/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

First for wanting to get mad pussy

CHECKING INTO THE HYATT IN 3 HOURS

HYPED

>>8326798
Is that a fucking challenge?

Who else is still sewing?

>yesterday I was told id be picked up at 1:45
>today at 1:45 I was told I'd be picked up soon
>I've been waiting to be picked up for almost an hour
Is it that hard to organize things beforehand? I feel like I'm the only one in my group that actually communicates about travel times.

>>8326841
I'm helping a friend finish sewing tonight in the hotel room

Just checked into the Westin, 10/10 hotel and fucking service is amazing. Don't even care how much I'm paying for it it's def worth.

I didn't see from the last thread but are we doing a meet up? I haven't eaten much and the hotel bar/restaurant her looks pretty good, but pricey. Anyone else at the con yet and want to hang out?

>laid off in February
>had to cancel yearly trip to ACen
>staying home for the first time in years

>>8326850
I'd be up for a meetup but I won't be arriving until 6:30-7ish

>>8326881
Aight, I might still be down to hang out but my friends should be here and idk what they wanna do

>Go back to my mom's house days early to get ready
>Girl who usually does my hair hasn't picked up her phone in 3 FUCKING days
>Call my backup and she can't do it until 5 on Friday
>In charge of everything Acen related for my group, so I have to go early to get checked in, etc.
>Still not sure exactly how many people we are gonna have in the room
>Have to go find anyone to do my hair
>8 page paper due at midnight (halfway done, but still)

I tried to be responsible, and now I'm more stressed than when I try to do stuff last minute. God I hope the con is good this year to make up for all this shit.

>>8326893

I'm at the Aloft and all set, would be down to hang later. Westin or wherever.

Too mad my final was super easy. Got done with it in an hour.

I could be on the Amtrak right now to Chicago for Day Zero shit.

Oh well. Will be up there at 2ish tomorrow

>>8326920
How far away is that? I wish I had something besides my phone so I can google all of these locations and find fun shit

>>8326984
a mile away, according to google.

>>8326998
See you in 20 minutes then? Jk, you have a car or anything or you gonna walk to/from the con?

>>8326841
I still have sewing to do but im stuck at work until 10. I wish I could have brought stuff to work on durring my breaks rather than wasting this time online.

>>8326984
Just down Balmoral, past the Convention center. Like a block and a half from the con. It's less walking distance from the con than the Westin is, just in the opposite direction.

>>8327008
I'm not the aloft-anon you were talking to, just a random anon that google mapped the hotels for you. I imagine aloft-anon will probably walk; it's less than a mile to the con so it doesn't seem worth the trouble to drive that short distance only to deal with con traffic and parking.

Yukako anon from last thread. I'm finishing my collar and skirt waistband tonight, along with the flower on the sleeve and a painting for Richard Epcar to sign. I'll probably be getting in around 10 tomorrow morning, so I'm pretty hyped.

>>8327054

You are correct sir. I just walked to the con and back, and it's not bad at all. If anyone sees a guy with a high-and-tight in a green 'Roppongi Vice' shirt and burgundy pants, that's me. Feel free to holla at'cha seagull. I'll be wandering about.

Just a head's up to anyone driving: the fashion outlets parking garage is FREE. It is down Balmoral and within a mile of the con. I don't know what time they close the garage (if at all), but I've been able to park 'til 11p with no trouble. You don't need to collect a ticket or anything; just go in the garage and park your car, then leave when you're done.

>>8327054
>>8327038
I see now, thank you, walking around here isn't bad unless you're on shitty shoes or bad weather.

None of my friends are responding to me about ETAs to the con... Might head to the con center/Hyatt and hang out

>>8326865
I'm really sorry bro

>>8327063
I'm headed down there now to get a lanyard.

I'm in a blue flower dress with white cardigan and ponytail. Feel free to stop me and say hello.

wonder if there'll be any last-minute cancellations at the Hyatt or the Hilton. I have my Motel 6 room, but it'd be swell to get an upgrade so I don't have to walk 20 min to get to my bed...

>mfw eyebrows fixed at mall
Thank you based foreign lady.

Is wig anon still here? Gonna be wandering around so any help with my limited, lazy cosplay tools is appreciated.

>>8327116
There are always no shows. Doesn't hurt to try

My Hyatt room is in the executive wing right near the elevators and I can already hear the stupidity. I cannot imagine Saturday night drunk people coming up from the rave. Only pay off is that I got the 3:00 pm check out on Sunday so can sleep in. Also the phone reception in this room sucks.

>>8327119
I can meet you and see if I can help.

>>8327122

How shitty is the internet?

Who's still /panic/?

I am still contacting for room since my original person didn't tell me they filled up, and the person who is supposed to be my ride is not answering at all to confirm details, what the flying fuck, it's tomorrow.

I'm going to be severely upset if I can't end up going.

