of screen cap instead of green text.

4)
>>8050400
Claims that he posted a screen cap, because there is no "you" in parenthesis next to the comments.

However that doesn't make any logical sense. This is why:

There is no (You) in any of the posts in screen caps.

That means the person posting in point 2) above is supposedly not the person who posted those posts. (Because there is no "You" on them)

However they respond to the accusation saying "if that is a person, you got the wrong one" claiming ownership of those posts, but claiming not to be Tuffy.

As I explained earlier. You can easily avoid having a (You) on your post by looking at CGL through another device that connects to the internet, like a tablet, phone, or other computer.

Which means the person in point 2) was trying desperately to prove that those posts were not made by Tuffy, by showing that no (you)'s were in the posts. Which makes no since because of what I just explained.

So if this guy is trying so hard to prove he is not Tuffy. That means he is most likely Tuffy, as someone who is not Tuffy wouldn't care in the slightest.

Just found Kami-cons budget. It's in the wcs staff and contestants stomach. This is just a prelim too.

Nice swank resturant yo.

>>8050439
Yo bro, let us have a chat.

1) Kami-Con always treats it's guest to good food. As we try to represent Alabama properly to guests from other states. A lot of cons treat all their guests well in this regard. It's good to have nice relationships with them all. It's part of con relations.

2) That is a mexican restaurant. They are eating burritos. It's pretty cheap… $12-$15 dollar meals at best.

3) WCS sends one representative, and three judges. None of which we are required to feed, but we probably will as it's part of guest relations. That is just 4 people begin fed over 3 days, hardly any money at all. A con cost over $100,000, if you think a few $100's is going to break budget, you don't understand a con at all.

4) This is supposedly a picture of WCS staff and contestants eating out at a prelim. It doesn't mean that convention paid for the meal. If the convention did pay for the meal, that was just a decision on the conventions part. Generally it would come out of the conchairs pocket.

WCS is one of our cheapest attraction at Kami-Con this year. I don't understand why our budget is of such importance to you, but it is virtually not a financial issue for Kami-Con at all.

>>8050461
You can almost hear kami cons desperate dick sucking of the wcs from here

>>8050472
Oh I'm not defending WCS in any way. I'm just stating the fact that it's a really cheap attraction. It's an annoying amount of extra stress on me particularly. Honestly we probably won't be working with them in the future, but we'll finish what we started.

I'm just pointing out that your arguments of price, and them ripping off our con are wrong. No one is "dick sucking" anyone. I'm just saying you are dead wrong in your accusations, and giving you the simple facts.

>>8050472

>>8050477
>>8050461
As one of the people in that photo, I am only saying this because I feel guilty I actual attended that dinner. We were pretty much forced to go and my partner and I ordered some pretty cheap food. Everyone else was getting some pretty high end dishes and we almost shat our pants when one of the staff started ordering wine bottles. Each of those bottles was 300 to 500 in the case they were in and she ordered at least 6 of them. I know damn right well we didn't drink it all and there was at least 3 unopened bottles when we left. Whoever the chick with the hawk beak for a nose was doing the ordering. But we felt so bad for whoever got that bill and I know she wasn't paying for it. Last we heard she was barely paying her rent during that event.

The WCS US org has on their public communications that events interested in a qualifier should contact them. Not saying they don't reach out, but that is what Is posted out there.

Can we keep the WCS drama in the WCS thread please.

Anyway, what's everyone cosplay plans?

>>8050640
No, I want to hear this

And this is why the south will never rise again

>>8050640

WCS impact on KamiCon is not off topic entirely. Con money is money from attendees and should be spent correctly.

Do people have per diem on food for example? If not they should.

>>8050419

Can someone explain what a tuffy is?

>>8050477
Who are you? If it's so stressful, stop doing it. Plain and fucking simple.

>>8050793
As far as I can tell. That person you are talking about said he is going to stop doing it. However he is going to finish what he/she started first, because he isn't a irresponsible quitter.

>>8050791
A Tuffy, is the nickname of a person in the southeast named Christopher Smith. He is a drama monger in the South East cosplay community.

>>8050789
The impact on Kami-Con isn't off topic, however the drama surrounding WCS as an entity is. A con is essentially a festival. Attendee's come to the festival if they wish, and don't have to if they don't want to. Some things at the festival will cater to you. Other things will cater to other people. Not everything is for everyone, but the Festival covers entertainment for all types of people. As long as Kami-Con has more entertainment value then just WCS, it should be fine. Looking at their guest list, I'd say the list of voice actors, and Team Four Star, who I don't think have ever come to the the south east, is a good start.

>>8050477
Hi ray

To Kamis financial advisor from a very large cons financial advisor.....

Good luck.
We had to cancel likely one of the biggest concert guests this year, the love live girls, because of the bill we footed for the WCS last year. The attendance boost was very minimal and was not worth the bill. There is a huge reason that otakon, as big as it is, won't touch this shit.

Yes, the con chair and guest heads know I am posting this, we were the only ones that knew about our upcoming guest list...but yeah, our japanese guest list is so gutted this year because our funds are shot from them. Also pro-tip, cut off the hotel room service for their staffers rooms. Trust me.....

>>8051165
Guests from any section put their own card down for incidentals of the room, you're obviously shitty at your position if you think you know otherwise.

You sound like a finals location. Don't waste your efforts on yayahan and hoc then as well as doing things last minute is of course going to coast a lot

>>8051210
I think it can be different for every convention. Kami-Con usually puts incidentals on the con's tab, for many guests.

>>8051210
>>8051165
Oh wait, hang on. I've definitely been out of touch for a while, i had to go check and it wasn't at katsucon but acen? I saw like no advertising, so i just assumed katsucon was it again.

