Coming from St. Louis which is just 3 1/2 hour from Overland Park, so it's not a bad trip. Straight shot almost.

From KC, cosplaying Hiro from Big Hero 6. Yes, I know it's going to be this year's Jack Frost. I'm still doing it out of love for the character, and I'm trying to do it well.
Late night plans are to probably go to the dances (the rave for a bit and the formal when ever that is) then room party it up with my friends that I never get to see.

>> No.8128825

From Olathe
Don't really have any cosplay plans for this year, probably gonna skip it. I was Levi, from AoT last year and trying to keep the harness and belts together was a goddamn nightmare. Plus, there's probably gonna be 30 some odd Aot cosplayers anyways, half of which will be wearing flower crowns.
Not really going to be doing much other than hanging out, getting street passes on my 3ds, and maybe a room party or two.

I know a friend who's going as Tadashi so he's gonna be thrill to see another BH6 cosplay.

The only reason I'm probably going to naka is because it's so close to home and it's just an excuse to roll. not really much of a fan of KC cons but if some seaguls want to meet up for a while or grab some real food in the area, I happen to know where alot of good local places are and what specials are out there.

At Tokyo in Tulsa we have this thing called Sakura Pass which basically gets you into all signings early and a whole bunch of other shit but anyway that's beside the point. But Peter Pixie was the MC and every time he talked about the Sakura Pass he would pronounce it suh-koo-ruh like what the fuck. He's been to so many conventions and he doesn't even know how to pronounce sakura? I mean he's a chill dude and all. Once he complimented an aristocratic lolita coord I was wearing and I took a selfie with him. Has he ever done anything really bad though?

Also don't get high or smoke weed so much it becomes an addiction. Don't let it overrule your priorities.


>biggest regret being blazed once and i ordered like 20 bucks of food from dominos

That's why you eat before you smoke. Protip for munchies: Eat fruit. it is healthier and doesn't kill your high.

im apart of no group in general but i travel the country and run into other mgs cosplayers.
but advice on your cosplay though, i would trim the beard down just a little bit to a short well maintained beard and mustache. and lower the headband to above your eyes where it covers the eyebrows and just the top of the eyelid. MGS cosplays rely not only on the suits accuracy but the head band can either make it or break it in terms of credibiliity

Sorry you find it disgusting, but it's not like dressing like that is anything earth-shattering. Especially for the con scene.

ok.

Anyway, the vendor's room is pretty basic. A lot of the time it's a bunch of tables of the same shit (offbrand alpaca plushies, tshirts, ect), but it is very busy and you can sometimes strike gold if you look hard enough. The AA is in the same room.

There's this person who sells these shit-awful, overpriced dragon stuffed animals. She's always there and there are always a million weebs walking around with one on their shoulders. That's the worst of it. Everything else is pretty quality.

Naka is getting harder and harder to break into if you're new.

It's actually pretty sad to me; that feeling of everyone wanting to be your friend is almost totally gone, just because of the sheep number of people that attend. Sometimes I feel like the staff are still treating the convention like it has less than 3k attendees, and that's not helping things either.

>> No.8155220

*SHEER number, I meant. Though many of the weebs act like sheeple anyway, so what's the difference.

>> No.8155284

>>8155214
Yeah, I can sort of agree with you there. I've been going to naka since it's second or third year, can't quite remember. There definitely is a big contrast to how it was back then and how it is now. It doesn't really have that intimate feel like it use to before. I've made a lot of friends over the years due to naka but now it just seems like everyone is sticking to their little cliches and circles so it's doubly more difficult if you're new and looking to socialize.

That's why I'm starting to look towards other cons that aren't exactly anime related, Like comic-con or magfest or something along those lines.

Yea, like I mentioned before, that's been happening for quite a while now and I feel that's what's slowly driving me away from this con. Not that I'll stop attending it anytime soon but I definitely don't have quite the same enthusiasm for it like I used to.

The funny thing about that is that I started going to Naka because it's easier for me to make friends there. It really depends on your perspective I guess because acen used to be my main con and I felt like a ghost because of how huge it is, but I don't feel like it's hard to meet at least a few people at Naka because of that. I can see how someone who may have been attending since the beginning might feel the difference though.

On another note, they're saying on Facebook to expect the schedule tomorrow or today rather. Oddly enough, my timehop from the 1st last year was also complaining about the schedule. I really wish they would get on that. It's one thing to put it up within a month or two weeks before con, but Naka is next week. It's really ridiculous.

No, you don't have to buy your food once you get inside. They've always provided the food and tea with the admission costs.

>>8154178
It's because last year the ticket price wasn't enough, even though they sold out, to cover the costs of the tea party. The hotel charged up the ass for hot water and the tea party lost a lot of money. Raising the ticket price is the only way that they're allowing the tea party again.

>>8154875
It sucks because the con booth sells them, but they have no sign advertising this and half the time the person working the booth has NO idea what the tea party is. The booth worker last year told a lot of people they weren't selling the tickets and to get them at the door, which contributed to a lot of girls not being able to get them.

Ugh I left after the Dj started talking over PonPonPon

Singing along in his disgusting gravelly voice ruined the dance vibe. The bag check thing was also a COMPLETE disaster with the way they had one way entrance and exits

Naka kon is kinda getting big, so they obviously have to have one way entrance and exits to keep idiots from congesting the area. If you think bag checks were bad here, I was ad MAG where you dropped your bag off in a secluded area across the convention center and staff left the post at 10:30 PM so everything was free take after that. At $50 a badge, naka COULD pay a small group to properly check in and holds bags from 9-3 but that would dig into the chairman's wallet.

I was dressed in a Link cosplay and Captain Hammer asked if I was staff because no one was at the door of the game room.

In retrospect I shoulda fucked with him and said that I was.

I had a good chuckle at the amount of armed officers outside the rave room like some autistic 15-year-old is going to start some shit in there or something.

Just wondering if anyone saw me saturday. I was cosplaying Aceman from Deadman Wonderand and only like 3 people recognized me.

I ran into you in the hall and you gave me such nice compliments even though my costume was shitty. I hope you finally got that drink.

The problem was that all the bags were at the entrance, so after exiting the dance you had to trudge back over and awkwardly cut through the line of people entering to find your bag.

That's the Elite Knight from Dark Souls, you did a great job. You ended up doing a Mock gesture instead of a Shrug, but it was equally memorable.

I'd like to believe they'll fix that by next year but still batter than leaving it in an unattended pile across the center. I've been critical of this con for years but I'm starting to see some improvements in operations (and still smuggling with ease). I really will hate the day they start emptying our pockets and padding us down.

I've seen people bringing water bottles and monster cans into everything. So not really doing shit in that part of security.

That wasn't me at all. I was joking.

It's cool that you liked that guy's cosplay though. I bet he would appreciate the compliment that he will never receive.

Hey /cgl/, was there a convention this weekend?

>> No.8184032

>>8183549

Tthere have been incidents at other cons and I think this one a long time ago that required law enforcement to intervene. It used to be that a bunch of people would show up to Naka just for the rave. A couple of years ago at Nebkon some fuck was handing out E or something and telling people it was candy.
