/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I say we decide now. If you can't come then you can't come. At least this gives us time to plan things ahead.

I say we decide this now.
If you can't come then you can't come. Sorry.

Nah.

>>8290765
8PM friday after Nominoichi

>>8290765
I voted. 8PM on Friday or Saturday is best for me because of Artist Alley hours

>>8290765
8pm Friday pls

>>8290765
>no option for "every hour of every day"

>>8290765
>not 8:30 anymore
okay i have a shoot booked right until 8 on both days so i'll probably be running late and still in cosplay.

how long do you guys usually wait around for people to arrive?

>>8290915
>how long do you guys usually wait around for people to arrive?

We will chill there for at least an hour. Just come when you can.

>>8290926
oh shit okay, that's nice.
gives me lots of time to change into a comfy cosplay and fetch chocolates from hotel.

>>8290939
wear something sexy

>>8290765
A-are boys allowed...?

>>8290944
nah I prefer wearing cute things.
nothing against sexy cosplayers though! i just don't think i can pull it off.

if it means anything my (tentative?) cosplay for saturday evening shows more skin but it still screams kawaii as fuck instead of bombshell hottie. idk how the meetup for saturday is looking though.

>>8290969
8pm on Friday is ahead right now. We'll give it a couple more days.

American who attends Canadian Cons in the room, I'm just curious, why do the Ontario communities seem so dramafilled? Like in my area of the states, there's drama but they're often secluded to certain groups, not a whole city or region. Or I may be over analyzing this.

>>8290994
Because Torontonians are shit.

>>8290994
Cause our comm is full of retards and salty bitches.

>>8290994
Salt mine built under Toronto

>>8291003
>>8290994
lolololol if you believe Ontario is even REMOTELY the worst.

Try California or Florida. Florida is the woooooorst.

>Breaking an unwritten/unspoken rule here

AB comm. Definition and lead example of toxic stupidity.

>>8290967
no, penises will be removed upon entrance

>>8291019
>thinking any American thinks highly of Florida

I didn't expect anything better tbh.

>I don't even give a fuck about Disney World, it can burn

>>8291278
Too much privilege

This is the Beacons-gull here. Where do you guys meet in Otakuthon?

>>8291434
Last year was the couches near the tampon trees if you're talking about the meetup.

>>8290732
If i show up to this meet up what is to be expected? Do only the tripfags talk to each other and do we just chill for and then leave?

>>8291670
We shake hands, introduce ourselves, compliment on cosplays, maybe if we hit it off we'll hang out at a room party. You probably don't even know what the tripfags look like, so don't worry about them being cliquey. For all you know, they are just anons.

>>8291737
I'll probably go then. By the way canada threads seems to go, I thought that the meet ups would be snobby and drama filled.
So where are we meeting up because I heard something about beer and poutine.

>>8291759
So far it's looking like 8pm on Friday. In front of the International Plaza pool.

>tfw I really want to buy the weekend pass from a seagull but they just haven't responded to my email

Maybe if I complain on here they'll see it and reply.

>>8291310
>Kariya Park, dat truffle.

LOL you kept the wrapper?

>tfw you pretend to like truffle girl but you're actually really jealous and hate her for no good reason

>>8292439
sorry.

>>8292439
So what bad reason do you have for hating her?

>>8290765
The moonlight ball starts at 8 doesn't it? Is there any reason it can't be at 5:30 on Friday?

>>8291310
>>8292429
who didn't?

>>8292495
mainly nominoichi and AA hours.

>>8292500
>>8292429
i no longer feel ashamed

>>8291310
>>8292500
>>8292539
This is too cute

>>8292565
That's creepy as fuck

>>8292495
it starts at 9pm I believe.

>still doesn't know who truffle-chan is and was at the Kariya Park picnic.

>>8292585
What's wrong with keeping mementos?

I might be moving to Toronto. Are the lolitas easy to get along with or clique-y or salty? I'm scared.

>>8292837
I just started to get into lolita and am still trying to get over social anxiety and become friends with some, but from what it seems, a lot of them are easily approachable so you should be fine anon.

I've never seen any MTL Lolita comm, just a few lolitas here and there and Popkakumei(whom I have a lot hate relationship w/)

>>8292837
They are pretty shitty from my experience.

>>8293144
You're pretty shitty, from my experience.

