wtf are they even geeks? They wouldn't even know what to look for or what half the characters were.

>>8395249
I scrolled down their facebook page as linked on the AX facebook page. I couldn't help but cringe at every single one of their posts.

Anime expo is the best con in the world.

>>8395485
Sup Marc shouldn't you be working on prepping for AX instead of dicking around on 4chan?

I have a room with 2-3 spots left open. It's a large room at the standard downtown la. Co-Ed room. Looking for 40-50 a night, depending on how many people we can confirm.
We'll have game consoles and drinking, so room parties are a-ok. Just don't throw up.
Email me (xaltairis@gmail.com) if interested.

Where are the momoclo tickets at
Where are the rest of the ticketed events at
Please don't pull shit like last year where they announced the video game orchestra

First time coming to AX in years (07 was my last one), did anything change or miss anything besides Miku, Shoko Nakagawa (the only one I absolutely regret missing out on) and the KLK crew?

Also, what's your cosplay plans?

>>8395700
Keiji Inafune

>>8395689
It's on Thursday. Somehow that seems like a horrible day to put them on. First day of the con? Trying to avoid holiday weekend costs at the theater or something?

>>8395727
>already June and the tickets aren't on sale yet

>>8395249
>Y-YEAH US G-G-GAMERS AMIRITE

NERD CULTURE!!!!

>>8395281
Worst Honey Lemon ever, even my lady and I as casual cosplayers far surpass that sorry attempt.

Sorry didn't mean to talk shit... Just ranting... ^

The one thing I want to do at AX is touch a Seagull's boobs! Is that too hard to ask?

>>8396253
You could just do it in the beach, there are seagulls everywhere.

My group dropped out. Single bedded room at the Courtyard from Day 0-4. I'm a guy in the thirties. Looking for anyone right now. $150 per person. Please respond.

>Did you know you can get a discount at local restaurants and attractions just by showing your Anime Expo badge?

Remember the last time they tried this?

>>8396359
I missed this. What happened?

>>8396377
Restaurants at LA Live didn't acknowledge AX badges for discounts and everyone had to pay full price. I believe this was about 2-3 years ago.

>>8396349
email or contact information fam

>>8396401
Speaking of food at LA live, when I was there for MikuExpo, they were adding a new restaurant? Replacing SmashBurger? Or something? Anyone know what I'm talking about?

>>8396359
all of those places look waaaay too pricey and formal for most con goers

Will Jessica cause a huge fucking mob like last year? Is she even a guest?

>>8395178
What a fucking joke

>>8395178
Is that a guy?

>>8396436
ESPN Zone is gone. It's nothing but upscale pricey restaraunts. Just fucking go down to the Subway, Denny's, or Ralphs to get your shit.

>>8396751
Did she cause a mob? I was standing around on my phone with her in the evening, and nobody was mobbing.
She actually seemed annoyed that not many people were paying attention.

>Pic related, my cosplay crush and best Sonico

>>8396760
Nah, no way!

>>8395689
I have speakers and like 9 hours worth of music omfg so hyped <3

>>8396349
You could give up on that room and stay at the standard it will be the most epic room :)

>>8396847

Constant crowd/line for the Sentai booth in the exhibit hall to see her or for her signings or whatever. Made already bad traffic problems worse.

>>8396776
>my cosplay crush

>and best Sonico

No

> Jojo gathering on friday
> Guilty Gear/Blazblue bro on friday
> Jojos Bizarre Adventure event
That's all I have to look forward to as far as ax goes this year.
I'm really just happy to see m80s from other cons and get high in my hometown with the m80s.

>>8395249
I like buzz feed (and the try guys), but they really shouldn't be the judge of anything.

>>8397330
My Sonico could beat up your Sonico!

>>8397284
Aside from the whole beard shadow thing.

>>8397716
>people still like the guiltys and the gears

I am so pleased, tempted to dig out ky.

>>8395178
Hairy arms don't bother me,"her" shit cosplay don't bother me, the five o'clock shadow ain't bugging me..... but the fucking yellow teeth that start to look orange because of the wiggg triggers the fuck out of me. Like I want to brush their teeth

>>8398020
I got sol badguy for Thursday bruh

>>8398025
Also still three spots open possibly two if someone confirms.

It will be the best room :)

Cosplay Wrestling Federation approved for AX.

Who's going?

Tired of flakes -.-

melodybear@kuririnmail.com


Still looking for five more roomies at the JW Marriott. Room is for Wed-Mon. Email me for prices and what days you want to stay.

Who the fuck are these guys?

>>8398432
Really shitty electro music. I bet the tumblr kids are happy about this.

>>8398432
Great

>>8398432
>from new York
Well at least crunchy didn't waste too much money

>>8398432
I enjoyed their single "Prom Night" and stuff from the Scott Pilgrim game, but it's kind of a fitting choice for AX? No intention to really see it, but it's interesting nonetheless...