>>8326841
It's too late, otherwise would have

>>8327129
Standard comes free only for 23 hours if you have a room. After that you have to pay.

> get program book
> feel like the skinniest and most normal person ever
Why do cons attract such autists...

>>8327197
yes it's a real mystery huh

>>8327207
You shut your sassy mouth m8 or I'll rekt ur mum

>>8327197
> average normalfag
> suddenly a 10/10 hottie at a con
It's like that movie DUFF

I'm at the Hyatt bar/restaurant. Tfw friends won't be here for another few hours.

>>8327197
Because their parents never whoop them and never taught them how to keep that shit under control.

>>8326920
i used to love staying there, this will be the first year we aren't bc they went crazy on prices. staying at the double tree for much less. anyone have any experience staying here?

>>8327322
Stayed there for my first ACen. Normal hotel with nothing too noteworthy. If you get a king room it should come with a pullout couch iirc

>>8326850
I'm so glad the Westin is good, that's where I'm staying this year. Are they having a deal with internet for the con or will I need to pay?

>>8327322
I liked the doubletree a lot when I stayed there, and I keep trying to get back in but it fills up in a second. It strikes a good balance between price and amenities, I think. They got bitchy about towels though, which sucked. I agree the aloft is super pricey, and the room I stayed in last year was so small, I'm not doing it again.

>>8327122
Westin also has 3pm check out dude there is no reason to suffer in this way.

>>8327123
I'm free now. Where would you like to meet?

>>8327356
Gotta pay for net.

>>8327357
Walking back to the Westin to hand off room keys. What hotel are you at?

>>8327362
Aloft

>>8327373
Will you have time later tonight?

>>8327398
Sure will.

Taking the elevator up to my room, and after me 15 more (fat) people pack themselves in. It makes the beeping that means it's over capacity. Very very slowly the elevator climbs. Everybody goes LOL WHY IS THE ELEVATOR SO SLOW?!?!

Retards.

>>8327422
Loving these live tweets. Please keep us updated.

Stupid question, But I wanted to make sure.
Does the Crowne Plaza O'Hare have a bag check? It's not listed on their website's amenities list. The roomholder Isn't getting there until mid afternoon tomorrow and I'm traveling in on the blue line.

There is no fan in my bathroom. All of us eat a lot of fiber.

So err, who's staying at the Hyatt and needs/wants a roomie? Or even the connecting hotels? And what's your price? My person backed out.

>>8327478
It's a long weekend my friend

Are we still doing a meet up Friday?

#liveblogshit

>loudmouth announcer guy handing out registration forms while waiting for line to open
>still idling in line 15 minutes past when it was supposed to be open
>loudmouth jumps up to me and starts shouting about why I didnt fill out the form
>told him will-call and already did that shit
>BITCH THEY GONNA YELL AT YOU IT DONT MATTA
>no, they wont, because im will-call and don't need to fill out registration again. maybe you should communicate better with adminitration

>ended up only needing my name

Seriously trying to give me useless busywork to distract from the fact the line didnt open until 20 minutes late.

>>8327490
Are you cool?

>Still sewing
>I can't even cut a straight fucking line
>fabric is fraying
>It'll probably end up looking like shit
>Even if I finish it tonight it'll probably end up looking like shit.
>tempted to not even wear it tomorrow but I worked so hard on it.

>>8327730
>positive I'll look terrible
>cant even walk in shoes
>hastily put together and still haven't tested any of it
Yep this'll be fun

>>8327730
Caring about how your outfit realistically looks is more than 99% of shitplayers do. I am sure it will be fine.

>>8327734
How late you staying up? Friends want to go to an arcade and I'll have to drive ; ;

>>8327795
I'll be up in my room. But I'll monitor the thread.

>>8327056
I'll make sure to say hi if I see you!

>>8327809
Up for hanging out tonight?

>>8327839
Eh. Sure why not. Perhaps we could meet in the aloft lobby.

>>8327734
Let's both pray we don't end up in the bad cosplay thread.
>>8327739
That was enough to keep me going, thanks!

>>8327845
I'm having a meal over at park tavern, want to go over to the hyatt tonight?

>>8327845
If not I could meet you over at the aloft.

>>8327872
>>8327870
The aloft, please. Not to inconvenience you or anything.

>>8327875
Sure, meet at the bar downstairs in 5 minutes or so?

>>8327883
Sure. Will be the black one with short hair.

>>8326841 here, I'M DONE. The costume isn't as good as it could be but it still turned out nice and god damn I am so happy to be finished. Now I have to clean my room and pack.

I don't know how you all are doing these late night meetups, I have to go to sleep an hour ago just to wake up in time to shower/makeup and get to the con by just before 9. just slaved over my bento for tomorrow, highlights include squirting a mini bottle of mayo into an even tinier travel bottle. at least I've food taken care of for the rest of the weekend.