>>8292837
Just avoid Voldie and you'll be fine.

>>8293040
Yeah? They have a FB page. Only met them a couple of times at swap meets, but they seem nice enough.

>>8292501

Nominoichi starts at 7 though?

>>8293428
Thanks to all the cons I'm going to this summer I've used up 13 our of my 14 vacay days at work. Now I just have to tell the boss.

But that means I got an AA table at both ConBravo and Otakuthon on top of Anime North, so I'm uber pumped for that.

>>8293603

>>8294238
>>8291802
if you guys are really desperate you can always buy scalped tickets off kijiji

>>8294252
Pro pointer. Thanks

on that topic,

what's everyone's thoughts on scalped AN tickets?

>>8294267
Pretty sure it's illegal, but supply/demand it's justified.

>>8293461
4 weeks if you include Otakuthon

ummm once again to montrealers since google is kinda being retarded I'm finding stuff but seagulls giving names would be nice the plateau does have 2 manga cafes Ive been in both and ya mostly gaiatier childfren

where does one find weeb friends in montreal and if I wanted to serve tea to qt3.14 lolitas and semi pamper them in just a simple 3 piece ;-;

if I recall isn't someone here staff at otakuthon or has anyone here volunteered since I have no weeb friends I have no issue putting in 20-25 hours for the con on my free time

So I just learned that APop is having Prozzak as a guest and I really want to see them.

Just curious, any good guides or advice on how to use Toronto metro? I'm probably going to get a hotel wherever is cheaper and commute there.

>>8293612
my DA account is inactive, but I have a FB page! Search for 'designsbycorkylunn" :D

>>8294461
if you stay at the Don Valley hotel, there's a free shuttlebus to and from the con. It's pretty frequent too.

Where are you coming from?

>>8294468
Ahh really? I'd be willing to pay the convenience fee for that.

I'd be coming in from Rochester, NY. We don't have too many conventions around here.

>>8294412
I've volunteered at Otakuthon, but only 10-14 hours. I'm partaking in the AA this year though, so I don't know if I'm still going to volunteer as well. Maybe for reg or setup on Thursday?

>>8294475
oh sweet! I know some peeps from Rochester. Send me a pm through FB if you'd like (link below) and I can help you out with transit and not shit up the thread

http://tiny url . com(slash)corkylunn

so whats the story behind this?
did he not get into the photoalley so he gets to be in the gallery momiji because people complained? are there more deets i dont know of?

>>8294529
This spans back a few months. AN I think opened up their booths and Droo missed it. I don't remember if it was without warning opened up or if the timeframe was super small, but it did cause kind of a shit storm as a result. I remember a petition even happened to have Droo in, which apparently it worked but he's still not in the photobooth area.

>>8294238
I have a friend selling one.

>>8292837
We have Voldie and we have Emma. But neither come often enough to really be a worry. Otherwise we try to be friendly and make meetups that are accessible for people who are newer. We have a few events planned for May and June atm, and obviously there is AN.

>>8293040
Quebec has a huge lolita population, but I do feel like they dont have many big meets, maybe just hang out with friends thing. So it may not be something that obvious.

>>8294412
There is the Harajuku Walk in late May/early June, I think? You're bound to find lolitas there.

>>8294412
I'm volunteering this year, hopefully in the cosplay cafe. If I make it come visit! I'm not a qt3.14 lolita though ;-;

Is Anime Evolution in Vancouver worth attending? I've been to AR and Cos&Effect which were equally underwhelming, especially considering the price. I have a friend coming from out of town and she's really keen on attending a local con.

>>8293040
We actually have a quite big comm, but we don't do a lot of big meets, mostly smaller ones. There's a lot of girls who wear Lolita daily though, so you may see one of us in the metro or at chinatown.

>>8294610
Were you doing the cosplay cafe any other years? I volunteered in 2013(?), and I'm planning on trying for it again this year.

>>8294576
Emma? I'm in the SO comm yet I've never heard of who Emma is, deets?

>>8294700
POC SJW.

>>8294243
Apop is not a convention
Anon doesn't know shit
Also Apop's organization is shiiiiiit

>>8294576
>less meets due to May and June
You mean more, right? It's the perfect weather! Right before the hot humid summer and after the everlasting winter.
Some people I know are meeting nearly every day.

>>8294576
I don't get the hate for Voldie, she's been nice at every meet I've seen her at.

