Yeah, Ohayocon was merely adequate.

It doesn't have the best cosplay or the best layout for a con. Seriously I was all Animed out this weekend by Saturday and accomplished what I wanted to. I need to find a better petticoat cause my English Charms one is still running down my Kidsyoyo and below my JSK one even after repairing the former. I did get some compliments with the tights I bought at Forever 21 as the socks and tights combo didn't make my legs feel naked.

Well. That was probably the best time I've had not buying a badge. And I'm pretty glad I didn't buy a badge.
For those I saw Friday night, I actually got in trouble for the SEAGULL sign. As well as a lot of questions about what it meant. I'm glad I was able to get rid of all my cupcakes. Oddly enough, I think I ran into more seagulls just wandering around in Danbo. greenman, I kept trying to find you at the bar. Part of me was wondering if you were real. The AT meet was the most miserably run thing I've ever been a part of. Thank god it didn't last long. Saturday was alright. bd's is an interesting restaurant. Don't know if I wanna do that again. I've already got plans to remake Danbo and make it better. Some guy running hug tackled me today while I was in it, and I panicked pretty hard as I saw him coming. I don't think I'll be going to another Ohayocon though. I mostly go because I happen to be in Ohayo, but this time next year I have a wedding, and after that, who knows?

TL;DR: Ohayocon is still pretty meh.

[Anonymous No.6567569]

>>6567554
Shmups and Touhou. At both panels actually, but the first one was more the former and the latter was more the latter.

The first panel was a bright and early 10 AM and there were literally 9 people in a 100-person room. When I walked outside and saw that pretty much everyone was still in the hugeass line I didn't feel too bad about getting nobody in though. Talked about the evolution of STGs from Space Invaders up to as recent as Akashicverse (which came out like 3 weeks ago) and how bullet hells kinda branched off from standard ones, showed off 5 minutes of Mushihimesama Futari Ultra and Raiden 1 at the end. It was pretty cool, I knew half the people there and we had some fun.

Touhou panel was kinda crazy, had a lot of overflow in a 50-person room so we had to turn out a bunch of people sadly. (Honestly though I'm glad that we switched times and rooms with the shmup panel, since nobody would've come to it had it been at 10 am instead of 8 pm.) Talked about various things touhou, forced this poor dude to play IN Lunatic (that didn't last long) and gave out candy for trivia. Also one of my copanelists was drunk, but he was cosplaying an oni so it was in character.

A bit more than yesterday, I think it was on Wednesday or something. Enough time for me to load it up and piddle around but not get a whole lot out of it.

Basically it's Hellsinker but more manic. Similar visual style, similar really cryptic english system messages. It's got this weird special attack system that I haven't quite figured out, but seems to be activated with fighting game-like inputs (e.g. the right-down-downright DP-like motion, or QCF, etc)

>>6567621
Mostly existing fans, I think? We gave a bit of an intro in case people didn't know but I figure most people know in general what touhou is at this point. And of course there were other Touhou cosplayers there, haha. This is most of them at the panel.

-the first arrested dude who: was caught being drunk at age 20, the cop told him he was going to walk him to his room where he WOULD stay, drunk dude made the amazing decision of sprinting from the cop who then tackled him into a door and busted his nose. He was then arrested

-some fat chick who tried the stairs and got an "panic attack" which turned out to be her out of breath from the stairs

>>6567622
that's part of the reason but normally when the hotel is packed we try to open them to guests. Here's why we can't do it with Ohayocon,
-you nerds go up down up down up down for whatever reason. Grabbing food, changing costume, take a shit? Most cons have seminars all day and the elevators aren't as stressed. This in turn makes it inpossible for the bellmen/roomservice/housekeeping/engineering to get upstairs in any decent length of time. Tough to do our jobs when really, none of the congoers NEED to get upstairs really quick. I do sympathize, our hotel has about two few guest elevators

Yeah, I understand. I honestly don't know why people complain SO MUCH about the elevators though. I've been going to Ohayocon since 2006 and I've been to Matsuri and AP when they're at the convention center as well. The wait really isn't THAT BAD. You just need to be reasonable and realize that at SOME POINT the elevator will go wherever you need it to.

I rode around in the elevators just for fun on Saturday. Just to see what would happen.

the new hilton is very nice, we're hoping they bring bigger cons (read: anything) to the convention center. The Hyatt is big but even if we sell out convention center proper is like 700,000 sq ft. You can fit a lot of shit in there and the hotel space can't handle the load. Thanks for tipping.

I figured the 18+ would be funner but Jesus fuck.

The team was BAD. They lacked creativity, originality and it was seriously NOTHING but the same dick jokes and gay jokes over and over and over and over.

They were doing props and one had a baseball bat and didn't know what to do with it so they made like four dildo jokes. I was like "THAT'S A STRIPPER POLE FOR A MIDGET. USE SOME IMAGINATION." They also had a luche mask which they did one Luche thing for.

It's just terrible but I have some friends who are into it who are sane so I can't hate on ALL of it, but it's so easy to want to cunt punt 98% of the fans.

here's the deal about elevators at the hyatt

-we were built before the convention center exsisted, hence why we have only 4, no one expected the traffic 33 years ago.

