ACen is in one week! Ready!?

[Anonymous No.7539412]

I've been working every day the past two weeks and I'm really getting burnt out. At least I'm most of the way done! If only I hadn't cut my hand last month I could have finished up earlier.
My goal is to not have to work on anything the day before the con. For once.

There's not really shit for panels Friday; luckily hardcore synergy is that day. it's not because of the rave aspect I'm actually a fan of the DJs. This is my first year cosplaying, but it's not my first time at the con so I decided to do something simple.

It's usually Friday night at the Red Bar around 9. Someone confirm/deny?

And if there's no panels/gatherings you guys wanna go see, at least come check out the Cosstudio sometime over the weekend. We have costuming panels going on and are trying to get a fabric swap going. If you don't want any fabric, just come by and drop it off (within a reasonable amount) and/or take something that catches your eye. Last year, we were in the basement.. go down the escalators and as far to the right in the halls as you can go. Just listen for the sounds of costume repair.

There are only two types of IRT:

That's probably true. We invite people that we meet and that seem cool instead of publicly announcing the party so that helps avoid having a party full of dirty weebs. People tend to spread the word though, so there are still some undesirables. Even so, percentage of non-tippers is pretty low, and a lot of tippers are really generous about it.

[Anonymous No.7542969]

>>7542860
what excuses?

First she asks to use an exit as an entrance which would be dangerous for both her and anyone else leaving. Then she asks to use fire escape doors. Both of these are not legitimate options. If she seriously has such a problem getting around then maybe she shouldn't go. They can only do so much to accommodate.

[Anonymous No.7543087]

>>7542860
Most cons don't even have a special needs department. They can only do so much and at some point you have to take responsibility for your problems and figure it out. They suggested plenty of reasonable alternatives in the thread.

Last year I was at acen with a blown out knee. I rented a wheelchair because I knew that going to a place with a lot of walking when you can't walk was going to be bad time.

[Anonymous No.7543122]

Anyone who pays to go to the con should be able to get around the damn con without endangering their own health. Period. The entrance to and from the dealer's halls in the expoteria has been open MANY years in the past and there was NO problem because most con attendees didn't even know it was there.

[Anonymous No.7543129]

>>7542885

The elevators shouldn't even be an issue. The hotel ought to make accommodations for the disabled to have rooms on the ground floor. I've gotten this every year I've attended this con.

[cv No.7543131]

>>7543087

ADA is worded "reasonable accommodation," I disagree that opening up fire escapes is "reasonable."

>>7543221

Many solutions are already on this thread had you bothered to read them instead of throwing a bigoted, ableist fit because someone dared to criticize a notoriously poorly run con.

Disabled people get rooms on the ground floor. No need to bother with the elevators except to get to the lower floor in the Hyatt. The door in the expoteria to the dealers room and artist alley remains open to allow disabled people to avoid the hamster tunnel, except maybe to get to the other hotels if it's raining. Just a few ideas. All the while drinking and bathing in the tears of the hundreds of inconvenienced able-bodied people.

Also want to point out most hotels don't have rooms on the first floor, and on top of that they need to be in a handicapped room so they are restricted to the availability of those. I hope you are not suggesting the doors they've already stated are fire escapes again.

[Anonymous No.7543301]

>>7543241

Dude, no one is reveling in your physical differences, and no one is deliberately oppressing you. But there are few if any ground floor rooms, those doors you're referring to are fire exits, etc etc etc. ACen's full of morons but in this case there's not much to be done.

I would suggest you two actually learn about the hotel acen happens at before you jump to idiotic conclusions about there not being rooms on the ground floor. There are. There are entire separate wings of the hotel that have their own elevators too.

[Anonymous No.7543439]

>>7543323
Do I need to point out again that regardless of whether or not there are rooms on a ground floor, the person in question needs a handicapped room. There is no guarantee there is one on that floor and on top of that there are probably more than one handicapped person staying over the weekend. A disabled person is going to have to use the elevator.

[Anonymous No.7543586]

I think it's funny seeing all of these posts about how bad the elevators are but I've literally never had any real trouble using the elevators. Maybe they take a little bit long but it's same shit as being at school.

[Anonymous No.7544015]

IRTbro here again to shut this elevator shit down right now:

Anyone with a Medical Badge gets first dibs on the elevator. So while getting on the elevator can be pants on head retarded at time (all the time), no one on crutches or in a wheelchair is going to have to deal with that.

That thread was embarrassing on both ends though.

[Anonymous No.7544033]

>>7543586
That's my biggest worry about Anime Midwest this year. The elevators were almost bad on Friday, but they lightened up after they let more people on. But I'm worried it'll just turn into another elevatorlinefest.

WHY DOESN'T THAT HOTEL ADD TWO MORE ELEVATORS.

I don't know what he's talking about, saying "first dibs." Not at ACen, anyway. Short of IRT clearing out the elevator--which, okay, I have seen, but only once--how is that enforced?

Maybe they just need to station a couple elderly people and someone in a wheelchair, just riding the elevator up and down, glaring daggers at any able-bodied people who decide to skip the stairs.

