I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing for room at AX. I bought 0 - 4 tickets last year, and had to defer because friends bailed and I didn't get the time off work. This year none of my friends want to go since they're going to Otakon instead. I've been on the fence about going since I've done with solo convention before and I'm not a huge fan.

Anyone have a spare bed and room in their group? I swear I shower regularly and am not THAT creepy.

Overcrowding, long lines, and people taking photographs in horribly inconvenient places, which exasperates the overcrowding.

AX is the only con I limit my day drinking at; there are just too many people until later in the night.

Westin Bonaventure is best if you want to hang out with the people who do the Midnight Channel meetup at 12am. Unfortunately, that meetup feels like a sekrit club.

Most of the late night parties from AX like AX Karaoke tend to continue in Westin as well.

Lastly, the walk from AX to Westin at night is really great with friends, it feels really nice.

Two things

1. People usually get invited to parties by friends or start their own parties and invite friends
2. Going to a room party where you know nobody typically sucks

Really stop trying to find parties to go into and just make friends at the con.

If you want to stay with the AX hotels, the Kawada Hotel will probably the cheapest. It's also the smallest, almost the size of a dorm room. Good for 2-4 people, bad if you're trying to fit between 6-8 people.

If not, check out the hotels that are near USC. Those will usually run along the normal fare of under $100/night but could be higher because of the 4th of July weekend.

Debating on whether to work at exhibitor hall for a day. Going to be working one night for a company panel at the minimum and I do want to spend a day or two actually going around the con. Worked last year in the exhibitor hall for a day and a panel at night and that was really exhausting but pretty interesting.

Still working out if friends are going to get a hotel or not. I live not too far away but it is a lot more convenient.

Probably the absolute cheapest although sometimes sketch place to stay would be like with some random apartment with airbnb. I haven't tried it but friends have though they have had mixed results.

I tried.

>Call back two weeks later.
>Sorry, the entire hotel is booked.

I keep calling now in hopes that some fuck head cancels.

No room for me. I only live 10 minutes without traffic from the con, so I'll just commute unless one of my friends offers me a spot in a worthwhile room. (ie one of the Marriotts and with few enough people that I get my own bed.)

This will be my 15th AX and I'm kind of over the party scene there so I don't mind just hanging with friends during the day.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 14 20:07:44 2015 No.8181476 >>8172162 That party kind of sucked, I was there both nights. Too many tryhard guys, not many girls, and way too crowded.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 14 21:39:40 2015 No.8181612 When do they usually start announcing guests? I don't know who to expect this year, last year's big thing was Sailor Moon but I don't really know what's big with the American fanbase this year other than stuff that has ongoing popularity like AoT.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 14 21:43:58 2015 No.8181619 >>8181612 Late. Always late. I'd say April, May, June. Heard that whoever is picking guests is doing things entirely differently too.

I'm slightly worried about that, I've never read or watched Tokyo Ghoul (though I guess I have 3 months to rectify that).
My favorite main events are the concerts so I'm hoping they get a good musical guest. Fiction Junction was fantastic. Somebody else with a long career like that would be great.

Hetalia's 6th season is supposed to premiere in July and there could be some dub announcement for...idk, Kuroshit, but I can't really think of any 'big' anime this year.

The last concert I went to was for Kalafina. 2014's video game orchestra concert "special announcement" was so damn underwhelming; I hope they step it up this year.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 14 22:56:32 2015 No.8181738 got waitlisted for the JW. this has never happened before. will I get notified if there is an opening? should I just give up and start looking into other hotels?

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 15 02:55:53 2015 No.8182099 Thought I had a jw reservation but it vansished somehow? Maybe i fucked up and missed a button. ANYWAY got a room at the Hotel Figueroa as a last resort. How are they with cosplayers how bad did I fuck up?

I visited my friends staying there. The hotel is old, smells old, and looks old. Don't expect anything near as nice as the JW. It's good enough in that it's a place to sleep that's cheap and close to the con, but it just seems like a slightly nicer motel-type place to me.

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 15 04:00:51 2015 No.8182176 I'm a 10 minute drive away so I don't need a hotel. Besides, I always end up leaving around 7pm every day.

Best part is how heading towards their underground restroom feels like a scene from The Shining, that said it's still good since IIRC it's the 3rd closest hotel from the convention center

Kalafina was suppose to have another concert last year? Many Japanese acts are passing up AX and just booking gigs at venues in the US on their own. I believe it has something to do with that Baby Metal April Fools shit they pulled off last year. along with their negative reputation within the industry that is still going on.

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 15 17:22:50 2015 No.8183093 >>8182591 Actually what I heard was Babymetal broke contract after they announced them so they played it off as a joke to save face.

I meant AX's plans fell through, not that they were trying to get FictionJunction (idk why I keep thinking Kalafina).

I didn't know about the Babymetal thing, but honestly, I probably would have preferred the video game orchestra. I don't get Babymetal.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 16 00:01:49 2015 No.8183812 What possible anime could AX premeire? From that, the guest list should be more clearer because most of them (if not all) tie into the industry and what they're showing off

if you don't like metal to begin with, you probably won't like babymetal. some of their songs are silly as fuck (yon, gimme choco). some are good (megitsune, road of resistance). at its core it is female fronted metal but with the females happening to be 15 and 17 years old. the lyrical subjects vary but it's probably a good thing the international fanbase cannot understand them.

if AX had managed to land babymetal it would have been a massive accomplishment. their show at the fonda sold out really, really fast. people would have gone to AX just for their concert.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 16 18:39:08 2015 No.8185392 For what it's worth, I'd much rather be in the new Marriott (Courtyard, is it?) than the JW. The rooms are bigger and it's cheaper.