>>8398493
Not long after I post this do I get special access to buy their tickets ahead of schedule. Let's see here...

Tickets range from $25 in the back to $55 to be in the pit. It's all will call pickup too, which is bullshit I had to deal with for Mikunopolis.

Got a Tokyo Executive Double Double at the Miyako, got 5 looking for a 6th. Female or male, makes no difference to us, must be cool with the presence of alcohol and if you're a drinker that can handle themself than that's a bigger plus, must not be offended easily because a couple of us have an autistic/lewd sense of humor and crack jokes like that sometimes. Check in is on day 0 and check out on day 4, it'll just be $160. If you're interested feel free to contact me if you're in or got any questions.

Damn... Didn't expect any GG heads up in cgl land. I'll do everything I can to have my Slayer ready for AX. Just trying to hammer out wig and beard...
Super stoked to get my stick signed by Daisuke assuming he does signings!

>>8398624
6 people? jesus christ

>>8396751
Last year I was hanging out with some Nintendo characters in South Hall and people were gathering around to take photos and I saw her making her way through near us. She got stopped once for an interview, but from what I saw, she was mostly ignored.

>>8398432
>Not interested in going, but at the same time the special guest headliner might be Aimer

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>8398862
Where th hell are you guys getting this aimer shit fromm? Remember, this is ax we're talking

How do I get laid?

This was removed when the schedule first released.

It could be Aimer. Crunchyroll said they will announce who the guest is July 2nd 10am, Aimer's guest panel was gonna be July 2nd a few hours after when CR announces who it is.

Concert would be a day after the announcement + Aimer panel.

I will have to buy a ticket just incase. My friend I'm going to the con with will only go to one concert with me which is most likely the IA one so I'll be going to this mystery concert by myself.

Then again, Crunchyroll had Anna Yano play a concert at A-Kon in Dallas. Oh wait, is there anyway it could be Kyary Pamyu Pamyu? She is on the same label as Anna Yano and has a concert every week starting July 11. So maybe she kicks off her tour at Anime Expo.

I'll smoke with you but unless you wanna touch my dong, well keep it dank

Friends and I going as Sin Sacks this year. We don't want to spend much money making a costume, and hoping people who recognize us will be into otaku culture a bit.

Any guys who want to join our sin sack brigade feel free to ask at the con. Or anyone who is cosplaying from touhou/hentai manga universe.

>3 weeks to go
>5 pounds to lose

>>8398962

>>8398968
Just take a big shit

>>8398988
My thoughts as well.

If I need to get rid of that last 5 pounds of bloat I drink a lot of water and eat a pretty heavy veggie diet a couple days before the event.

It makes a difference. Your shit.

Anybody excited for Little Witch Academia 2 Premier?
>>8398968
seriously how do people do this thing
try eating chia seeds in your water. Shit flushes you out man

>>8398968
Go to those back alley surgeons. I'm sure they'll suck the fat out of you.

Sometimes you sicken me, /cgl/.

>>8399143
Let me tell you a story about how not everyone is a creep and how you may just be a tad paranoid and assuming the worst out of everyone makes you seem off.
>implying that is my man!!!
What the double fuck ya salty ass seagull not everyone is out to be a creeper.
>We have my boyfriend and I. Hi there nice to meet you.
>Then Tiffany and Alex.
2 couples.
>wymen only or couples preferred makes it so it isn't filled to the brim with lonely betas .

Holy shit that's it. That is it! Congrats.
Less likely to be a sausage fest or awkward. Women can be crazy fujoshi but the odds are less likely.

Which is easier to take down if they are a crazy? woman or man?

>>8399222
how many retard strong people do you run into on a day to day basis? even the horror stories just have people mentally crazy

>>8399222
100% this

>>8399225
Too many guys at conventions are too thirsty. What's wrong with trying to avoid them?

All dis self-posting doe

Who the fuck are these people
Do they sing? Do they dance? Are they voice actresses?

Or do they just look pretty?
>>8399169
What if I dress like a girl, is that okay
I promise I won't take my sausage out

>>8399267
korean cosplayers
aza was in spiral cats before splitting off
hori is one of her friends

>>8399285
and from the way it's worded AX isn't paying for them to appear.

also strangely aza is a lot more popular than spiral cats? at least on facebook. weird.

>>8399225
I generally avoid them. Being from Sf trust me I have seen crazies. I am a 5'0 tall girl so I much prefer not fighting with people and I feel safer with girls. If I have to fight though I will fight dirty and I tend to win :^)

>>8399311
yeah the TL is gonna have crazy fucks you don't want to even touch all the time but a convention is a much safer environment

unless you hang out in the bayview or hunter's point or something

>>8399325
My girlfriend told me to fight to kill if I feel my life is in danger. I am just not used to LA. I am sure cons are generally safer. But several reports at fanime made me question that. Several staff and congoers were attacked either onsite or off and that says something. So I now know to be on my guard in most instances.