Oh man, i remember when you guys at acen really fucked up with that masquerade because the rave was more important. That was quite some nerd rage

>>8051234

Then they shouldn't have anything to complain about. The image above is from off-site, though? So, I'm not seeing where there's room services. Unless there's some picture of a bill paid by con is provided

How autistic are you faggots....a prelim was held at katsu.....

>>8051165


You can only allow for room and tax to be covered by the con if you work it out with the hotel. Make incidentals go to a guest's credit card. That means room service gets charged to them first. You pay what you expect, and they can submit expenses after and be reimbursed.

Also, limit how much you will cover in food a day.

>>8051323
We usually cover food and entertainment costs for guests. Even Vic, who was one of our "diva" guests as we classify them, spent not even a 1/4 of what the WCS crew spent.

>>8051585

a hard lesson learned in closing loopholes then. also, why is wcs being treated as you would an entertainment guest? who made that call?

>>8051592
>>8051585
Yeah, I'm going to need to see something because this isn't adding up

>>8051099
Better to know your limits and quit while ahead

wow. where to begin.

>>8051165

>To Kamis financial advisor from a very large cons financial advisor.....

>We had to cancel likely one of the biggest concert guests this year, the love live girls, because of the bill we footed for the WCS last year.

>very large con
>WCS last year.

Anime Central, I guess.

>>8050439
>>8050501

Thought I saw this pic before, so looked around. This picture is from the WCS Team USA Facebook. It's from NDK 2014, and "everyone", which looks like it meant teams, judges, and staff, went to Casa Bonita,

Casa Bonita isn't connected to the NDK convention hotel. So if WCS got the meal covered, they had to go back to NDK and get reimbursed after the fact because Casa Bonita is not in the hotel property.

Checking the menu online for Casa Bonita, average menu is 14 bucks, no bottle wine on the menu and the most expensive wine is four bucks a glass.

Whose credit card was used to pay for the bill? Did you offer any money on your own to cover what you ate or did you have reason to assume it was covered by the convention?

Do you know for certain that NDK paid WCS back for this expense?

>>8051854
>Better to know your limits and quit while ahead

bless you.


Bringing things back to Kami-con and the effect on WCS: it will only have the effect you let it have. Do what you feel is right for the convention, give them what you feel they should have, don't give them what they don't need, and best of luck that it goes well.

I am only curious to know, how much will WCS have apart of Kamicon. Like is it taking a lot of main event time and space? Will it be the cosplay contest replacement? Is it taking a decent size cut of the cons budget?

I am wondering if it is worth even having at a con. The WCS use to bring in some talented cosplayers to cons just to compete but that was years ago. Now I wouldn't be surprised if barley a handful apply to enter.

>>8052119
You are so desperate to defend wcs staff, you didn't even realize you are throwing your logic at the wrong person. Holy shit, no wonder we didn't even place last year.

>>8052138
It will be in one of our main rooms. It is not replacing our con's cosplay contest because of how limited it is. We are still hosting our own Cosplay contest on saturday. It's costing us almost nothing.

To us it is a show for our con-goers to view. Its pure entertainment, much like the SRP concert, rave, band, etc.
Even if a lot of crazy awesome people don't enter, its still something fun for our con-goers to see and experience.

I really appreciate all the concern and worries and advice. I'll def keep all advice in mind. Right now they are the cheapest thing we have at out con, so you needn't be worried about our budget being ruined because of WCS.

Anyone have any other questions I can answer while I'm on here (maybe some not about WCS haha)?

>>8052138
Where have you been all these years? When has it ever "replaced" a regular masquerade?

>>8052209

But do you have proof or too busy attempting to lie?

>>8052214
Yup, that's how they start, at the "cheapest".

>>8052214
only wcs, it's very peculiar your attitude towards it and yet you signed up for it anyways

>>8052209
but no one is placed after 3rd in like any contest, though

>>8052209

or maybe you just had a shitty skit

>>8052209

I'll call WCS out for putting shit they know they shouldn't on the room tab. That's bad and they should feel bad for that, and conventions need to put their foot down on that.

But there's no proof NDK either did or didn't cover that dinner. We just have someone saying "someone" did, and the poster established it was not them. So,.who did? Well, it wasn't the room tab of the hotel because Casa Bonita. So...a staffer then? Which staffer? And if a staffer, do we know they sent it in to pay it back?

Unless someone from NDK chimes in here and says they covered it? We don't know shit.

Also, let's point out the fact that if >>8050501 was truly concerned about the cost the convention was paying for that meal, they could have done something about it. All they had to do was put their meal on a separate tab and pay with their own damn money.

>>8052214

How about an ETA on the schedule for the con this year? Looked for it, I may have missed it. Or it's not out yet.

>>8052298
room tab receipt stat

>>8052305
Schedules typically come out closer to con time. There is a schedules tab under information, but it's mostly blank for now aside from venue open times.

>>8052306
Then that reveals the con that lost the love live girls for guests and that is not good for public image

>>8052298
Well, which staffer has a beak for a nose? Start digging. That's our biggest clue.

>>8052559

Too late. They outed themselves by saying "big con" and "last year".

What was the biggest convention last year running a qualifier or final that could have gotten Love Live?

>>8052561
Probably crystal from 2010 team, not surprised as she has done so multiple times before with cosplay group

>>8053384

No Crystal on staff list for website.

>>8053419
Did she finally get fired? Thats hilariousss

>>8053447

dont know dont care and it isnt our business.

