I really want to be "100% confirmed going" but
they have me a lil shook with it about to be June and still no confirmed guests. Esp with the hotel booking battle royal happening start of next month too. I'd imagine COVID is screwing them w/ getting guests, but imo AWA has always been a "Panel/Guest Con" during the day and a "Party Con" at night so it'd def wouldn't feel right w/ little to no guests.

Thurs->sun is available however the hotel blocks haven't opened up yet, so I just said fuck it and staying across the highway. I mean I'd really like to be in the con hotel and all but realistically not going to play a guessing game and I also saving some serious cash vs the 185/night the hotel is quoting out. Got something for like 100/night 2 beds so I can probably sell one off to a friend for a more realistic price. Worst case I have to uber due to rain or something, but I don't see that being more than 5-10 dollars to go a mile or so.

Also, is there a discord for this con? I recall one being around at one point and time but don't recall if I left or it was nuked or what due to covid stuff. Not talking about the con official discord, that one was a dumpster fire of like the stupidest facebook posts in one pot.

It is but we are talking a .5 mile walk to another hotel in a skybridge that's pretty nice. You can generally save about 50-60 dollars a night by just booking a little offsite. I know probably not /cgl/'s ideal location but there are decent and down right cheap hotels up by the Wellstar hospital. Even if I have to uber solo back and forth daily, most I am looking at is probably 20 bucks a day on top of the 55 I spent for a hotel. Though assuming the weather isn't bonechilling like it was in 2019, might just walk stop for food at the stadium places and go to the con after. Just use uber to get back to my room.

I get staying onsite has it's perks but hard to justify these prices. Not sure if I just had a 1 off bad time at the hotel, but the whole "can just go back to the room any time for changing/drinks/etc" never was worth it.

Wow full masks policy in October. Bars have been completely open in Atlanta for over a year now and people have been packing them in shoulder to shoulder without masks.

And here Draongcon is trying as much as they can to have a minimal mask policy. So far their messaging has been if you aren't vaccinated then wear a mask.

Why can't they do this.. Metrocon is asking for proof and will give you some identifier so you can go maskless if you're vaccinated. Seems silly of AWA to be so antivax and stuck on a mandated mask policy for an event they control.

>> No.10649336

>>10649313
You gotta realize that AWA takes place in multiple locations, the Hotel exists the 'mall' exists, and then the convention center is shared in some weird manner. From a management standpoint it was probably the path of least resistance to get all property and building owners on board with giving it a green light. I can't really say I am surprised by this as I half way expected it coming, I doubt any con that isn't out in the corn fields or the like will go full mask free. At least with the current statement it seems that no mask outside is fine for photoshoots, if they take that away I might reconsider going to this.

>>10649337
AWA is in a hotel with a mall bridging it to the convention center, so it's a bit more complex compared to a stand alone center. I was saying with all parties involved it was probably in the best interest of con management to simply make a statement like they did where it's better to be safe than sorry. If nothing else it's to cover all parties involved asses here, I half way expected something like this anyways. I don't get why vaccinated people need a mask like their statement says, but it's not the end of the world to me anyways.

Go for it then, I'm still counting on enough things to do around the event and room parties to go on that will make it worthwhile. Masks will for sure be a downer on the situation but I'm not going to lose my shit over it, ideally I'll just be outside more often than I have been at prior AWA's. If they shut down any meetups in the park or around the con center that's where I'd draw the line to cancelling.

Check spam, trash, general etc. Nothing. You would think that they would spam out this information via email first then social media to like you know promote everyone who purchased a badge about this new turn of events.

What's it going to 'ruin' exactly here anon? Are you planning on parking at the stadium or something?

During the game it will be empty for any bar stuff unless you go eat at battery park, most shit across the highway that isn't a sports bar should be the norm.
Parking should be easy since you do it at your hotel.
Most people will only show up an hour or two before the game, tailgate by the stadium only, then leave.

not really seeing the issue here as I highly doubt people from the game are going to jump into the convention from the game. So long as you get to the con early and either leave before/after the game ends then traffic should be fine. I guess the skybridges could be a bit more packed? Though I am not seeing the issue here other than the resturaunts by the park will be crowded and uber might be shitty.