This should come back

Posted in the last thread near the very end so im gonna post again cuz it didn't last.

Im a tall awkward dude looking to hang out with similar people who have some social anxiety.

If you are interested we should meet. If we get enough people we can maybe have a gathering for us social retards who can't relate to normies. If your to scared or shy to attend the regular meet we should hang out. We already have something in common.

>>8398504
>$55 for the pit

That's expensive, I saw Anamanaguchi last year for $15. It was awesome, they can definitely start a party

>>8398986
I guess I'll bust out my sin sack from touhoucon. Will you be at the touhou meetup?

>>8399411
>XD
>no

Locals or people who have been before, what are things worth checking out within walking distance near the con? I'm willing to walk up to a mile in any direction for anything interesting or 21+.

>>8400038
there isn't much in the area of downtown, just rauchy clubs and everything smells like piss.
if you go towards usc you get some good places to eat, plus alot of museums and such.
I'd recommend checking out south pasadena and pasadena in general. very good restaurants and shops.
taking the metro train is easiest but be wary of crackheads and thug wannabes. carry mace and a gun if you have the permit.

>>8400038
HOOTERS

How awful does Little Tokyo get during AX?

>>8400055
weeb central

>>8400038
DTLA is kinda shit to be honest. There is Little Tokyo not that far off.
>>8400055
Not that bad to be honest, just a bit more weebs.

>>8399873
if it's fucking porter robinson i will die happy

Yay Aimer Fate event!
http://www.anime-expo.org/announcing-seven-additions-to-guest-line-up-fatestay-night-ubw-special-event-featuring-aimer-and-mashiro-ayano/

>>8400068
What does he have to do with Anime Expo anyways?

>>8399873
Oh god, please be true. Bring the weeb here.
>>8400077
He is a weeb(?)

>>8400074
>Seating at 12:00 PM
It's going to be a struggle. :(

>>8400074
Oh boy

>>8400077
He's a huge weeb and likes vocaloids and Zelda and stuff. Idk having him along with anamanaguchi kind of makes sense.

>>8400050
yup, for downtown the draw is the whole LA live/CC/Staples/Nokia theater section. There's not much else to downtown in the immediate vicinity.

metro definitely sketchy. sketchier than bart is, at least. also once you go underground say goodbye to a phone signal unless they installed some cell towers/repeaters in the system.

>>8400074
hm, wonder if this is going to be a regular thing for AX. last year, KLK, this year, Fate, continue ad infinitum. although I don't think Fate is as hype as KLK was.

>>8400162
I felt it was around the same, but there were few Fate cosplayers. I think it's more that doing pretty much any Fate cosplay requires significant effort, while you can basically strip down and become a KLK cosplayer.

>>8400074
Anybody not using their premier badge main event ticket credit do me a solid and get me a ticket for this concert? Willing to pay more for the price

>>8400184
I got an email letting me buy a ticket early but I can't use my credit to get a ticket for some unknown reason.

>>8400217
If you're premier, their post says you can buy the ticket and contact them for a refund.

>>8399946
There's going to be a touhou meetup?

>>8400225
Huh, interesting. So does anon still want to do this? Tickets go on sale in a few hours.

>>8400050
>>8400057
>nothing interesting in Downtown
>DTLA is shit

Confirmed for not liking fun and exploring. Downtown LA is great you can:

>see the Cecil Hotel, former home to a few serial killers and the mysterious death of Elisa Lam
>Thursday 8am - 2pm Farmers market
>Grand Central Market
>Angels Flight
>see the Bradbury Building from Blade Runner
>Little Tokyo
>Visit Pershing square and Grand Central Park
>July 4th Fireworks show
>Insane amount of delicious places to eat
>weird art everywhere
>nice murals

You won't get stabbed as long as you stay around the really tall buildings, once you leave the tall buildings it gets kinda nasty.
>source:
I've worked in Downtown for years, always get out at night.

Who here is going to the Kancolle meetup?
There's two of them, one that takes place on the same day as the Touhou meetup, and another that is the day after.
>>8400364
Friday 4PM at Site 4.

>>8400404
Oh, cool! Is there a post/info page for it? I checked cosplay.com forums and couldn't find anything.

>>8400422
I've only seen a Google doc so far. Seems legit: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1McX5U19o4n7VfmrQdnKoyov8AjI-9lxaDR4OnPimwBA/edit#gid=0

>AX's face when there's no secondary verification of premier and the password is leaked

>>8400737
Pretty sure they don't care because they are getting their money regardless. This was planned from the get go most likely and it was the cheapest way to make it look like they are at least trying lol...

>>8400750
Bingo!!!
>Mfw a burrito is a sandwich according to the captcha
>MFW I have no face

>>8400732
huehuehuehue
sweet

not sure if I should buy a ticket or just try for a free one (probably in a crappy spot but free)

>>8400448
I don't see why not. How do people get into contact around here?