>>8053536
Yet you still out here. I will laugh as I please

>>8053536

R u still buttmad, crystal?

I'll be there at least saturday, maybe sunday. AL Garrison 501st! Last year was my first troop in costume, so I'm jazzed about going again.

I'm the scout on the left.

>>8053994

not her. it just isn't relevant to the subject.

>>8054363
sur u r

>>8053994
OMFG WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR OBSESSION WITH THIS CRYSTAL GIRL. FUCKING JUST SAY WHAT THE FUCK YOUR ISSUE IS WITH HER AND STFU. I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING YOUR GOD DAMN VAUGE POSTS I SWEAR YOU SOUND LIKE SHE REJECTING YOUR DAMN ASS OR SOMETHING

>>8052702
Katsu, acen, there is a third I can't remember their name

>>8052261
how is my attitude peculiar? I'm putting on a con for my con-goers. I'm not taking part in WCS. Sorry, I'm a little confused. We have been talking to them since last April I think, and a lot has happened, so any attitude change on my part has been within the last month or so as my con draws ever closer.

>>8052305
our panel submission doesn't end until this next monday. Then we go through the panels, write up a schedule to give to our staff and guests to check over for any mistakes (staff being scheduled to be two places at once, guests may want to take part in another panel while their panel is at the same time, etc), then we fix and re-make the schedule, resend it out for checks, etc. Then we can post that tentative schedule. I'm hoping to have it posted by or before the first week of Feb, but its not all in my power to control when I get the first schedule completely returned to me or the first remake, etc. I'll try to get it out as soon as possible tho.

oh, also, i know no one answered my question about photo booths, but I wanted to be able to give the people who enter in our cosplay contest a nice photo to use online so I've purchased a rig, etc to set up a booth.

It'll also be open for anyone's use with a staff photographer throughout the con, and we will be posting pics on our Kami-Con facebook fan page

This isn't something we've done before, so I hope it works out well

>>8054579

>>8054639

>>8054672 image applies here as well. Thank you

>>8054648

I like the idea of a photo booth. If you use it, you'll find a photo of your cosplay without having to shift through albums searching in vain.

I loved the fact that the con look photos of the contestants of the cosplay contest during prejudging.

>>8050406
please please get the DJ to play the spongebob jellyfish music... Please
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec6ahnm5s64

>>8054648
quick question, why such shitty guests/ no guests? You guys gonna have anything better? also maybe some good music would be nice, lol.

>>8055015
hold off on the aggression there, padre. the guys that run the con are really nice

they've got some decent guests. bryce papenbrook is big right now, micah solusod is becoming bigger, and the internet guests are solid

even if the lineup isnt amazing they did that with the full bebop reunion and sailor moon cast last year lol. if you missed that tough titty but they get a pass this year for that alone

>>8054639
How do you really feel with all your oh woe is me sighs as if you're still not able to be mature

>>8055449

>tryna start shit
>kek

ignore and move on

>>8055964
Not gonna

>>8054713
awesome, I hope it works out!

>>8055004
sent along the request, but I can't promise anything

>>8055015
sorry you don't like our guests. Can't please everyone all the time.
personally, I'm pretty happy to meet ruffleButt, but thats just me

>>8055040
thank you, this made me feel happy. Sadly, last year showed us people don't really seem to care all that much for reunions. We saw very little growth and the reunions were very expensive for a con of our size (though part of that could be chalked up to the weather problems). If we do another reunion, it probably won't be for a while. But I'm glad you seemed to enjoy it!

>>8055964
yep

>>8055015
Nostalgia Critic, Team Four Star, Little Kuriboh, Bryce Papen Brook (Voice Actor), Micah Solusod (Voice Actor), Apphia Yu (Voice Actor)/Sakevisual Director, Ed (Director for Vertical Inc. Manga publishing company), Kazha (J rock band), Synthesis Reality Production (Vocaloid Concert Organization), Laugh Out Loud Improve Comedy Troupe, Greggo of Greggo's Gameshows, Plus I think more are coming. How is this empty?

>>8056943
Are you paying for all of them to go? I know at least half your guests require travel compensation

>>8057417
Um, yes, we generally pay our guests or at least their transportation.

So! Guys! If you could meet any COSPLAY guests in the US, who would it be?

>>8057417
GASP. Conventions p-p-p-PAY their guests??? WHAAAAaaaaT???

Seriously dude/dudette, what are you getting at here? Do you think cons just randomly happen, like a little tornado forming inside a convention center? Cons cost a lot of money.

>>8057826
Interesting, sure heard differently

>>8058047
You heard... they don't pay guests? What are you getting at here? Of course cons pay guests.

>>8057844
Most of the guests I want to meet aren't from the US. The US cosplayers do make their way around the country pretty well as normal attendees. I would suggest to reach far if you are gonna pull guest. I would rather see someone from the West coast or from the North East area than the pool of choices from the Southeast.

>>8058185
I kinda more or less figured this, but I'm not sure who is worth it, I don't know names I guess. I knew ruffle butt from her tutorials.

>>8058185
Isn't Jesse from both New York and LA?

>>8059458
>>8059839
She has been whoring herself out a lot lately in the southeast. Last place she has left that no one hates her two faced sjw ass

>>8059950
Except to you, right

I can honestly say I've never seen her in the SE before, though I just noticed Sukoshicon atlanta is bringing her in March

>>8061847
Sukoshicon even has money still? I thought after their last two busts in Georgia that they would give up.

Back on topic, she isn't a big name for people to get excited to see at a con. What is she bringing to the con as in events, panels, or accolades.

