>is greg as crazy as i think he is or are you actually considering buying a monkey pass?

saboten will be my first american convention and i don't know what to expect.
i'm also confused with how the programming schedule works compared to asian cons.
regardless, i'm kinda anxious about it and so i don't know if i wanna cosplay or just dress up really nice.

oh i’m curious what you mean comparing to asian con programming. usually at american cons there are multiple panels and events going on in specific rooms at the same time, so you just choose what to go to.
saboten is a fairly nice size convention (though small compared to stuff in california and the midwest) but it’s all inside one hotel, so it’s nice and cozy. mostly local teens/ college age people attend so lots of people hanging out!

i think cons in my country are just smaller, i guess??
like we'd have only 1 stage where everything happens basically. that's where the guest panels are, performances, contests, etc~
and the halls are for shops, exhibits, food, and other stuff like games or maid cafes.

the schedule on the saboten website confuses me because there are different locations underneath the titles. i'm sorry if i sound dumb right now but i really don't understand.

The con is at the end of August which is Arizona’s hottest month of the year as well as the most stormy. So if you cosplay, cosplay with the weather in mind. It’s nice in the convention/hotel, but if you end up outside at any point you will overheat.

As the way it’s set up, it’s kinda like a mall. There’s many little “shops” you can go in. But you only go into the ones you want to look at. That’s how cons in most of the western world function. The vendor area is usually like a large room with little tables all lined up into isles that you can browse. The halls are usually free of stands minus a few. It allows more vendors to attend and keep the clutter of the halls down. In the first few years of cons in Arizona, they where like you described in >>10234906. But it’s grown greatly since those days. Plus that type of layout is actually considered a fire hazard.

there will be a map in the con booklet with all the room locations! describing it as a mall was the best way to put it - a bunch of stuff going on a the same time in the hotel and you just attend what you want to. usually in between events i go through the vendor hall and artist alley, or meet up with friends.

>>10234906
>>10235212 is a really good description. The hotel it's held at has 2 floors with most of the events going on. There is one large room with the vendors and individual artists with booths, a smaller room for video games and table top games, and lots of side rooms that fit 50-100 people that host the panels, gameshows, workshops, etc. There is also 1 stage room where the concerts, masquerade, and other live shows will be.

I won't be able to make it likely this year. But I hope everyone has a good time and doesn't get trampled by the BNHA gathering like last year.

clearly not. Greg believes in quantity over quality so he can simply boast about how many panels people can go to.

Honestly looking at the guide I'm very surprised how many gunpla ones they're running and while they have a lot of local artists as guests, few art or webtoon panels.

>>10238550
I'll break it down for you

1. It's offensive to non passing trannies because seeing men in dresses is giving them a reality check. They are also disgusting men in dresses.
2. It's offensive to normal, healthy brained people because a big hairy guy in a tight short dress is disgusting visually. "Natural" things being "beautiful" is a myth.
3. It's offensive to sexual degenerates like me because we know they're getting off to being dressed like a girly girl, yet they're trying to say it is just a "joke." It should be saved for an adults only convention
4. It's offensive to veterans of the cosplay scene like myself, because it's just another half-assed attempt to co-opt something that was once a sincere element of conventioning to garner attention and likes/follows

In short, ironic crossplay has been dead for over a decade now, and anyone who tries to do it should be turned away at the door. They should probably be put on the FBI's red flag list as well.
Please note this doesn't apply to the sincere craftsman or the legitimate brolita that claims to not be gay yet is.

You sound SOOOO fun at parties. I have been cosplaying and making cosplays for roughly 18 years and have absolutely no issue with them. Most people who have a well established skill set in the cosplay community don’t feel offended by them either. They are just having fun and usually look like shit any way. There’s no clout to take from you if your craftsmanship shows. Being this offended by them means you really are not that good at cosplay and don’t like someone else is getting more attention then you. Sorry for your entitlement.

Who hurt you?

But realistically you sound like one of those annoying fucking lolita cosplayers I met last year and at PCC who did nothing but make passive aggressive comments loudly every time I was with other friends doing some kind of crossplay. Last con I went to I did crossplay simply because one of my favorite anime has virtually no male characters that I care to dress up at or spend hours making a dress for.

