At the moment, cleaning up my room. I have some of the materials so far but I can't work with the clutter.

>Any panels you are looking forward to?
No idea, it'll be our first time attending. We've been to PAX Prime multiple times, so we're familiar with the area.

>How do you deal with Seattle traffic?
Wear comfortable shoes since a lot of things are in walkable distance, and having the Orca card helps speed along transiting on buses and stuff.

[Anonymous No.8161570]

Top floor of Pacific Place (one block north of the con center) has a bunch of nice restaurants that tend to be weeb-free as they're a touch pricier than what normal congoers like to spend on food. Otherwise be prepared to do a bit of walking as everything close by tends to be swamped.

[Anonymous No.8161579]

Potbelly is a solid choice. Pacific place and westlake center's food court are also good.

>Where you from?

>Cosplay plans
My primary goal was to dress up as Cormano. However, the guy I commissioned to make the poncho for the costume flaked out. I fucking gave him 6 MONTHS to get this shit knitted and he couldn't do it, despite him being mostly unemployed during that time. Fuck.

Other than that, I was planning on throwing a Ragnarok Online Rogue outfit together. Not too confident about going shirtless, so I was planning to wear chainmail underneath the jacket (which is an armor I typically used on my old Rogue anyway).
>What you're doing?
Probably going to wander around and take photos as usual (pic related. it's probably the only good photo I've ever taken).
>Any panels you are looking forward to?
Nothing, unless they actually do a Touhou panel again. The one from '13 was really good. I also want an to see a competent Homestuck panel done, if only because every one that I've seen so far has been complete shit. Seriously trolls, get it together already.

I mean sure. However I'm not sure how good of a meal plan that is during a con.

I'd like to say cheap food at Sakuracon, and Seattle as a whole is nearly out of the questions (Maybe the subway in the con at off peak hours.) so be sure you bring your protein bars and all that jazz. Take care of yourself this year people.

So uh, question.

Does everyone at the seagull meetup cosplay? I lurk the board just seeing all the cosplay is great and I like the community, but I don't do it because I'm a flat broke college student and I'm afraid that anything I threw together on my extremely limited budget would be pretty shit.

Oh god, I can't remember. I looked at the schedule a couple days ago and already forgot what's going on. Comedy AMVs, not because they're funny (because they aren't) but it's a long-standing tradition so I'm pretty much obligated to go.

Walk from hotel because it's only a block away (I'm at the Olive 8 for the first time, anyone heard good things?), take boltbus up/down

I've been coming to Sakura-Con from Spokane and not cosplaying at all since 2006, and I'm seriously considering making this year my last year. About the only fun thing aside from buying random cool shit is Zapp's shindig. Nobody wants to do funny cosplay skits anymore (all that runway model bullshit these days), late night cosplay chess was a complete joke last year, and nobody else seems to want to put on an awesome panel.

...I actually get the impression the con is run by a combination of conservative Christians and SJWs (strange bedfellows much?), which may explain a lot of why it's not that fun. Granted, the local anime con on the east side of the state is a hugbox run by a team of SJWs and fear mongers who are horribly afraid of what their public image is (read: we can't have too much boob showing!), but come on, I expected something more fun out of Seattle.

Can anyone give me a good reason why I should keep attending this clusterfuck? Or should this be my last year there, and I should just go to PAX and ECC instead?

Oh yeah. Traffic. Just remind yourself that people in Southern California and Honolulu have it much worse, and count your blessings on that.

If you go, there's no point to buying a badge.

Late Night chess last year was impeded by the organizers suddenly and unexplainably taking the written scripts away from the MCs and making them wing it right before it opened. Just in case you were wondering.

[Anonymous No.8207871]

>>8207837

Yeah, and for some reason they had this whole really weird "plot" going on with all the Star Trek characters, but none of them were on mic so you could only hear them if you were on the board.

They didn't tell anyone what they were doing and one of them tried to involve the king on my side, and she had to tell the guy like three times that if he touched her she'd punch him before he backed off.

Chess is a fucking trainwreck as far as organization. Glad I'm not participating this year.
