It's a little early, but let's get a Dragoncon thread started.
Who's going? Any new cosplays? favorite past Dcon moments?

The hype starts now.

I need one more model for my group's part in the j-fashion show. Not gonna reveal what brand we're representing cus I like surprises, but it's menhera. You will have to purchase your coordinate, but you'll get a discount on your order when ordering 3 or more items and hey, the clothes are cute and reasonably priced.

The reason this isn't being done in the traditional fashion show style (You borrow the clothes and give them back to the seller when you're done modeling them) is because the designer isn't actually coming to the con and it'd be a real shitshow of them shipping us the clothes and us shipping them back with the risk of them getting damaged in transit.

So, if you're on board with the idea, shoot me an email gulls. You'll need to add me on fb and contact the fashion show organizers to let them know you're interested.

I'm not going this year, but have been interested in it for a while now, whats the word on ticket prices? I see the 4 day pass is $130 now but do they start out cheaper if you order well in advance?

About how far out from the con would i need to look at reserving a hotel?

Anonymous Tue Jul 26 17:11:58 2016 No.9116520

>>9116469

Yeah they're much cheaper in the fall.

Hotels: a couple of the hotels will start booking for 2017 either this month or in August. These will be gone before the convention starts.

A couple of the hotels have gone to a legacy system where they offer first dibs to people checking in at this year's con. These are impossible unless a friend is getting rid of theirs.

The Marriott plays hotel room Hunger Games, usually in October. Rooms are available for about five minutes.

There's also overflows but you don't get dcon tv which is one of the best parts of the con (don't miss panels while getting into costume)

On site hotel rooms are long gone, try AirBNB in the area, you could luck out. We are driving in from Marietta and park in the parking deck, it's $40 for all day it's worth the price through.

>>9116469
The cheapest pricing would be right after the end of last Dragon Con (we picked up ours for $90 IIRC) $130 isn't that bad to be honest, $32.50 for a whole day event (well Monday is like a 1/2 day/recovering day)

If you are not dressing up 5~10 min walk away should be fine, if you are dressing up closer the better to be honest.

I'll be heading out there if I can manage to get liberty.

I don't have time to make any new elaborate cosplays because I'm all kinds of busy with schooling, but I might be able to whip up something simple.

If not, I may just reuse stuff from previous cons. I had a pretty decent SU gettup at last year's D*Con.

Anonymous Fri Jul 29 22:06:07 2016 No.9120947

How great is Dragon Con? I used to love cons but was honestly pretty bored at the last con I went to. But the programming was more centered around stuff I was as interested in (Marvel/DC) and there isn't a big cosplay scene, so I was thinking DC might still be fun for me. I'm thinking about booking a last minute trip to Dragon con since there are hotel rooms available and airfare is cheap, but I've felt wishy washy about it.

I like D*C because there's an incredible amount of options. Just want to people watch be the dolphin statues? Feel free. Want to spend the entire time posing and getting pictures? Easy, just please don't block the skywalk. Feel like spending all day talking about costuming? About comics? About Dr. Who? Choose any of them or all of them, programming all day (and night usually). Don't feel like sleeping? Boom- Aquarium night, live music, drum circles, room parties, and movies/anime the whole while. Lots of dosh to burn? Amazing dealer area and HUUUGE artist alley and art section. Auctions and charity sales the entire while. Or, patronage! Lots of bands trying to get their names out, budding sci fi and fantasy authors looking for their core superfans to get them off the ground. Want spectacles? March in the parade and be the toast of Atlanta. Hit up the cosplay contest and show your skills. Need a break from the con? That Aquarium is awesome during the day too, Coca Cola headquarters is literally right next door, and the Georgia Tech campus is nearby. Come back for the video or board gaming, the tin-foil types talking about spooks or spies, or the Klingon beauty pageant.

In short, there is a ton of stuff to do at any time. Truly a magical place.

That does sound like the kind of con that's more up my alley these days. Plus I'm kind of looking for an excuse to finish some historical costumes I've been working on and Dragon con seems like the kind of event where that would fit in. I think I have 1-2 days to decide before the last hotel block closes, but I think I may just book it.

Right now I'm midway through a pair of regency outfits (my dress and spencer are done, need a bonnet, husband's many layers of clothing are in progress). I prefer Georgian to Regency for women's clothing, but for some weird reason my husband has been asking me to make him a regency outfit for awhile and I do like Jane Austen, so I figured why not. If I end up going and have the time, I may make an addition outfit for myself from a different era.

