this will be my first year at anime boston. I'm really excited to go. its' also the first con hat a lot of my friend will also be going so I'm not sure if I'll make any new peeps at this convention, but I'm hopeful.

Also n the AB front page, it says that people are allowed to leave flyers at the convention? what is that for and would it be in bad taste to advertise my etsy with some flyers at the con? I mostly make fairy/gothic stuff but I figure hey, they offer the chance to do so so it could kind of be worth it.

I've got a question for you guys.

I have only attended PAX East up to this point, so I don't have much con experience.

That being said, where the fuck do I get Saturday-Only Passes?

No offense, but the website looks shitty as fuck compared to the PAX site. And I'm not seeing an option to buy a single day pass online.

Do I have to show up early to buy a pass at the door?

Will they sell out?

And if they do, how can I guarantee me and my party of 6 others, a ticket?

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 22:58:56 2013 No.6806325 >>6806295 You can only get one-day passes in person, sadly. It's best to go early to get it. I'm not sure if they had problems with shortage, haven't heard of an issue in previous years. (Although I've only been there 5 years.)

This is my first year not going since I started in 2008. Oh well, I'll just have to make next year the best one since I'm leaving the country a few months later.

Oh well, at least she will be driving down to stay in my appt and watch my cats for me for the weekend because besides coworkers who I don't want in my appt everyone else I know is going too be there and FUCK IF I AM PAYING FOR A KENNEL.

Ranting aside, despite everything I am excited for this year! I'm kinda pissed at myself because I'm fatter then I was last year at this point, but eh I have been so stressed out with work stuff, fuck it.
And I have a month, maybe I will loose 5lbs and be the same weight and not hate all the pictures.

Most of the city isn't shaken up at all by the bombings.

In fact, I want to say that the morale of the city has increased overall. The community is much more tight knit than it was a few weeks ago.

Going too! 3rd year in a row, now.

I'm kind of finding it hilarious that some people aren't going because of the bomb incident that was completely unrelated to the convention-- what makes people think there's any sort of danger as compared to anywhere else, now? Especially since the two who did it were caught/killed.

People have the strangest fucking logic, I swear. If anything there will be more security.

Will be heading to anime boston for the first time, but not my first con. I'm still wondering just what security and enforcement will be like. Bags being overly checked/banned, being shot by police for a foam spear head sticking out of my bag (going as Ornstein by the way).

Quick question to Bostonian's and anime boston goers: Our hotel requires us to take the T to the con. We are familiar with boston but will be harassed horribly of we wear stuff to the con? I'm assuming finding a place to suit up once there will be hell so we were thinking of getting ready before hand.
Also, my friends cosplay has antlers. Some cons I see people with horns purposely cut (saw a few Loki's with cut horns in San Diego), well she be thrown out because of it? they are pretty brittle but not going to break with a puff of air. Not sharp by rounded tips.

I was at CTcon as well, and the line for bag checks was terrible. They ended up just having a place to put bags before going into the merchant section and after a bit the security would just shake your bag half-assedly and and wave you through.

Luckily my group has one designated bag holder (her cosplay has a larg backpack anyway), so we only have one bag to check.

People who go through tragedy want extra security. Unless they cavity search every boy and girl, there is no 100%, but the fact is, theres some mom who is too over protected, too 'involved', and was probably 300 miles away from the tragedy, that wants to be a community figure is is saying "Search every bag!

no, idiots who go through tragedy want extra security. the rest of us know it doesn't do shit and just erodes our freedom. also, all the added security they put up for 'special events' like the marathon and the olympics just happens to stay up afterwards.

as you said this is either the result of a panicked parent letter writing campaign or their insurance making them jump through hoops to reduce liability. either way it's gay and we all lose.

I actually emailed the head of security asking if they had any plans about how to minimize the lines. His response was as follows:
>The MCCA will be handling the actual searches, since they were the ones who insisted it was necessary. They have promised me that they understand our traffic flow concerns, and that they will assign multiple highly efficient bag-checkers to each entrance.
Something tells me that since the searches are being handled by a group outside of the con's staff, that they'll seriously underestimate the amount of traffic.