>>8061925
sewing/prop tips like her tutorials and mostly the how to cover up important areas of your body when in skimpy cosplay. maybe photography things too like posing or lighting since she does take photos too

>>8061925
The guy that runs sukoshi tried to kill off other cons everywhere he goes, for example, he has three birmingham events and tried to get in tuscaloosa multiple times before Kami moved to birmingham, and then he got all pissy that they didn't ask for his permission to move into 'his city'

He has actually managed to kill off some other cons, just not in AL or GA yet.
He better pull off a better show than any of his others if he honestly thinks he's going to survive in Atlanta. As for getting money, he screws over his dealers and sets himself up to be the main dealer at all his cons and he hardly ever has any guests at his cons. They are literally money printing schemes for him.

As for rufflebutt, I think she's asking people what panels they'd really like to see right now, and I think the con is getting her to help run their COSPLAY contest, but I'm not 100% on that.

>>8057032
>mostly the same shitty internet 'guests' the get every year
ohh wow what a line up

>>8062828
did u go skinny dipping at the beach m8

cuz u sound like a salty cunt

>>8062828
Laugh out loud and Greggo they've gotten the past few years, but they have fun little shows
Same with the comedian guy.
People seem to generally like little kuriboh
SRP Miku people only came last year. Everyone else is new.
They also just announced Christina Vee.
Oh no, 4 repeat guestsnthat came last year but generally seem to run multiple panels or shows or whatever.

Anyone else feel like one person is the one that just keeps nit picking and trying to find shit to complain about? What? The con or its runners didn't baby you or give you special treatment or some shit?

>>8063066
Huh?

I'm coming from out of town, Chicago to be exact, to hang with a friend at the con. What should I expect? How does this con compare to bigger ones like ACEN and Ota?

Compares like the annoying little brother with redneck sjw attendees to boot.

Who is running the Pokemon Center this year?

>>8064593
It was 4-5k people last year. Everyone's nice for the most part. Lost of guest panels, really cool rave and vocaloid show. cosplay scene isn't huge but maybe cosplay guest and world cosplay summit will help that? as long as you're with good friends and try to have fun, you will.

What other guests are coming?

>>8065884
http://kamicon.net/specialguests/

>>8065884
>>8066315

Nothing to be excited about.

>>8066326
go back to sukoshi-con then

>>8066340

I'm surprised sukoshicon is still around. You would think that multiple bad cons and bankrupt the head. Not to mention the bad press he got when it came out that he was trying to purposelessly edge out other cons.

>>8066352
I wouldn't be surprised if he makes more money/profit than most regular cons.

>>8067796
He sets himself up to do so. None of the other dealers at his shows make any money. They don't make enough to cover the cost of their table. He literally just makes money off his cons. He screws over his dealers, doesn't bring anything for his con goers and screws over other cons.

>>8066340
What, he is right. There is a bunch of returning guests and quite a few of guests that have nothing to do with anime. This con looks more like one of those cons that are only fun because you are around your friends, not because of the actual con.

>>8069360
they have 4 voice actors (3 of which are big names), a manga publisher (currently publishing Attack on Titan), 2 anime abridgers, and a cosplay guest that does anime cosplay.
(also, that Guy With The Glasses did review some anime in his disneycember, so that ....kinda counts...maybe)

yeah, they get some non-anime guests, but so does most anime cons (at least the ones I go to). They try to appeal to lots of people while still getting their big name guests that are only anime related.

I really feel like some of these complainers are really the same 1 or 2 people just trying to hurt the con because I guess they're butthurt (probably the same people who started spreading lies about the con last year)

>>8069360
they brought the entire motherfucking Cowboy Bebop cast, for the first time ever at a con, and the motherfucking Sailor Moon cast last year. you cannot beat that. and not only did people still bitch, they grew very little that year. this says to me that guests have less pull than you would think

also, shit motherfucker. quit bitching and go have goddamn fun, shit. what's it like hating everything all the time. do you even enjoy life?

Sorry i've been gone a bit

>>8061925
she'll be bringing at least 2 panels and helping us run our con Cosplay Contest. again, I'm personally excited to see her, but that's because I use her tutorials and they have helped me out a lot.

>>8062037
I do wanna see her skimpy cosplay panel

>>8064593
we are smaller, and I've never been to those other cons so i can't really contrast us. We try to have a family feel (which, admittedly, is very hard to continue with growing numbers, but we try to be at least accessible), we are hoping to see an increase in our cosplay scene, so we're working on that slowly.

>>8064779
Same guys as last year (though I think they might have one more head than last year).
Do you have a complaint about it? If so, feel free to let me know, its close to the con, but I'll try to work on it (if nothing else for next year)

We try to have a large variety of guests because most anime fans aren't JUST fan of anime. They tend to like lots of things, so we bring lots of different guests. Some we bring because they put on a lot of fun panels or shows, some we bring back because of requests. We keep out 'Big Names' to anime vice actors. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but its how we do things.

>>8069454

Have Raymond get back to me.

>>8069454
>>8065333

Chicago anon here, I like the smaller cons sometimes, we have a few smaller ones around here and they tend to be a lot of fun. On another note, what's everyone's cosplay plans? I'm doing Ayumu (Kore wa zombie desu ka) and Oshino (monogatari series)

>>8069480
Um, ok. Sorry he didn't respond right away, but we've been across the country since one of his relatives had to be rushed to the emergency room due to cancer complications.

>>8069500
Yes, do this thing! I'm excited to see it!

>>8069659
Ok, no problem. Thanks!

>>8069480
....did you seriously use fucking 4chan just conduct wcs business?

>>8069659
Oshino is done already and Ayumu is in the works, here's a WIP.

