location change doesn't really deter as I thought it would, mainly cus of akibaexpo getting dropped and people wanting a good winter con

>>8748205
ask around m8
or just wait till the date gets closer

is this still a thing?
I saw it a few months ago and thought it was just a "hey you gotta respect and praise me cus muh cosplay cost". a personal favorite was some bro crossplayer that added his gym and supplement costs to it lIke he was asking for donations to keep his shit physique

Nothing wrong with partying, op.
smoking at cali cons is pretty easy when done outside or in a smoker room hotel with a rec card. last 2 cons I had a room at, we smoked a good amount of weed and my pals drank. long story short it was a blast.

cómic conventions seem to be the better for the elderly. it's like "hey I was a young comic fan when this and that series was starting", and that's what people want to hear at those conventions.
While at anime cons, the seniority thing just sounds like nostalgia faggetry "hue hue I watched all the original Dragon Ball as it came out, you fucking newbs".

this raises so many questions I don't even know where to begin

>>8706000

> felt I finally found the one
> even think about making next year's con the place to propose
> literally in love
> after dumb fights we break up 2 weeks prior to con
> week after I'm diagnosed with cancer in my liver
> don't tell her or anyone as is
> she's dating a new guy so quickly
> feelsbadman.jpg
> verge of suicide at that point
> day 1 of con
> she's serás and I'm walter
> have to be together for shoots
> can't even look at her without wanting to cry
> can see her new bf as her phones screen
> didn't even do that with me
> con is over and she keeps talking about the guy
> just leave without a word
> get home
> think about just putting a bullet into my head
> something didn't let me
> 2 years later and cancer free
> can't even touch walter or look at a seras

mikeys fallacy was saying there was 1 investor. it's more believable to say there were dozens of investors that 1, because no one in their right mind would finance an anime convention solely (it's not that profitable of a field). now entertaining the idea that Asia man was real, he'd be in contact and access to how Michael was spending money and could've instantly checked him and taken over, depending on contract details. hence the investor never existed.

hold up nigga let me ride my high and I'll come back to this capeesh

>>8706331
The money itself wasn't an indicator of anything. you can be incredibly financed and still be a fuck up, ya know. cons overall fall under the same structure as a music festival. you get the word out via social media and hype it up. now the difference was the delivery of akibaexpo (like it was gonna be massive and better and hype as fuck for a first year). no matter how high you think, you can't say shit like that as a new venue

>>8706330
shit then I read it wrong all this time lmfao hey that's like a legit happy mistake ya know when you think about it it's like the universe didn't want me to go or fall for that shit sorry I'm high as fuck right now senpai o

>>8706223
wouldn't say that necessarily. I majored in business and economics so I learned that th ese types of events are driven through social media. I noticed akibaexpo was very overly hyped and the promises of getting those types of guest and such seemed empty. what gave me the straight red was it being at anaheim convention center. no 1 year con, anime especially, can afford that one.

>>8706161
How so

>>8706099
I think ac gave panelists free badges, idk I was told that shit so I was like just fuck me up senpai lol

>>8706084
not sure what you are asking lol

>>8706055
at that point it was more of a "buyer beware" scenario. personally, I didn't buy a badge. I've dealt with OC based anime fans before and have 0 trust in them when it comes to anything remotely business related. from the beginning, this con seemed too much to be true. now I do say what pham did falls on more of an ethical issue than a legal one. I personally did apply for a terraformars panel an was accepted, told I'd have to purchase my own badge (this was around july-August) so it clicked something was up
