>Why contain it?

Because the only areas anyone wants to be in are too fucking crowded. If people went to Katsucon to go to panels, Katsu could rent more panel space (in the Gaylord and surrounding hotels) to accommodate them. But people to go Katsu to cosplay, and the gazebo + lobby + atrium levels where cosplayers want to hang out are already oversaturated. In light of the fact that so many cosplayers attend, Katsucon can't scale up any further.

From what I understand, MGM doesn’t let in cosplayers. They’d probably never make a deal with Katsucon considering the clientele they cater to versus the attendees of Katsucon.

How would that even work? Seats at MGM's theater costs like $150-$350 depending on the act. If Katsu booked some acts for the theater and included the cost with the badge price, badge prices would go up massively. If they made it so that you have to pay seperately, then you're shelling out a few extra hundred dollars to see an act you could have seen for free at the Gaylord. You literally can't win either way.

The meet was crazy. x.x No one expected that kind of turnout. I think it was around over 200 people, iirc?

I feel it's largely due to a lot coming out at once, (Extra: Last Encore, Apocrypha, Heaven's Feel, etc.) with Grand Order being the biggest basis for it. People are pulling out their old cosplays in addition to new ones. There was a really good variety of characters overall with some spicy choices I didn't expect to see. Good stuff, but absolutely insane in a small space.

Long story, I have taken so many photos and videos but I never have the time to post them. It would take me at least one year to upload and organize all the videos and photos I've taken into one central database, cloud or whatever.

Worse, 4chan's post speed changes through out the years makes my image upload speed slower. In the past, I could post image after images manually, at most 5 images per minute. Now you can post only one image or even one text post per minute.

This is compounded by the fact that I have to support my parents financially with my own income for the past three years. It seems I never have the time, money, or energy to do what I want.

I really want to make movies out of my footage, as a documentary of sorts of each year I attend these conventions. But that takes time, money, and energy, all three I've been lacking for years now.