If it's offensive to you that other people do things that literally harm no one, you need the reality check out of anything.
>1
You're assuming cross players do it with the intent to make fun of trannies specifically. Please stop stereotyping everyone, what's next black people can't cosplay as white characters? Also how do you know they don't identify female but couldn't start HRT yet?
>2
Funny because usually when I am at a bar or restaurant people ask me what's up I tell them about the convention, let them grab a picture and generally overall have a good time with people. Aside from some people who were doing street corner preaching most everyone I met was completely chill.
>3
I guess I need to tell a lot of Jojo/TTGL/etc fangirls that them doing genderbent cosplay is just fucking rude to people who are pervs
>4
If you're a vet of cosplay and get offended by someone simply walking around in crossplay you either throw yourself a convention or stick to lolita scene. They are really the only people I ever see complain about cross play because those people get more attention than daddy issues club.

I'm sure this is a post for (you)'s but know people like you at cons exist and basically ruin it for both sides of the CIS/non-CIS structure. My friend is going from M2F right now and she has 0 issues with shit at cons aside from people "defending for her" or getting offended for her when there is no issue.

Problem is if you're in phoenix the cost of getting to those said cons if you didn't get a good or lucky flight will be expensive as shit. There are a few cons I'd rather be going to, do I want to pay 2500-400 bucks for air travel? plus hotel and badge costs? Fuck no. Sabo isn't the best but it isn't the worst as CGL makes it to be.

In all honesty this is going be be a hot take but found my self enjoying the con far more when i actively avoid cgl meets at this convention. I meet up with some people who got out of the community, have more fun than meeting up with pity party cgl or "let's talk about con drama and how much greg sucks" the event. This con is fairly fun to solo with but pretty bland and annoying if you were to meet up with gulls and expect ALA, AX, or Fanime

Some people don’t live in Phoenix anon. Some people travel from Tucson, flagstaff and Yuma. If you live all the way by the Renaissance faire grounds, that’s a long travel daily and a waste of gas. If much rather spend 160 on a hotel room, get hotel reward points on my membership card and have a place to escape from the chaos. Not to mention a room where I have foods and stuff to go to when I get hungry.

You can always drive to California cons. I drive all the time to them and spend maybe 120 in gas there and back. Hotel prices are roughly the same as Phoenix and it’s really not that expensive to go there. California has a lot of different types of cons and most of them are run 100 times better then ours. It’s why I stopped going to most AZ cons unless I’m helping someone run a table or something.

I've been doing sabo for about 3 years and will never get the reason behind the hate it gets on cgl.

It's no ALA or ACEN but it's good cheap and efficient for what it is. Can't say I've ever had a real bad experience outside attempted cgl meetups that failed horribly and was a pity party thrown by lolitas. If you want to see shit cons go to midwestern cons, and not talking anime mid west. Not sure if it's just due to my growing lack of interest in panels outside some late night +18 ones that tend to be a good laugh, but there isn't anything ever offensive about the schedule it's just very middle of the road. Doubt this con will ever be anything more of an attraction to others outside flagstaff/phoenix and maybe Tuscon.

Saboten isn't a complete shit show, but if you're at all used to other cons, I'd imagine you'll find it intensely underwhelming. It's crowded due to a poor layout if it's still at that hotel, poorly run and planned as far as events and panels go, incredibly disorganized from a staffing perspective.

And, like many have stated, the Con Director has a history of being at best a bit of a selfish asshat.

If you really want to go to a con, it's whatever, could be worse.

It suffers from the same bs and bad organization as all his cons but its fine if you just wanna go for a day/get a free pass somehow and chill with friends.

Inb4 I get shit on but I'd be kinda pissed off too if people started perpetuating construction would be going on when the article you linked clearly states it is being held off during the con. When you need to fork out tons of money like I'm sure the con costs, having "ongoing construction" rumors hindering the con could be an issue.

Looks like the new outlet jumped the gun on shit, got told to take down the false article/misinformed shti, didn't and he did what anyone else would do is to put in contact with lawyer teams. This is a normal thing for businesses to do.

