It's officially a month until San Japan!

What are your cosplay plans? What guests are you excited for? Meetups? Pre-con drama?

I'll be alternating between being dressed as Ryuko and being in regular clothes depending on my mood.
But everything else that's not cosplay is ready. This is the first time it's been like this and I've never felt more relaxed at this point before a convention.

At first I was going to do Visas, but damn, I could not deny my heart the chance to be Revan if I was going to drop all the money on a KOTOR cosplay. Revan is literally my neo Jesus. I am so excited about this costume. Everything is coming together much better than I expected.I'm going to be manning a table, so I won't be able to wear the mask the whole time, so I'm probably going to do Sith makeup, with the grey face and veins and yellow eyes and all that, and then wear the mask when I get breaks to walk around and do my thing.

>> No.7625639

I'm splitting myself between cosplay and lolita. I'm going to the tea party on Friday and planning a coord for that...in fact I should probably get back on that.

I'm doing the cosplay show on Saturday so most of my day is taken. I'm not overly optimistic about it this year but I'm doing it anyway because dat stage.

Other than that I'm not sure, I need to pick out another costume to bring besides the one for the show.

this is the first year they've really done anything lolita. In past years the Austin com ran a few panels but last year I don't think they had anything at all.

>Jerry army throws a shitfit it isn't good enough, Jerry wants the con to continue to use his video but with his watermark
>whole thing basically dies because he has no more fule for his fire

It should be noted this guy used protected music in his vid without crediting the artist, thus doing exactly what he was claiming the con did. He goes by cosplay with me and he looks like a creepy 70s porn star.

Hi yeah, what do you want from me?

I know I have bad stuff to say,not the only one. Dont mean to feed the drama, but look, I don't want to keep being bitter, that spawned bitterness with people I cared for. Been trying to move on, let go and find myself anew. I will regret alot of my actions and how things ended up, I was backstabbed, fucked over, bullied, had to file police reports on people and they are still mad.etc etc I still did a kickass job and helped everyone I could, tried my best to be a good friend, my personal problems effected alot of that. That was then, now, I am doing good. Got help for some problems I had, got a g/f, got a motorcycle, got a job prospect, selling off stuff and trying to pay off my student loans, take care of bills etc. you know, be an adult. I apologize for hurting my friends and hope for them nothing but the best and wish that things could be cool again, but alas, I fucked up too bad with too many people. There is no working things out with people that don't want to work things out, and isn't worth much more of my worrying.

tl;dr i am trying to fuck off, stop fucking with me, don't be like me but don't let them fuck with you, have fun and if you want a friend I am not that hard to find apparently.

they stopped running it a few years ago in favor of the "live action" contest. Basically this chick threw a bitch fit when she didn't win an award for her Dr. Who costume in the cosplay contest so now she runs a live action contest to make herself feel better. I wish they would stop running it too, why not just run a regular hall contest with a live action award? They claim there is no interest in hall which is why they switched but why have such an oddly specific contest?

This post is so filled with misinformation, I don't know whether I should laugh or cry. Seb is this you or your fat girlfriend? Still bitter that neither Kitty or Blitz would date you despite how "nice" you were to them, Seb? Purity, are you still angry that your precious animu cons are no longer pure, despite your own hypocritical obsession with ponies?
For outsiders:
Darthseb used to be friends with each of the duo who now host the live action contest, albeit separately, but Blitz distanced herself from him when he wouldn't stop asking her out. He stopped talking to Kitty when he realized that she would never put out for him either. Has proceeded to hate their guts and bad mouth them both behind their backs, and passive aggressively to their faces, for years. Anyways, what this post is insinuating is non-sensical. Even if Jet and Blitz were screwing around when she was 15, which I find highly dubious considering how many 15 year olds I've seen fling themselves at Texas Jet, and how good he is at deflecting them, she is a judge for the live action contest, and has no sway over anything on the main stage. You could see those two carrying water to cosplayers and lining them up and stuff like that during the contest. They have nothing to do with the judging process. So, even if Jet had fucked Blitz, harebrained as that is, she wouldn't be able to hold a grudge against them in the judging process, because she had nothing to do with it. And, as previously mentioned, they are friends, and they gave one of the sisters of battle an award in their own contest. Then... Dezzy?! What the fuck does she have to do with any of this? We all know she is an attention grubbing two faced bitch who utilizes her honey pot to get what she wants, but she has nothing to do with the Warhammer trio. Like at all. That's Jet, that forum user HappyGoldfish, and her sister. What the fuck does Dez have to do with that?

Cosplay will probably be Severus Snape and Darkseid. I considered Midna but I'm running panels and she's difficult to wear while carrying around and setting up shit.