I'm going to try and attend if I can get off from work. Not cosplaying, but trying to improve my so my cosplay photography.

It'll be interesting to see how the Attack on Titan cosplay is going to explode this year, what with Bryce there and all.

I'm excited (I'm gonna have to do the walk-in registration and try to get there early enough that I won't spend all day doing that, but otherwise, I'm excited!).

>>8070106
Omg I love it

>>8070285
Bryce or no, there was going to be a pretty good amount of AOT cosplayers anyway, but I am also interested in seeing how his presence affects them as well

>>8070996
thanks, working on the chainsaw this weekend. Only thing after that will be the hat and the shoes which shouldn't be TOO hard but we'll see

Eve fucking Floutas, I will ask you again. Did your hook nosed ass just conduct wcs business using a 4 chan board?

>>8069754
>>8071241

Put some ice on your balls. Is there a rule against it?

>>8071331
its extremely unprofessional

and hints that she has posted in this thread before her wanting contact. So a lot of the WCS drama eariler (at least the parts demanding ray) were probably her.

though trying to do business on 4chans fucking ridiculous. Just because someone says they're 'VP-Chels' on here doesnt mean it necessarily actually her. (though she has a history of posting in Kami threads)

>>8069454
No complaints, just wanted to see if anyone familiar (this is Eric).

>>8071331
Considering this bitch can't even answer emails but she takes to 4chan when someone misses hers? You try to act like the WCS is soooooo high on the ladder but you faggots are sitting here communicating on the dregs of the internet? Saving this thread and sending it to the main wcs governing body.

>>8073005
If that even works

>>8073005
is there even a way to contact people over her head?

>>8071067
Awesome, I hope I can run into you at some point so I can snap a pic!

>>8072065
Hey Eric, same guys as last year :) I will say they're somewhat newish in our staff, but they've been there for 2-3 years at least.

hey guys! I got in the photography booth's stands, backdrop and carpet! I'm super excited about it.

also, has anyone else had issues with their packages being damaged? in the last 12months I've ordered and shipped a bunch of things to myself and 4 different things have been damaged. 2 of which were shattered (both cosplay swords), the other 2 just had messed up boxes and were thankfully unharmed.
I find it weird because 2 of them were USPS, one was UPS and one FedEx. Is it just me? have I somehow angered all the shipping companies? Its super frustrating.

>>8071340
>>8073005

Welp. Kami-Con WCS qualifier just got cancelled, soooooooo.....

Care to spill, Chels?

>>8076097
yeah, please do

>>8076097
Probably isn't in her best interest considering blabbing here is probably what got them cancelled.

>>8076227
I mean, why does it matter anymore? The damage is done, a major event withdrew their participation from Kami, word's gonna get around, they're gonna be labeled as unconfidential and unprofessional either way. She might as well clarify what happened before we start making worse shit up.

>>8053447
Hahahah "fired." Like people get compensated for being on 'staff.'

>>8076254
Precisely what you just said. Word will get around, they will be labled as unprofessional and continuing to talk is just going to fuel the fire. Its not a bunch if annons on 4chan rge have to worry about, its otge con directors, guest, etc.

>>8076254 #

>>8076097
Saw this coming as soon as Eve posted here.

>>cgl, where it's proof or gtfo
Except for all the drama threads, when people spread rumors and believe the first thing they read.

Kami-Con has been fed up with WCS for being incompetent for months and have had numerous problems with them. WCS simply did not fulfill their obligations and even pissed off Kami-Con to the point they no longer wanted to work with them.

I think both sides are glad to be done with each other.

>>8076347
ha, eve has been posting on here. She's stirred up you guys about WCS. Shes the one insisting we dont know anything and to bring Ray in.
They can not be worked with, they can not be reasoned with and they are the most unprofessional people I have ever had the displeasure of trying to work with (and Ray was the one answering their sparse, illogical emails).
For anyone trying to work with them now, no, you will not get a response to your numerous emails begging for important info so you can put on their show until you do something that angers them, and then they'll only really email you back to yell at you, not to work with you. There is no 'working' with them. I honestly do not understand how they still exist. Also, be prepared for them to try to cancel on you multiple times if you don't say the lack of communication or any other problems are entirely your fault (despite your backlog of unanswered emails and messages you sent trying to get a response from them 2 months before your show).
Also, there is a very large possibility that your NDA was the same as ours which means it lacks:
-The definition of "confidential information" that the NDA deals with;
-Any exclusions from the confidential information;
-The obligations and duties of the party receiving the confidential information;
-The time periods for which the NDA will be valid and enforceable; and
-Any miscellaneous provisions.

which means it lacks pretty much any and all info that would make it an actual NDA. So good luck with that information.

>>8076488I have never been so frustrated with an organization in my entire life, and I've worked retail during holidays.


ALSO! I am aware this is an extremely unprofessional post, and I apologize to you guys about it. However, we've been trying to work with wcs us for MONTHS and the last month has been horrific, confusing, and the SINGULAR most FRUSTRATING ridiculous situation of my life. They are supposed to be a prestigious organization and they want very hard to pretend they are spotless and care more about that, than actually working with you to put on their show. I honestly can not understand what goes on in their minds. I am absolutely flabbergasted

>>8076488
>>8076490

While your posts are unprofessional, the U.S. branch of WCS has a history its own history of being unprofessional. At least Kami won't have to deal with the drama that WCS brings with it where ever it goes.

>>8076490
and yet conventions have managed to put on qualifiers and finals without loosing their shit on /cgl/

If they are that terrible then you have the right to sever the relationship but you don't have to wine like a child on 4chan. We're all aware they suck to work with. There's a reason no one ever wants them back, but you con is the first to cancel before the event even happens instead of sucking it up and dealing. Congratulations!