>>10243215
I just think Sabo gets shit on because it's during a hot month, Cali cons overshadow it in names and attendance, and labor day weekend shit. Personally for the price and being in phoenix the con is fine, I didn't grow up here and know how actually bad cons can be in the flyover states. Sabo looks like a fucking fine gift for access/cheapness. The panels are meh but do the work when you realize how many Jojo/pokemon/BnHA people are there, no one wants to hear about lolita j fashion again...

If you want good panels you know AX/Fanime exist and should just save for them
If you want part con go to NDK or San Japan

Though for me I'm not traveling to hard on laborday weekend so this con works fine for what it is, drink with cosplayers, have some chill meetups, get some merch and attend a panel or two

Personally, I think Sabo as the potential to be a lot better than it is; but, that would cause for Greg to have a new line of thinking, I personally believe sabo is held back. Though I have noticed that the quality of their guest have gone up a little bit since Taiyou Con has started bringing in more Japanese guests.

9:43 update dude, it was a false message that news places grabbed up and fucked up the mess further. There was a error pushed out that they were attempting to correct and news places instead of reaching out and waiting for clarification just pushed doom and gloom about Sabo. The article states they reached out to Sabo staff didn't get anything yet they pushed an article out without double checking. That's lazy reporting and borderline clickbait shit.
>greg is dumb
I dunno what else he's done but his responses in the texts messages posted seem to be in a full business manner. The libel part is lol worthy but that was probably a lawyer push to get it removed.

>Well they need to get their shit together.
yes cons need to plan out for your schedule and other states that don't affect them as much. Let's not go into contractual, economical, or other factors. Needs to be about your needs.

>At least the guy who runs Taiyou isn't a psychotic egomaniac.
Seriously what the hell did greg do? Like I said I moved here a few years back and Sabo hasn't been ever that bad, just kinda bland at worst. Seems like he's just a bland coordinator of events rather than some maniac as cgl makes him to be. Want an actual bad con? go to some corn cons around TN.

Greg has always had the reputation, you apparently haven't heard of it til now. There's been tons of incidents of him making call out posts specifically and non-specificaly targeting people he has some sort of beef with, usually over very small slights.

He also makes odd choices with guests. If I remember right he had Harmony Gold out, the company that made Robotech by butchering Macross, like, 2 years ago. For better, but mostly worse, he seems to just get guests he would like to see and actively ignores the current trends and fan interests.

I really don't seek drama or look for it when it comes to cons, shit that doesn't directly affect me for a convention is just silly to seek out unless you're a boring person I've found. Is there proof of this or is it all just internet/tumblr level "totally happened my dad works a funimation" that post is greg and not a larper. Not going to say he didn't cut them out but maybe there were other things like financial questions, or the fact it's during a labor day weekend making flights kinda up there also an issue? Choice of guests being odd is meh, seems like there is a fine line up for what Sabo has been in the past which is heavily normie.

On the surface it just seems like the cons tend to be blandish compared to some big names but it's not like it's offensively bad.

>Greg has always had the reputation, you apparently haven't heard of it til now.
Only time I heard something was when I've tried to do cgl meetups at cons like this one, Mesa con and that one in flagstaff. Though every time there is a meetup of sorts if you could even call it that, it feels like I went back to high school level cliques without people act to one another about shit. I've been out of the cgl arizona loop for about 1.5 years really only stop to check on the threads if anything has changed, doesn't look like it lol.

That’s because no one submits panels or anything. The comm mods have done the same panels for years that they are tired of doing them. If you have something to contribute, send a request. But mainly the people that have done the lolita stuff before have stopped doing it. The az comm has a lot of members but obviously needs better put together panels to help with the basics because we are getting a lot of really stupid questions lately and the over all appearance of the comm has gotten really sloppy in coords. Our best dressed are not as active or have moved to new states and the new lolitas are just poorly dressed asking your basic ass “ is this a reputable seller” and tags some shit like Rakuten or a well known taobao shop. Make a panel that would help the lolita section. Greg’s wife isn’t as active in it any more so Greg doesn’t see the use for it. Instead he’s just doing what has worked for him in the past. Hence why we are getting Akira yamaoka and David hayter again. Maybe if people showed more interest in lolita content Greg would get us more lolita stuff or even bring a brand shop into the con. But as it stands, we don’t really make ourself prominent enough for him to even consider it any more. We seemingly are too busy with ourselves to try and improve the community and what we get here. I’m guilty of being quiet about it, and so is everyone else.