Are they mailing badges to people this year? I don't wanna wait on day 0 again that was a nightmare

Remember when events were part of the AX badge?

>>8400949
Only Premiere badges were sent out.

>>8401039
>>8400949
another of the Premiere perks. Even industry/press have to pick-up onsite.

Who else going to the Wakkagi band concert? Used up my included free ticket event pass when i got premier.

>>8401058
I thought that was a common thing not only at AX, but all other cons for industry/press to pick up badges on site?

>>8401238
not all of them. some send them to your address.

>>8400732
Real nice, thank you for this!

the bitch thread on cosplay.com is hilarious bad

also hilariously long in that it's been going for years

>>8401262
Haters going to hate, Anime Expo is awesome.

>>8401270
some of the things they have valid gripes about. others are just asinine. there was someone bitching about the food truck guy posting that the food trucks existed in the lots across the street from the convention center like having options on places to eat nearby is a bad thing. they even bitch about the facebook group.

>>8401192
I am!
Hopefully it starts late though, I'm going to have to haul ass over there after the Fate thing. I don't know why they scheduled two ticketed main events so close together.

/CLG/ how do I find a qt passing trap? How would I find it if it looks like a girl? Is love real?

>>8401343
on Facebook they explain it was a deliberate choice to attempt to split people's interests although given the two events it isn't the most effective. If they really wanted to split people the two events would have to be overlapping. The idea is that if you wanted IA/Wagakki you would wait in line for that (if you're GA and want to be close) and not attend the Fate event. If you want the Fate event you might not go to the IA/Wagakki concert. It's definitely still possible to go to both since concerts never start on time (although the Fate even will probably not start on time) so you would make it in time/not miss much. Might be a little tiring if you haul ass from the Fate hall (I assume the one near Petree) to Club Nokia. Could be worse; it could be the hall next to the exhibit hall that you had to run from.

I've been in the back of Club Nokia and you can still see stage no problem. It's definitely less hype in the back since you're not surrounded by the rest of the crowd but still watchable.

Selling 2 VIP pit tickets to WagakkiBand/IA. $138.90 total (original price). Email me if you want them.

I also have a 2 bed and a 1 bed room at the JW that I don't need (July 1-5, 4 nights). Tempted to just cancel them and have some lucky person take them in my stead. Otherwise give me your cc# OR pay me up front (+ security deposit) and it's yours if you need it. No clue how else I could transfer the reservation but if there's some safer, alternative method let me know.

>>8401421
cancelling your trip? that sucks
any reason why?

So who else is gonna uber/bus/bike it to and from AX for all 4 days?

>>8396291
kek

>>8401430
I used to take Greyhound to LA and then Metro bus to the CC for day one, then take the Metro subway from North Hollywood and back (where I was staying), then on day four back to Greyhound to go home

>>8401430
I'm gonna be taking the blue line to AX unless I somehow use my charm and "good looks" to get into someone's hotel room.

>>8401343
I have never heard of them but my bud says they make some good music and some vocaloid is there as well so hopefully it all turns out good.

>Porter Robinson is rumored to the mystery guest

I will fucking cut a motherfucker to get in.

>>8401445
you can watch one of their older concerts on youtube and decide. I like their sort of music. Japanese stuff + rock.

>>8401427
No not cancelling. Friend ended up getting rooms at the Residence Inn somehow and cheaper rate + free breakfast won my heart.

Selling the tickets because I'd rather go to the Fate event, LL! screening, and MomoClo instead of rushing between 3 events on Saturday.

>>8401466
tip about the LL screening: you can, if you so feel, download it since it's from last year (the 2015 event is not yet released). although I guess it'll be fun with all the other fans. as far as the goodies go since they give them out at the beginning I was going to grab and run since I've already seen it.

>>8401471
Yeah, I know. Really sucks since I'd prefer a live concert but it's better than nothing. I'm only going because it's pretty cheap and you get goodies lol.

Either way running from the Fate event to WagakkiBand does not sound fun at all so I'd rather sell the Wagakki tickets and catch MomoClo since I care about both artists equally. AX scheduling sucks ass. :(

>>8401528
yeah, kind of dumb. nothing really on friday.

thursday: momoclo/kiss
friday: ??? little witch, but that's not ticketed. burlesque but that's dumb.
saturday: fate, wagakki, love live, masq
sunday: lol its sunday

>>8401368
Trap here.
Bitch you won't find me. Rest assured I'll be avoiding your thirsty ass.

>>8400732
Thanks anon, is this shit worth it? I don't like dubs but I'm a ufotablefag and Aimer is pretty cool.