>>8294749
She talks so much shit behind people's backs.

>>8294749
seagulls doesn't let go of the past

>>8294754
Oh so you're that one butthurt anon who keeps insisting that's fact? I hope nobody is stupid enough to actually believe you. I'm also a part of SOL and she's a very nice girl despite how much she talks about her cats. And no, I'm not her before you go screaming that I am.

>>8294754
>>8294763
i've heard from many people she talks mad shit behind peoples backs, only witnessed it once

>>8294576
Will the comm dislike me for being "friends" with Emma?

>>8294819
Can we not do this again? We spent half the last thread debating over this and it really doesn't matter. Half the people say she doesn't and half the people says she does.

>>8294694
Oh yeah I volunteered there in 2013... I probably met you at some point. What were you cosplaying, if anything?

even voldie herself said she does it all the time. what's wrong with you people?

>>8294873
She said last thread that she only gossips about people she doesn't like, not really anything behind their backs. I've gossiped with her before about Kevin and co. but never her friends.

>>8294763
>>8294819
I don't think you two understand what "talking behind people's backs" mean.
The point is that she will not blatantly do it in front of you.

>>8294883
>I don't like her
>She must talk behind people's backs
>Not that I can prove it of course but I mean.. I don't like her so she must!

>>8294888
>i like her
>anon can't prove it
>not that I can prove anon wrong but I mean... anon must by lying!

>>8294711
I think you mean APOP is THE shit

But seriously, why are you so salty about it? It's a really fun convention.

>>8294749
Well of course she's going to seem nice at meetups. It's not until later on after the meetup she'll be shittalking about the other local lolis

>>8294566
If you could let them know I'm looking for one I'd love you forever.
Alternatively directing me to them.

>>8294576
For a second I was like "who DA fuq is Emma"

>>8294826
It's because her white knights are on here. But tbf I'm tired of the voldie hate on too. She's just as much of a salty cunt as the rest of us.

>>8294939
Isn't it a really small independently run con? I'm not salty anon, I just mean it in a "anything they pull off is likely impressive" sort of way

>>8294947
I think she is the one who posts our comm """"fatties""""", but that's just hypothesis. Tho seeing as how most of them don't share photos on cof or other platforms it's got to be someone in the comm who uses cgl

>>8294825
No.

Ok, so I hear some say APOP is shit while others say APOP isn't. For someone who hasn't attended APOP, would it be worth it to check it out for a day if they ever do single-day passes? I'm not willing to shell out for a weekend pass for something im not even sure I'd like.

>>8295015
It depends on what you really want. I'll talk about what it has to offer based on the last time I went.

APop is more of a party/rave con, so if you're into parties and raves, great. It does have stuff to offer other people too, for one, it's at the science centre so you can check out science stuff. It also still has panels, artist alley, dealer's room, game room, stuff a typical con would have. And, it has outdoor stuff like a bounce castle. I'd say most of the programming is geared towards the night though. And, if you were to go during the day, remember that you'd share the venue with the public so people get crammed into one corner of the centre (which admittedly wasn't great, considering how cramped the dealer's "room" was). I also remember there being an area for people to craft stuff and every hour they'd teach how to make something new. So I think APop has at least enough to offer for anyone to enjoy, although the price is still going to be a bit high, likely due to it being at the science centre and all.

>>8291563
What about mtl comic con?

>>8294412
>no weeb friends in mtl
Skype: sphess.muhreen
Hit me up

>>8295015
Basically, if you don't like carnival/party atmospheres, APop definitely isn't for you. It's less like a conventional...well, convention, and more like a carnival/party con. I'm not too much of a party-goer but I still loved APop last year and picked going to it this year over AN (I would've wanted to go to both since I've been going to AN since 2008, but limited funds + friends coming in from the states to go to APop)

>>8294825
No, because that is the polite thing to do. Please be nice to people you meet. You dont have to befriend every human but it is nice to be nice to people.

>>8294888
Voldie is one of those people that really, even if she was nice to the people in the comm for real, no one will ever trust her. Enough people know the shit she has done in the past, and she hasnt shown that she is a different person from back then. Once you attack people in your area, you risk the chance that their friends will be people you have to deal with. She fucked up in that respect.

>>8295280
Does the Toronto lolita comm not like her?

>>8295280
>Once you attack people in your area,
What are you talking about?