Speaking of which, doing three panels:
The Psychology of Nerdery - Psych 101 lesson focused on how fucked up nerds are
Sketching the Human Form: Comic to Chibi - Basically a hardcore drawing lesson teaching proportion and anatomy in different styles
Pokemon Movie Riff - Did a live-riff of Queen of the Damned last year and it was so fun... I hope to have a preview of what to expect before the con because I'm competing with the cosplay show this year. But I'll be in a bigger room this year.

You only have to go to one of the 3 pre-judging slots and then the contestant line up. It is a time commitment for sure, I didn't get to enter last year but in the previous years I've been in the contest for 6+ hours.

This year is shaping up to be a mixed bag. They have that amazing stage but none of the judges look very impressive or qualified. Of course if you're just entering for fun that probably doesn't matter much to you. Contestants will probably get stuck in a room or cramped in a hallway because of the stage.

dealers are going to be pissed at SJ though. A bigger DR with shit tier dealers means nothing.

Anime Matsuri does listen to feedback, over the years they've made several decisions that directly correlated to attendee feedback, probably most notably their first move out of the woodlands because of the wristband policy.

San Japan has some shitty people on staff too, both cons have their own faults the only difference is that san Japan has managed to stave off having a truly bad year yet. With their rapid growth one is probably just around the corner, they still run a lot of things like a much smaller con.

san japan last year was a blast for me, the dealres room and artist alley were absolutely great, there were a loooot of panels to choose from and they always had something to do
completely unlike AM
this year they were super disorganized, not even the volunteers knew where anything was, the jfashion show was like 2 hours delayed, the system to get into rooms was hella stupid
from my experience so far, san japan is funner/has better panels, and AM has better guests (if youre into lolita that is)

Or are you bitching about the press pass agreement, which is pretty much standard for all conventions? Why should a con give you a free three day pass with front row access to major events and then not be paid back? If you don't want the con to use your work then buy a badge.

I can only speak about my experience but basically the attendees are pretty nice. At least much more polite than at other cons I have volunteered for.

There are some really great staff people too. And many of the general volunteers have made things pleasant. However, I have to agree with the assessment that there are some unprofessional people in top staff spots. Questionable decisions have been made, and many problems get swept under the rug. And when a problem can't be swept under the rug, they try to make an emergency fix to placate the person(s) enough so the public will think everything is great and move on. A lot of upper staff will treat other staff members like dirt. Some have left because they got tired of it. Others stay on because they are too afraid to stand up for themselves and keep hanging on because their volunteers are friends, or they want the con to succeed because they like making fellow nerds happy.

The general public, and hell even volunteers, don't always get to see what goes on backstage. It's very far from sparkles and rainbows. So I'm not surprised people will whiteknight the con. They simply don't know.

I'm not going to tell you to not go to the con. You should go if it makes you happy and you know you'll have fun.

I've never been to a con before but I was considering going to this one. I have never cosplayed so would that make me out of place and hinder the experience? What are some fun things to do there and what are your experiences?

I've always wanted to cosplay, I can't make a costume this year but I could probably do it next year (I was thinking about dressing up as an Aquabat since its simple and easy to make and it would be fun running around in character) should I wait until then to go to a con or should I check it out beforehand to see if I would like it?

However I finally buckled down and decided to fuck it I'll do my thing and then do theirs. Wish me luck cgl!

Until proof appears.
The lack of it proves we're right.

Hahaha white knights getting mad. You really want me to put out myself so you can report me to Dave for brownie points. Lol. Sorry I spilled the beans that you are a buncha dramatic bitches starting trouble for people and trying to blame them for it. Maybe if you didnt flunk out of police academy you could be a cop instead of play one online.

Im >>7670139 and like I said, I love some juicy drama but all we have is what youve said with no evidence otherwise. There is nothing to it. Give us something to see and we might be inclined to believe all your idiotic claims.

Absense if evidence is not evidence of absence. Nice try though. Alot of us are tired of all of this. Most the lower level people dont know shit about shit. Sorry you arent high up enough to get emails.

Well youre high up enough to have gotten it right? Show it to us.

Yeah. Not going to expose myself. These people are vindictive. If they see I used hotmail, they'll look at every address with hotmail and pick somebody out to they think it's most likely to be. You just want to have sonething to show to dave and cry so you can be told poor baby, its all okay now, I wint let the bad bad oeiple say anything mean ever again.

I have nothing to do with that faggot Dave you pussy. And youve just said you use hotmail, why then cant you let us see it now? And even if its not hotmail and thats just an example you could very very easily blank out any parts that have to do with your private information. Now youre just grasping at anything you can because you dont have anything to begin with.

No, I like denying you, you are giving me alot of fun toying with you. As I know who you are, what you do, but here you haven't a clue. I got my own spot in the con and nothing to worry about.