[Anonymous No.7544397]

IRT are actually stationed INSIDE the elevator for a majority of the con, and after the first time we "politely recommend" someone get their fat ass off the elevator so the handicapped person can get on. This WILL NOT happen 12 times to ANYONE for ANY REASON. The only people we can't tell to GTFO the elevator are hotel guests who aren't with the convention.

>>7544326

As I stated above, IRT have been stationed INSIDE the elevators for the past couple of years and we've seen a serious decrease in elevator breakage and general dumbfuckery.

Action Poses for Characters that have Military/Expert Firearm Training
>DO Keep your elbows in.
>DO Push your torso forward.
>DO Point your trailing toe at the target.
>DO Keep your feet at least shoulder width apart.
>DO Keep your cheek pressed against the buttstock, if possible.
>DO Grasp the gun firmly.
>DON'T Lean back/away from the muzzle of the gun.
>DON'T Teacup the gun; this means do not rest your hand on the bottom of the grip, for pistols.
>DO Use a pistol with both hands, by using the Weaver Grip.
>DON'T Gangsta-grip/aim the gun.

Relaxed Poses for above
>DO Keep your finger off the trigger.
>DO Point the gun either at the ground or the sky, away from people.
>DO turn your torso towards where you are looking, don't just turn your head.

I can take a few pictures later if I have time to make it more apparent what I mean; it may seem silly, but this sort of thing really buttons up a military cosplay. I'll also see if I can grab a few notes on sword-wielding for those who are interested.

When using a pistol, 60% of your grip is on your off hand, and only 40% is on your trigger/main hand. reason being, less internal muscle pressure means less possible tremor and thereby a smoother trigger pull.
To paraphrase everyone's favorite gun granpappy, hickock45; "I grip the gun as hard as the gun will let me"

Also, side note, when aiming at a camera, aim the sights at the bottom rim of the lens, or a bit lower, and look dead at the lens. It gives the ILLUSION that you are aiming down the sights, but still has that stark, powerful eyes-wide-open shot.

>>7552704
You could always string a tarp along, make sure it's angled downward, and aim the downward angle at the prevailing wind gusts; this will lessen the annoying FLAPPAFLAPPA. Or you could open the bathroom window(s), run the defogger/fart fan and spray into a cardboard box, in thin, light coats. If you aren't primering, consider getting/renting a airbrush; it doesn't use aerosol propellant so the smell is negligable, even indoors.

Why does everything bad have to happen when you're so close? I've had a broken tooth for like 2 years now and it decided to finally reach its limit. Was gonna go to the mall, buy make up, go to an eye exam for contacts, and finish everything up. But nope. So pain stricken I had to take 2 Anicin pills which left me too tired and dizzy to move (cried on my mom's shoulder for like 10 minutes). No insurance and can't even afford a doctor. Unless I get some form of treatment I wont even be able to go outside my hotel room without being stricken with tear inducing pain. Couldn't even work on my cosplays at home.

I work at a school and have to do any outside work like shoveling snow around entrances (when we had it) and now its weeding/mowing the lawn/trimming. It's not a large area by any means but it still takes me about a god damn hour or more. I was getting jumpy about it raining up where i live since it looked like it was gonna rain each day until friday when i had off from work this week. Was super worried that i'd come back to a fucking forest. People who cover our employees when they're off don't do jack, they do bare necessities. Luckily i got a majority done yesterday.

I would recommend granola bars, chips, energy bars, water/Gatorade, basically anything grab and go. Also there's a food court in a high end mall that has like 16 different options. Its a 5 min walk southwest of the crowne plaza. Just another option.

Mac and cheese and ramen or anything you can make using hot water, soup etc. because even though not all hotel rooms have a microwave, pretty much all of them have a coffee maker you can use to make hot water. And having a hot meal helps alleviate some of that poorfag feel.

[Anonymous No.7555949]

>>7555789

There's no end of food options nearby, actually (food court >>7555793 mentioned), but if you're trying to save scratch, I always go with sandwiches. Bring a small cooler (styro is fine if you don't have a reusable one) and fill it with cold cuts, condiments, veg, bread, maybe some PB&J.

Whatever you do, don't just buy a bunch of jerky and salty shit. Your head will explode by the end of the weekend.

A big complaint last year for the ACen meetups were the meetup wasn't organized enough and someone didn't make a big-ass sign. I will not be at ACen this year so here are some suggestions.

1. Someone needs to take charge and make a big-ass sign.
2. Find a hotel to make the meetup more intimate. With the Hyatt it's way too crowded and too loud. Find a hotel nearby the Hyatt that will allow for people to talk with one another. The Hilton, Embassy Suites, and Doubletree are better options imo. I decided to move our Ohayocon seagull meetup earlier this year from the Hyatt bar where it was too crowded and loud over to the Crowne Plaza bar where it was quite and more intimate.

[Anonymous No.7558849]

They never ID for badges. Ever.

They aren't even that good about checking for them, and badge theft can be pretty rampant, not to mention that there's a ton of easy tricks for sneaking into panels (the ol' 2 badge switcheroo)

At any rate. You'll be fine. They don't have time to ID people and the volunteers won't rightfully care who the badge belongs to, because all it means to the con is that you are one person allowed to occupy one person's worth of space in the dealer's hall or at a panel or whatever.. not that they actually have enough room for all the people who show up anywho.
