Figured a new thread would be relevant with the announcement A-kon just made. Thoughts?

>> No.9205116

It's almost three times closer to my house now, but I'd probably still get a hotel since it's the biggest con in the area. I was kinda looking forward to the water feature at the Anatole, but that's the only thing. I don't know anything about the convention center, but there's a lot of cool things over there.

Didn't they have a 5 year contract with the Anatole? I thought it had only been 4 years now or less.

>> No.9205191

GOOD. It had outgrown the Anatol before it even moved in. Maybe now there will be enough space.

I hated the Anatole. The fuckasses who kept trashing it ruined the place. We'll never know if it was A-Kon who left or if the hotel tore up the contract then told them to leave after last year. I'm betting it was the latter which motivated A-Kon to start talking to the city of Ft. Worth.

Either way I'm glad they're moving. Where ever they're putting the overnight events I'll know where not to stay at.

It sounds like you've never been Oni-Con. This a con who notoriously doesn't post jack shit. The other anon above is trying to tell you that you'll have to show up to get any info out of them.

You'll be lucky to find signup info as it can be like hide n go seek when at the convention. It might just be a mention on the paper schedule or it'll be a piece of paper on a wall pointing at a table. They do have a Cosplay Show there but they just don't say anything about it.

No akon is somewhat cheap considering the size. Most attendees just aren't used to major sized cons that use multiple hotels/locations for their programming. They would flip out if they ever attended something like AX or Dragon Con

Honestly this. It's one thing if A-kon raises the prices and has good programming. It's another if they raise the price and still bring shit list guests and nobodies for entertainment.

The difference between Missy and Old Spice Guy is that she openly announces herself as a guest at a convention she just paid a booth for. She isn't even listed as a guest in programming but goes around on social media saying so?? Conventions need to step up and give correct programming and guest information when cosplayers pull this shit.

Old Spice Guy is a pedophile who buys a badge and walks around taking pics of underage girls. He never announces himself as a guest though. That's when it's wrong for a convention to call out someone. In Old Spice Guy's case, he broke the rule and the community made a riot about it which forced SJ to make a statement about it.

Honestly, speaking as someone who has worked staff on a con for several years, it's probably not worth their time to "call her out". They get the money from her buying a vendor booth, and if her advertising herself as a guest when she isn't happens to bring in an additional traffic, well, that's more badges bought without the con itself having to pay her in any capacity. If she does happen to do anything that looks bad for the con, all it takes is a simple "she was never a guest and in no way represents us". Trying to kick up a fuss because some minor cosplayer has delusions of grandeur is more likely to result in a headache for the con staff than just letting her play pretend.

It takes two seconds for a con goer to look at the official guest list and see she's lying, and if a guest can't be bothered to do that, it's their own fault if they somehow let her convince them she's more important than she is.

>> No.9225754

>>9225749
And by "if a guest can't be bothered", I meant a con-goer. The con staff has more important misinformation to correct out there than who is and isn't an actual guest once they've released that information officially.

>> No.9225756

>>9225656
Why don't you call her out? If she says she's a guest but not on the guest list just call her out. Cons probably don't even know she's doing it, they're busy trying to handle actual programming and guests to notice a nobody posting on FB.

Dude got his badge pulled on the last day at SJ for repeatedly ignoring dresscode (not wearing a shirt) after being told multiple times to cover up when pictures weren't being taken.

Debating if I want to get a room or not since I live close enough, but I would suggest lookinga round downtown before choosing a hotel. We don't have a system like the DART but we still have a public transportation and uber and the like. There are several hotels outside of downtown that are ten times cheaper than the current con rates if you're not too set on staying next to the convention center.

Courtyard Marriott is 176 a night.
Holiday Inn is 158.
Towneplace Suites is 131.

Just look on sites like hotels.com to find the best rates.

Wait a second, you niggas are telling my old friend I knew since I was 8 years old has a history with CGL?

>"Anon, Hasani copied my friend's art style and used it to draw herself having sex with the Beatles"
>Confused and haven't really talked her since

Honestly her personality has gone to shit with her elitist attitude. She ruined cosplay for me since back then it was just nerds and dorks cosplaying for fun. Now instead of cosplayers getting excited for someone asking for their picture, its now instaslut asking kids with Canons of pictures of them and base their self worth on likes and follows. Sorry its people like her that make cosplay as a narcissistic competition.
Hasani is just like her fucking mother. Speaking of her mom, that woman told my mom "Your daughter is not allowed at my house since she got my girl into chinese cartoons"

So I haven't been to A-kon since 2013. I stopped going half because I didn't have the money and half because the con was quickly becoming pretty repetitive to me despite the venue change--there weren't many good panels, lines were probably the worst I've been in at any anime con ever, few interesting guests, etc. I mostly went to catch up with cosplay friends, most of whom I now see at other cons anyways. But lately I find myself missing A-kon: Has it changed since 2013? Is it better? Worse? The same?

Most importantly, would you all say it's worth going to this year?

Ok so whenever I have time I might search for more pictures of her younger besides her Hentlia one. What I can do is talk about what really created this annoying monster.
Mind you her mom as I mention before was an ex model and got fired once she got pregnant with Hasani and is pretty much a clone of her (they share the same birthday its that creepy).
Instead of drinking nail polish remover she tried to make the best out of a shitty situation by having her daughter. She wasn't so much a pagent mom but more of making her mini me
Her biological father is an older gentleman and acts in California
>pic related of him in Princess Diaries 2 (he appears at the very end pointing at coffee for 3 seconds)
Now the mom would remove sugar all over the house since Hasani has ADHD. Take this considering the the dad was pretty old having her is makes sense for her to develop mental disorders like bipolar, autism, and/or ADHD

http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/v21/n5/full/mp201570a.html

Back to the mother feeding into her disgusting behavior with all these mental disorders in her child, she REALLY love giving her lots of "self esteem" and would brag about her child to other moms.
>HOLLYWOOD IS CALLING MY BABY
>LOOK AT HER PRETTY ART
>MUH BABY IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Now they were upper middle class and would spoiler the living shit out of her only child. So naturally, her ego grew fast like a malignant cancer from her mother spoiling her, to her mental disorders, and making her crave attention.
I even remember once out of a burst of attention she'll be like.
>I'm gonna kill myself
>My mom and step dad might divorce and make me move
>I've been cutting
And cry crocodile tears while listening to MCR and Evanescence (I wish I was making this up)and wrote notes once to all her friends about us saying how much we mean to her when she leaves or dies.

Its from recently new research but theyre finding more and more that birth defects are usually from when the father is significantly older than the mother.