Great, it’s this fucking asshole again.
His only redeeming quality is his figure collection, otherwise he’s such an awful annoying person. He’s so rude to anyone who comes to his panels or his display room.
He just HAS to be the smartest asshole in the room, so don’t you dare try to talk to your friends about figures or anime around him!

Not to mention he’s the type who wear a full age gap outfit.

Sorry I’m just real tired of this dudes shit.

This is the most accurate post in the thread about the panels and jfashion. It really is just tiring to do the same panels every con and the few times people tried to spice things up at AZ cons with more innovative jfashion panels (like Lolita Family Feud or the take-home crafting panels) no one showed, which is really demotivating for panelists especially if its their first time. You're right that if even a few people made a more concerted effort to drum interest and help newbies, the quality of our members would go up and so would the viability of things like asking Greg to get a j-fashion guest. I think this time of year is a rough time to do any major ventures like that though - its too fucking hot and no one wants to do anything

The lolitas are not complaining. It’s just one person who is probably roleplaying here that complained. The lolita’s that have spoke up where saying they are not making panels any more because it’s tiring planning the same thing over and over without any one else trying to contribute any more. It’s not that the con is bad ( it’s mediocre at best) but that they are simply tired of making panels that get no turn out any more. Most will still go to the con because it’s a place to gather but that doesn’t mean we have to think it’s a good con when it’s one of those cons we go to to have some fun and maybe find new members to interact with. It’s the same reason people tend to wear the same cosplays they made for pcc or more simple less extravagant cosplays. It’s a social con, not a show off con.

he didn’t cut anything, it’s just that the people who’ve run lolita panels the last bunch of years are either inactive, or busy with other obligations, either in real life or during the con. some of the only well-dressed, active members have their own shop now in the dealer hall too, so they don’t have time to prepare a panel. it’s not a greg problem, it’s a comm problem.
>bring a brand shop into the con
i don’t know, i’ve thought this would be really cool for a while but our comm is so poorly dressed that i’d be almost too embarrassed to attend. we can’t even get people to wear good lolita to the con’s “tea party”. i think what we need are some people to make long term goals for lolita/jfash events at arizona cons, good ones, and then maybe eventually we could see if greg wound invite someone like tyler / lor, or an indie brand. but i don’t want AP/BtSSB/etc anywhere near sabo until we get our shit together and are more well-dressed as a comm.

Literally what the fuck happened? I know the old generation died out and it's mostly newfag con-goers, but how can newbies ACTUALLY defend him? Defend the con if you want, but the only reason to defend him is if you're one of his stooges he uses to pad out the con scheduling without actually doing work to find entertaining panels.
Come on, brainlets. Even based Goyberg dunked on Greg for being an absolute idiot when it comes to programming for a convention.

And to all the
>if you want better content, push for it
shitters. That's not how it works. Conventions like Sabo THRIVE off of recycling low to mid tier quality content and bringing in newbies to present other side programming. When I got an offer back in - I believe 2016 - the deal was my group got guaranteed four slots at each Gregcon and one collab slot with another group. It was to keep running the same shit over and over.
If you want better content, you need to go to a better convention. It's that simple. I stopped doing programming for low level conventions and went solely to big conventions. It was fucking worth it by a mile.

In short, Greg is like the 40 year old manager at a local movie theater. His business will keep running smoothly so long as fresh faced teenagers need part time jobs. The con won't grow and has no intention of growing, because the business is fine as is. You're allowed to like Sabo, but you're outing yourself as a Greg cocksucker if you're actually defending the man.

I don't think any lolitas would defend greg, that is almost certainly pizza-faced teen cosplayers who don't know any better. Greg's a prick, he runs his cons like shit, and a lot of the reason jfashion panels died off is because he screws the panelists over hard while raking in $10/head for the fuckin tea parties. The only thing people are "defending" is that its entirely his responsibility when the AZ comm has other, more pressing things it needs to improve about itself before we can start bitching about no brand guests or w/e.