>>8076527
Hi Eve.

>>8076490
lmfao gurl good luck ever getting another event to try and host at your podunk con. like not saying WCS is totally innocent b/c who knows the whole story unless emails are posted but like still super unprofessional to post this kinda shit. even if you were totally in the right on this you're stepping in shit and now people aren't going to want to work with you because they aren't going to want you to go run your mouth on fucking 4chan

>>8076535
Hi WCS Dev who's trying to not sound like one

>>8076527
Fandom con cancelled right before the con too, so no, they're not the first. They aren't even the first in the last 12 months >>8076535
Both of these are probably eve trying to make out like an innocent victim, she's doing the same shit in the WCS thread. You attack Chels for coming and talking on 4chan but you're doing the same damn thing. grow up yourself, you're running an organization into the damn ground, you seem to know you suck so fix yourself

>>8076490
Anyone who has dealt with WCS could have told you the same thing. There's a reason they keep burning their bridges.

>>8076559
hi newfag who doesn't know shit. not associated with WCS and if i was i'd be smart enough to not talk shit on 4chan since that's what the issue is here obvsly

>>8076573
Whatever you say Eve

>>8076517
Whatever, good on Chels for saying it publicly. Everyone else who has dealt with WCS shit won't talk about it because they don't want to be called unprofessional, so it all gets chalked up to being rumor. Here's the proof anon keeps asking for when people say wcs staff is impossible to work with.

>>8076588
hearsay under namefagging is proof?

>>8076533
Hi chels! I'm not eve, I'm just not sn absolute moron. Its pretty basic to know you don't air dirty laundybon annonomous message boards, not when you run what is supposed to be a profesdional business.

>>8076562
Fandom was canceled due to a lack of entries. As far as I know neither party wanted it canceled. Fandom even still brought out tge representative which the probably didn't have to do.

>>8076533 #

Hi Eve, I'm not Eve!

>>8076535
Oh my goodness! Can Kami-Con post the emails. If the NDA is crap, can you post the emails somewhere! Can we have actual proof of WCS's bullshit!

>>8076688
the emails probably look like this

From: Kami
To: WCS

Hey guys, we need _____ and ____ by (date two months from now). Can you get it to us by then?

From: Kami
To: WCS

Hey guys, how bout that _____? It's coming up in (two weeks from now)

From: Kami
To: WCS

Guys? Hello? By tomorrow?

From: Kami
To: WCS

Okay, fuck it. You can go eat a bag of dicks. I imagine you're already ahead of me and your mouth is too full to respond.

>>8076688
I hope they are ready to be black listed from basically everyone if they do. What is to stop them from doing similar things with guest contracts? Industry contracts?

Oh no, someone was hard to work with, let me go complain about it in a public forum!

>>8076642
>>8076588
>>8076535
>>8076527

Hey guys, you do realize that everyone here is anonymous. It is impossible to tell who is WCS staff, Kami-Con staff, or people trying to pretend to be the other. Even when people post under a name rather then anon, it doesn't mean it is that person at all. Every single post is anonymous.

I could post as a Kami-Con Staff member, then as a WCS staff member, and then as 20 different random people from the crowd. Then post as the staff members again. All to make whichever side i want to look bad.

So….

>>8076712
Well they can't post the emails if it has a non disclosure agreement (it would be risky even if it's not valid). As long as someone from WCS didn't claim the contract was voided in any way.

Can we stop this shit and get back to actual discussion about the con? Or is that too much to hope for at this point?

That said, I kinda rolled my eyes when I first heard about Mr. Creepypasta coming to Kami. But who knows, maybe it'll be a good panel. I'll probably hit it up if it doesn't conflict with something I care about more.

>>8076712
They only complained after the contract was broken by WCS. (Or should I say broken by you, WCS dev)

It's like a month before the con. Did WCS ever announce any judges for their event?

>>8076717
Except wcs staff did actually post. Eve actually posted, under her name and then shit went down.

So, I think someone knows they are fucked with the Main Wcs organization and is trying to drum up white knight support before the hammer comes but playing victim. OOOOH WE ARE SO PUUUUUURE, THE US WCS IS ALL ABOUT FUUUUN! No, its a god damn scam for dopey housewife and her circle of friends to party on someones dime.

>>8076769
this is what happens when you hire a batch of sub-par ex-cosplayers and not some actual administrative personnel

>>8076769
There were no trips used at all either from "vp-chels" or "eve" meaning anyone could have posted that and technically there is no way to prove it was or wasn't someone.

All we know for sure is an annon threatened to report the kami thread to "wcs management" and now the event is cancelled.

>>8076857
WCS US got butthurt, doubt anyone really cares that it got cancelled except for the few poor souls who thought it was a good idea to apply

Kamicon probably happy because they don't have to deal with the boat anchor that they have learned WCS US is (it's like learning a scam is a scam before you get scammed)
WCS US happy because they're going "HAH, TAKE THAT!" when no one actually cares

I think what we've all learned here is that nobody really gives two flying horse shits and we can all go about our lives.

Wait this is cgl, we don't have lives.

>>8076908
COSPLAY IS LIFE
CONVENTIONS ARE LIFE

>>8076857
Yeah, I did report it. For WCS staff using 4chan to communicate. If it was a bunch of fake trips, why did WCS US suddenly bug out like a bunch of bitches trying to play damage control?

Their actions are the proof.

>>8076956
Haha, between the two of them kami con is doingvway more "damage control"

>>8076960
They are a small ass con. They want to grow. No one will want to attend a small ass con if it has bad reviews or rumors.