It's the biggest con in the south east, crowd are generally older and they pour a lot of money and work into their costumes since it's pretty much the only con they'd attend. Few first timers who went to other cons always comment on how overall the level of costumes are way nicer.

There are so many thing to do, last year my wife and I focused more on going to panels and it was eye opening on some of the stuff, especially the one about copyright and fair use law/rules.

You don't regret going for sure, this year we have a larger crew going (5) and we are going doing the driving into Dragon*Con thing again, we tried riding the MARTA... it's sucked big time. Don't ride MARTA unless you really really have to.

To me it is.

Also it's not that hard finding parking a shortish walk from the hotels. I just pay the premium and end up paying ~$20/day to park near the Mariott in the parking lot connected to Pacific Rim.

Not sure why it's never full, but I've parked there every year for the past 3 years without issue.

I don't don't why he won't do something like that. I'm parking AT the Marriott, so the $35 a day makes sense. I'd rather be lazy, since we'll be doing enough walking as it is. He likes saving money I guess, but I'd never park that far, especially with all the shit I bring.

Pro-tip for dragoncon parking.

Park at the cancer research building garage across the street from the Aloft. It's about a block away from the Marriott. You get a ticket when you get in saying it's ~$20 a day. When you leave Monday, congrats, it's a holiday. Nobody is working. They just leave the exit gates open and you simply drive out without the need to pay.

I'm not sure you can get into the lobbies. They check badges at all the doors. You can hang out outside, though. The crowds are insane and you can do plenty of people watching if you don't mind wandering around in a huge mob of people or get lucky and find a nice spot to sit.

Oh gosh, what's the Apple Dude from again? Shovelknight?

Not a huge One Piece Fan so I can't name the character, but what about the mask? What are you making that out of? I'd be hesitant to cover my face so closely since I sweat like an animal.

Now that I think about it I never see anyone besides Luffy and Longnose McSlingshotguy. Yay, variety!

let's see some cosplay lineups!
One is from scratch (lots of sewing and some propmaking still to do), one is just getting some alterations and touch ups, and another is a carry over from previous cons.

It's a burlap sack, actually. And yes, but I've made a few alterations to make it a bit more conservative.

>>9135608
Yup! It's the Troupple Acolyte from Shovel Knight.

The mask is made from left over upholstery fabric my father had lol. To keep it on my face I use hollywood fashion tape. I get hot/sweaty really easily too, but that stuff still sticks even after wearing it at a summer con for 5+ hours.

Alright, neat.

Everything I want to wear is way too hot, but I do it anyway like an idiot. I had on a wool coat and hood over a knee length linen tunic one year and was absolutely soaked when I got back in the room.

Of course the hood fell over my face right when he took the photo. Was the thief / archer in an adventuring party that year. The fighter was in forty pounds of mail with a wooden shield, so I wasn't the only one sweating.

Kept getting separated in the con and everyone thought I was something different. Medieval Green Arrow, Robin Hood, all kinds of stuff. I just smiled and agreed with whatever they said.

Funimation only do industry panels because they feel compelled to (they just repeat everything they announced at Anime Expo and Otakon).

Having an anime video room is always great in my eyes. I'm a Brit, and the anime cons here couldn't care less about actually playing shows (one reason why I don't go to them anymore).

As someone who actually did video rooms for 5+ years, I always find the people who go to video rooms to be a curious breed.
Like I understand having downtime, or seeing something on the schedule you're curious about. I try and get a wide variety of stuff, my personal motto was "something old, something new, something popular, something niche."

I feel too old for AWA because there is nothing interesting there in terms of panels and I don't really party. The crowd there is really young so I feel a bit out of place when it comes to general conversation.

Momocon this past year was fucking great though.

They had so many great panels from some of my favorite youtubers, video games stuff, general all around great programming. I'm hyped for next year because they seem to know how to attract and treat these guys so they keep coming back.

