kinda nervous about travel since I'm coming from california, I've traveled to the east a few times before but never to new york. I saw that the info page mentioned an NYCC pool ride service with uber so I might try that out to get to my hotel from the airport.

hey also though: who thinks they will have their queue shit together this year? i would love to not be herded haphazardly through fire hazard-shaped zones while being yelled at to pack it in even further.

[Anonymous No.8553514]

>>8553461
do you mean waiting for the panels? I only really waited an hour for the cosplay contest last year and it wasn't bad at all. I got the wristband at like 12ish and came back around 7 to wait on line which was pretty small at that time. regardless, the entire javits is a fire hazard with the amount of people they cram in there now

one of the most dangerous and annoying things in the world is a convention center staff member. they are not allowed to think, at all, and that means they are the biggest jackasses in the world. you could say "jump off this bridge" and they'd do it. if you went up and told them that that was a bad idea they'd call their senior idiot who would also say "jump off the bridge." no bend at all.

>>I'm not entirely sure what they did with the props but people definitely did not get them back. They did ease up big time the next few days after that shit made the rounds.

I had to comment on this as I know the official reason why NYCC is so strict on the props.

Green Text story time.

>>Be me and GF at 2013 NYCC.
>>Check out downstairs autograph area.
>>See Sylvester Stalone and Sigourney Weaver are in a walled off safe area. PRE-PURCHASE TICKETS ONLY ALLOW YOU TO WAIT ON THEIR LINES THAT CURVE.
>>Laugh and walk away. My GF is next to me, starts walking.
>>One sec, she has to throw out gum.
>>Walks over to trash can, I wait.
>>Skinny guy with greasy ponytail, vampire fangs, and a long plastic tube that has been painted. It looks like a shitty prop for his shitty cosplay.
>>Turns out it was this, http://www.amazon.com/Giant-Confetti-Cannon-1-count/dp/B004CZG7ZQ/ref=pd_sim_21_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=13JRXTJ5NVQG9VNGMR3T
>>He smiles and aims this confetti canon in the direction of Sigourney Weaver's area.
>>BOOM! It sounds like something everything should hit the ground for.
>>Confetti doesn't even go 20 feet.
>>Everyone frozen like sheep.
>>He looks feelsbadman.jpg and quick walks to escalator.
>>Secret walls open from side of the autograph hall!
>>Security guards zerg him and drag him into one entrance.
>>All happens within 30 secs of him shooting off rainbow.
>>Doesn't even end up on the news.

And so NYCC went full "NEVAR FORGET" like the rest of the city. No cool props or plastics allowed.

SE is turning into normie con also. Last year was nothing but comic artists/writers etc which was awesome. This year it was vendors and a whole lotta shit along with the artists/writers. I much preferred last years to the latest one.

[Anonymous No.8572491]

I'm bummed I can't go this year. My only shot was if a family member or mine got the same panel she did last year and got the extra pass.

I've gone for the last three years and had a pretty fun time but I gotta say I've met some of the most wretched human beings there.

The first one had a lot of vendors too, not as much as this year's, but they also just had more space this year, so they were able to rent out more tables. Still felt like they had a decent amount of artists and writers, but they were all packed in near the ass long line for NYCC tickets

[Anonymous No.8572522]

>>8572496

Dude, thank you! I've felt so alone telling that story since it happened. No blogs, news outlets, or any con goers ever mention it. If it weren't for my GF being 5 feet from the guy when he set his tube off, I would wonder if I was hallucinating.

But yeah, funny how every just stood there and stared right? That guy would've been able to take out half the room if he was armed. Scary to think about it.

[Anonymous No.8572526]

>>8572522
Fucking tell me about it. I can't believe they'll take people's blunted metal or hard plastic props but do such mediocre security checks.

I'm a type one diabetic and so whenever I go to a con I mention that I have syringes and other medical supplies in my bag. The people are usually thorough and get through my bag but not at NYCC.

Every time I've gone they've just gone "yeh ok", poke the first couple things in my bag and send me through. Metal detectors or not, I'm suprised that such a major event in NEW YORK FUCKING CITY of all places has such lax security. I could have easily fit one if my guns in my bag and they would have let me walk the fuck through.

I hope it's better this year because it's only a matter of time before some skin head or royal kebab gets offended by something and decides to kill people.

But nah, no metal or hard plastic props bro.

They don't even check the bottom of your bag or anything. I open my backpack and they just look at the top and thats it. They don't even check the side pockets or any other compartments, its pretty funny honestly. I always say to my friend that it would be so fucking easy for someone to do something. They just don't give a fuck

Yeah Mark Hamill, my bad, was about to hit the hay when I typed up who I can remember seeing at past NYCCs. Doesn't matter if they do a ton of cons though, they're still big draws. I didn't name the celebs who are just there for autograph sessions by the way, was just going on actual people who did panels, presentations, and walked the con floor.