On an off chance, are there any carpools coming/going by Des Plaines I could pay to take part in? I am just about 2.5 miles NW of the Hyatt. Would settle for being dropped off that side of the highway and walking the rest. Cab fairs are KILLING me.

>>8327895
Still need help?

>>8328012
Yes I do.

>>8328014
Tonight? Wanna come to the Westin

>>8327717
I like to think so. No drama in any case, very chill. I think you'll like me.

You offering?

>>8328015
Are you able to leave? Trying to stay rooted to where all my crap is. I can see if I can. Would just prefer to be at my home base.

>>8328024
Yeah I could try, you're a chick right? Might be iffy if you're male cause rape etc

>>8328030
Yep. I'll be in the lobby for awhile. The black person.

>>8327993
My brother is driving me from Arlington Heights to rosemont tomorrow morning. We could pick you up.

>picked up sheldule book with kit
>immediately outdated
>cant print updated pdf

motherfuck. are they handing out final versions tomorrow? I had a hard enough time making a timeline without unexpected changes and additions.

>>8328043
That is super sweet of you. Are you heading there in the AM? I am alright with missing a 9am panel if needed and I already gots my badge.

You can google where Eisenhower Dr intersects with Pratt St in Des Plaines to make sure it isn't too much of an inconvenience. I would walk to be picked up at that intersection if its cool.

I will check back tonight or the morning if you are OK with it. I would be the white girl with longish brown hair.

Anyone interested in my pokemon tcg codes? I have 12. If we can meet you can have them free

>>8328074
>trusting people with long fingers

In all seriousness why do you have so many to give away?

>>8327993
Would you happen to be staying at the Comfort Inn? I'm checking in there tomorrow.

>>8328063
That's not out of the way at all, I'll take Higgins. I think I'm going to head over around 930 or 10. I can pick you up and drop you off wherever, it's not a big deal at all. Here's my email

Oh God

The con is tomorrow, and I still don't have ride or roomn stuff figured out. Last minute derailment everywhere.

Oh God oh Good I'm panicking bad. Send help

>>8328079
nah but as you can see, because I forgot spoilers have no power here, I am not really that far from comfort inn either. 15 minute walk.

Do you have some weekend ride situation from there? I would probably eat 15 minutes of walking to save monies depending. Looks like I am good tomorrow morning thanks to
>>8328085

yeah I will be just be heading inside with everyone else. I probably wont have to email you but ill keep it just in case. Ill keep an eye out around that time and you can post if anything changes no biggie. thanks again.

>>8328089
deep breaths you will be fine. I had a hell of a time with taxis today including getting stranded at mitsuwa with a cart of groceries. YOU WILL BE OK FRIEND. You at least have a place to stay right?

>tfw 3rd ACen in a row
>tfw can't make it 4th next year since I'll be graduating

Hopefully this one will be a blast

Anon sister I'm on my way white girl with pony tail and Asian man eta 25min

Marriott Master Race

>>8328109

Marriot Suites?

>>8328095
>>8328079 anon, I'm just driving my own car to and from the con. Paying for parking sucks but I'd rater eat that expense and have a vehicle nearby. My email is in the field if you need a ride back!

Anon sister it's pouring rain I swear

Look for me all weekend at the con, it'd be cool to meet someone else who lurks :,)

>>8328109
That is actually my preferred hotel, but nobody in my group wanted to make that long, sobering walk this year. At least you're by the Mcdonalds

>>8328152
that isn't even anime you lazy asshole

>>8328033
Eta 10 min

So is there going to be a meetup at the bar saturday night for 21+ gulls?

>>8328095
The panicking never ends!

I think I have a room, maybe not. The person I'm trying to contact from the forums is not giving answering even though he just bumped his thread today.

And my ride is already full. Oh God fucking dammit. Oh God oh God oh God, other peoples aren't replying. Oh fuck this is bad, bad bad bad

Send help! AHHHJHH

>>8328134
This morning I went out for hotel booze and Jewel had an umbrella display outside their alcohol department. I am prepared.

>>8328162
I can get $3 big glasses of wine where I am. bar prices seems not worth the money tbh for me. im interested in the non-booze meetup if its still on.

>>8328163
Sorry to hear that, my host is not going to be available otherwise I would ask her if she has room for another booking.

You also should try to seem a bit more calm and less unhinged even if you are panicking. Its hard enough to tell who is not a mental case on 4chan.

GL to ya.

I made it to my hotel! This is my first Acen and I'm super excited!

All packed, gonna be in tomorrow a little before 3. Handle of Skyy will carry me to victory, along with the 26-pack of cider my friend is picking up and the Bailey's another hotel roomate is bringing. It's gonna be so good, I'm so excited.

Is there even a point to going to these things if you don't have friends?

>>8328095
>>8328180
>not being a mental case
But then why are we all here?

In all seriousness, it was looking bad then, things a bit better now. Confirmed that if nothing else works out room wise, I got an emergency option.

