Daily reminder to SHOWER DAILY!

Take a good sniff at yourself.
Since you naturally filter out your own body odor, take a good sniff at your tshirt, preferably your underarms.
If you can smell any odor at all, even slightly, people around you can smell it 10x more than you.
Also, don't attempt to cover it up with deoderant, now you smell like sweat and deoderant.
You don't have to use shampoo, just take a 5 minute once-over with a bar of soap, it'll keep you from smelling awful.

Yo, West Covina bro.

It takes about 50 minutes to get from the Covina Station Metrolink to LA Union Station. Here's this weekend's schedule, I found it on the Metrolink website.

As for pricing, I believe it's about 16 dollars for round trip, which is a little cheaper than parking and going through traffic but keep in mind you may need an Uber/Lyft to actually get to the convention center which can cost about 10 dollars more each day.

Good luck with your travel!

All cons have a lifespan, early days it's super cliquey and lame at same time because lame guests, as con gets popular better guests, better floor. Then it gets too crowded, too many normies, too many lines, but still great niche panels. <-Ax is between these two-->Then it gets taken over by corporate PRs, every other panel feels like a commercial, loses the hobby niche feel. <-- this is where comiccon is.
I haven't been to comiccon for years but I remember they didn't clear rooms, so if there was a meme panel (like Simpsons) the room would be camped out from 8am, which meant there were a bunch of panels where 80% of the people in the room didn't care about the panel, would talk over it amoumst themselves, etc.
Some of the booths at comiccon, you have to line up in the morning, just to get a ticket to come back and line up at another time to to shop. AX will be like that in a few years

Dumb question. So I'm super hyp for the im@s meetup tomorrow at 11 at site 2. But I looked at the map and can't determine if I have to get through the con entrance line to get there.

Could someone who has maybe been there lend advice to a fan?

Please tell me one of you are cosplaying Dangerous Zombie. My battery ran out and I was actually super excited and I missed my chance.