>>8401445
If you like folk stuff with guitars (Yoshida Brothers) they're pretty cool. They're like visual-kei rock except their gimmick is traditional Japanese folk vibes and do a ton of vocaloid covers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_xTet06SUo

>>8401564
depends on how much you like the seiyuu and listening to the panel. if it's like the KLK event it's a bunch of time wasted on the anime screening itself, the seiyuu and staff talking, and a really short music performance

>>8401283
Someone just made a thread in the facebook group saying Japan wasn't that bad during WW2 so they do have a point about the facebook group. It went about as well you would expect. A lot of people more or less saying "niggah are you kidding me?" and some chiming in about "everyone did bad stuff"

>>8400732
holy shit I am going to that fucking fate event if it fucking kills me I'm a dubfag and I love fate let's fucking do this shit thank you

>>8401574
Should post some pics of the decapitated heads of civilians the japanese soldiers occupation did to discourage any rebellions in the towns they were in while in the Philippines.

>>8401584
The Philippines, Korea, Manchuria...not to mention being allied with FUCKING ADOLF HITLER

>>8401582
>>8400732
thank you so much anon I just got my ticket I couldn't be happier this is honestly the second best decision I ever made in my life only behind dropping out of college

>>8401584
>>8401587
He deleted the thread after it was made clear he was a retard. He said that his history teacher and classmates were telling him the Japanese were pretty fucking bad and he apparently did not believe them or did zero research into the matter and decided to ask facebook. A Jewish classmate apparently told him the Japanese were worse than the Germans.

>>8400397
I don't think Angels Flight is running right now.

>>8401584
Unit 731, Jesus

does anyone know a good hotel that's not extremely expensive?

>>8401903
The Biltmore is the cheapest in the AX block, and it's actually pretty nice inside. Only downside is the distance from the convention center--be prepared to Uber/Lyft when the shuttle lines are super long.

>>8396776
lol is that victor

>>8400055
Just don't make a wrong turn and wander off which you can walk right smack into Skid Row.

Yeah we'll definitely try to be. Didn't realize there was a meet up so thanks for that info bro.
There will be a few of us but I'm sure we'll run into each other personally. I'm the /fit/ one.

>>8401270
Marc get the fuck off 4chan and fix AX.

>>8401283
Just to be fair, the Facebook group is full of retarded cucks.

>>8400404
Someone should really make a cosplay.com thread for the touhou meet up and other meet ups in this doc. I'm not sure how you found this doc, but I wouldn't have known about a lot of these without it.

Never been to AX before and I havent ever been to LA either. Anything I should know before I get over there? Any lolita/japanese-esque stores I should check out? Also I don't know shit about the area so if there's someplace I should totally steer clear of I'd really appreciate the guidance.

>>8401368
I'm not really passing but I'll be there for you bb
>>8402983
Lot's of Mexicans selling stuff.

>>8402974
>>8402974
>>8402974
>>8402974
Fucking this. It's like /b/ in there.

>>8402974
>>8403084
I feel like it's worst than /b/. It's like a mix of Gaia, Reddit and 9gag. Oh, and retards asking super obvious questions like "AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO COSPLAYS???" or something similar.

>>8402974
>>8403089
>>8403084
granted, there are a lot of retards on facebook but it's the replacement for the forum. a poor replacement given the format facebook provides but far better than coscom when it comes to info or questions.

First time tabling at AX, but feeling anxious since it is my first con that isn't some tiny local thing. What are my odds of breaking even tabling with someone who has way more tabling experience, fanbase, and inventory in general than me? We don't overlap very much in content.

>>8403089
recently there was the AX singles group
by far the best cringe I could take for a day before I removed myself immediately after being randomly added

>>8403128
all depends on what your content is and how the public receives it.

>>8403186
i'm not sure i'm brave enough to visit that

>>8403199
>>8403186
Ayyyy, I had the exact same experience.
Don't touch it, it's disgusting. Literally fat neckbeards and SJW trash talking about all of the sex that they aren't getting.

>>8403205
>Literally fat neckbeards and SJW trash talking about all of the sex that they aren't getting
did you mean the fanime thread?

>>8401430
Im just gonna walk it i live pretty close. Takes like 30 minutes.

>>8403205
You looking for roommates still?

>>8402983
Don't go south of the Convention Center unless you wanna get shanked

Little Tokyo will be full of weebs, but it has some cool shops

Xlanes for bowling

>>8403264
Not sure. Waiting to hear back sometime this week. Do I know you?

>>8403286
Nope

Who IA here?
M-maybe we can go to the concert together.

When is the /cgl/ meetup?

>>8403290
Questionable anon is questionable. :<

>>8403297
It's not decided yet.

>>8403302
He just wants to get your dick wet. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe you'll find his mouth is a good place to store your phallus at night.

>>8403319
Plz anon, we all know I only take dick, I don't give it.
But either way, if you're a friend of a seagull I know well or a cute Asian boy, I'll let you know if I end up with room.

>>8403324
Well shit, there goes that plan.