Now it's just a matter of a ride there (I'm in Racine), but I think that will work out. Not for sure, but in times like these, things do end up panning out. Still working some angles, but at least one option if nothing else pans out.

>>8328222
Depends on your personality. I like sitting back and just taking things in quietly without the distraction of a lot of people pulling me around. I am sure its more fun back at the hotels with friends, but even then I am the sort to need recharge time.

Its always entertaining to be disgusted and amused by the free side-show of circus weebs.

>>8328203
Congrats. You'll like it.

May as well start the game, what I like to call the Ambulance count. See how many people get carted away to the hospital over the course of the con!

>>8328222
I've went a few times without rooming with friends and stuff. Things work out, there are friendly people there.

>>8328263
>Ambulance count

Sounds amazing, do I need to stay close to the main doors or can the sirens be heard everywhere? Is there an official tracker?

>>8328074
I dont play the computer version, just play the physical cards with my bf but I saved them.

>>8328263
Oh cool!

>>8328268
Nah, well it's not an official game, but one I like playing anyways.

Amusing more really. The rave is one of the biggest senders lol.

>>8328047
Use the Guidebook app if you have a smartphone. That's always updated throughout the weekend. The book is always basically a paperweight by Day 0.

>>8326841
No sleep tonight...

>managed to finish sewing cosplay
>final piece involve paper iron ons
>Somehow manage to fuck it up?? Probably either do to cheap paper and/or lack of sleep
>down a cosplay, but bringing it with me just in case I can salvage it.

Here's hoping the con itself is a lot less stressful and I'm less of a dumbass.

Is bringing a sewing machine to your hotel basically admitting failure?

>>8328446
It's never over until you say it is.
Get some fucking energy drinks and get to work.

>>8328451
Hello darkness my old friend

>>8328446

It's bringing the fight to the enemy, comrade

I FORGOT MR. YAN BODYPILLOW AT HOME.

Is anyone coming down from Milwaukee or in Racine who has room in their car?

If anyone needs crash space let me, got room for 1-3 at one of the hotels connecting to the convention center.

kiapaxerllor@yahoo.com

>>8328563
How much you charging man?

I saw in the program that they didn't include the Hunter X Hunter meet up. It's still happening at 1 today right?........... right?

Why do people who snore always fall asleep first?

Gameroom such a let down. For the music games, you have to pay money to play them.

Granted, they will still get my monies, but this shit is lame

>>8328646
The arcade has always been that way. Console gaming is free but the arcade used to always have rare/ older cabinets. Can't be any worse then when they had the gaming at the Hilton. I'm still guessing something bad happened and that's why the Hilton is never in the block anymore.

I cannot get back to sleep but I have like 2 hours til I'm supposed to get up .

Everyone post as much pictures as they can, please. Even of stupid shit or homestucks or ANYTHING.

>tfw all friends are there and here i am three hours away being a POS

>mfw I bought instant microwave gohan packs because kitchen space issues

may the gods of my heretiji forgive me

>>8328646

How do you even know that? The game room isn't even open yet.

>>8328621
Friend of mine says it was moved to 1pm today, which makes it just fuckin peachy that I didn't finish Hisoka because I can't make it anyways.
>it's not like I wanted to meet up with other HxH fans or anything

>>8328712
day zero roamer. I saw the games, then saw the change machine next to it. Got info from another connie who got their info from one of the guys running the machines

>>8328563
How you charging ?

leaving now for my first acen, anything i should know to make sure its a good experience?

>>8328203
The lines aren't as bad as I expected! Cool!

>>8328523
NOOOO

>>8328751
Don't spend all of your money on the first day. Don't try to do too many things. Enjoy yourself.

Any panel recommendations? I'm not sure how I feel about panels since I don't like the idea of sitting and listening to someone for an hour unless its really interesting. So far I've picked up that Oregon Trail is a must go.

Who wants a Saitama mask?!

>>8328826
Holy shit me, where are you gonna be this afternoon/evening?

>>8328833
I'll be in the dealers hall for a good bit wearing an oppai hoodie and a Saitama face. Tell me genos sent you and ill give you two.

>mfw, my badge is free again this year

>>8328840
Oh shit I hope I'll make it in time!

Hotel person here

$55 for one night
$100 for two nights
$125 for three nights

>>8329008

Wait, what?

As in you work for one of the hotels and you know there's rooms for that price

or as in you want a roommate and you're offering those prices?

>>8328789

Come to Hentarmageddon! We have dinosaurs! And manga!

Ten mins away from Rosemont. Need a damn shower.

I hate wigs in heels fuck cosplaying omg

I'm the nurse akali if you wanna say hi

>>8329244
I would hate wigs in heels, too. They would be really hard to walk in.

>>8329058
Not the op but I think that's the hotel-anon from >>8328563.

I'm not attending this year so please report back with photos, everyone, so I can live vicariously through you.