Let's cool it with the saltiness. Be nice we're Canadian eh

>>8295015
It's my favorite con in the GTA area.

>Great venue, which included in your ticket price you get full access to the Science Center which is awesome.
>Fun, carnival-like aspect, with attractions like jousting and a bouncy castle
>Fun programming like Dick or No Dick, Ramen Eating Contests, a Lightsaber battle, Nerf gun fight, Cosplay Dodgeball, Kigurumi Fight Club, "Pokemon Snap" contest, A real life Dragonball hunt... the list goes on.
>Tons of free crafting workshops, like making buttons and plushies
>The Nerdy Burlesque is always a draw and a really fun show
>Several raves and dances
>Cool performances like fire shows and circus acts
>Prozzak is performing

The biggest draw for me is that its programming is quirky and interactive, unlike at other cons. At Anime North, no panels really ever interest me. At APOP, I'm scheduled back-to-back. There's something to do for everybody.

The only downside of this is that it's not so much a "cosplay" con. Because of all the interactive programming, people opt out of wearing large or uncomfortable cosplays and go for casual versions or kigurumis instead. But all in all, 10/10 would recommend.

>>8295314
No, her and cadney seem to get along ok. And she has fellow trips in the comm who she tends to hang out with. I don't think the whole comm hates her at least.

>>8295314
I wouldnt say that, its more that you are wary of someone who is known to be drama because of their reputation. There is also probably a lot of people who dont know cgl stuff and so dont know who she is as it is a big comm. She is generally fine and it isnt like she is a big shit stirrer there, she knows that she cant pull that off.

>>8295486
>I don't think the whole comm hates her at least.

But some do?

>>8295637
Likely. Mostly the people who she anonymously posts in the ita thread. But they don't openly hate her. There's mostly civility in the Sol comm.

>>8295185
No idea, never been. I've never seen anyone talk about a MCC meet on cgl either.

>what the thread has become

every goddamn time

>>8295675
Chill

>>8295015
Selling points of the con are:
Big dance parties, room parties, caters toward the "90s kid" crowd, lots of crafts, lots of random events/panels, burlesque and circus acts, getting to see the science centre but also doing other things. IMO it is a great con for hanging out with friends or making new friends.

That said, there is a drug/drinking scene, very rave based, not a big focus on anime/comics/specific genres. It's not like a traditional convention.

My friends are introverts and one of them doesn't like large crowds or anything really to do with big parties but they both excitedly attend apop every year because there are non-rave events and it's still fairly small in size.

>>8295647
wait she posts in the ita thread? Doesn't that go against everything she stands for? Also, she I thought posting on cgl was frowned upon on the SOL comm. She's really against stuff like that so why would be hypocritical about it?

>>8295825
Hmmm...I might consider going. Likely in lolita, as there are a few lolita panels and I know cadney goes

>>8295881
Perhaps it isn't her, could be someone else from her crew. Cgl isn't frowned upon in the Sol comm, it's just most people don't go on it. I've never really hung out with voldie, but I'd believe she's not the worst our comm has.

>>8295882
It isnt that lolita heavy, and it is more of just a chilling con, so make sure that you go more casual and fun than like ott con lolita shit.

>>8291136
Somebody rescue me from here. I hate AB's comm so much it's not even funny.

>>8295675
That's Wendy's poutine, right? I like their poutine.

I'm going to be going to my first con in a few weeks, is it weird to go alone? It's a smaller one, not huge.

>>8297730
Which con?

>>8297730

I went to Montreal Comic Con alone. It is a bit weird.. not having anyone to talk to or the like.. but a lot of the people I noticed around were alone as well.

>>8297730
Huge or small I end up often separated from my group and walking around the con alone. Nothing weird if you're not creeping on others

>>8295889
Technically, you can be kicked out of SOL comm for posting on cgl, but that's only going to be enforced against people who get caught shit-talking or posting other comm members to harass or mock them.

>>8297730
Naw, it's fine. If you're generally chill and open to making conversation with people while waiting in line, at panels, etc, you might even wind up finding a few people to hang out with, if you're interested in company (easier to do with people who are the same gender as you, almost impossible with girls wearing skimpy cosplay, just because of the relative levels of creep-alert going on).

>>8297664
as a poutine-chan, I'm disappointed.
I almost want to take you on a poutine tour!

