Ohayocon

It's in a few weeks. Anyone still go to this?

[Anonymous No.8047662]

Gosh I'm so pissed Bemani Invasion (now Tokyo Attack) won't be there. They announced it on facebook about a week ago.

Either way got my cosplays done and will have fun with friends in the crowd of teenagers.

[Funk Brothers !!sEQILr75Rya No.8047875]

Going to be there and wearing lolita only on Saturday. I'm preparing the lolita meetup at a restaurant after Lolita Crush that same day. There's a few indie brands that will be in the AA this year. Voodooodolly, Paradise Rose, and Elegy. It's nice to see more variety.

Also watch out for drunks Friday and Saturday evenings. The convention center is holding the Winter Beerfest.

[Anonymous No.8047878]

It's always hit or miss for me, but I'm looking forward to it.

I'm entering the masquerade this year. I've heard good and bad things about it. Anyone have any experience with it?

I'm going with the same group I went with last year.

Duly noted.

I'm going! I'll be in lolita all three days.

Are we planning on having a /cgl/ meetup at all?

Yes, I am planning that too. We're having it at the Crowne Plaza bar Friday night at 9pm.

Apparently the folks at 4x2chan are planning to raid this meetup so heads up.

I will show up. I know Siggy is coming this year.

>>8049009
I show up every year. I think people have a hard time finding others in that place. I know someone usually has the seagull sign but it's on a stick and I doubt anyone wants to hold it up and wave it around forever.

Would anyone mind if I made a sign to tape along the outside of one of the tables? That way people walking by can see and it can give everyone's arms a break?

I've been going since 2011 for the whole weekend, but this year I'm only going Saturday because ngl Ohayocon's gone to shit. Only going to see friends pretty much.

[Anonymous No.8050314]

I'll be going with my anime club (Vice Pres, nearby university if anyone there happens to browse here) from previous obligation, Ohayocon has gotten worse in each passing year and my significant other won't be there so I'm mostly just going there to enjoy the being-around-fellow-weeaboos feels.

My cosplay is going to be Kaguya Houraisan from Touhou - which, it even seems the Touhou panel won't be up this year. I'm not even done with the cosplay and dealing with a stream of poverty...

I agree. I said I wouldn't go this year, but my family has grown to love it and they're paying my way. I just... don't have any interest in the con anymore. And knowing there's a beerfest at the same time makes it worse. I was harassed several times Saturday night, including cornered into a stairwell and licked by a group of high as fuck normies. Last year's programming seemed like it was looking up, but the people and staff are just so shitty.

[Anonymous No.8051011]

Oh it's also worth noting that last year, all the staff photographers actually covered the rave instead of the cosplay contest. I have not found any pro photos from the event. I don't think there was video taken either. Cos staff was very rude too.

I want to every year, but end up spending too much on Christmas presents instead and having no money for cons until summer. Maybe next year, as I might have a new job in Cincinnati, so more money and travel won't be as much.

Going, though I'm not cosplaying and this will be my first year attending panels.
The very first year I went my friend influenced me to go and he just drug me around the place posing for pictures. He honestly made it seem like an event made for dressing up at a hotel.

From what I'm hearing though I should have just went like last year and not paid anything still.

Ohayocon typically has a cosplay ball Friday night, right? I know a lot of cons do and if I recall correctly ohayo did, too.

Not defending him, he sounds like a spastic asshole and is probably a closet racist, but IMO there really is a difference between dressing as a basic German soldier and an actual 'Nazi' as in an SS uniform. Especially if it's for legitimate historical reenactment. And it's not like there aren't plenty of fuck heads who DO dress in hardcore Nazi outfits because they're 'History Enthusiasts' so really this is pretty tame. He's dressed as somebody who was getting shot at in the woods, not the guy who was torturing children. But regardless he seems like an asshole.

Well... I was going to ask why my news feed on FB has been blowing up with lots of obscured Ohayocon drama, but I guess I don't have to ask for details anymore...

Yo before this starts taking off with hearsay and misinformation like last time it was brought up: Just to clarify, he may be a notorious troublemaker with a good deal of reasonable hate thrown his way, but he didn't kick it. He was racing around with friends, lost control, tried to brace his fall with his hands and a raised knee, and ended up kneeing the drywall. He didn't report it which was rather irresponsible, but it wasn't like he got bored one night and decided to kick it for fun.