This. The majority of the comm doesn’t like Greg. The con is pretty much only for those members who have a AA table to sell their hand made things that didn’t sell at pcc or other cons. It’s a filler con. Not one worth trying to plan something at. All az cons are like that. That’s why we plan meets at bigger cons. Last year a lot of members went to the con in Portland that had Moitie. Many members even go to AX and ACEN since they are better cons with better lolita oriented guests or vendors. We travel for our content because we know there’s no hope for our local cons. Several members have tried. But the comm is also in a state of betweens. Right now it’s kinda working out it’s moderation adjustment and members activity. It’s not ideal to make even a shitty how to pannel at our local cons right now due to the current state the comm is in while it’s adjusting to new moderation and practices.

I can’t stand Greg or sabotencon. I refuse to go until the convention changes location. As everyone has been saying, the convention itself is mediocre but honestly the hotel has killed it.

Last year I wore a ball gown cosplay and couldn’t take the escalator. It took 30 minutes to get an elevator I could squeeze into. The layout of that hotel is not good for a convention like saboten. Plus the whole parking situation is a mess. The hotel refuses to guarantee you one free parking space per room, even though free parking is advertised for hotel guests. Last year they told me I should have checked in the day before if I wanted parking. I drive from Tucson. There was no choice for affordable parking. Even this year the parking is $10 a day. It’s a 4 day con. That adds up. Plus you probably can’t leave and come back, I don’t know this for sure though.

If saboten would change to a hotel with better parking and a better layout, it would be a better convention. Though admittedly it will never be great.

I dislike Greg for the way he treats staff and friends. I’ve heard many stories about him bringing in random friends as guests but totally ignoring the friends who would make good guests. On the topic of guests. He can’t seem to bring guests that can properly judge a masquerade.

It’s not the worst con in the world but it really isn’t that great. I would go if it wasn’t for the hotel. But only as a fun weekend with friends.

The short fat dude is just a creep who won’t stop messaging you once he gets your Facebook.
They’re all just very over touchy with young people and get away with it because they’re security, or on staff. Or they say that cons are just over friendly places and you need to get used to it.
Whenever an incident happens it’s always “well he didn’t intend any harm and didn’t know what he was doing therefore he’s not accountable”, when all the creeps on staff are 40-50 year olds.

You mean before everyone realized "oh this is all there will be, and we'll see eachother again and again?"

Pretty sure the reason these threads and meetups suck balls is due to the amount of actual people attending this and also on cgl are never anyone new. You saw them last year I bet and they year prior, and if you go to the next one probably will be there too. Guess that's why I still kinda have a fun time at these things and PCC is due to the fact I don't really browse cgl that often and really don't do meetups(at least in AZ much). I'm sure greg is a shitty host or whatever I don't know his bio, but the con seems fun enough for me to give them some cash for a Saturday of some vendors, dumb panels, and meeting a few people. I never get my hopes up so guess that's why I am not dissapointed with Sabo.

>Greg and all his creepy predetorial like staff that always sides with men and doesn't take reports seriously.

If something actually is happening that is shit, report it to con staff or hotel staff/security go over the cons head to get shit done. The longer you wait on something before telling staff basically makes it far more complex to prove it happened, to a point it just becomes a "okay we'll make a note of it and keep an eye out". I hate to think it but the more cgl threads I browse the more I think people just let shit slide and happen so they have something to rant and rave about throughout the year vs. doing something about it over the few days of the con

Actually know a good chunk of people who've waited and then gone to report it and basically get told that "they'll file a report of it....". Not to mention tons con staff that I've roomed with throughout the years who often tell some of the wild reports/stories they got. Protip: The longer you wait the harder it becomes to prove literally anything. Yeah it's kinda hard to say someone harrassed you or stalked you 3 days ago, or week ago, during day 1 of the con, yet do nothing till well after. Congrats people who may have seen it probably left, security footage might have been overwritten, anyone who could do anything is probably gone, and tracking down said offender may not even be possible or worth all the bullshit at that point. The longer people wait the more burden of proof piles up on the person reporting/accusing the other, and can reach a point where it's impossible to prove.

