Con Stories

[Anonymous No.7162043]

anything interesting happen to you at a con?
did you see anything that made you chuckle or gag?

this isn't a thread for horror stories, but just general things that stand out in your head when you think of a con you attended.

[Anonymous No.7162047]

I'll start:

>be at con parkinglot
>neckbeard in a MLP fursuit steps out of car, puts rainbow dash head on
>his mother steps out of car and helps zip it up

another
>see luffy cosplayer
>dont care about onepeice at all
>this motherfucker walks around just like luffy for the entire duration of the con
>A+ effort would laugh again

and another
>be in dealers room
>check out sailor moon pins
>some fatty comes right next to me and I am shoved out of the way and knocked completely by her enormous gut as she eyes the sailor moon pins like they're a fresh steak
>can't even look at the small artist table anymore she is taking up 3/4ths of the area up

>>7162043
>Last day of con
>Walking, just feeling tired maybe a little light headed but not ill
>Vomit out of nowhere
>Luckily i'm in the corner/less traveled area
>Race to bathroom
>Spend next 30 mins there
>Quickily walk out when feeling better and went home too embarrassed to tell staff
I spent the next week regretting that I didn't tell them. I think it was combination bad food, lots of germs floating around and lots of walking.

Apparently he was matching her footsteps all the way from the other side of the campsite. 10/10 for being in character, she's not easily shaken so she found it hilarious when she got over the shock.

>Check my watch and realized that 20 minutes have elapsed
>Take an ambulance to the emergency room and everything checked out okay
>Found out from my friends that during those missing 20 minutes I took out my knife, OC spray, and kubotan from my pockets and gave them to my brother and told him to bring them to the hotel

Honestly, that was my favourite con. Doing a group cosplay with a baby is like instant attention, plus the little guy loved seeing all the people, he didn't cry at all despite the noise.

I made it out of cardstock and glue. It's a x4 scaled up version of a papercraft I made a while ago. As you can see, the head is a bit comically oversized, so I would suggest scaling it down to 3.5 or 3.8.

Here's the instructions link, the download for the actual papercraft should be somewhere around there:

It's not okay to touch people without their permission regardless of whether they're with someone or not.

Despite that, at least put your hand on her shoulder instead of her waist. That's inappropriate.

It's fine as long as you're not a creep about it. Regardless of if she's with someone or not. Shoulder or waist is fine. Just no butt, or head-into-cleavage if you're short and she's tall.
She needs to be open to the situation if she's in costume/had any sort of experience taking a photo with someone. So if she doesn't want you to touch her, she will prolly step back (or act like a sandycunt Tumblrfag, see: >>7165375 ) and it'll be clear and hopefully you will pick up that signal.

Kudos to you for trying to educate yourself, though.
Polite sage.

I hate having my waist touched by strangers. Around the shoulders is fine if it's loose, not if they're pulling me in.

[Anonymous No.7165520]

So a few friends and I were having a private shoot with one of my friends as the photographer. We were on the middle side of a back staircase, which was normally used for photoshoots at this con.

Some kid sees me with a camera and comes down and asks for a photo. We thought that meant she wanted to take a photo... No, she wanted US to take a photo of HER. So, in the hopes of making this weeby little shit go away, I took a quick picture and told her where I would post my pictures.

She decided to continue talking to us about her costume (I don't know what she was) and about cosplay, then made a Homestuck reference and said she had another pose idea. And with that she laid down on the steps and looked like a fat whale that just washed ashore. One of the girls in my shoot is into homestuck and actually had to turn away because she was seriously going to die of laughter and I aimed the camera and pretended to take a picture because... well, it wasn't pretty.

And then I think she high-fived us or said something, but she quickly just said she had to go and ran downstairs. So the rest of us just exchanged very confused looks and burst out laughing after she was gone. I've never had anyone interrupt a photoshoot like that before, and never again since.

Only just been to my first con, and by myself so nothing really interesting... but I'll share.

Go to Oni-Con on Friday in a Wolverine costume jacket from Hot-Topic. Buy Edward Elric's jacket in the dealer room, go to a hall way and try it on. Look nothing like Ed, none of my other clothes match what he wears. As soon as I put it on some chick dressed as Deidara I kept seeing asks for a picture "Omg one of my fav characters". lolwut.

I haven't been to a con, but every year the place I work holds a Halloween thing for kids, and everyone dresses up, and I have a few cute stories with the kids...