It's on the other side of the highway with it's own parking garages and food courts.

On saturday I think so, friday I just know my friends would park at the arts center or near the total wine. There is so much parking around there not sure what to tell you.

Not really surprising, AWA staff from what I remember seems to have the idea that a pulse = best person for the job, but still optional. Once the schedule is out, less than a week away at this point, there is your answer. Going to guess 1 or maybe 2am, though without any rave or stuff I don't think I am wasting time on line con compared to the time I simply can put effort into a small room party with my friends.

Yeah so just a heads up, had to help some bongistans the last time if you ca believe that
Unless you are arriving 3-8PM just uber, look for the ride share parking on the 3rd floor IIRC. You're juggling about 30 dollars vs 15+1 hour of your time and trouble, trust me you will just do the uber.

If you want to use the MARTA, it's like 2-3 bucks, you take it to buckheadstation(food) or medical center station(quick to the con), it will still end up about 10-15 dollars so depending on the price you may just want to check. My advice is go to buckhead, get some food and unwind, then call an uber to your place.

not an excuse to let literal weeks go buy without so much as an answer. This isn't a one off thing either, multiple people are bringing up this issue only to get run around about "idk dude try emailing it or posting on the facebook, I dunno anything about that? Are you sure you did it right?"

I paid for this event, I followed all the steps, I simply want a "oh shit sorry we are experiencing this with others, can you pick up your badge as pre reg at the con?" or something other than what everyone else is getting of non replies.

I don't think that is called being a Karen for simply wanting basic answers which multiple platforms I used to ask it have been met with "dude idk bro".

Nah most people just want to know why. It's not about the money, you are making it that, what it is about is the lack of response from staff who is paid to do things such as review badge orders and ship them out. If it were amazon I'd ask the same shit, just give a response to what the options are, it's seriously not that big of a deal until lack of feedback or responses to a customer.
>when it takes 5 minutes to get through the line ablooo, ablooo
The line at AWA is like in the worst location possible and the prereg line is almost always longer than the walk up and buy line. It's in near direct sunlight and the AC just does not blow there. It sucks ass and I have never seen it 5 minutes even on a thursday.
>Now instead of arguing with me, your 1 am bitch ass could have had the email sent already.
Not all of us work 9-5 jobs, some of us are going to the con as a small get away from the past year and work late shifts.

The issue isn't exclusive to lack of badge information, it's a communication problem to many of those who rolled over from 2020 or simply don't hear shit from staff. It's an ongoing issue, like hell they didn't even post the schedule was out on their main site and left it to eventbrite.

As of this post https://awa-con.com/schedule-info/ the schedule is still not listed on the schedule page with 4 days to go. Seriously how do you fuck up this badly? There isn't even an email about it either, hell the covid update wasn't mailed out till a few days after.

Mate, all I think me and the other anons want is simply feedback from staff on the situation since covid making the waters muddled is a thing. All I want to know is
A) do I show up with my badge+vaxx card on thursday in pre-reg or not to pick up a new/original card
B) If that is not possible how do I get a duplicate badge

This isn't that hard of a question to answer via emails espcially from those coming in from out of state. At this point it is impossible for me to get a response unless they overnight it like today or tomorrow. I mean you should apply for their PR team, at least you have a pulse to respond and ignore the facts of what people, multiple at this point, are experiencing.

That's cool but has nothing to do with my question of being I paid for the badge to be shipped and it has no confirmation of shipment or not; again this isn't the issue being raised here.
>this sequence of posting makes it look like the suggestion is the con is at fault for not having enough staff.
Which is kinda sad because of the time allowed to prepare, the amount of extra work needed, and the fact that AWA's staff has been shit multiple years in a row.