I don’t remember much from that night, but do know that I had ripped tights and came to my senses in the bath tub. It wasn’t till the next morning I reported something strange and was told that there was nothing they could do about it since all evidence was washed away. The staff was less then helpful and just said “ don’t go partying”

Natrt
I was drugged and raped at this con a few years back. I came to my senses in a bath tub soaking in one of the bath bombs i brought with me. All I remember was going to the bar by the hotel everyone was going to, hanging out with friends and people we met and the rest is a blur. But it does take some time to realize what is going on then letting it sit in to report it. I reported it with the police but a rape kit was inconclusive since I was in the bath. The con staff really didn’t do anything about it and just said to not go to parties in the future to not have it happen again. Thankfully I am on birth control so there where no long term effects of the incident, but I now have a bad taste about this con considering they didn’t take a rape claim seriously.

>I reported it with the police but a rape kit was inconclusive since I was in the bath.

lmao what is this highschool, unless you literally get up in there and wash the shit out then it's going to be there for 24-48 hours depending. Only way it would really show up inconclusive is if a condom was used which would then heavily imply consent, not even going to start on pubic hairs. Also if there was the potential issue of drugs, a blood sample would be taken no questions asked. Pretty sure at the very least they would review bar footage for anything that literally all hotels have for insurance and security reasons. "inb4 untracable shit wuz prob used" this ain't hollywood retard, most shit now can be seen or identified.

Also, if you did lead him back up to YOUR room it really does not help your case. I also highly, and I mean highly doubt hotel staff told a potential rape victim to "not party so hard". Not trying to sound mean but your story sounds that of a highschooler who watched too many day time tv police shows.

Some do stop going to conventions, but generally it's out of some insecurity; some experience left them with a chip on their shoulder so they mention a scene that doesn't remember them anymore.

Yeah no... That's not how it works retard. It's called maybe making a bad decision but it's by no means rape. Though feel free to potentially destroy someones life because you couldn't keep your panties on. Even made it to court it would back fire so fucking hard, and cost an insane amount if it even made it to court that is. I doubt anyone but Mr goldbershelkstien that would even take some case like that. It would probably be thrown out the second it came up that you brought someone back to YOUR room from a public place under your own power.

Just because you say something doesn't instantly make it so, it also really hurts actual victims because of the amount of people who cry wolf all the damn time. I have no idea why cgl in this state constantly makes up shit because they feel if they repeat it enough that it's instantly true.

>And they said they had been drugged but you still claimed it was their fault and not the person who drugged them.
I dunno about that person but the story doesn't add up, you became sober in a bath right after? No a rape kit is not "inconclusive" because you took a bath unless your cervix is hanging out or you did some really big wash. Shit is taken 100% seriously like that but hotels also have cameras, staff, their own security, etc. If rape did happen to that anon it sucks but I don't understand how you became sober in a bath afterwards, that'd doesn't make any damn sense. I also don't understand how they didn't pull bar tabs or video to track said person, I really doubt the validity of said story. Not to mention the same anon posted the same story changed slightly.

If you bring someone back to your room and fuck then regret it, you made a poor choice. That's it, plain and simple.

>I’m soo glad I live in your same state /sarcasm
yeah I can't wait to move back to Cali and get away from ASU fuckwits.

If shit actually happened I 100% doubt you would be blogging about it on cgl though most people here love to play victim to all sorts of shit.

Anon from >>10248782 here. The rest under it where not me. Just someone roleplaying as me for amusing points I guess.

We know who did it, and what they looked like. I didn’t sober up immediately in the bath, I was in it for an extended period of time before my room mate came to the room after 4 am. Security footage showed two males showing up at my hotel room, then left 2 hours later at roughly 1 am. Yes I was water logged sitting in the bath for that long. Yes they did get some evidence from the rape kit, no it wasn’t enough to be condemning. It is a cold case at the moment. I haven’t seen the people who did it to me since. I haven’t seen the people we hung out with at the bar since. It was a one time thing. I didnt want it. The security footage shows me trying to get them to leave me alone but I couldn’t walk and was barely able to stand and move without assistance. They told the people at the bar they where going to help me get up to my hotel room, asked my room mate what room it was and got me there. At the bar they appeared they where going to help me, but in the elevator they where being handsy and continued the groping as we made our way to my room. Video shows me slapping their hands away but drunkenly. The condoms they wore where never found but the wrappers where in the hotel bathroom trash.