>>8076997
Perhaps they should have thought about that before talking shit on /cgl/

bad reviews from WCS which might as well be nonexistent reviews

>>8077015
I once had a long talk with Ray about this perception problem. The short of his argument was that he's not overly concerned with appearing professional or mature, he'd rather be human and just try to make the best con experience for his con-goers.

>>8076997
Nah the con will be fine. They do a lot for the Southeast community.

They tend to be very caring. They even give out their badges for free if you want them to sponsor you during financially difficult times. They actually put on their con for free (For everyone) for 3 years all on the conchair's dime to help out cosplayers and fans in the area. If you look where they announced the cancelation, everyone is just happy that Kami-Con is fine. They are even offering refunds to those who were coming for WCS, and people are thankful for that.

Kami-Con is a small con for someplace like California, but it is one of the most important Anime cons in the southeast. It is growing a bunch every year, and this won't be a problem for them. All their guests go on and talk about how much they love them. They even get brought up in random Radio interviews as some of the best con's those guests have been to. They have also been ranked in the top 100 cons in the United states by major blogs around the net. I bet they grow a bunch this year too.

>>8077298
Don't they go hand in hand?

>>8077015
I fail to see wear she was talking shit, Eve.

*where, autocorrect god damnit

>>8077406
when it involves WCS, no, no they do not.

>>8077406
An analogy I think he used was the NFL- the media and public may have a funk over what Goodell (League Manager) or a star player says or does off the field, but what really matters is what happens in the stadium and on the field.

Welcome to 4chan where heresay is fact and evidence be damned.

None of you know what really happened between Kamicon and WCS. There is no solid proof who breached the contract, or what part of the contract was breached.

if you want to be gullible sheep and make assumptions, fine. Otherwise, quit this shit and talk about KamiCon.

>>8077298
Thats cute. His downfall will ultimately be that just because he doesn't want to maintain a professional demenor, the people and companies he has to work with to put on a good show expect it. Love how he just assumes that acting like an adult with a business makes him inhuman. Is he 16?

>>8077298 #

>>8076956

You assume that there was nothing else going on at the time between them.

While you are at it, let's call equal shots here, if it was unprofessional for WCS to be in here, it was also unprofessional for someone claiming to be the wife of the head of the convention to be in here.

>>8078244
>Is he 16?
Are you?

>>8078244
You'd be surprised about the business world. You can take painstaking effort in crafting a very professional e-mail that the business gods would be proud of, and 90% of the time you get back "yep bud sounds pretty good can't wait".

As much as you want professionalism to be what matters, in the end, it's all interpersonal relations.

>>8078303
Her comments about the convention have mentioned little if anything at all about real com business. Public relations and reaching out to people yes, but many comments were professional and polite without directly referring to inner workings of the con in detail. I've seen other department heads and coordinators use 4chan to answer basic questions in terms of the con and provide updates with no business conducted.

>>8078516
What in the world are you trying to say? Because others are completely lacking in etiquette you get an excuse to as well?

>>8078573

The point stands. It's OK for KamiCon to use it for talking about the convention, but it's not OK for WCS to, supposedly, ask someone at Kami to get back to them. Double standard.

So is anyone in here actually going to Kamicon or are you just here to stir the pot?

Anyone know the food situation this year? Also are they ever gonna bring back that panel with the bake sale? Multi colored maids running about?

>>8078665
Yo. I'm going. Last year was the first time I went and I liked it. I'm really hoping it continues to get bigger and better every year (no reason for it not to, the BJCC has plenty of space to spread out in).

>>8078713
Chels said earlier in the thread that they were talking to the BJCC people about keeping concessions open longer or something. One bad thing about downtown Bham, though, is they passed some kind of dickhead ordinance that will pretty much keep food trucks away from the BJCC.

As for the bake sale? Probably not. The BJCC won't let anyone sell food inside of it, or bring in outside food. Which fucking sucks, because I think Kami would be able to put on an awesome maid cafe.

>>8078665
I'm going. Been going since year 1.

>>8078713
Do you mean the Mew Mew Cafe? Either way, >>8078728 is correct. No food which saddens me since I liked helping out my friends during their cafe panel.

>>8054648
A photo booth would be great! If love the idea!

>>8078752
Since the first year, eh? I wish I had started going back when they had Crispin Freeman (fucking love the Crisp-man), but I just didn't have my shit together at the time.

Oh, well. I'm hoping he'll be back as a guest some day.

>>8078728
Con story time relating to this.

> be my first con
> cosplayibg as marks and was so Damon proud of my shitty costume
>one of my friends is carrying out bag and 'accidently' mixed up our food money and her spending money.
> now not only am I starving on a Saturday I can't buy the poster I had been eyeing in the aa.
> in short a big weeb fight breaks out amongst us and I run to bathroom.
> be snifiling when this short red maid cosplayrt comes up
> being a teenage dweeb I blab it all
> she sits me there for a minute then just says " Come on. "
> takes me upstairs to a panel and sits me on a couch
> comes by in another minute with cheesecake and juice
> " food always makes things better"
> " I can't pay. "
> girl literally says " pft who do you think runs this panel?" And bounces off to other guests.
> she was and is my cosplay hero to this weebish day.

She was there the following year, but I don't think she rememberd me and year after that the cafe disappeared.
So that's my kami story and the reason I ask for them.

>>8078752
Another anon here but,
Yeah I think that was it. I don't really like the new center, less of a family feel. And that cafe had the BEST brownies. If anything they should make it a free food give away.

>>8078752
Do you know the red maid? Does she still go!!! This is story anon.