>>8403324
If you hadnt found roommates I would have offered you a spot for a price

>>8401543
B-but im not scary or thirsty was just wondering, I mean im a fuccboi myself I just like other fuccbois..

>>8403354
>for a price
I go to cons expecting to have no roommates, so if I do, it's just a bonus. Plus I'm hosting an orgy and doing that in someone else's room just isn't a classy thing to do.

In other news, nobody has any short green wigs in stock and it's really hurting my Tonberry game.

>>8403380
Orgy or a gangbang?
Orgy implies multiples of each gender

>>8403380
>I'm hosting an orgy
Do tell.

>>8403380
I want to bang Beanie-Kun!!

>>8403409
Or for you SJWs
Multiple receiving ends and multiple givers

>>8403425
shoutouts to /cgl/ sjw orgies

>>8403428
I got the weed.

>>8402978
The doc is linked at the top of the cosplay.com official gatherings list thread. I completely missed it myself until it was posted here though.

>>8403432
bring edibles or no sale

>>8403457
ayyyy who wants brownies?

>>8403432
>weed
weed lmao

>>8403409
>2015
>Not having encountered Beanie-kun and his band of merry cosplay grills aka dick squad

>>8403418
>>8403421
beanie_kun@yahoo.com, cgl isn't very appropriate for details

Also shout out to the anon who just offered me their green wig, you're my new bae.

I want to charge for cosplay shoots, what is a reasonable amount? $100 per hour? $200 an hour? $500 an hour?

>>8403471
I get $200 per hour with my iPhone.

>>8403471
Do you come from the east coast and is this your first time at AX? This is a serious question.

>>8403186
I requested to be in the group for shits and giggles and they banned me without even accepting me. Fucking lel

>>8403554
Story? Are you a notorious facebook meanie?

>>8403577
I dunno. All I do is sometimes tell people in the group how shitty their le funni corey in the house jokes are.

Do you think I'll be able to go to any of the UBW autograph sessions without going to the special event?

>>8403607
they stopped doing tickets at panels so yeah you should be fine assuming you get your ass up early for the autograph line

>>8403099
>but far better than coscom when it comes to info or questions.
>Dealing with memelords like Tyler King

No pls.

>>8401430
Commuting via Metrolink and subways. First time I did it I thought it would be weird, but it turns into fucking AnimeLink during that weekend. Had no idea there were so many weebs in my ghetto-ass city.

Also, Kimura Yu is coming back this year for all you fashion-interested people. Hope she does another mini-concert at the fashion show, that was the best part.

>>8403099
>Voice a concern, opinion, or suggestion on the Facebook page
>All the AX Staffers and dick suckers go instantly right at you and make you look like a bad guy
>far better than coscom

Top kek

>>8403421
Fucking hell. Stop with the stop gook baseball mascot shitposting.

>>8403432
so do I fam
look for me on Friday and Saturday
doing okuyasu from jojo for Friday
komachi from Terraformars on saturday
say Ayyy lmao and we'll smoke together fam

>first time ever going to any kind of con
>not from Cali
>staying with friends that are somewhat from the area
>admittingly not big on anime, but love videogames and other stuff

So, can someone fill me in on things you would recommend to do/see with friends?

Also xalt you and your bf better not ditch Brent Syd and myself or else.

>>8403297
Wait, ia as in Iowa...??

>>8404089

I take the metrolink in as well. Valet parking is ass at the JW, plus my bf and I rarely drive anywhere else during the con. We're about 30-45 minutes outside of LA, so it's a nice easy ride in.

>AX email goes out
>Subject is simply "test"

>>8404317
>ditching them
If anything they're gonna ditch us to go to Disneyland
Also hey I'm still planning on driving to their house first to meetup and drive down alongside you guys

>>8404659
Going to Disneyland that weekend is a mistake unless you like paying another 100 on top of anime expo to wait in line. Holiday weekend, it's summer, going to be BAD.

>>8404713
Hey man that's what I told them, I'm not the one going

>>8404713
I used to live in Orange County and my friends would get me in for free sometimes and that was pretty much the only way I could ever justify going there

>>8404659
>>8404713

That's right! Were going to Disneyland for a birthday celebration + I'm taking them out to dinner, so I expect to be broke but I'll live. At least we are riding up the same time, I'm counting on you guys to introduce me to people

>flying in next Saturday already

God damn I'm hyped

>>8404599
i almost didn't click it, that seemed like some sketchy virus shit. i was so confused

welp,
The couple (who are my friends) are splitting up and cancelled everything, so my AX is cancelled unless i can find a room. i have only 2 cosplays, rock from kof and ky from GG, will pay fair share, Marriott preferred. already bought my badge and have 6 concert tickets to the fate concert as well
fuck me.

ill drop a burner email if there's even anything left, god fucking damnit.

>>8405023
Might have a spot if our final roommate can't confirm, drop your email and ill let you know
Not marriot

Who here Anamanaguchi?

