Anyone headed to Colossalcon, in Sandusky, OH this year? It's weekend after next (June 6-9).

I'll be headed up with a friend, as it's in the area. I'm wondering if any other seagulls will be going or not.

In the water park. From the arcade entrance, go straight, then take a right after the giant tower that dumps buckets of water on people. Go past the large bar "cabana" and head towards the surf simulator. Go behind that and you should see it.

For reference, it's also right next to the big funnel slide that doesn't require an innertube.

Haha a couple years ago one of my con roomies used it as a ramen bowl when he wasn't drinking out of it.

It's supposed to cool down a bit, and be rainy on the weekend, but last year it was almost 10 degrees hotter than predicted so who knows. I'm just hoping it doesn't rain too much because that's when they close the outdoor portion of the hot tub bar.

I've seen them do ID checks at the hot tub bar, but it's a rare thing. Might just depend on the bartender.

>>6879225
You have to have a waterpark pass to get into the hot tub bar. :/ If you're staying at the Kalahari, your room comes with 1 wristband per bed space (so for example combo suites come with 8).

If you have friends staying at the Kalahari:
1. If they have more wristbands than people in their room, you can probably just ask if you can have the extra wristband.
2. Ask if they can put them on loose enough to be able to slide them off, but tight enough that they won't slide off on their own. That way if someone isn't going to the waterpark, you could just use their wristband. Don't worry if the wristband breaks- you can just exchange it for a new one at the hotel front desk.

Ahh, it's funny you say that.

I was talking to S0ni and Angel over the Colossal-facebook group looking for some input on whether I should do Caesar last minute for Colossal, since I have everything but knee pads and a blonde wig in my closet.

Otherwise my line up was pretty much Soma Shicksal (God Eater.) Mikuo Hatsune (Vocaloid) , and Satan from Hataraku Maou-sama.

But I'm also going to see if I can fit time to get Caesar done. If not, I'll gladly pose in Mikuo. Fanbase shouldn't just be limited to one series right?

Also; I'm expected to be mostly drunk at this con; and probably cooking out since it's the beginning of summer and the last time I'll see all my Chicago friends for awhile, unless I felt like going to Anime Midwest.. which is a maybe.

Not gonna happen, because lifeguards.

People were kicked out of the waterpark last year by newbie lifeguards simply for being in cosplay. If a lifeguard spots someone even beginning to set foot in the water with bodypaint, expect to immediately hear a whistle.

I'm going! It's my first time. I'm ready to chill out and have some fun because it's the weekend before I'm done with work until the fall. See picture for what I'm bringing. I'll be there Friday night through Sunday. Doing the Parallel Works version of Adiane instead of the regular version since I don't want to mess with the tattoos for this con. I'm also bringing some cute purple pajamas for a casual Homura in the evening and a silly Sally Impossible swimsuit version (using the Black Milk muscle swimsuit).

I'd love to meet some seagulls, because I always seem to miss the meetups.

The Elephant looks like an outdoor area by the gardens if I recall. Why don't we all meet up by the lobby opposite of the candy shop around 7 or 8 on friday then? I usually don't go to seagull meet ups since the Ohayo ones have usually been; /wave , say hi, one party goes off and does one thing drunkenly, another says 'why wern't you at ALA?' and then the others just like walk off without really like exchanging numbers or something.

The Elephant is an outdoor area, which implies rain.
I don't think you want to meet outdoor, unless the weather would be nice, so I'm definitely vouching for the Kalahari Lobby, which is opposite of the Candy Shop / Restaraunt. It's towards the butt end of the place anyways, so it wouldn't be too crowded, as everyone else usually hangs out at the fountain below the stairs (and that get's ... pretty slammed)

Also I'll be popping in Thursday afternoon, so if anyone wants to hang out before hand, lemme know and i'll drop you my facebook or something. I guess I'll post up my line up, although it kind of sucks. I'm most likely just wearing casual wear on Sunday because I got to drive home, and I'd rather not do it in cosplay though. I will be bringing my horse head for stupid / dumb shenanigans on Friday / Saturday / Thurs night though.

Is there a lot of people watching/parties/entertaining shit to do and see if you don't buy a badge? I never buy a badge at acen and have tons of fun, but this seems like a much smaller con so I don't want to show up and find out everything is happening in a badge only area.

Thanks for the answer. I wasn't planing on trying to sneak into anything (if I wanted to go to con events I would just buy a badge), but if they are going to make me have a badge just to get into hallways and common areas where people are going to be hanging out then I guess I'll just have to barrow a friend's.

I looked at the map on the site and it looks like con stuff is entirely in the con center and nothing in the hotel? Is the hotel mostly con people, or is it half booked by normal families since it's a resort type place?

Seeing as how the event rooms are extended all the way to the entrance, you'll probably make it to the fountain or to the steps before being badge checked.

There's nothing going on in the hotel itself as far as events go (unlike most other conventions) as all the convention space is in the convention area. You're only going to find rooms there. Though the resort area has some places to hang out and some stuff to do water park aside.