I hate the very idea of it. I'm an adult going to a convention not a 14 year old at a waterpark. It's all about managing and corralling people. Not to mention at the door people not getting badges now, and security being dicks. It interferes with costumes, they look awful, they're comfortable. I don't know what else you want. And when you pair that with constantly shittier service, poor staff, poor programming... What do you expect? Not to mention the guests are a joke, I barely even look at them because they're so shitty. Wristbands were like a straw that broke the camel's back for me.

I honestly can't remember the last time I heard "Wow thanks Ohayocon staff for your good work doing (anything!)" I think my favorite story from last year was Cosplay staff. We're upstairs waiting for the contest, and the woman told us "LISTEN EVERYONE, JUST SO YOU KNOW, THIS IS YOUR BREAK. THERE IS WATER IN THE BACK. THIS WAS YOUR WARNING. IF ANY OF YOU FEEL ILL, OR PASS OUT, I DON'T CARE AND YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED." Several cosplayers went in the back to realize that the water coolers were totally empty.

No one's costume at a con like Ohayocon is good enough to be "ruined" by a plastic wristband...

[Anonymous No.8060201]

>>8060154
Oh and by ruin Im referring to what all the people whining on the fb page last year were saying. That is pretty shitty though.

[Anonymous No.8060202]

>>8060154

Never said 'ruined'. I said they interfere (physically, it is hard to work around them. Last year I had gloves with hard cuffs that covered my wrists that had to be removed/replaced every time I needed to show band.) - they still don't look good, for people who cosplay and want to photoshoot at the con, and they are uncomfortable. You can't deny any of that because it's not wrong. It seems like every year Ohayocon slides shittier and shittier. This is one of the ways. It is not the biggest and it is not the worst but it is a way.

[Anonymous No.8060240]

>>8060202
I can deny the uncomfortable thing, but that may be subjective since those kinds of bands have never bothered me (which btw are plastic which all the fags on th fb page going "waah how will we shower!?!?" seemed to fail to understand) but you're right about the photoshoot unsightliness.

I squeezed mine off when I wanted to but didn't have anything annoying one costume to get it around, and won't this year either, so yay I guess.

[Anonymous No.8060248]

I will be there! Doing press coverage for it, which honestly just means I get in free and get to do shit after hours. I'm crossplaying as Sabrina from Pokemon on Saturday ... so ... look for that. My girlfriend will be a bugcatcher and my best friend is going to be Xavier from Xavier Renegade Angel.

[Anonymous No.8060487]

>>8060240
I'd be more concerned about people with body paint and poor hygiene who let stuff accumulate on the inside tag. To me they're very uncomfortable, but I have small wrists and sensitive skin. Last year a staff member put mine on for me too tight, I couldn't squeeze it off. And I think the worst thing is when you wash your hands and it's moist under your band. It's an awful feeling.

I usually just manage to slip out of those, but the last time I went to a con with them, security grabbed my arm to thoroughly inspect my 'loose' looking wristband.

What's ohayocon like? A few people I know go up there every year but I never really cared about it to ask them.

[Anonymous No.8061900]

The part that amuses me about the wristbands is that Colossalcon has waterpark wristbands and now they offer wristbands for people over 18. It's the exact same thing, but different intentions, but no one complains about them being "inconvenient" and it's not even that hard to photoshop them out after a photoshoot.

The only reason people are upset about the wristbands has nothing to do with the wristbands themselves, but the fact that people feel babied, or are bitter about how poorly and abruptly they were presented in their first year they came into use. It doesn't help that Ohayocon's security is notorious for being hawks with superiority complexes, so the wristbands just add to that feeling of being controlled.

As you can tell from the thread, it's not great. The folks who run it are pretty awful, and they do worse every year. A few years ago they didn't even have an events schedule available until like mid-way through Friday or something. Security is run by a fascist and every year someone kicks or punches a hole in the wall on the stairwell in the Hyatt.