>>8297791
Ngl, I wouldn't mind going on that.

I-Is it... a date, then?

Who's the weeb I saw today in Chinatown wearing Junko's cosplay? Your wig needed some seriously styling and those boots are so inaccurate.

Also, why the fuck were you even in cosplay ?

>>8297939
>The weekend
>Chinatown
>Cosplay
MTL? She was probably like 15 why are you even asking here.

>>8298073
Yes. I went today because groceries, and I saw her.
Where else am I supposed to ask? I understand if it were a photoshoot (although, CT is an awful place for it) and she could have changed, and I assume she does surf CGL, a lot of underage losers are on this board.

She looked a lot older than 15, her friends as well. But they weren't in cossupurai.

>>8298081
I see people in cosplay at least every other weekend I go to CT it's nothing new. Just be happy you didn't run into a group of screaming homestucks or an otaku-ville meetup. And probably because CT is the closest they'll ever get to anything authentically Asian.

>>8298097
>Otaku-ville
TRIGGERED. pls anon, trigger your shit.
But in all seriousness, I fucking hate otaku-ville meetups.Why do they always fucking go to L2? It's mediocre at best.

Speaking of, I'm looking for normal weeb friends.

>>8294844
I only volunteered for a few hours one day though, so you might have not seen me. I was wearing a brown wig, red skirt, red bow/tie. You?

>>8298108
I used to go to magic idea but I think it closed down??? That's why I end up at L2

>>8297785
Huh, I had no idea. Luckily I don't.

>>8298190
Yeah, Magic-Idea CT is dead, so I don't know if they closed down, but there is like 5000 boba shops every day, and at least half of them close down in less than a year.

I didn't like their boba, I prefer the MI near guy anyway.

>>8298131
Did you have strawberries/bunnies on you and were you working as a greeter? I cosplayed Mikasa and Makoto from Free! My third cosplay was an ita mess and I'm just thankful no photos survived. If you're who I'm thinking of you probably remember me...

>>8298108
Come to the Otakuthon cgl meetup and make weeb friends there. L2 is the only sit down bubble tea place after Magic Idea closed down.

>>8298202
I've never actually seen that place open? I pass it fairly often but the doors are always shuttered.

>>8298228
I don't think I had any berries or bunnies on me, but yeah, I was working as a greeter (and served water later in the day). I do remember someone wearing Mikasa though!

> mfw shit memory
> mfw faces/names from two years ago are spotty as hell

>>8298228
Sure. If I'm not busy, yeah. What are the meetups generally like?
Magic Idea guy is always open! I go there often, IIRC, they open very late. MI CT was on the second floor, so yeah.

>>8298081
>>8297939

Did it happen to be this one?

>>8298290
Looks like it, where was this posted?

>>8298238
>Mfw same
Oh well good luck on getting accepted again!

>>8298246
I wasn't at the last one long enough to tell you much but it was pretty chill, also it was the beer/poutine meetup everyone is talking about.

>>8298295
2 minutes of stalking says her FB is Valannaria

>Be fabric shopping in the fashion district
>See a really cute lolita
>Want to say something but I'm waiting for my fabric to be cut
>See her in another store
>Awkwardly go in and tell her I like her coord

Sorry cute-chan I'm very awkward

Someone please help this poor girl

>>8298639
AN FB page never fails to be 101% cringe

>>8297791
Poutine-chan? Do you still want to take me on a poutine tour?

What do you guys think about Sinfonie cosplay?

>>8299543
never heard of them

>>8298991
Yes it's a date <3

Anyone in the GTA going to Stage Select Gaming Expo? They're having a bunch of cosplay events and guests. I'm hoping to get an SSB4 cosplay group together there :)

>>8299938
It was shitty and small last year and the owner is a creepy dickhole. No thnx.

>>8299948
Well, how's the value for a $15 con?

>>8300028
Awful. If your con is gonna be shitty because you're only charging $15 at the door, get a real plan together and charge real prices.

>>8300104
$15 is the early bird price, and what I paid. Door price is $30.

>>8300168
a one day con for $30? They better blow people on the way in or else it's overpriced

>>8300168
Hi JP
Go away

Some girl got posted here and bitched about the comments on Facebook.
I don't get why people bitch about being on cgl.

>>8300470
Probably because 90% of posts are calling people out on being shitty and they are in denial.