Wouldn't work without the gear the airports have to allow for quick x-ray checking and chemical/explosive detection. You're still going to have people checking bags and they're still going to be half-assing it. If you have other items that are metal you can use them as detector fodder and they'll let you through and any actually dangerous items go undetected.

That kind of thinking is what leads to terrible futures. The second you go into paranoia mode, the second you have given up your right to have a good time. People need to stop thinking that their event is so special it warrants explosions. The marathon bombing was a couple of guys with 3 parts religion and 1 part crazy. Exactly how many anime cons do you know have ended in mass killings? You are more likely to be shot, mugged, mutilated, and exploded in your own house if you want to go into statistics. If it makes you feel better, security measure way up top on the totem pole are in place because its embarrassing for a 1st world country to have this happen.

To be on topic, anyone else doing any demons/dark souls cosplay? I stated earlier in the thread that I'll be Ornstein, and everyone I know is bitching "but its an ANIME con!".

I'm not doing any Demons'/Dark Souls cosplay myself (my only planned cosplay right now is Anthony from Madoka, although I'll also be bringing the replica Yip-Yip Martian puppet I made for last year's AB), but that sounds cool as fuck. And anyone bitching about "NOT ANIME" about a cosplay from a Japanese video game has misplaced priorities, given all the Homestuck and BBC and MLP clogging up the cosplay scene.

I really want to support the con, first time I've gotten to go in a while, but if I do that then I want to be able to actually.. yanno, go to the con and not stand in lines for hours.

Finalizing my line up a bit
My travel days are dress up days so I count them.
Can't decide what I am wearing on Thursday, maybe glass bottled tears because it is comfy as fuck and also adorable, homuhomu is kind of up in the air because it is not done and I am out of days off, some part of me wants to do Twinkle Carnival, Day Dream Carnival, then Sugary Carnival for an all carnival all the time line up but I did twinkle and Sugary last year...
Want to decide on a back up for Homu but I feel like instead I should get off my over-worked bum and just work on it.

Boston resident here, I've never had a problem wearing my costumes on the T. Actually, last year on the Green Line people were asking for my photo, and I was in a pretty ridiculous costume (full face makeup, huge bloody prop, etc. etc.). Plus, lots of congoers will probably be making the trip with you, so it's unlikely you'll be singled out.

But, if you're worried, the bathrooms at the Hynes usually aren't so bad for changing.

When I went in 2011 there were setups on good monitors for Tekken 6, SSFIV, MK9, Arcana Heart 3 and Mahvel 3. The consoles weren't locked away in boxes like the ones at Otakon so you could actually plug in a stick.

First time heading out to Anime Boston. Company's shipping me off to work the booth there while my coworker does Fanime in San Jose. I fly out Wednesday. Feel free to stop by the epic cosplay booth and say hello, feel free to throw down and requests or suggestions for new products at the booth if you want too.

Thankfully I have a friend who moved the area recently and I'll be staying with her and some of her friends, though they check in Thursday so I'm staying a little less then a mile away Wednesday night.

Question for people in the area, how difficult is it to get a taxi to the con center? I have to lug almost 200 of stuff with me Thursday morning to the con center to do setup at 2pm. If I can't get a ride with somebody, it means I either need to get a taxi, or do multiple trips to lug everything to the con center by hand since my bosses didn't get me a rental car.

Oh and I was mostly asking since I know some cities, it's super easy to get a taxi when you're in a tourist spot(like Las Vegas) but when you go off the area, getting a taxi is difficult.

The problem is I'm flying in Wednesday but not checking into my con hotel until Thursday. My bosses booked me at a hostel almost a mile away from the con center for Wednesday night. Lord knows why they choose a hostel, at least they booked me my own room. It's not the getting from the airport part that's the issue, it's getting from the hostel to the con hotel that's the hiccup. If they'd booked me something a little closer, I'd just do a couple trips by hand.