>Co-worker goes to grab coffee, has to get through a horde of little kids
>Says, "Hey there, midget Spiderman!" to one kid
>Kid yells that that was the last thing co-worker will every say
>Co-worker challenges tiny Spiderman to a duel
>MFW Co-worker came back with kids attached to his back and legs

I could not stop laughing. My co-worker's this big tall black guy, and he was just covered in little kids trying to attack him, and he just acted like he was going to go back to work like nothing was going on. I think my ovaries burst.

He replies with this..
> ' Sorry, it was not my intention to make you and your friends feel very uncomfortable... in the process i realized and hesitated while with you and your friend... as for the necklace keep it, it's me trying to express that you are special... it's a positive jewelry... it keeps you positive through thoughts... so positive will overcome negative...

Most of my experience with other con goers has me convinced the majority of them are entry level shonen fans, fat bl loving fujoshi, grimdark emo kids, and "lolsorandum" adventure time/homestuck fans. It's one of the popular shows this season, but at least it's a show this season. I didn't see anybody else there as a character this season.

> I don't post often, but when I do, it's a book.

For two Anime Bostons in a row, I brought massive boxes of Fun Dip and threw them to random weaboos. I had a lot of fun and the groups would typically pounce on them without hesitation.

> third time
> totally forget to buy Fun Dip in time
> regardless, having fun doing other things
> walking around and suddenly someone offers me Fun Dip
> her and her friend have giant boxes of Fun Dip and are taking up my role
> feels good to start a relatively good trend

I talked to them later, found out they saw someone with Fun DIp and when they asked where she got it, she said a random guy yelled out "Fun Dip!" and threw it at her when she made eye contact. That was me.

They said they also had another friend with a third box, but when they said, "Spread some love; give this Fun Dip to random people," he ended up getting off of the elevator holding nothing.

> "Hey, Bro... where did the box go?"
> "You told me to give it to some random people."
> "Open the box. Hand out individual packets to multiple people."
> "Oh... Shit. I guess I messed that up."

That was just one interesting con memory, but I usually make it my goal to be the guy these threads are focused on. Many con stories and fun times.

I'm always so surprised at congoers that give shit back. At my first AWA several years ago, I left my camera in a panel, and aside from someone taking random nudes on it, they did turn it in.

Thinking about going next year if I am in country at the time. Kinda sucks living in the middle of everything sometimes. Does anyone know if Omaha has a con? They are close, but I can't find anything.

KC is about the same distance as Des Moines, they probably have a bigger con than Anime Iowa.

This happened when I was a young weeb, at likely one of my first anime cons. I was around 14~ at this time & I had been partaking in a "glomp circle". When a handsome, male Germany cosplayer happened to pass by the circle.

"GROUP HUG ON GERMANY!!!" shouted someone from the group, I remember us all suddenly rushing this poor young man. Upon his features the terror of a man realizing he is going to die. I don't remember much after that, except running into a wall of fleshy bodies and having many more rush in behind me. All of us squished together in one, writhing, mass glomping. I don't know whatever became of that Germany cosplayer after this event.

So me and my bro get to the convention and I'm pretty much stunned and stoked at the same time.

I don't know why I said that. I don't know why I instantly recoiled from her. But it's been over 2+ years since that first con and I had never been to another one. But I just can't get her out of my mind. Every so often, my mind lingers back to that awesome convention where I met that girl in the pretty blue dress. I remember how we talked and talked about what we liked, about how a lot of our interests coincided such as video games, stupid pointless lore from books, movies, and games, and a shit load of other things. She was actually trying to be a writer and when I began to talk about "A Brave New World", she basically giggle-squeed due to that book begin one of her top favorites.

I still think of her to this day. Wondering what I could've done differently. Wondering if I actually made a move to try and be with her and make that awesome first convention of mine even more memorable.

But now it just hangs over my head like some sort of embarrassing moment that we sometimes think of. I couldn't bring myself to go to another convention in fear of her reappearing and telling me to go fuck myself.

And that's my story of my first convention.

She's not going to tell you go fuck yourself. If you run into her again then maybe you'd get another shot but I think she'd understand that you were too shy to make a move. This is coming from a lolita so you have a girl's perspective. You're being too critical of yourself.

This isn't at a con but is related. Also I'm on my phone so sorry in advance if any weird autocorrect.
I'm not going to green text cos my > is difficult to get to.