>>8300470
Honestly bitching about it on facebook just makes it more entertaining to post about them.

i'm from Toronto and want to go to Otakuthon but I know no one is gonna want to go to Montreal with me kek

Also these hotels wtf
>$153 a night

I don't go to non-local cons. But the few times I've been in the US I've been paying $90 a night for hotels and I thought that was expensive. I am also 18 and this is the first year I'm allowed to go to hotels by myself. I can also drink in Quebec

>>8300632
AN is also a 35k person convention with all-day/night programming covering like 8 square km of pavilions. Whatever you may think of AN's "quality", it offers a metric fuckton of programming. Stage Select was a snore-fest.

>>8300640
>I can also drink in Quebec
This is the only reason you guys come here, for drinks and touch strippers

>>8300629
You can camp in my backyard
But if you go in the house I'll shoot you

>>8300629
you should look for accommodations in a hostel instead. It should only be about $35-40/night.

>>8300632
noted, but that's nowhere near a fair comparison

>>8300684
strippers?

>>8299904
F-For real? I'd like that... But where are you from?

That street is fantastic
In 20 minutes you can get strippers, buy some books, play lazer tag, eat McDonald's and join the army

Thanks for the replies! If APOP is really that packed I may just go for a weekend pass as it's just a 20 min drive from where I live.

>>8301112
Where do you live?

>>8298964
which is why i stopped going on there.

>>8301118
Scarberia.

>>8301134
Scarborough?

>>8301134
Ouch. You get to experience one of the few benefits of living there besides easy access to Pacific Mall.

>>8300629
I'm doing AirBnB with a friend and it's only going to be $65/night in a cute little apartment 10 minutes away from the venue. Should check it out anon

>>8300640
150 is AN prices, so no it isnt that expensive. There are cheaper hotels in the area, just like any con, but it may be farther. Although the good thing with Otakuthon is that it is in Montreal so subway is a thing and the con centre is next to a station.

>>8301702
The metro is pretty convenient, but make sure you leave before midnight(?). It closes around 12pm-1am, I think? It reopens at 6am.

>>8301702
The metro station is kinda like, in the convention building at some point.

>>8301712
>>8301702
Yeah It's basically inside the convention building which is really convenient and all the food and shit nearby.

>>8301708
Even if you don't manage to leave in time Otak is open all night and has video screening rooms and the manga library going iirc.

Barely related, but it's May the 4th in a Canada thread, so

Yeah? I thought there was a no man's land period at like, 3-5am?

>>8300879
I'm from Montreal, the motherland of poutine places!

>>8300823
>>8300970
now now if you're gonna come here for strippers, you go quality or you go home. Chez Parée is the king.

Or your can opt for Burlesque at the Wiggle Room!

As a fellow poutine-chan, I fully endorse this. Poutineville is the bomb. It's basically Build-A-Bear but with poutine.

>>8301738
O-Oh... I'm not from Montreal.

I guess that means the date is no more. Sorry...

Scarborough resident here. I'm so sorry.

>>8297939
This happened on Sunday, right?
Mini-Comiccon was on Sunday at the Palais des Congres, which is right next to Chinatown, so it would make sense that she went to Chinatown after attending the event.

>>8302137
Which part of Scarborough?

>>8301436
Pretty much. At least I can get my bubble tea fix on the regular.

>>8302137
Eh, could be worst.

Ahh it's fine, I nabbed a set at GP along with some pieces for my EDH

Tickets just went on sale today, who Hal-Con here?

>>8302362
Who knows. But someone from our comm posts private Fb photos in the ita thread

So this is happening at Con Bravo. I dunno, I'm a big Banjo-Kazooie fan and donated to Yooka-Laylee which he's also involved on. Might go to meet him and get my copy of Banjo signed or something.

Not sure if I'm going to swoop by Anime North and chill outside on Saturday like the past few years.
It's always fun observing this shit.

>>8301738
>chez paré
Bitch I used to live right next to the Solid Gold

The results are in!

8pm Friday is the /cgl/ meetup.

I think it's in front of the pool at the Internation Plaza hotel?

>>8302039
>quebec city
>relevant in anything, ever

Choose one

>>8303215
we invented the poutine m8

>>8303211
Updated the event. Say we meet in front of the pool until a good amount of us show up before going inside?