I'll be there. I'll be the one in the (maybe)obscure cosplay. would anyone recognize a badly done cosplay of Sachi From Oyasumi Pun Pun (with a hand knitted punpun). I always wanted to get into cosplay but my family is disgusted with my interest in 'children's cartoons' and have never let me go to a con before this. There was no way for me to order any costume items without my parents knowing because I am currently still living with them (just got back from 1st year college) and my credit card is under theirs, even though it's all my own money. Basically I was limited to what I could buy locally/make myself. I really wanted to do a good job because I always wanted to cosplay and never could.

Not doing a crossplay, just sort of a "half-hearted fat Suwako genderswap with a beard".

Homestuck is like the blight on Anime Boston, or it was last year.

If they're amazing, then they should know how to seal their body paint and won't have any problems going through the curtains.

Like I said, even if it's just a small, small part of the reason for picking such a costume, one does not wear something like that without seeking it.

Injustice had a crappy Chinese knockoff controller with the shoulder buttons mixed up. Saw maybe four Lightnings and only one of them was really cute. Nothing exciting in the dealers' room - spent a whopping $8 when I was prepared to spend a lot more, although I still need to buy a Rei figuring per personal tradition. Didn't see any Rei cosplayers other than the one peddling in the Artists' Alley but did see a Misato which was a nice surprise. Tomorrow is the big cosplay day so there might be more Reis and Lightnings - that's all I care about. I'm a grown man with well-defined tastes, what else can I say.

Sat in on both tokusatsu panels and they were just awful.

I had a good time! There was a really nice variety of cosplay, which was really cool to see. I actually had a lot of panels and signings I wanted to go to as well- and I blew a ton of cash in the AA, which I don't usually do. All in all, I'd say this is one of the better ABs I've been to so far!

this was my second time, last time I went was 2008 and it left a bad taste in my mouth but ny friends convinced me to go again this year and I'm glad I did. being 21 helped but I had an amazing time and met some wonderful people... it made up for the shitshow I endured five years ago. ill be a con regular from here on in.

I need to work on my cosplay though. I commissioned my jupiter fuku and my ass was hanging out the whole time. this was me.

i didn't get the BEST look around sadly, but from what i saw there was most of the usual stuff you expect, prints, hand made goodies, plushies, MOUNTAINS OF BUTTONS, a few places with etched glass mugs and glasses. from what i'm told by my friends who went in more than I did, alot of the prices seem to have risen.

Yes, it was fantastic. Mostly original stuff, but she did sing INNER UNIVERSE and RISE to kill time when they had technical problems.

>>6864386
I sat in on the masquerade just because there was a long line for it, I figured that I would check it out. Now that I know what it is, I'll never make that mistake again.

Anyway, one of the cosplay contestants was a cute Lightning in an excellent set of XIII-2 armor. She was on a stage at the time so I couldn't propose to her, but I hope that she won. Everyone else a shit.

The only video I liked was Action, but then again Evangelion is the only anime I like, so there you go (inb4 whatever you fags say to people like me, get recked weebs). I listed to that song on YouTube a few times when I got home.

reposting from a different thread that apparently died:
Was a good time. Pics still coming in.Was the group with myself as Ornstein, the coyote spirit (she had the antlers), Sebastian, an original (heh, original, but yea his own colors and details) ass creed assassin, and a pandaren..
anyone else see the iron man with the mask that opend by remote? It was pretty bad ass when I saw it.

Felt kind of bad. We shared a table with some random guy at the in-con food court thing. tried to make small talk but he ended up stalking us through out the entire con to the point where we had to lie about not having cell phone numbers and everything. Usually I can break out of awkward con goer tractor beams but the guy was actually nice and REALLY liked to talk about mega man. Wanted to let him down easy. Luckily I saw he found a couple other outcasts and they ran off together.
Also pissed at the lack of berserk, dark souls, and attack on titan items. Was really hoping to get all three copies of the Egg of the King Berserk OVA's.
P.S: alot of my armor got fucked in transportation and finalizing right before con. Also, people stepping on my greaves made it so I had to wear sneakers the last half of the con. Sorry for the eye sore.