>worried I wouldn't have enough material for Hentarmageddon
>suddenly realize I now have to pick what material to cut for time

eh, fuck it, there are worse problems to have

My feet. I think I'm going to die.

A friend of mine is in the artist alley and she's getting really pissed at disrespectful congoers.

Apparently her merch is getting ruined because people keep setting their bags on her table to look at other people's stuff.

Where's a place to buy alcohol within walking distance of the con?

>>8329296
can she charge the people who did it for her merch

>>8329244
Pain is gain for cosplay

>>8329377

Depends on what you consider walking distance. There's a liquor store like a mile and a half north, I think.

At the hyatt on the couches. Who wants to sit and chat? I'm temporarily crippled due to heels.

I was thinking to myself, "wow I haven't seen a lot of exhibitionist cosplays." It was like an oppai summoning ritual

>two league cosplayers with boobs everywhere walk by
>some girl in an exposed skintight plugsuit walks by
>and then a ryuko

Like this girl was completely exposed. She didn't have the fake boobs, they were real. And she was wearing a skirt that came like halfway up her ass and showed the whole thing. I did a double take because I was so surprised. So sorry ryuko-chan, I was staring at your ass, but in shock, not admiration.

>>8329558
I was just taking a break in my room. Are you in costume? maybe I will come down

So who here /hasntleftyet/?

Going by car? Coming down from Milwaukee or something? Wouldn't mind pickup...?

>>8329629
If you're shocked, overhear some of the aircrew conversations

Some rather...liked, the displays

>>8329646
Lana

Back at the Westin to change and tare a break. Anything that is must see so far? Dota photo shoot had 4 cosplayers. League panels were shit with Wikipedia tier trivia. But the artist alley had a dude selling some dank

>>8329657
> dank
Pokemon keychains and prints, lots of variety. I hate my phone.

>>8329653
alright, if you are still there in 10 minutes I will come down and say hello

>>8329664
Thats Kaitlyn Clinkscales' work. She's amazing. The guy at the booth was probably her husband. She makes great stuff and I make a point to get something when she's at a con I'm at.

>>8329629
I'm not extremely self conscious of my body, but Acen is not the type of environment in which I'd be comfortable showing my ass. I have to wonder how they do it.

To whomever was going to room with me in the Aloft Fri-Sun, did you ever get a room? Did you not come? You stopped replying...:(

>>8329747
Yeah she was behind the booth but doing more art. I'm so impressed with the artists. I'm blowing all my money on gifts for friends.

So, this asshat has 'photobomb' on his shirt.

Edgy.

It's my first time here. And I want to buy all of the things. And I probably can. Send help. So far just a Miki chibi but I sense impending doom

Half way through handin out Saitama masks! Met one friendly anon so far hope you enjoy those masks!

Fucking holiday inn

There goes my entire schedule.

How good has it been so far? Was thinking about driving up tomorrow. I had an appointment today I couldn't miss, but I was thinking making a day or two would be doable if it was a good one.

Just got back from the Maximun Weeabo panel. If the guys who run it post here that was actually awful

Oh god. All these people are so young.

>>8330045
Meet up? Floor 10

Anyone want to meet up at the Rosemont Marroit

Hi I'm Kanji

>>8330158
Maby, we are doing anime hell, Maby a bit of midnight madness, then were gona watch Rebellion when we get back to our room

>take first hit of weed in six months on walk to meet friend at her room
>am embarrassingly high, like it is taking an incredibly huge amount of effort to type this or focus on anything
>walk into room FULL OF STRANGERS...friend is in back of room and I am forced to wade through an entire cosplay group all of whom think I'm crazy
>chat nervously with friend for a while, leave, get lost in con center, still haven't gotten to anime hell line

Dear god

>>8330197

>>8330234
We can meet up after anime hell for a bit of midnight madness, we Parked at the cta

Any cute guys/grills?

>>8330188
My friend pointed you out, good job.

>>8330234
Why tf would you skip out on Synergy? I almost flew out solely for that!!!

>>8330256
ended up back at the hotel early. i went to the neptunia panel in the morning and left after 10 minutes because of how laughably bad it was. ruined my taste for panels all day

>>8330290
Well, I'll post when we are headed back.

>>8330270
Is it actually worth? Eating weeb food at the Westin and drinkan

Yukako anon here. All the seagulls I met today were super chill and I had a blast. Especially foul mouthed Nanako.

>>8330270
...Trevor?

raves arent my thing.

>>8330270
yo why isnt this line moving

who died

>>8330336
no, wrong person. I've been going to Hardcore Synergy since it started and am sad to miss out on it this year

>fire alarm

Oh god DAMN it

>>8330360
well, so is everyone. fire alarm i guess

2 fucking years in a row

>>8330330
I do my best!

welp

now this is raving

To the Team Rocket anon who helped me with my transportation issues, thanks once again and sorry if I was less than cordial. I was feeling super ill and once I got home I literally fainted on my bed from exhaustion and migraine. I took some Midol and now I am back from death's door. You two had super cute cosplay btw.