>>8303780
>http://strawpoll.me/4242325
>AN regular meet up. Not the pool meet.

Pool meet on saturday, I'm assuming.

>>8303796
My bad. Have we decided on a time for the actual pool meetup? 8pm?

so she can tell people on facebook but can't google it.

>>8303698
>Quebec city
>relevant

>>8303698
Bitch
Every fucking town in the province claims to have invented it
You ain't special

So, when can I expect Anime North threads to start popping up? I'm hoping to make it to the 4chan meet up this year.

>>8304232
This is partially the AN thread. The Canada thread is always 90% bitching about the GTA community.

>>8303802
Depends, what time do they close the pool?

>>8294611
Fellow Vancouverite here

If UBC finishes the new SUB at UBC that is.....

>>8304907
According to their website the pool closes at 11pm and the water slide closes at 9pm on Saturdays.

Toronto Matsuri is on July 26th.

Is it worth going to? Looks like fun.
If I bring my normalfag bf with no weeb interest will there be things for both of us to enjoy?

>>8305247
Than we should do it at 7pm or so and then eat afterwards.

>>8305290
It was okay. Nothing special, honestly. Good for like an hour.

/cgl/ MEETUP
FRIDAY 8 PM
IN FRONT OF THE INTERNATIONAL PLAZA HOTEL POOL

(NOT AN ACTUAL POOL PARTY)

People are getting their AN passes already?

>>8305496
There was an option to have group orders sent to you.

>>8305290
how do you guys even date normalfags

i could have a GF atm but all my suitors are normies... and i get bored with them

>gf doesn't want to cosplay my waifu again for AN
fuck this gay earth

>>8305695
>going to cons with your GF

I never understood this. Aint this just, she buys a lot of shit while you hold her stuff as 50 people approach her for a picture?

As the great Che Guevara once said, "By any means necessary, the modern woman is indolent and lazy, and spends their money on frivolities."

i always smell weed at anime north but i dont know where its coming from

where are the circles at man I wanna get in on this. none of my weeb woes like that stuff

>>8305723
More like the other way around, I'm the one that drags her to them.

>>8305744
And when you go to the mayor's office, it smells like crack

>>8302964
>Might go to meet him and get my copy of Banjo signed

DO IT FAGGOT. Grant Kirkhope is a fuckin boss. Hell, I'm gonna throw on some of his tunes right now.

>>8297939
Mtl chinatown is fucking weeb central
>omg we're going to chinatown let's cosplay

I love to go there for the food and atmosphere (and try to pick up chinese chicks) but goddamn some people gotta understand that it ain't a fucking con

>>8305852
Hello outdated reference.
Ford hasn't been the mayor for awhile now.

>>8305290
it just like food...pretty much. yummy food tho

>>8302964

>>8305966
>Mtl chinatown is fucking weeb central
seriously, it's so bad. I imagine that's where everyone in Otaku-ville hangs out on Saturdays, especially at L2.

I'm going to be in Calgary/Edmonton from August 20th through the 27th for my boyfriends family reunion. Is there any good cosplay/lolita stuff going on around then?

>>8297939

kek. Since we moved up here dad has been wanting to go up there for the Chinese restaurants. I'm kindaw. worried? to go there now.

>>8306608
Go while kids are still in school.

>>8306622
And avoid all Friday nights.

>>8306622

True-true. We've been having a hard time finding good places. I saw they have a cosplay Cafe in Otakuthon - is the sushi/etc actually good..? or subpar?

>>8306632
I've only had the omurice and onigiri, and those were alright. Convention food is, as usual, overpriced for its quality though.

>>8305744
will be carryin bluntz, look for weeby fox-miko, down to sesh anyone fun

>>8306648

That's a shame. I've been having a hard time finding quality sushi. Those.. Sushi chains.. are so gross.

>>8306666
Yeah, they are. Sometimes they come up with innovative things that I like to taste because I'm a masochist though, lol. I would love to help you with restaurant suggestions, but I prefer the don and raw fish plates more than rolls so... Maybe try boul. St-Laurent? I saw a few authentic looking places down there.

>>8306677

For rolls I loved the nigiri - so far the nicest place I found was called Hasu. For actual Chinese I enjoyed Mr Spicy down here.

>>8306666
Sushi's a craft food. Why do people think chains are a good idea for that?