>>8405023
Hey shoot me an email. We've got spot left! deadlemons@gmail.com

>>8403380
Can I have in?

>>8405023
We've also got a spot left as well.
Message me for details
contactfrank92@yahoo.com

>>8405390
Maybe.

>>8405023
Good luck, anon. It seems like there are a ton of drop outs this year, in general.

>>8398432
oh shit

Does anyone know if they are doing the free exhibit hall passes again this year? And what time at con do they start announcing them?

Anyone checking out Lounge21/CosplayDeviants room? I'm thinking I'll show up because I'm considering signing up (to do a photoshoot, not a customer)

>>8405787
if its in lounge 21 i'll go just to see what goes on in there. in the past they've had musical acts and occasionally lesser guests (starmarie)

>>8405738
They reached capacity last year, why would they give it away for free? They're just going to keep charging more and more because there's demand.

>>8405738
Sorry bruh, they don't do that any more.

Hope you got 85 bux

tfw you will always be too shy to hook up with dem cosplay boys

Hey /cgl/, I want to cosplay some sweaty mandrama characters at AX. Will that be alright?

>>8403128
It's going to be higher than most cons. People go to AX and are willing to spend money. The AX dealer's hall is so popular that in the past AX has sold dealer's hall only badges so people can just shop

>>8400050
>walking to USC
enjoy getting murdered

>>8405989
If you're a girl then you should just go for it as dudes really like it when a girl makes the first move.

>>8406264
is it Cena or Rollins

>>8406264
If it's anything to you, I'll be cosplaying Lunatic Fringe Dean Ambrose.

Plus there is the cosplay Wrestling Federation so they will be marks there.

>>8406491
you're gonna have some competition there, m80

>>8406605
I got it covered

>>8395727
I think they're trying to space out expected high traffic events to prevent a similar mess to last year.

>>8406652
Since it's in Nokia you WANT it to be crowded as hell. Historically only miku has sold out the theater. AKB at their height couldn't do it. Macross couldn't do it. I doubt momoclo will

>>8406481
This right here.

It annoys me to no end when a girl is clearly interested, but still wants you to make the first move.
Especially when it's just to satisfy their ego.
Confidence in yourself is way more attractive than confidence in your looks.

>>8405807
Is there a schedule or something? I went in a few times, but didn't realize there was entertainment.

>>8405989
Join us, anon, we'll drink away our inhibitions and leave our shame behind.

>>8406861
Maybe at the lounge itself but I don't think it was ever posted online. Nerdy lounge music would be an apt description. It was dark and you can get alcohol. Good place for a respite

>>8405145
I'll be at Loge 300 cause it was 'free' from crunchyroll.

>>8407000
Same. Not familiar with the band, but I'm always up for free shit.
>Loge 300 is now the official crunchyfag section

>>8406758
KISS fans will go but not enough to sell out the place.

>>8407016
Bought pit tickets becuase why the fuck not, it was only $20.
If yall don't know who Anamanaguchi is, they're an NY chiptune band. they did the OST for the Scott Pilgrim game. They're arguably the largest group in the chiptune scene.
If you're in LA and like that kind of stuff, there's a much smaller chiptune concert on Friday this week at The Smell. Slime girls, astroskeleton, and 2 more. check Facebook.

Anyone else panicking to get their costumes finished? Jesus I have only one costume I'm making and I'm in a frenzy...

>>8405418
What do I have to do to be a part?

When do the Momoiro Clover/KISS tickets go on sale? says early June and they still aint around..

>>8407181
You're not the only. And my costume isn't even very difficult or complex.

Hey while I'm here

How would I make these oni horns like Lum has?

>>8407202
They said "sometime this week" in response to a Facebook comment, but nothing more specific than that.
All this delay is making me nervous that we'll have another S.K.I.N disaster.

>>8407202
Wait, is kiss actually going to be there for real? I thought that was someone trolling.
Oh god is ax going to be entirely swarmed by kiss fans?

>>8407362
I doubt it. Aren't they just performing with momoclo for like one song?

>>8407362
>>8407079
Kiss fans don't go to ax, not even for kiss. It's only Simmons and Stanley there too. We'll, they are the people that are most identified as kiss so I guess that's not a big thing. Definitely not a kiss concert

>>8407373
At most two songs because they did an English song with the same music as yume no ukiyo ni saitemina

>>8407373
Atleast 1 song, probably 2-3 songs my guess

Oh they did a cover of rock and roll all night but it sucks and only momoclo fans would like it. They'll probably do that.

Anyone who is taking weed want to share? I rarely smoke but want to for Ax. I'll pitch in if you want.

Why can't Anime Expo be more like E3?

>>8407660
smoke out on Friday
look for the jojos

>>8407680
Damn. Only going on Saturday.

