I live 3 blocks away from this con but i still booked that wicked penthouse suite at the residence inn marriott again so my friends can party.
One year we were unable to book the room. Filled up faster than we could get it. So we had to drive home and couldnt get as drunk as the previous year. But still had loads of fun.

Hotel room is definitely a contributing factor to the fun at this con but if you find the con to be boring, then either you dont have a hotel room or your friends are boring at fuck lmao

This con literally sets you up for all types of fun. There is something for everyone.

>want classic fun?
Join the interactive panels like scavenger hunt, self defence panels, whose anime is it anyway, cosplay figure drawing
>like to party?
Get wasted af and then go to the cosplay deviants party or one of the other raves. Kigurumi party used to be better. Idk if the host changed but it used to be a great party in pajamas. Show up drunk to karaoke
>want weeby fun?
Attend AMV contest, ice breakers, photoshoot sets room, amv hell, any of richard neil's panels, draw circles, yaoi bingo, ribbon hunting contest out of your group of friends
>want to shop for merch for gifts for friends?
Attend the swap meet and go up and down every artist alley aisle. ALA has some of the best fanart merch out of any con i have ever been to. Good prices too.
>foodie?
Foodtrucks and also local restaurants. Lived in the area for 25+ yrs. Tutti Fruit Michoacana is 2 blocks away from the con next to cardenas. Weird ice cream flavors served like corn, tequila, cheese, etc. Gens korean bbq, red robins, slaters 50/50 and the general victoria gardens area nearby. Ontario mills too.

Its impossible not to enjoy this con

Only thing im sad about is that the con no longer hosts the Ice Cream Social? 2019 didnt have one for the first time in several years

The first is not a real problem. ALL women have boyfriends at all times, and to think otherwise is foolish. Your job is to steal them away.

Golden rule: Girlfriends are fair game, wives are not.

As for the closet lesbians, leave the actual ones alone, but lead the bi-leaning ones into temptation away from their overbearing girlfriends. You'll know which one to go after if they're nicer/less bitchier than their gf and actually like male attention.

If thats who I think it is, it was in the 18+ sing along panel upstairs, one of the songs started up a Naruto run around the room, and somebody just couldn’t hold their alchohol.

Got kissed by two fujoshi grills.
Not sure if I should be proud or disgusted.

[Anonymous No.10319609]

Met up with a cute grill. She was actually excited to say hi and meet up.

...but only gave me her cosplay alias name. So I am not sure what to think of that. As long as she doesn't link me her patreon, I suppose I'm good.

Peak cringe. As one Anon said, it was like an irl Sam Hyde skit. Dude starts off attacking white straight men and then misgendered like 4 people. Kept relying on strawman and slippery slope fallacies and all sorts of double standards. Some anons from here were getting heated and calling out his bullshit. It was legendary.

[Anonymous No.10327159]