>>8306677
There's a really nice place I know of in Laval
It's in Quartier Laval, right next to Metro Montmorency
I think it's between a Subway and a Thai express

You can get all you can eat for $15 at lunch and $30 at dinner (it includes soup and some chicken)
Best part is that it's pretty fucking good

>>8307522
I feel like we need a site that foodmaps areas around conventions.

Projects, projects.

>>8307554
or just fucking use a map centered around the con center or hotel location like everyone else.

>>8307558
Sure, but the point is to make it specifically easier to find food and have recommended joints. Kind of like how BlogTO works or similar.

Chill, anon.

>>8307554
I think that would be an awesome idea; I have also seen this supplied by other conventions (mostly in the states). It's a shame AN doesn't do one.

eh, I'm not gonna lie. I can be a dumb blonde about stuff sometimes. Thanks for the suggestions anons.

>>8307605
We've done a physical area map for food at CB! for a couple of years now, but I'd love to have a digital option. Gonna look into this.

Is anyone coming to AN from the states?
I really need a few accessories for my phone (a cable and a charging bank) that's only available on the US shop.
Shipping to you is 3-7 days.
I can pay you the appropriate amount via paypal or pay you with cash at AN. I can also just pay online to the shop by myself and ship to your address but this kind of requires a lot of trust on my part so...
Can also pay you an extra shopping service fee.

Thanks!

>>8307998
Don't they have such things here ?

>>8306653
are you a girl or a nigga? this is crucial

if you're a nigga are you a white nigga or a black nigga (or an asian nigga)

>>8306030
you think John Tory doesn't do crack?

>>8307998
I wish I was so you could pay me in delicious truffles.

Also - if we can't make it to the meet up - will you be handing out truffles during the con? (similar to the picnic) Also do you have a recipe you use, or is it a secret?

>>8308093
My phone is batshit retarded lol (OnePlus).
It has compatibility issues with all the USB cables I've tried with it (doesn't charge at all), and my old portable charger doesn't work on it either. So I mean, if I'm going to spend money, I'd rather just spend more and go through more effort than risk it not working.

>>8308202
>if you're a nigga are you a white nigga or a black nigga (or an asian nigga)
kek

>>8307998
Look into opening a CBI address if you go to Niagara Falls/Buffalo often enough. I have an address, but I don't know when I'll be heading down to pick things up for the next while.

>>8305744
find your own goddamn dealer

>>8308473
I think it's more about smoking with other weebs at anime north than it is about finding weed

>>8308242
Unfortunately not, I don't want to carry a big tin around all day.
(Plus the truffles taste best cold, and it's getting really warm lately)
secret!

>>8308467
I never go down there lol, but thanks anyways.

>>8307554
Btw does anyone have any food suggestions at AN?

>>8308627

>>8308644
yes army food anon, WE GET IT. You posted this in the last 2 threads too.noone is impressed

>>8308627
Harveys is usually good

>>8308665
> Going to Harvey's
> During AN

HAH. Nice joke there, Anon.

>>8308665

That Harvey's is like India, made by children and will probably give you food poisoning

>>8308627
I always go to The Airport Grill Cafe (something along those lines) across the bridge. Fast service, tasty and decently priced.

>>8308742

Go look up Everage
/thread

>>8308773
doesn't everyone already know about everage shit?

>mfw i know girls who badmouths everage about his photography but still gladly shoot with him

>>8308742
Don't you dare shit on Harvey's
They have the tastiest burgers of any fast-food ever

>>8309024
Not when it's made by the managers kid who's probably picking their ass and touching your food. Harvey's makes your hamburger a beautiful thing.

>>8309024
not that specific one. Food poisoning from undercooked burgers was an issue a couple years ago

>>8295400
Going to this con after AN is a breath of fresh air. Love the workshops.

>>8309078
Same with actual children working behind the counter, too. One gave me a drink.

This was two years ago though. Didn't go to it last year.

>>8308644
Why does anyone think this is a good idea? MREs taste like absolute shit and you're going to be shitting rocks when you eventually do go to the bathroom.

14 days left!

>not sure if panic or excited.

>>8309024

Better then 5 Guys?

>>8309241
Definitely panic time
I've got two unfinished props still to do

>>8308202
am grill, no worries.
Will trade tokes for letting me borrow your dealers room pass

>>8309241
Just started my cosplay yesterday.
I really hope it turns out Okay.