>>8078761
I love him to!! All the feels.
>>8078812
Even more feels and in here >>8078822
It sounds like a cheesey super hero.
> The Red Maid!!!!

>>8078825
>>8078812
>>8078818
The red maid, kami cons defender of the weak and poor! Feeder of the malnourished and the moe of the virgin men.
It later years her story would become legend, but for some it would always be a symbol of hope.


> I am so done here shoot me now.

>>8078822

Yep and red maid moved to another state.

>>8078839
You dream stealer.
Go sit in the corner and think of what you've done.

>>8078818
>>8078752
I remember that place! I loved their cheesecake. One year there was a random daisy. She was hella cute but I was to damn shy to say anything. What's a brother to do?
i remember cus I was rocking God tier Dave strider.
Also I just had a image of that red maid punching eve in her fucking cunt face.
I am now a happy man.

>>8078839
Just. Fuck.

Bring her as a guest. It just her food. The food will do. Screw the maid.

>>8078812
This should just head over to the feels thread right the fuck now.

Why does it sound like tumblr just invaded?

>>8078893
Tumblr invaded 4chan a long time ago.
Who cares as long as people aren't shitposting?

I hope Greggo does Jeopardy this year. Jeopardy is my shit.

>>8078728
>keep food trucks away from the BJCC.
how far away is far away?
because fuck that shit, I'd walk

>>8078920
I second this motion. Kami should make a mobile cafe new mew.

>>8078920
>>8078923
It did just save/derail the drama in this thread. So it did save them there.

>>8078920
I don't know exactly, I just didn't see a food truck at any point during the con, so either it's a good distance or I went outside at all the wrong times.

>>8078920
Lol, I would walk a few hundred feet to get to a taco truck as well. But a lot of people probably don't want to bother unless it's parked right outside the con.

ordinances like that is just because they want to gouge the fuck out of you with their subpar cafeteria food at double the price it should be

>>8078933
Con food can be hit-and-miss.
I had a burger and fries when I was at Hamacon last year. The burger was meh, but the fries. Holy fuck, those fries were delicious. I don't know what they do to them, but Jesus Jumpin' Christ. Those fries are partially responsible for my decision to return to Hamacon this year.

>>8078930
You quoted the same person twice.

>>8078944
Oh, goddammit. I've never done that before.

Well Chels said the Lolita's could possibly have a tea if no money was exchanged.
What if the mew mews came back but it was free? Would that be legal for them?

>>8078945
We all have those days anon.
I like the idea of cafe mew mew coming back. Any staff members in the thread?

>>8078961
I guess that's a negative.

>>8078882
I was Daisy. My job was to be the random black chick in the bad costumes helping out.

>>8078910
I hope does Jeopardy as well. Went to his show last kami and loved it.

>>8078991
From what I remember none were bad. As a matter of a fact you won the last costume contest with your armor!

The maid cafe had to collect money to cover costs, so I don't think they could bring it back. I also think the main person moved away?

I think the food trucks have to be so far away from restaurants and there are a bunch of restaurants by the BJCC now on the other side of the Westin.

>>8078589
>completely lacking in etiquette

Or just operating on a standard different from the more uptight one you espouse.

B'ham-fag. I'll be there as Dipper and GF as mabel.

/cgl/ meetup over at the King's Inn? ;3

>>8082042
Well that could get awkward.

>>8082081
Do you want murder? I think you want murder.

>>8081187
Does anyone even rember who this girl was? That story is giving me old kami feels. I remember her as Karkat giving Ben nye to some younger girls to help them with their homestuck cosplay.

>>8082614
All the murder.

>>8082277
I mean, possibly. But I'm sure it'll be more laughs than anything.

>>8082081
>>8082277
>>8082635
I mean, there's always that big cemetery by the BJCC.

Here's a question, I know AWA has a pretty nice arcade, and Birmingham has a pretty nice arcade / pinball community. How about a Kami-Con arcade?

I can bring some of my pinball machines.

>>8082667
I don't know if it's any good this close to the con, but go to their Facebook page and pitch the idea at them. I don't think any staff members are visiting this thread anymore.

>>8082667
Plz bring a dance/music game! Ddr and Pump is always a good choice

Got an e-mail back a few days ago, and my Intro To Origami panel has been approved!

It'll be my first panel, I can't wait.
I've taught a large group of people origami twice before (10-30 people), so maybe I will kinda know what i'm doing.
Its kinda hard to decide what i want to all i want to teach.

>>8083208
I feel mixed about DDR game at cons.
I love DDR... but do you really want a bunch of people playing it, then getting really sweaty and walking around all day?

>>8083289
I think Ill risk it.

>>8083289
Eh, if you want DDR, talk to BumperNets, they might be willing to rent out the machine for the weekend or for some free advertising, I don't know. I know they have DDR.

>>8050406
Gtfo no one cares.

>>8050406
Gtfo out chels, you did enough damage for one year.

>>8090616
>>8090901
Samefag, the fuck are you attacking her about? She hasn't been on this thread (that we know of) sice she posted about why WCS was cancelled.
And you didn't even use her last post to tell her to get lost, you use one from a long time ago?

>>8087964
What's bumpernets? Is it an arcade or something?

>>8090616
>>8090901
Can't help but think this is Eve trying to start shit again, grow up Eve, no one gives a shit about your piss poor rigged contest

>>8091044
seriously. literally nobody cares. fuckin drama queen ass bitch

>>8091042
Yeah, BumperNets is an arcade. They have a few DDR machines in the mall I know of, Im not sure if they're anywhere else.

>>8091044
Ok, Eve
