I actually felt a little hyped in line too. Maybe cause my power level is always at like 10/9000 at any time of the year.

Don't linger too long around a group of friends that are tight knit. They arent usually looking for someone to tag along since they are probably all rooming together and dont want strangers following them up to the hotel

Look for other attendees hanging around by themselves.

Offer to help if you see someone who needs it. Whether it be cosplay repair, got lost, need information, etc etc.

What is this weird fear of Ubers? Are you not from a big city?

Look, Uber is super safe, espcially in Los Angeles. These drivers are doing for a living, and uber has a VERY strict rating system. All these people want to do is get you from point A to point B with as quickly as they can, with as little issues as possible. There's not guarantee that just because you take a taxi, the driver is not an ax murder. Even more so, because Taxi's are not blackboxed, Uber's are. I LITERALLY take an Uber every day to work, twice a day, and then a bunch on the weekends to meet up with people/go hang out around LA.

Uber's are just cars. Can you but your luggage into your car? Great. Then you'll be fine. The app even lets you call the driver and you can just straight up ask them, "Yo, I got two big ass suitcases. Can they fit?" Fuck, nicest Uber driver I ever had even helped me lug my ten moving boxes up a stupid muddy hill. I didn't even ask him, he offered.

I hope I helped you not fear the Uber. If it wasn't for them, I would be screwed.

I hate idols.

[Anonymous No.9539870]

>>9539862
Honest question, what do non-dykes stand to gain from liking idolshit?

[Anonymous No.9539871]

>>9539865
I just don't understand how some people get so worked up about idols and make it their whole life, fawning over some girl group engineered by a talent agency for the sole purpose of milking otakus.

If you're alone and trying to make AX more enjoyable come to the marriott floor 17. Come drink with me. Bring extra boozes would be nice.

Who needs beer? Just take like 4 shots of vodka and chase it with something. Me personally, though, I love drinking me some angry orchard or redds.

It seems like other cons don't have nearly as many "hey come drink with me" posters as AX.
Also I only recently started going to cons this year.

LA in general is just a more open to hanging with strangers sort of place. We have the worst the wold has to offer, how bad can anyone else be you know?