Holy shit girl I saw you on the couches and didn't know you were anon's sister. You looked great! Your build really worked for that sweater dress. I was gonna yell "Lanaa" at you but figured you heard that shit all day.

EVERY FUCKING YEAR GODDAMMIT

Yay, about time... I bet it was the fucking furries again

So whatya doin now anon

>>8330418
DEUS VOLT

One for the ambulance count!

Smelled faintly of natural gas on the 21 floor of the executive wing. I literally was coming out of my room to go to Perks.

Rave firetruck is best firetruck

You guys got a fire alarm but im at the Comfort Inn and the power for the whole block was just out for an hour.

I just remembered I took a shit about 5 minutes before the alarm which is why I might have smelled "gas."

Went to check out speed dating panel, line filled up around corner an hour ahead. Line was entirely guys, but it's to be expected.

> tfw no cosplay gf

>>8330468
Curious as to what they expect if they can see the line is almost all guys.

>>8330490
I have no idea. I saw it like two years ago, same story.

I think ni might have solved it. Free passes. Make a panel you know will fail because no woman will show up. It's genius.

The guys there are mostly the loner autists thoug. Not to hate, but you know the type. The type who ruin panels by shouting all the time like they're in on the jokes. decent looking guys too though

>>8330514
That's is some evil genius right there.

>>8330533
Yeah, tell me about it. Most panels are garbage anyways though.

anyone in oregon trail panel?

>>8330590
Why?

Should I bring my speedlight or is there enough light already? I don't want to go blinding people to get a photo.

>>8330290
Well, anime hell ended late, fucking fire alarm, if you still wana watch rebellion with us let me know

Anything going on right? Might come tob the Hyatt as Coach from left 4 dead.

Ambulance count 2, this time a friend. Drink responsibly kids. Seagulls we should hang out tomorrow, I need to salvage this weekend.

Oh man, Anime Hell. Haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

Dude next to me kept yelling "YEAH!" at every third joke, but he seemed so ecstatic I couldn't hate him.

When is the next meet up?

Looking for one person to come to the game room to play elder sign. Take this unique opportunity to play games with THE Christian Lemur.

Man does midnight madness suck

Anime Hell was fun though

>>8330702

This. I spaced completely and missed it.

Seriously. Fuck you acen for switching the dances. Fuck you fuck you Fuck you. I was so happy amaya would be playing Saturday at that time slot.

>>8330290
Proly gona start soon anon, last call

Kanji anon here.

My 1st ACEN and after 1 day I am wiped out.
>motel 6 gave me and a friend a single bed when I reserved a 2 bed

WELP

Saw that. Hope your friend is Ok, anon. You at the Marriott?

>>8330746

Holy shit, what?

>>8330045
>that shit route

Why do I get so sick over these con romances? I end up rooming with a woman and I come back to her in bed with another man. Fuck. Fuck. Why?

Glad you had fun! It was awesome hanging with you.

Les speed dating tomorrow hollaaaa

The people in my room won't shut the fuck up and it's 5 am. Why are people so rude and inconsiderate. Not even trying to whisper or anything

Anyone play Werewolf?

>>8331040
Why are you such a fucking loser?

>>8331044
I've been out all night and want to get more than 2 hours of sleep for the biggest day of the con?

>>8331040
Don't worry man, I understand. There's tons of other places to have fun and tlak freely and it isn't your hotel room at 5am.

Are you making it obvious you want to sleep?

What's the best bro-op game in the gameroom? I'm looking to kill a lot of time there today after I drop my friend off at her booth.

>>8330792
She was, but we're in the Westin. I'm still deciding what I want to do about it.

>>8330788
My friend wants to see your cosplay at some point.

>>8330222
Trips confirm highness

Hunter X Hunter meeting was super fun.

/g/ here, don't use the public WiFi hotspots in the Hyatt, some of them are fake.

>>8330805
Due to the fire alarm, for some reason they decided to make the soap bubble Friday and the synergy Saturday. So do emergency situations always cause them to make piss poor choices? I still have a bad taste from when they cancelled half the masquerade

Best cosplay ever.

>>8331262
Wut. Are you kidding me? I missed the fucking soap bubble?

>>8331269
To be fair, I have seen a huge shift toward the synergy in the past couple years. I personally enjoy it more but it makes me feel like acen thinks that those who actively attend the dances don't care about the music as long as it's loud and in a room with pretty lights.

Whatever. I'm going to make today awesome. Wearing a cosplay that I'm really proud of and I'm still happy I didn't miss banvox or pas lam system

>>8331040
Are you me? Did your roommates stay up to finish a cosplay too?

>>8330884
What was the story behind the post this is responding to?

>>8331315
Some guy was mad because he came back to the hotel room to see the girl he was rooming with was in bed with another guy.