Don’t believe it if you want. But I know what happened to me and know I didn’t want it. I am not asking for sympathy but I will share my story to maybe help others to keep them from falling into the same trap. I was a victim of rape. And I did not consent to it because they came up to my room with me. I was intoxicated and they where taking advantage of it.

I think they definitely miss out on good panels because they don't give you a badge unless you do 4 or more... which is bullshit. SDCC and AX give you a full badge for doing 1 panel. I get that it's a small con but at least give a discount or something.
I was cosplaying and literally only got asked to see my badge twice all weekend. It would have been super easy to ghost.

Frank didn't start bashing con until after Greg stopped bringing him in to run stuff.

I know first hand that Frank does not bash the cons. Hes gone so far out of his way to run those game rooms and to make sure that its a clean, fair and fun environment. The only times Ive seen even close to questionable behavior is when it came to someone being an ass hat.

I 2nd Mike from security. I’m not gonna give my friend away, but he snuck up behind her and rubbed her shoulders and back inappropriately at a con once and staff didn’t give a shit about it when she said something.
I think they told her something along the lines of “Oh he does that to everyone it’s not a big deal”.

I’m hoping this doesn’t give her away because it seems like a lot of younger women have issues with him that go overlooked because he’s security.

Taiyou con suffers the same shit but it's not run by greg so it's instantly better.

Which for whatever reason seem like they never want to be there and I can never grasp why.

I guess if you're a poor fuck who can't be bothered to even to a 20 dollar greyhound to ALA it's worth it?

As someone stated in the thread earlier, if you want to go to the cgl shit here in AZ it's not worth it.

This is another reason why I have no fun at az cons. It’s all the same people same drama same content. I have been going to California and Oregon cons for the last two years and have found the attendees a lot more approachable and friendly. Not to mention the vendors halls have been having really good prices and sales, the cosplayers are good and actually helpful to give you tips if you ask for them. I think AZ cons all think they can be the next Jessica and have to be soo up in the ego ladder that interacting with people who don’t have a following are not worth their time. I mean, all those who have made it successful in the community from AZ have moved to California because of the opportunities in the cosplay and culture field. And the obvious support for the community is pretty prominent in California since the people generally are helpful. You have your scum using people for their own gain. But there is a lot of actual genuine fans of things there that want to interact and help grow the community as a whole.

It makes me sad that Greg is just going to completely ignore valid safety concerns with his staff, just because other people in this thread are shit.
Greg constantly talks about improvement and growth, yet wonders why nothing changes.

Isn’t this the loli bait chick who said she lost her teeth because someone poisoned her with a silica packet?
But in reality she just ate a shit ton of sugar to be an “anime character”

Glad to know she’s still out there scamming

Holy shit this thread is still up?
>>10265072
>AZ thread when? There's so much shit I hear about people in the local community and it seems that everyone only waits for Greg con threads to start saying shit. I gotta know

There is no point for a AZ thread because there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT. Greg shit is completely overblown but it's basically the only thing worth talking about, for the small active community that is borderline toxic, that anyone cares to post about. The cons here are fine, but they are nothing to travel for and no one is willing to step up to replace what is there and works well enough as it currently stands. If greg is at fault for anything it's letting the cons he run become completely stale and lack luster but hey what can you do? California brings all the big names, ALA is so easy and cheap to get to that Taiyou con is not worth it unless you can't drive or something. The flights on Spirit/Frontier are so stupid cheap you instantly know its worth it to go to another con for big names, you go to AZ cons because they are there and exist.

The gull community that is still active is so pissy that going near it as a new comer is laughable, they are far too obsessed sniffing their own farts and complaining virtually everyone I know who associated with the group left a few years back.

Seriously, the best way to enjoy AZ cons is by avoiding /cgl/ at them entirely or take a bus/plane to a cali con

>>10269025
Been going to Sabo for years, con creeps will keep coming and sexual harassment will continue to happen UNTIL SOMEONE FUCKING REPORTS IT. I to this day can not understand why gulls in this state scream about it constantly being a huge issue but when asked if they reported it, it's a no or "well the staff is so shit they probably wouldn't do anything anyways". Hey fuck head, they will if not go to the hotel staff and report it they will 100% do that shit since it's a liability.