-we looked into adding 2 more elevators a few years back, the quote we received was 10 mil

-holding "door close" "floor number" or any combination of buttons will not make the elevator magically not stop. I don't know how that rumor got started. Our engineering department and the firefighters have a key for that

-Going up to go down and vice versa may make sense in the short run but in actuality you're making the elevators slower because of the longer trip AND fucking over the people who are waiting above or below you. Don't be jerk

-We had a person time it, the longest wait all weekend we recorded was about 13 min. Which sucks but is doable considering how many people we using them and the fact that I doubt anyone didn't have time to waste

-Jeni's Ice Cream, nationally famous and a Columbus original. Some of the best you'll ever have

this con along with comic-con and Origins are when they make the most bank. I pick up The Walking Dead there every month during my lunch break, really nice dude owns it. I believe they have heroclix tournies every once in a while.


Another question, why do some people carry around boomboxes playing hard techo and the like? Is it part of a cosplay? Are they just rude? I saw quite a few of these. Also, how smelly was the rave?

here are what you should keep in mind
-you people pretty much are the only ones in the whole hotel so any "noise complaints" are either from other con goers, which I find doubtful, or from a off duty cop patroling, which I find highly likely due to us hiring several for the weekend.
1.) request a room at the END of a hall
2.) keep the music down
3.) if you're in a larger suite and throwing a party, keep the underage out

I have to say that ColossalCon has a lot more fun than Ohayocon. It's easier to navigate, cheaper, parking's not as much of a bitch, 4 days vs 3 days, 2 raves instead of 1, and the list goes on. Honestly there were also more unique cosplays at Colossal as well.

I actually attended school for engineering and sort of fell into this job. I am looking to move up because I like working with people. Many of the part timers at our location are studying hospitality management for their degree and they plan to continue in the hotel industry.

I make...enough? I don't have any debt so if I can make rent I don't really stress about it. That said I do want to move up and possibly get transferred around. I'd like to see more of the world. My suggestion to you would to be get a part time job at a local convention hotel as a front desk attendant. The courtyard by the local airport won't really give you a taste of a hectic con. That said, you do get to meet lots of interesting people from all walks of life. Here's a sampling of some of the many cons we get

-Funeral Directors
-Origins game fair (board games, minitures, RPGs)
-Midwest Haunters (the haunted house industry people)
-Longaberger Basket Company
-Arnold Swartzenegger Sports fair (they had over 200,000 people last year!)
-Mid Ohio Comic-Con
-Linuxfest

Hyatt is good at promoting within itself so if you work hard it's not too bad.

Keep in mind you have to be there at least 6 months before you can transfer departments. Sit down with HR and they can tell you most of the details.

no sweat. I had a cousin who worked at Kalahari as a lifeguard. She seemed to like it and it might be a good starting point. It sucks that youngstown is kinda remote and you're not close to cleveland OR pittsburg. I assume you are late teens or early twenties? If you're looking to go to school I'd say find a place with a good hospitality program. Columbus is great and it is actually becoming a great destination but it isn't quite there yet, maybe a bigger city is for you.

yeah I'm a junior in high school now, I'm practically at a 4.0 in honors courses and at this point im pretty much decided on going to ohio state. what would be a good major for this area of work? and would it be possible for me to get started working while i'm going to school or are they really only looking for full time employees?

that's another thing. Not to sound like a hipster but I didn't see very many older series represented at this con. I assume it's because it's a younger crowd but where were all the Gunsmith Cats, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, the Cowboy Bebop character?

we have lots of students any they are good at scheduling around school. That said, figure out school before lumping job on top of that. I was king shit in high school then when I got to college I found out the hard way I had no idea how to study correctly. Hospitality management is a good major for hotel work

While my friends and I were walking around Friday night, this guy in some cosplay with a mask carrying his phone and a portable speaker playing music came up to us and took his hand out to my friend. They danced, and he kissed her on the cheek which freaked her and us out. He then did the same thing to my two other friends (this time only kissing on the hand), but he didn't go for me and left.
I think it's because I'm ugly, but it actually helped me in this situation.
My friends were all a little freaked out though.

There was a kimono photobooth where you could be dressed in kimono correctly and get your picture taken. It wasn't until the day of their got confirmation from the con they could do it, and no one advertised about it and how to get to the small room they were at in the basement so in the 5 hour span it was open, practically no one showed up.

>>6568256
As in critiquing the cosplay? Use tape to mask off the areas you want to paint to get nice, crisp lines. If you can, smooth down some of the rough areas. And see if you could paint things like shadows onto it. Stark whites are hard to convey shadows on, so a bit of light grey would help give depth where it might feel lacking, and really help the costume "pop" in a sense. Otherwise, I like it!

I had an ok time, though I lost my ID and had a lot of bad luck. I also had to drive back to Cinci on Saturday morning because I left something important. The bar staff would not serve me a drink even though I had other forms of picture ID too.
We were running 6 panels so most of my weekend involved running between those and I didn't get to do much else. The panels all turned out great though, I think, and were a lot of fun to do.

I was sad I didn't get to just walk around and hang out more but, then again, I get bored a lot of the time at conventions.

I'm Elf from Beast's Lair and one of the co-panelist for the Type-Moon panel. I'm sorry I kept coughing and sniffling during the panel. I'd been recovering from a virus and sinus infection.

To those attending, what did you think of the panel? It was our second year doing it and we hope to do it again for a third year. Should we be Spoiler-Free, Light-Spoilers, or just go "Fuck it, Archer is Emiya Shirou, Sakura is Rin's sister, and Kohaku got raped by Akiha's father a lot?