Which is why being about 2 states over I asked Tuesday about badge stuff, got told to email so did Wednesday, got told that they didn't know and that shipping across the USA is delayed due to cargo ships??!?!? Messaged again never heard back and tomorrow begins where I have to pack to make it to the con, so it's basically a non option if the thing doesn't show up Tuesday night at this point. Which again leads me back to the point, could I just get an answer to if my badge wasn't shipped can I please get told what to do when I show up onsite, that's not a hard thing especially since I have my reg number, pictures of my vax card, and email/address I paid for with readily available.

This was an email thing where I was told "delays of shipping across the USA have been delayed during the past few weeks due to backups in ships and land shipping please be patient". I've essentially given up at this point and just hoping that in person I can get some help if it doesn't show up by then. Everyone says check email for a tracking number by the person I am rooming with never got a tracking # but also got their badge, so the inconsistencies are throwing me for a loop here.

This is such bullshit.

There are not significant domestic shipping problems on that scale, especially for not simple paper packages. We're talking a day or two at most..

Take this from someone that works in fortune 50 company that does a ton in logistics.

Is AWA really importing registration cardstock from China and putting it on a fucking container ship? Because that's the only excuse for 'shipping delays'. But that's also an insanely stupid thing to do.

>> No.10691110

The point is being told by uninformed staff of proper answers is annoying. It was obviously a bullshit statement given by someone who didn't know how to look basic things up or know who to contact.
>We're talking a day or two at most..
Hence why I started asking about things when Tuesday happened and badges were supposedly mailed the 16th....

I looked it up and found this to be a bigger issue that simply gets the answer from others having this exact issue a "lol dunno worked for me, just you" kind of thing.

Never again will I let myself get suckered into letting some random room with me. Dude had to be legitimately autistic. Wouldn't stop shadowing me everywhere. Just before the rave he loudly asks me "how do you pick up girls at a rave", and I made the mistake of letting him tag along when I linked up with a different group of people Friday. That group has since ghosted me because of it and the only reason that dude tagged along with me was because he heard there were gonna be girls in the group and he thought it would be his ticket to getting laid.

My dude, you try being forced into being shadowed around by someone that seems to legitimately have autism while also being stuck sharing a room with them all weekend. Dude just about up and went back home almost immediately on Thursday though because I apparently never told him masks were required despite the fact that I told him a few days before he left while also linking to the convention page regarding their mask rules. Entire weekend was full of little instances like that where he'd storm off or get bitchy about really minor things and that shit is not only incredibly taxing mentally but really sucks any fun out of anything you might be doing.

The more you vaxmaxx, the more you get infected with the mind virus that terrifies you over muh new variant or potentially getting infected by those who don't, whatever sense that makes.

i got to stay in a hotel room, they had left a kinda lazy anime flyer in the room with a giant trash bag and a bunch of makeup removing wipes for free, that was kind of nice. Do other con's hotels do that sort of thing?

>> No.10694679

>>10694605
Not really. My only experience with hotels doing anything special are the receptionists asking if I'm here for the convention and then jokingly asking if I'm gonna be dressing up like everyone else is. Most I got was during my trip to Anime Midwest this year where the receptionist just handed me a paper with a list of room rules that hadn't been updated in a while because the rules listed a completely different convention that was nowhere near the same timeframe as Midwest.

well, i know it was to make the hotel's lives easier, but gee, its brilliant.

Restaurant rules have always made masks worthless. It seems it's literally just a checkbox they have to check to get around some bullshit regulation.

DragonCon was the same way, but people in general just straight up stopped wearing them en masse after a while as they got more drunk towards the night.

I'm assuming every con this year that has mask requirements isn't going to do shit. They're running on skeleton crews, half the cops walking around the con aren't wearing masks, if they aren't going to wear it are they going to really kick people out for it?

Maybe things are different in liberal states

What was your panel anyway? Also, even though I'm considering applying to run a panel I'm not even sure what I'd even want my panel to be about. I'm thinking maybe one of those "Con Stories From Hell" type panels and trying to get a late night slot for it. I've noticed that the con stories type panels tend to be fairly popular but that's if my application actually gets accepted and isn't deemed off-topic.