[Anonymous No.8062706]

>>8061900
Those wristbands are optional. I always attach my waterpark one so it's just a little bit loose and I can wiggle out of it when I want to go back over the weekend. 18+ it just makes it easier to get in the door to adult events without showing an ID.

I didn't mind Ohayo's last year because you could attach it to your badge lanyard. I usually just wrap that around my purse strap. I hope that will at least stay in place. I hate wearing those stupid things. Otherwise I'm gonna have to OTT sweet it up the whole weekend and cover my arms in wristcuffs and bangles to hide the fucking thing.

If you're from Ohio, you probably don't have many options for cons to go to. I've only ever been to Ohayocon and Matsuricon because I don't want to make the drive to Sandusky, but it's pretty good in my opinion. I like Matsuricon better, but if you've not been to many cons before, Ohayocon's okay.

Back in the day there were cons every few months to go to in Ohio.

I only go to Ohayocon because I live in Columbus. I really can't imagine traveling here from anywhere more than 2 hours away. The con itself is just not that great BUT it's always been a fantastic hang out con. So if you want to party with your friends and weeb out it's probably okay.

But yeah, Colossal is the best con in the state right now. I'd make the drive if I were you :D

The no fanart rule in the AA also makes Ohayocon feel it's not centered on anime anymore.

Colossalcon though

[Anonymous No.8069246]

What made this con go to shit, you think?

I went in middle school (mid-2000's) which is when it still had AA fanart and was much less crowded. But then I went back two years ago to find it doubled in size.

What happened, what made it so that it got so big? Is the sheer over crowding the cause of how crappy its become? Or something else like management?

Also personally I like the no ghosting rule since maybe it will create some population control.

[Anonymous No.8069419]

>>8069246
Its a combination of things. The well organized/old guard staffers have left, the con has grown and Ohayo won't(or can't) rent out the larger rooms.
They also seem like they don't care about getting new guests. I'm surprised theres a musical act tbh.

[Anonymous No.8069431]

>>8069419
I think it's a combination of that and the venue. Other larger cons have grounds for taking lots of pictures and good weather and space for hanging out outside. I really hate all the hallway sitting that happens during the con. But I'll go anyway this year because I already got a room and friends going. I might not go back next year.

[Anonymous No.8069441]

>>8069246
Current con chair doesn't give a shit about the fandom and takes home a large chunk of the profits as his salary. So less money is invested into the actual con. I have no problem seeing people get some money from the con, so long as money is going back and improvements are being made, good guests are coming out and what not. But literally the con as itself has grown stale and has been stale since the mid 2000's.

[Anonymous No.8069487]

>>8069431
Well, it does take place in winter so not many people want to go out anyways.

Combination of things. It makes me laugh evry time I see that Ohayocon is 'too big' to allow people to sell fanart. TBH, like panels, AA is rigged. They have a variety of set, 'standing' AA people who are guaranteed spots.

[Anonymous No.8070422]

I haven't been to the convention for a few years, it's sad to hear it's in such a state.
The only time I've ever had problems with the security is the guy who guards the stairs. Even if there's nothing going on those dudes have a shit fit and threaten to kick you out if you don't move to the side after a minute.

This is the first "small" convention I'm bringing my friends to. We all went to Otakon last year so I'm a little worried it's going to be disappointing.
All the tickets are bought though, so it's too late to hold off to colossalcon

[Anonymous No.8070451]

I'm a lolita attending ohayocon for the first time and I was wondering if there are any swap meets happening at ohayo this year? If not would someone be willing to set one up? I have a lot of things I don't wear anymore and not a lot of free time to make a sales post. I also love trading items. Thank you in advance.

[Anonymous No.8070475]

>>8070422
It doesn't feel much smaller than Otakon tbh, attendance and venue wise. But the programming is way worse, there's no cool photo op locations, and the artist alley sucks balls. The dealers room is as good as Ota's imo since a lot of Ota's dealers all have the same stuff. I always have fun at Ohayocon no matter how shitty the actual thing itself is because it's a great party/hangout con.

I haven't heard of anything being set up. You might want to ask on the forums if people would be up for that.