Anyway, I work at a museum and one of our mascots is a life like baby dinosaur "puppet" (bigger than a human) called Winny.
Sometimes they take Winny out to go visit places.
One day while eating my lunch I see a new video uploaded to our main site of some of Winny's adventures.
Half way through the video is a scene of a bunch of con goers with pedobear dancing around with Winny.
Remember, Winny is a baby dinosaur.

I ring up the Web department and go:
"Hi um... so that video you just uploaded of Winny includes a scene of her playing with a guy dressed as a character called Pedobear."
They don't believe me.
I argue on the phone about it with them.
They google pedobear and say it can't be him cos the colour is sightly different.
I hang up and my asian boss asks "what's a pedophile?"
While awkwardly trying to explain the web team ring back and told me that they googled the con and found a picture of the costume and surprise surprise it says it is pedobear.
They thank me and edit that part out, but now they think I'm a weirdo for knowing about that.

>says he likes my costume
>I have a Shieldon plushie on my shoulder, he motions to an Infernape plushie he has
>I smile, tell him I'm glad he likes my costume, wasn't sure anyone would recognize who it was
>Walk off with friend
>Guy follows and asks for a video and for me to say something
> Asks if I can say "I love Bastiodon!" (the dub for some reason included this as an actual line...)
>Due to all the noise think he said "I love Bastion (the game)"
> After four unsuccessful takes notices I'm saying it wrong
> After about six or seven takes I do it right

I felt like such an idiot, I'm cringing typing this.

Everyone always asks this. The answer is always yes, we want to hear your story. Especially if any part of it involves a stalker, is embarassing, sexy, or funny.

This is not mine, but one of my friends experienced this at our last convention.

I was on stage for a dating game as Solid Snake at Anime Boston this past year.

I showed up late to the meet and was probably sweaty and disheveled looking from getting lost in the expo. The organizer kind of looked me over and said, "You're my Snake?" My costume was purdy okay-looking (though definitely not horrible), but I have a sweet Snake voice so my confidence is at about 5/10 going into it. I get backstage and there's all these kids talking about anime and I've only seen Bebop and Samurai Champloo so I kind of just nod at them and make minimal conversation with my heart racing.

Toff from Avatar was the bachelorette and myself, Phoenix Wright and some demon person (girl as a guy character) were the contestants. Once I got on stage, I don't know what it was but I rocked every question with perfect MGS related puns and quotes. I've done improv before (you might have heard my Otacon Futa vocaroos before), but damn it was magical and made me feel amazing when the audience laughed.

"What's your favorite ELEMENT (hurr hurr)?"
"... Err, anything but water. I don't like Liquid."

I also had my friend in the audience call my codec-ringtoned phone during one of the questions, which got a huge laugh.

In the end, I won the audience's applause and did an awkward Snake-hug with Toff. Gah, I can't imagine myself having a funner time. Even the questioning organizer caught me at the end and told me how impressed she was.

I'm not going as Snake this year, but damned if I'm not tempted just to relive it.

[Anonymous No.7191414]

>>7191405
I have always wondered how those dating games work. Are you supposed to act in character or as yourself? And what happens to the contestant that wins, do you get any sort of prize?

[Anonymous No.7191419]

>>7191414
You act and answer as if you were the character, at least, you're supposed to. The other two contestants looked a little bit bewildered when they heard my Snake voice, because they had answered their questions in their normal speaking voices (we had all talked a little backstage).

But yeah, acting as the character is a big must.

Yeah I agree with you, it's just that I realized that by me immediately turning away I became the very person I disliked and created a viscous cycle of cold, rude individuals. If anything it taught me not to regard everyone the same light because there are people out there who are kind and by treating everyone the same way a majority of people have treated you, you ruin your chances of connecting with someone. But I don't drink so I don't have that to help me out unfortunately.

I had a revelation that people who go to parties at con's in a big group and who don't try to mingle with people outside their group are the worst people and shouldn't come to parties to begin with
they kill any kind of mingling
make it harder for people to meet other people
Went to blizzcon and outside of the first night where i wanted to mingle with all sorts of people so i talked to everyone i could and met a bunch of cool people by being inviting and inclusive
but when i went to the other two parties and wasn't as inebriated I just saw circle jerkers
and it really pissed me off. Especially at the hilton final night
people who want to be in their comfort zone for an entire party by standing in a circle with people they already know should not bother to go to parties
its such a fun killer and them being there serves no purpose but being hurdles for other people who know what mingling and having fun really is