>>8407697
look for Komachi from Terraformars
say "Ayyy lmao"

>>8407679
You mean not open to the public and serving only as a showcase for new games but instead it'd be new anime that we already watched half of? They go balls to the wall because it's a media event with some networking on the side

>>8407702
Cool. Expect a fat guy with glasses to go up to you.

>>8407743
shizzle

>>8407743
Are you the fat guy who was at Fanime, came over to the cgl meet up, stood around for a little bit while someone else and I stared at you like 'who the fuck is this guy,' and then went '... I KNOW WHAT THIS IS,' at which we stared harder, waiting for the follow up, and then you quietly went '.. Nevermind' and walked away?

Just curious

>>8407743

Haha, no. But I can be if you want me to.

>>8407660
I got a medical card

i can be your go to guy

>>8407789
just walk up, stare, and then deadpan a "ayyy lmao"
it'll be hilarious
trust me

If anyone wants to party or just chill with Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, I'll be at the Hilton.

This is my first time at AX, can't wait to meed other seagulls~

>>8407869
kk

>going as Kaneki
>everyone will only know him from the terrible anime and as an edgelord

Why am I even doing this, there's going to be a bajillion other guys doing the same thing.

Tips on ditching people you don't want to hang out with?

>>8407950
Take them south of the convention center and run back when they aren't looking

>>8407859
Where will you be?

>>8407930
why did you pick him in the first place? were you bandwagoning?

>>8407930
I'm going to be judging you, anon.

>>8405807
It's shitty and boring. Mostly boring.

>>8407965
I'm not sure what you mean
I live in Orange County so I'm driving up but I'll be walking around the place. if you give me contact info I'll be more than glad to pick up some during lunch or whenever. I usually get stuff for my friends so I'm used to it by now. Just buy me a drink or lunch or whatever and we'll call it evens, I'll find a dispensary on weedmaps and you can tell me what you want. Drop your info and I'll get in contact.

Also if any of you guys need a rideshare from AX on a specific day, drop your info too. I get pretty good mileage and have a few free seats in my car on most days so I'm more than glad to meet a few new faces and help some people get to AX. All I really need is a few bucks for gas.

>>8408027
Poorfag. I genuinely like the manga.

>>8408036
:_;

anyone here going as parasoul from skullgirls? considering doing a black egret cosplay....

>>8407118
never thought I'd see The Smell mentioned on the cosplay board of 4chan.
Also I've come across Slime Girls online before maybe I'll check it out.
Also am familiar with anamanaguchi and like a few of their songs so i might go to the concert. hard part might be getting my friends interested. Also dont have premium+ tho
>>8405145

>>8408214
General admission is $25.
Crunchyroll is $11.95 and is a $40 off coupon, including a $10 off coupon if you haven't gotten your ticket already.
If you wanna go see Anamanaguchi I'd definitely reccomend getting the Crunchyroll+, and in addition Slime Girls and Astroskeleton are both amazing chiptune bands in their own right.
>http://www.crunchyroll.com/ax2015
Where to go once you've bought Crunchyroll+; it's not retroactive so you can buy one now and get the discount.
>fb . com /events/1576396509282621/
Details for the 8 Bit LA show. I've been to a few 8bitLA shows before, they're a lot of fun. Friday this week, $5 admission, and the environment is really welcoming. If you see a guy in a pink sweater that's me.

Sooo... anyone looking for a room? Still have an open spot. email me if you're interested and/or have any questions. contactfrank92@yahoo.com

>>8408225
yeah i was planning on upgrading to premium+ if I decide to go to it.
I've been to the smell many times before, but never to a chiptunes show. if I go I'll keep an eye out for you. I may say something or I may not haha

>>8407679
what do you mean by that

>>8408243
Feel free. if I hear anything from anyone i'll strike up a conversation, if not, no big deal.
Yeah I've been to a few local DIY shows at the smell. but apparently 8bitLA books a bunch of their shows at the smell; The chiptune Freqfest this year was at the smell. Last time I went was to see NASA Space and Doses.

>>8408248
alright cool.
i usually just go to the smell randomly hoping to discover some local bands. every once in a while though ill be surprised to see that a band I listen to is playing there

>>8408289
>the smell

My niggas, I'm definitely going to see slime girls this week. Saw them last year, they put on a fun show.

>>8408155
Do you ha a kik?

>>8408378
ya
legitimategrape

>>8408332
nice

Would a deluxe room at JW be too small for like, 11 people?

>>8410110
>11
lol

>>8410110
Yes.

>>8410110
Hell yea it's too small! Shoot eight people is cramped ass fuck lol! Speaking of rooms I got an extra spot open six people total $160 for all days. Email me if interested, contact frankvillarreal1@yahoo.com.

>>8410168
>>8410192
>>8411060
Fug. Maybe i'll opt for the suite then

Is it worth to get the 4 day pass for 80 bucks, I'm on the webpage for tickets right this second and I don't know if I should do all 4 days or just Sat and Sun? Maybe Friday and Sat?