I think the hotel is mostly convention people this year, but there are some normal people there usually.

Here. The purple dots are where badge check was last year and where they'll probably be again this year. The pink dots are where I assume badge checks will be set up for the old half of the convention center this year (last year it wasn't being used at all so it was pretty much just a giant lounge though all panel rooms were locked).

Con Ops and Security HQ (marked help and safety) are -always- outside of the "con floor", and reg kinda... has to be outside of a badge check area, lol.

E4 will most likely just have someone checking badges at the door when something is going on in there just like last year.

The "open" hallway does have plenty of places to sit down and relax, including the fountain at the bottom of the stairs, some tables across the hall from "Right Stuf", and the couches along the outer wall of the Maid Cafe.

The only notable event on Thurs is the Craft Fair, however, the schedule posted a couple weeks back is tentative and could always have a few more events added.

There's also a bunch of 18+ panels, a rave, a concert for "2d6", and a talent show. Other than that though, there's not too much going on, and nothing cosplay related happens on that day.

I just asked a con-roomie where we go for booze.

Head north from the Kalahari (take a right out of the entrance). Drive until you get to the Burger King on the left. Make a left at the first light past the Burger King onto Strub Rd.

Turn left onto Columbus Ave and right past the gas station is a small liquor store called Harney's Market. Pic related. It's small but has a great selection. Of course we also usually pick up boxed bottles of stuff at Sam's Club too.

That's perfectly fine, Anon! Your car is your private space so you're not hurting anyone by sleeping in it.

I'll let you in on a little secret: Usually convention hotels don't allow people to dodge paying for a room by sleeping in the hallways, but last year they were perfectly fine with it- one of the cleaning staff even went around putting blankets on the couch-crashers.

I can't 100% guarantee that'll be the case this year, but the Kalahari loves Colossal so much they give the con special treatment. If too many people do it, though, they may stop allowing it, so don't go around talking about it too much.

If you're just looking to buy some quick food to make in your hotel, there's a super walmart about a block or two down the street. There's lots of restaurants nearby. But be aware that while bringing in groceries is fine, going around the con center carrying fast food / drinks is not since the Kalahari wants to make money off the catering service they offer in the con center and the staff may crack down on it.

Liquor you buy at a grocery store is going to be different quality than the type you can buy in a liquor store. Something to do with alcohol levels.

I really wish vocaloid fans wernt' as anti-social. :( But these kids were total sweet hearts, I'm really miffed I missed a decent chunk of the Jojo's but I was running around doing everyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyything.

I'm really looking forward to next year, and it was fun meeting Gyro, Johnny and Enver and having a really silly hat party.

Looking forward to next year, see y'all then!!

Thank you!! It was a ton of fun wearing that costume again, especially just walking around like I was ready to sass the shit out of someone! Shit felt gooooood. Plus all the fabulous posing and baby animals <3

I wish to hang with you all again and I'm sure I'll be back at Colossalcon again, and with friends >:D

Also posting this. Because I'm getting eaten by a fucking mudkip. Too legit!

I could care less about those girls. they used to look up to them because they always had such cool costumes and really cosplayed their passions ( I got interested in their kingdom hearts stuff) but now they are total bandwagoners. avatar? when it got popular. Rise of the guardians? Everyone flipped a tit and shit out costumes for it. (then again who didnt) sailor moon? when it was hyped for the "new remake" and now suddenly they love evangelion?

sighs

I'm not saying their costumes are quality because they are talented people as far as I'm concerned; but 'll be glad when the whole "cosplay video" thing hype goes down because I'm sick of seeing these people treat cosplay like a popularity contest

Organizer here. Actually only 4 photographers were invited and each including myself were bringing 1 group. The Jojo group was my choice and they brought their choices, but then people told other people and it got to be a big cluster****. People expect more and more for nothing... Also people were there shot with the tiger actually didnt buy a badge to the convention which after the fact I wasnt entirely pleased with. TDLR; the session will revert back to an exclusive VIP invite only event of less than 10 people photogs included.

PS- Ackson is awesome and I appreciate everything he does for us.

I don't know what happened this year, but last year, MangSirene/CatalystSirene (not Syren here on /cgl/, different girl) made a Youtube video about going to Colossalcon. She bragged about doing photoshoots with baby tigers and going to the waterpark and told people they didn't have to get a badge to do all the fun stuff Colossalcon helped provide. When she was confronted by staff, she flipped out and tried to threaten them with her ~7,000 followers~ and told them they shouldn't piss off famous people. That's the only tiger-related drama I know about.

So I overheard one of the male staffers complaining about the Burlesque Show being morally repugnant or something and loudly wondering they were invited.

Of course not. I'm saying he was drawing the negative attention to himself on top that. If he were young and attractive, I just would have called him a douche bag. Since he's older, I would expect him to know better than to stand up and yell things.
And the guys "praising the sun god" were about 20 and they were equally repulsive.

So, unattractiveness is not my problem with these people. Their behavior is embarassing.