My brother, his girlfriend and I are going to dragoncon and I was hoping you'd join in a prank that me and his girlfriend have been playing on my brother during otakon. He's gonna be cosplaying as the deer from adventure time on Sunday, but he get's really pissed off if you ask him about it. So, all throughout Saturday night at otakon, we would get strangers to ask him, "Hey, aren't you going to be the deer?" with hilarious results. It's a really stupid inside joke that makes no sense, but his reaction is just too good. I'm leaving his selfie here (which he cut me out of with that lightsaber filter, the bastard). He's going to be dressed as Jamie Lannister and Ron Stoppable during Friday and Saturday, so be on the lookout for that.

If you happen to see him, just ask him, "Hey, aren't you going to be the deer?" It'll totally mess with his head if a complete stranger from out of nowhere said that to him.

There is an entire track dedicated to anime and manga, their programming isn't as good as it could be but it's there, they also have a room showing anime almost 24/7. As far as cosplay goes I would say anime makes up about 15-25% of the cosplays I see. However I split time between the anime and fantasy/sci-fi literature tracks, which are right above anime, so I probably see more than you would hanging out in other areas.

Funimation make a presence there, in a few panels, essentially repeating info they announced at AX and Otakon. Last year, they were real jerks; I asked them something about when they would come to the UK (which they have since done) and they gave me the "How-the-fuck-am-I-supposed-to-know-you-peasant' look.

Agreed with the percentage of cosplayers, but I like now they've added an anime room...kind of shows that because they don't have as many panels, anime is represented just as much as the other tracks.

I feel like Dragoncon shits on all the decent panelists they get by luck, and then those people don't come back to do it again.

Fucking Totalbiscuit and a bunch of his folks could have easily filled one of the largest rooms and they got relegated to a fucking 50 person room at most last year.. The same shit happened again this year, so they didn't come.

Momocon gave Totalbiscuit the whole fucking main room for an hour, and guess what, he filled it.

I don't know who does the programming at Dragoncon, but I don't understand the point of these panels that are always at 10% capacity the whole convention and they're the same ones every year..

I wish they'd give more room to some of the major anime panels. I think it was 2014, they had some Sailor Moon panel, and now I can't remember who exactly it was that was there, but the line to get in was absolutely insane. Total batshit huge and a clusterfuck the way it was handled. Most people in the line didn't get in. They also wouldn't let anyone in if someone came out.

You a likely to be spoiled for any other con.

The costumes are quality
The programming is quality and varied
The venues are huge
The people are nice
Food is accessible and affordable
There is even a CVS for all your other needs in the plaza.
The con is pretty much 24hrs for 4 days.

If you are poor and you just want to see Dragoncon go to the PARADE on Saturday.

You'll see a LOT of costumes, it's free, it's fun, and maybe, just maybe you can sneak in your hotel of choice in the throng of people making their way back inside.

But you'll have to stay there though, you can't leave cause of security.

My advice is get up early Saturday, see the parade, go have a bite to eat downtown to costume watch, hit up a few Pokestops/ingress portals and go home.

Not really - for those who bring out the big guns for cosplays, it's worlds more convenient to stay at a host.

I've been in an overflow, the Hilton, and most recently the Marriott, and I was genuinely surprised at how much less tiring it was to get back to the room, even just comparing the Marriott to the Hilton. This is probably no big deal for non-cosplayers, but staying in a host hotel and avoiding a huge walk in the heat is very worth it for me.

I've gone on and off for the last 11 years but these days I can usually just afford to go for the day. It's sad when you could afford a hotel within walking distance in high school and as an adult with an actual job it's totally out of the question.

Last year we got scammed parking near the Sheraton. The place said $20, but when we left it turned out to be $40. Anyone know where I can find day parking for under $20 around the con?

Yeah the 161 Peachtree Center Garage up their price from $20 to $40 so I went and got their monthly parking pass which is $115 for the month and $15 one time card activation fee. Since we have to be down there to pick up the pass on Saturday that's 5 days of parking at $40 it's cheaper to buy the monthly pass and cancel it after the con and reactivate it next year.

Westin was apparently booked when I tried about ten. I think it opened at nine.

Got in at the Sheraton, though.

No idea if the hotels need time to update or clear their books or whatever they do or are just completely booked the day after the convention a full year ahead of the next one. That's crazy if so.

hilton and hyatt did legacy bookings, so they wont open reservations for any remaining rooms until all of those are processed, and the mariott wont open bookings until around the start of october.

I'd call the sheraton but i hear they want names of guests and i'm not sure who all are going to be able to go this far in advance.