We are not talking some little trinkets either! We will
reveal the big SECRET prize right before con so you can see your goal!
You will unlock your achievement by doing the following:
- Attend 10 – 12 panels of your choice (Sorry- Concerts,
Autographs, and Dances DO NOT count towards your total)
- We would preferfor you to stay the entire panel; however,
if you cannot, we understand. To get credit for the competition though, you
need to stay through at least 20 minutes of a 1 hour panel or 45 minutes of a 2
hour panel.
- When you exit the room, speak to the designated Live Events
Representative (wearing a purple staff shirt) to punch your card
- Once you have punched 10 – 12 panels, fill in your info and
submit your card to the contest by visiting the Live Events room (Knox).
Winners will be chosen randomly from all valid entries in a
drawing at the end of Closing Ceremonies.
You need not be present to win! Winners will be contacted to
let them know how claim their prizes."

Most people are a variety of sweet and classic with a few people who wear gothic. AP is popular, as is IW, Baby. etc as far as Japanese brands go, I'd say AP is probably the most popular but I think most everyone has a variety from different brands. Haenuli is worn a lot, as is Elegy since she's based in Columbus and is a member of the comm.

I'll likely be wearing Toy March in brown on Saturday.

[Anonymous No.8086399]

>>8086216
Indie is definitely popular here! I'll be wearing Peppermint Fox if I can find a head accessory to match in time. I'm sad I couldn't get my Elegy coord done in time!

Yeah, on a good meetup, there will be like 20 regular members and maybe a handful of new ones. We've got a decently sized comm.

You can pick up pre-reg and press passes today at, I believe 8 p.m. Events start tomorrow at 10 a.m. if you're trying to give blood to the Red Cross. Noon if you're trying to keep a full body of blood all to yourself, you sack of selfish iron-rich garbage.

But for real: noon for events.

It has become a huge, three-day party for "nerd culture." It's still a great time, but the meaning and message has significantly changed. Matsuricon during the summer is more of a true anime con. As far as actual culture goes, Animarathon at BGSU in the spring offers an amazing insight into Japanese culture with some of their panels.

AMV hell, Anime Hell, definitly visit the game room, there's video rooms, but they won't run all day this year. um, just look at the schedule and see what sounds interesting. i'm planning on going to the Pokemon conspiracies and/or religious symbolism in anime panels, among others.

THE SEAGULL MEETUP IS SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY AT 9PM AT THE CROWNE PLAZA BAR.

[Ali No.8087662]

I was a dumbass and didn't request off work for Friday, but it's only a point if I call off so I think I'll do that (otherwise getting off work at 4am is gonna suck). I really want to go to the cgl meetup since last year's was pretty fun!
Not sure if I'm going to dress up Friday, but Saturday I'll be wearing gothic for Lolita Crush and Haiku.
The panels seem pretty underwhelming, but I'm not really surprised.

[Anonymous No.8087900]

Anyone doing anything fun on Thursday? I know out of towners tend to come early, plus pre-reg pick up.

Is anyone here willing to sell me some weed? I left home not realizing that I forgot eveything and I even brought my bong and everything. I know this is a pretty far stretch but I don't know anyone in Ohio who sells and I'm kind of desperate.

I was just going to wear the same outfit I did to Matsuri (Kaiji) but I really don't know how to take good pictures when people ask, so I don't want to do that again. I'll be in normal clothes too, but hopefully I'll have the cosplay I want to do done in time for my next con. Hopefully I lose weight by then too.

I parked in a lot about 2 blocks away. Chestnut is full already.

Yet another problem. I ordered badges for 6 people, and only 2 of them went through, and yet they still took 300 dollars from me, and the guy that solves these problems isn't even here.

Yeah I'm having a really great time.

[Anonymous No.8089416]

>>8089405
What do you mean by only 2 went through?

Just curious. I ordered badges for 63 people and they all went through, but that was last September.

[Anonymous No.8089431]

I mean I entered 6 people, and only two showed up on their list. I tried to show them my receipt that says I ordered 6 passes with all the names, but they said they can't do anything without the guy that has access to the PayPal to verify that they received $300, but he isn't even here.

$20 bucks says they don't end up doing anything about it. I'm gonna end up having to buy 4 more passes, and then disputing my order on PayPal.
