Has anyone ever used the I-drive Trolley for cons?

I saw that its only $7 for a 3 day unlimited pass, and it claims that they arrive every 20 minutes.

Our hotel is a little further then we wanted at a mile walk, which isnt that bad but later on in the day thats a 2 mile walk both ways if we want to make a quick trip back to the hotel to resupply the alcohol or something, so curious if anyone has any experience good or bad on using it for megacon

>> No.8183030

>>8182890
It's kinda worth it, in that it's great mornings and at night when you don't want to walk back.

But don't expect to be able to use it at all on Saturday and maybe even Friday during the day, the traffic on i-drive for the con is so bad, walking is way fucking faster

I'm assuming none of your cosplays have taken you more than fifteen minutes of time to get into or give you any strain when you're wearing it. Most cosplayers have to deal with uncomfortable shoes after lots of walking, having to reapply makeup, carrying around heavy props and armor, and generally stressing out about how they look because they're perfectionists and can't see what they look like from behind. Lots of hobbies can be fun and also stressful, especially when it takes a lot of hard work.

Lol, here you go again making assumptions and being a little condescending shit, im starting to realize why you get stressed out. I get done telling you ive been doing this probably since you were in diapers, and you're trying to explain to me 101.

It's more than apparent your stress is all internal, you cause your own self. I've done closet cosplays to shit that's required me to make my own uncomfortable ass stilts and head pieces I can barely see out of.

no wonder the con scene has degraded over the years, its because people like you looking for attention and only doing cosplay so you can be praised by others.

I think it might be time for you to shave your neck(or legs) and go sit outside and stare at the sky, have some whiskey, or commit sudoku so you can reflect on how retarded everything you're saying is.

I'm kinda excited for Mega even tho last year was completely unorganized and I didn't have such a great time due to the friends I had, but I have a good feeling this year is going to be good since I'm just going with my boyfriend so it's drama free and fun; I'm cosplaying as Richter from Hotline Miami on Friday and Sunday and Cyborg Noodle on Saturday

Though I am abit dissapointed about the ticket price, I remember last year it was around $60 and then right when I got there a friend of mine called me and said "aye check this shit out, they just raised the price" it was abit of horse shit but I had come prepared with extra money so I didn't mind it as much, but holy fuck Mega.

No times have been posted for a meet, and I highly doubt a swap meet will hap pen considering the usual number of people that show up. I don't believe they have any panels or rooms, but last I heard there were plans for a panel. Unless you're in the group, I would be uncomfortable posting any specifics so try sending a message to join. Or just wait for a schedule to be posted on Mega's site.

CFLS is also going to be at Florida Anime Experience later in April and they may have a booth. I'm not 100% on this though, but just keep an ear out. You may have an easier time with swapping/selling at FAE, even though that show is utter shit.