It didn't even seem like the guy posting even liked the girl.

Anyone got a black eyeliner pen? I totally forgot to do my scar for Kanji

>>8331402
Nevermind I got help

Ayy.

Gonna cosplay as Goat Butler from Umineko and playing the violin in the main corridor area in.the convention center. HMU.

Pantyhose are already torn and I have a blood blister. Thanks Obama.

Did anyone happen to attend my panels yesterday? jojo, anime around the world and underrated manga. Looking for feed back

>>8331492

Went to Jojo, had a blast! I wanted to ask about Araki's Tesla novel but couldn't remember the name (something something Eccentrics). Nothing that I can really suggest for it aside from maybe keeping the body of the panel spoiler-free-ish, then open up a discussion about favorite parts/characters/whatever with a spoiler caveat. I dunno. Fun panel!

>>8331499
Yeah I wanted to bring that up but our main guy was too enthusiastic. Its 'the lives of eccentrics' and araki did one story for it.

as for spoilers sorry! my imtention was to keep it at minimum but then I just let a few slip out

First person to yell "I'm a seagull!" at Hentarmageddon gets a prize.

Too much shit going on at 10 PM yesterday. Anyone up for a meet up at the Hyatt`s second floor bar at 10 again tonight? That's the traditional time IIRC

Kanji again.
Who here has sewing equipment and can fix a rip?

Anybody got a hotel room my friend and I can crash at tonight?

>>8331550

OH NO! You didn't do anything bad re:spoilers, I'm justsaying that at the end you might want to have an open discussion for series die-hards, but preface it with 'Hey, there's gonna be hella spoilers so leave now or forever hold your peace'.

Where's the meetup this year?

Just saw a Kanji and Quiet in the Hyatt. I think was them seagulls

>>8331653
I know Quiet is a.seagull.

Anyway, why is this convention full of loud ass spoiling autistic fucks lacking common sense?

>In line for Ryukishi07's When They Cry panel
>Chilling and relaxing before panel
>Loud ass niggas come and start spoiling shit right on the spot about "lol rosatrice" "lol sayo/yasu"
>Jesus fuckin christ stfu you retards

Pic related. MFW

>>8331687

Because this is their only outlet. This is their only place to feel like not awkward austists so they go around doing stupid shit like that

>>8331700
It's kinda sad really that's their only outlet is to be idiots in public. I mean I've done some stupid ass shit myself but at least i learned from it (the hard way but better than this sugar coating shit today).

Btw I'm >>8331687
Forgot my name

I wonder how many pregnancies happen at ACEN...or STD's for that matter...

>>8331770
probably more pregnancies than std's tbh
People seem to keep to themselves unless I go out of my way to force a conversation. Am I doing it wrong? or are there different circles or something

I live down the street from the convention center and I'm here in this thread to see what's happening in my town. Anyway, please contain your degeneracy (or as you call it, cosplay) to the part of town we've given you for the weekend. I hate going to Subway and seeing a line of some fat 30 year olds dressed up as Sailor Moon. Makes me lose my appetite. Also, stop pulling the fucking fire alarms for fun every year.

>>8331584
I'm down.

I'm down for the Hyatt bar at 10pm!

Seagulls, I ran out of things to do. What should I do?

I can do the Hyatt as well

>>8331687
I'm the Kanji. Me and Anon's Sister are still hanging out at the hyatt.

>>8330445
I wondered why I came back and none of my shit had charged.

Do we know what happened with the fire alarm yet?

hachikuji where you at

>>8331639
Is your friend hot and a woman and dtf?

>>8332008
Where at? Bar?

>>8332074
Were chillin' on the elevator couches at the hyatt.

>>8332045
Missed my nap alarm. What's the haps?

>>8332098
It's araragi, wanted to get a picture

>>8332125
Ah okay! Yeah I'll be down soon at the dealer's room

So did they really fucking move synergy to tonight? On the app it says they both are at 10... I wanted to go to soap bubble

>>8332193
They did. Soup bubble played last night. There will be some soup bubble did playing tonight too

Yo violin man was that you next to the restaurant? Ur pretty qt

>>8332216
No...?
I wasn't near the restaurant.

>>8332223
There's some dude playing a violin tho ur name is deceptive

>>8332229
Was he black?

Well, the Fighters shoot was a bit of a bust. Plenty of great people showed up, but only like a third of the cosplayers at the con. Plus, no one was there to organize so about 5 of us took charge.

Jojo shoot was aces, tho. Even if about a quarter of them randomly showed up and/ or left early.

Wore my Sheik today. Any other seagulls see me? I need pics!
I was the hyrule warriors version.

>>8332241
Nope

I'm chilling at the hyatt restaurant though if anyone wants to chill

>>8332284
At the red bar?

>>8331811
Seconding this. Please don't come into Park Ridge/Chicago or Norridge.