Marsters played Spike in Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and Angel

[Anonymous No.8592372]

>>8592042
They are big draws but I can always see them at another con or at next years. What I mean is that there hasn't really been a HUGE one time panel at NYCC. Something like the Daredevil panel last year, like the Star Wars panel at SDCC a few months ago. They had the whole fucking cast up there and more, you don't see that type of shit at NYCC. Autographing is a whole different story, I ain't gonna pay a big name a lot of cash just to take a picture with me and write their name on whatever I have. I know not all of them charge but that's some bullshit. I'm just playing doubles advocate here, I'm going all 4 days regardless of the shit they have

[Anonymous No.8592404]

>>8592372
Big obstacle NYCC has is it's not near Hollywood. Studios will double-think flying sets out here for a 4 day con, but SDCC is just down the highway when you compare it to NYCC. You get big name actors at NYCC is they are live in town or filming here, but that's about it, but out in California, SDCC is just way more reknown with 30+ years under its belt like DragonCon. NYCC just became big 3-4 years ago

Does anyone else think it would be funny if they end up NOT selling tickets at midtown and that by not saying that they are mean they can dodge bullet?

He's a contributor only, meaning he sends his shit in and hopes they us it, but he keeps posing himself off as a working member of the staff of the magazine, when they don't even have him credited as a staffer. And he's begging people to put in money for his Godfundme? I'll shoot with better photographers that'll be there.

I used to go to the first few back in High School (~2006-2010 IIRC). I stopped for a few years. I want to Sunday last year and I loved it so much I decided to go Fri-Sun this year.

>>what are you looking forward to most?
Hanging out with friends, panels, meeting new+famous people, and buying stuff I don't have the will to convince myself to buy other years.

>>making any cosplays?
I thought about it, but I don't have the funds for anything decent.

>>anything worrying you that maybe others could help with?
I'm already on /m/ looking at Gunpla guides, and asking friends for suggestions, so I'm good.

For those taking the 7 train, I suggest you sit at the front car closest to the second door from the front.

That or the third car, last door from the front.

Closest to the stairs and you'll be ahead of the crowd when everyone decides to get on the escalators.

Who will be wearing their cosplay to and from the convention? I'm scared that New Yorkers will fucking eat me alive when they see my in a costume. This will be my first NYCC so I have no idea how it will be.

[Anonymous No.8652531]

>>8652497
I'm going in costume but I plan to take ubers/cabs with friends rather than walking. Easier on the feet and a little less nerve wracking and you don't have to deal with street harassment. I'm sure there will be lots of cosplayers though so you shouldn't feel alone.

[Anonymous No.8652554]

>>8652531
New Yorker here, be prepared for at least a handful of street harassment and for people to stop you to ask what is going on. Try and go in a group if possible.

>New Yorkers will fucking eat me alive
what do you base this on? nobody gives a shit here

[Anonymous No.8652836]

>>8652573
Honestly this, there's really not much to be afraid of. Yeah, you'll get stopped maybe a few times, people asking what's going on, but that's really it.

I mean fuck, I've seen this guy on random days of the week outside my apartment building who goes around wearing these duck tape high heel boots, a jacket with no shirt, a giant top hat, and walks around with a cane. Nobody gives a fuck.

If you're really concerned, just save elements of your cosplay to put on later. I'm going as Scarecrow from Batman, and I'm just going to walk to the Javits center without my mask on.

Beside, the other thing is you're never really going to be alone. You'll end up seeing someone else in a costume no matter where you are in the city.

[Anonymous No.8652972]

We really give no fucks.

It's the tourists that you should be worried about, however.

[Anonymous No.8653639]

>is this your first NYCC or are you a veteran?
This is year 5. Last year was my best time yet, with very few complaints. The only problems I had last time are fixed by more planning and a better hotel this year.
>what are you looking forward to most?
Buying a SHITLOAD of comics. The Venture Bros. panel will also be great, as always, but I always come back from New York with half a library's worth of new stuff.

>making any cosplays?
Going as Viewtiful Joe, for a UMVC3 group costume with a few friends. Currently entering panic mode on the last days with the helmet.
>anything worrying you that maybe others could help with?
Does anyone know how I could get see-through yellow triangles on my visor without it looking like garbage and me not being able to see?

Wear your costumes to the con. It's NYC, no one cares as long as you don't clog up the sidewalk. The only thing you have to worry about are annoying tourists, and other people asking you if they're heading in the right direction for the con.

I take the LIRR to the con and walk to Javits, and I always seem to get assimilated into a crowd of people dressed up the closer I get.

If you and your friends are wearing those outfits Friday, there's a fighting game meetup at 3 outside by the concrete pillars.
