Last thread in autosage. Stories, pictures, overall thoughts on the con as a whole.

Other than my problems with the embassy, i felt the convention was just lacking this year. Was the con center itself smaller? It really felt smaller. On saturday all the aisles were completely crowded. I didn't have these issues last year. I did get to meet up with more people. Photoshoots had hardly any people. Also, can someone confirm what caused the fire alarm? I heard it was because the smoke machines and the hotel didnt shut the detectors off.
Only weird story i have is from a friend of mine
>friend starts telling me this chick came up and gave him her number
>she then mentions she's an escort and was selling cocaine
>friend was baffled and told her to fuck off
>she starts talking to teens to try and sell cocaine

few hours later
>i run into friend at hyatt and he's telling me this story
>turns out said escort was listening
>sends friend a text asking why he'd be going around telling people bad things about her
>she asks him in text: Is it because you're afraid people will find out i'm a transvestite?

I got to see these texts. Needless to say this guy gets the weirdest shit happen to him.

I really enjoyed the kancolle panel. Wish I wasn't late and missed the first 20 or so mins. They were cosplaying as Kongou, TTK, and Hiei and really knew their shit and loved the game. The audience was also very interactive too and them playing the game showing us and sharing their stories of events and stuff was really fun. Pretty much my own favorite panel of the con.

The con overall... well, coming from Youmacon, the game room was 100% dissappointment. Not only was it absolutely tiny, and with a smaller selection, the arcade room was 50 cents per play. The fuck guys, put that shit on freeplay.
The panel selection was kinda bunk. I mostly hung around with the guys I was staying with since it was our first time meeting up face to face, but I didn't feel bad for missing a single panel besides the first 07th Expansion one, which I missed due to traffic on the drive down. So many were cancelled too. They were mostly uninteresting, of course, but still.

Honestly, though, I had a blast and look forward to attempting to attend next year, too. The level of cosplay seemed to be somewhat higher, the thrill of being somewhere new in and of itself, and the people were really nice and sociable. I'm not used to being able to just strike up convos with random strangers like that, it was pretty cool.

I felt so uncomfortable at the game room compared to the one at ASTL. You couldn't bring in any bags and you had to give up your own badge just to have a controller.

I don't think it was by any means a bad cosplay, I had a blue razr phone, the white jacket with bunny ear hood and even the mp3 player. Guess its just that obscure. Oh well. I still enjoyed being Hibiki and I still enjoyed talking smt and desu with those who did recognize me.

Also I did rack up a ton of street passes. Megrez has never been so easy, well except those times on ng+ back then but you get the point.

So it wasn't just me. Aside from 50% off, a fanfiction panel, and maybe 1 more I can't remember, I didn't really care about everything else.

Garzey's Wing is comedy gold but given the time, crowd, and smallness of the projector screen, it would have been better in one of the smaller panel rooms on the lower floors. The crowd going nuts and screaming was not a pleasure to listen to with such a loud echo off the tall walls.

>>8342907
Yo should really do Jojo. Hanging out with you Thursday night you really showed how much you loved it.

I'll look into Johnny. I did have an ideo with Young Dio where I'd carry around a tray with meat (probably fake) and have the dish labeled as "Charred Danny" or something like that.

Honestly, we always have more Johnnys than Young Dios, so if you want to do Dio, definitely go for it!

The only problem with doing a Jojo from Part 5 onward is that I don't really have the body type for it; I'm a thick-cut piece of bacon and I'd need a FULL BRAZILIAN to do it any justice. Plus I want to drop, like, 5% bodyfat but I need to do that anyway.

Not to say that I won't still do it, I'll just feel dirty doing it.

for them being so strict. Sorry but saying 'I don't like eating alone' is a pretty weak argument. How hard is it to just follow what they're asking? Christ. I went down each morning and was fine with eating alone. Friends would either join up later or eat what they had already brought with (granola bars or whatever else they packed) in the room.

i've just never been to one, and honestly, for as many years that i've been cosplaying, i never practice posing, so was afraid of looking awkward lol. plus that heat xD

i'm older (28) and was really debating going this year again (feeling too old and that it wasn't worth the money) but had an epiphany that I have a lot of fun cosplaying, so next year that's going to be my focus! so i def hope the photoshoot goes better!

Apologies for the shitty picture, but the Papers Please guy deserves some publicity. For the people who didn't go, he was asking people questions to see if they got admitted to ACen - things like "Have you showered today?" "Are you a brony?" "Do you have any waifus to declare?"

Dude. I'm 28 also, and just recently got into cross-play.

The photoshoots are THE BEST place to get recognized and meet other fans. Posing is pretty easy for fighting games, and even if you don't know, there are many other fans that can help you out.

Don't give up, the cosplay community has too many chicks. We need more dudes like you to balance it out.

Dunno if you'll see this or not, but I was feeling that same way last year, oddly enough that next con I went to I ended up seeing a lot of older people cosplaying. Like, grandmother/grandfather old. There's no such thing as too old anymore, man. As long as you love it, it's time to do it.

Well, just to explain (and rant some) it's more that I wasn't sure what to do being my age. All my friends have moved onto having kids and being "professionals" lol, and I've actually complained about it before, being straight edge and awkward makes it hard for me to be comfortable around people my own age, and I feel like a creep talking to anyone younger haha.

So it was more like I wasn't sure at ALL why I should still be going (don't go with any groups, don't talk much when there, don't even buy anything lol) like if it was worth the money for the rooms and badges. But I realized I love cosplaying and having my pictures taken is a huge confidence booster, so next year, I'm going to get out and walk around and take more pics and put myself out there rather my usual 'take a two hour break in my room between the few panels I want to see'. It becomes my justification to go xD

>> No.8345071

Hmm...I know that feeling. Most of my friends have all gotten married, gotten kids, bought a house etc. but a lot of us still go to cons (namely GenCon for the big one that everyone makes it to). Out of my group of friends, only myself and one other cosplay at all, and only at other cons. I think you really nailed it with

> I realized I love cosplaying and having my pictures taken is a huge confidence booster

I love doing it, and love seeing other people who are really into it, too. Unlike you, I actually made an effort to go to more panels this year than previous years and found that it helped make the experience more enjoyable. When I'm not at a panel, though, I pretty much just walk the skyway and move from the Hyatt lobby to the DESCC looking for neat and/or lesser seen cosplays. I ask for a photo, and if the person is up for it, I chat them up about it. As long as you love it, the whole "I'm too old for this" stigma kinda washes away.

For a fun experience, try going to GenCon or another somewhat sizable tabletop convention sometime and see what it's like being on the low-end of the age scale. 20-30 is straight babyface there.

That's the attitude, friend. Age ain't nothing if you're doing what you love in matters like these.

And don't be worried about your friends having homes and families, it's not good to compare yourself to your peers like that. Everyone's different, there's no real measure to success other than if you're satisfied with your life for what it is.

haha, i love Gencon, probably have the most fun there due to how interactive it is, but my good d&d buddy just moved out to baltimore last summer, and he's who i went with lol.

that's what i plan on doing tho, spend time walking around taking pics and by doing so be around the convention more. i still plan on attending a bunch of panels tho

haha, im not worried about it so much as it gets lonely xD i don't feel like i'm failing to be a success, i take care of my own responsibilities and priorities, which is all i really want out of an adult life. i think its just a nostalgia thing, remembering when like a huge group of us would go and be goofy and random