>>8328152
We drove by you and said seagulls

>>8332284
Which one are you

>one friend is an emotional w're in, only wants to do photo shoots and get drunk
>other friend didn't even bother getting a badge, is just sitting in room afar away hotel with a bunch of cosplayers I don't know and wants me to come be sober with a room full of drunk strangers, will bitch her head off if I don't join her

Goddammit, does anyone come to this con to do con shit beyond wearing costumes?! There's games, panels, viewings...

>>8332336
To be fair most of the panels this year are pretty shit. Plus the game room sucks

Panels sucked megadick, except Oregon Trail

>>8332048
No, two males but we have pot and are willing to share

>>8332336

I've hit up multiple panels and showings. The Robotech panel this morning was aces, Tony and Richard are real class acts.

Yo seagulls, anti-rave anon here.

Since I got a second chance, I guess I'll go to Synergy tonight. Look out for the bespectacled black and white shirt anon and teach him how to dance please.

>>8332270
I think I did get you. Were you with a Link?

Dude, I'm at the Red Bar and this Homestuck bro is wasted on the couch and this chick has been macking him for like 30 minutes straight. Hope she doesn't rape him. He is gooonnnnee.

whats with all the loud yelling people. Ya'll gay.

>>8332270
I wish I'd seen you, Sheik is awesome.

>>8332450
Thank you for noticing

>>8332450
People yell just at the idea of breathing here. Also I'm gonna go to /cgl/ chat while my bf goes to McDonald's. JOIN ME

How's the lolita programming been? This is the first time I haven't been at ACen in a fairly long time, and I've mostly left lolita. Did I miss anything good?

We're all still going to the hyatt bar second floor at 10???

>>8332493
You joining your bf? I'm headed to McDonald's

>tfw I just won the Monokuma Mystery panel

Feels so good, man

make sure to get in the line to the rave early seagulls

So are we meeting up at the Hyatt bar at ten?

I'll show up at the bar at 10-10:30 depending on the food I just ordered. This is my first acen and I'd like to meet some new ppl.

Who werewolf here?

>>8332336

This game room is piss poor, and the panels overall suck. This seems to be a bad first Acen, but it's still enjoyable thanks to the cosplayers.

>tfw cucked by the bar for the meetup

>>8332652
Underage? Half the guys im hanging with are too, shit sux

>>8332656
Yeah, two of us are

>tfw spending time in the video game room instead of going to panels
My favorite anime is VIDEO GAMES

>>8332611
Is this for famous seagulls only, or is a lurker still planning their first costume allowed to join?

We can meet outside the bar? Anyone is welcome.

Heading to red bar. I'm the Kanji. So should I look for?

I'm in a yellow shirt and jeans, no clue who kanji is tho

Looking for more at the meetup look for the steel chair

We are in the bar the first group you see as you walk in. Guy in red alpaca tshirt

What's the haps with the two squads on the way towards the con?

>>8332725
Kanji you got af; but eugh I'm done with my roommates fuck them I'm ready to ditch them

Anon sister where r u omg

/ck/ here. Sorry I'm missing the meetup. The bar requiring 21 years old kept me away. I can be there in 20 min if you'll still be there.

Here you go you weird fucks

Omg so ducked ip

>>8332270
Yeah dude i passed you on the sidewalk i was super impressed!

Did anyone else see Saxy at the moon kitty productions AA booth? Holy shit what a butterball.

At Garzeys Wing panel/viewing. Room full of screaming weebs, tiny projection screen in a giant room. Plus panel leaders constantly yelling into the mic and cant tell them apart from the dub.

>>8332846

Welcome to hell m8

Welp, something came up and I had to leave the con literally minutes I could get to the meetup.

Anyways, I was the Araragi with a Kyuubey backpack. I saw a lot of you guys, especially at the Jojo panel, but didn't get to say much.

I regret missing Oregon Trail because that sounded like a blast, and now Hentarmageddon. I guess there's always next year.

Anyone planning on going to the my immortal dramatic reading? My roommates are lame and haven't left the room since 7.

Hentarmageddon is in panel room 15. I thought it was in Panel Room 7. So yeah, PSA. As, uh, the guy running it.

I know this type of person, and they are the sort to just persist and persist even with a flat out no, or at best would pine over me while pretending to be fine with just being friends. I just wanted to talk to some who knows their seacats dammit.

Speaking of which Lambdadelta if you are a seagull, you kind of came off as a bit of a cunt. I am not saying you are a cunt but anytime people tried to talk to you, you came off as a bit uninterested and stuck up.

>>8331492
My husband and I loved your Jojo panel! We are looking forward to Panel Tendency next year. Because you guys finished up the informative part after about an hour, I was thinking for next year maybe add some games? What about, "Who's that stand?" in the same vein as "Who's that Pokemon?" with guessing the pose silhouette. Or maybe, the Jojo test (if you've seen it around /a/ -- basically, guess the character based on the face alone. Pretty challenging!)
