I'll be there all 3 days, cosplaying Friday/Saturday
I have no idea what panels will be good, so somebody should give me suggestions.
I hope I can find a good party to go to, even though I'll be with my friends dad.

Serena from Pokémon XY on Friday, and Homura on Saturday and Sunday
> Are you still working on cosplay?
I still need to fix my Homura wig, work on my Serena hat, and work on my Mega Ring.
> What panels are you attending?
Not sure which ones there are. I want to go to the Pokémon panel though!
> To masquerade or not to masquerade?
I don't plan on it. I never have gone to the masquerade before.
> What are you looking forward to most?
Hanging out with my girlfriend. I haven't seen her since Megacon.

> What are you cosplaying as?
Rei (NGE) on Friday, Ken Amada (P3) on Saturday, and either Minato (P3) or Naoto (P4) on Sunday.
> Are you still working on cosplay?
Just need to finish sewing up Rei and buying the socks for her and Ken. Need to re-style my wigs a bit, but I should be ready.
> What panels are you attending?
I don't know, tbh I hardly ever attend panels. If I happen to see something that catches my eye i'll go for it.
> To masquerade or not to masquerade?
I've never attended the masquerade and don't plan to this year, so no.
> What are you looking forward to most?
Persona group that i've been planning for practically 2 years with friends. Seeing some old friends, as well as new ones I made at Supercon. ALSO, praying for there to be jojo merch. I hardly saw any at the last con I went to and I was severely disappointed.
> Tales from last year?
Nothing too interesting, but one of my favorite parts of last year was the trip to tacobus (go to it if you haven't already!). Also, I highly recommend trying a smoothie from the convention center, they're delicious as fuck.

> Are you still working on cosplay?
yep. Slacked off way too much this year. Still need to finish my jacket and horn for Demi-fiend, and I have to style my wigs.
> What panels are you attending?
I jotted down a few that sounded interesting, but I'm not sure how many I'm actually going to stick around for. May just peek in on some of them and see if anything's really worth sitting around for.
> To masquerade or not to masquerade?
Never attended, don't really plan to.
> What are you looking forward to most?
A friend that moved away a while ago may be attending, so I'm excited that I might be able to see her again!
> Tales from last year?
Nothing really exciting happened to me last year. The Pokemon gathering on Sunday was a lot of fun though, I enjoyed it.

This is the only con I go to each year, so I'm really excited about getting out there and maybe making a few friends.

>> No.7665524

> What are you cosplaying as?
Persona 3 FeMC on Friday, Raidou Kuzunoha XIV on Saturday, Ethan/Hibiki/Gold/whatever the kid's name is on Sunday.
> Are you still working on cosplay?
Yeah... Kind of put it off until last second because I still had time, and now there's only three days left. It's mostly styling wigs and finishing Raidou's sword and tube holster, thankfully.
> What panels are you attending?
Not too sure. I went through panels with my sister and nothing really jumped out at us, so we're just attending Pokemon panels and Rhythm City Chronicles. We never got to see the latter before because I got sick and we had to leave early the first year, and the second... I honestly can't remember why we didn't check it out. I think the Pokemon photoshoot might have been at the same time? Something like that, maybe.
> To masquerade or not to masquerade?
Never went before; don't plan on it.
> What are you looking forward to most?
Spending time with family, possibility of seeing a friend that moved away, and maybe making more friends! I'm just hoping I make some SMT fans happy.
> Tales from last year?
I don't think anything too interesting happened to me last year! The mock Pokemon battles while waiting for the photoshoot were really fun to watch, though.

Nope.

Hopefully getting drunk and buying more dumb shit. Maybe I'll actually get to see more shows and panels instead of being dragged between the artist alley and the dealer's room like last year.

Tampafag here. 8AM is fine for the convention parking. Any later and you risk having to use the city lots which then forces you to do a lot of walking in rain/oppressive sunlight.

They officially now have a no alcohol ban. Hasn't stopped me before, grape juice and water bottles here I go.
The vendor room moved to where the raves used to be in prior years on the 2nd floor.

>so many new animu I never seen.
>I feel pretty old, I've been going to metro since 05'. 9 years later, I'm old.

>Half assed my costume, wish I didn't... no time, work and I haven't won over the sewing machine so mostly store bought. oh well, people recognized me so that makes me happy.

>I personally am going to get a bit fucked up before the rave starts, I need to be a bit drunk way to much social pressure.

Nah, 21 is perfectly alright. I'm just a year older, about to turn 23.

Essentially, it's like so--
Bunch of rave music, some of it is shitty, some of it is okay-- shadowfax had some pretty awesome stuff, but he's never going to be w/ metro again.. so who knows how shitty this rave will be.

You hop around, let your body move and then find a pretty person, you go and dance with them and that's it, everyones nice, friendly, jump around and dance and try to make a friend-- and make it all night.

then past midnight the hotel parties start, the castle has an event too--- (that's in ybor, about 10 mins away) and from there on, if you're invited to someones room it's going to be a fun night.

But, yeah teens are the major concern for sure. Liability, that cute girl that danced upon you when it was blackout? Fuck, she looks 16-- what to do?

If anything, at metro especially if it's under 18 don't do anything naughty naughty. Roy went down for having fun with a 16yr old he met at the con, and there have been many other close arrests.

>So yeah, shits not so cash.

tl;dr Rave: EDM music that's blasted loudly, maybe a few kandi dancers, lights go out, strobe lights on, you can easily meet people, talk, make your body feel good and such.

>it's just better to do it when fucked up.
>tons of fun stories I've witnessed upon past metro's when people try to sneak in alcohol or party drugs. Don't do it, do it before and walk in normally--and then if you're a bit fucked up blame it on being exhausted or anxious.

Personally I was incredibly impressed by the dude in the rather large (warhammer? not familiar with the source material i'm anime trash) body armor suit, but ive seen him around a LOT at cons with pretty much the same shit, different con. He's sort of a one-trick pony of cosplay, but that doesn't change that i'm surprised he didn't win with that entire rig (which I saw pulled apart at the con, and was pretty intricate). But who knows, sometimes the cosplays that are the biggest can be the sloppiest and still look good, while the smaller cosplays can have better technique like we saw today.

I'd probably just act like any anon would in meatspace: nervous and fidgety as fuck, with a side dish of spaghetti spilling out of my pockets. Actually, I need to find some rubber spaghetti noodles.

As for being recognized, I went as the eighth doctor (from the short that aired before the 50th) on saturday. I think maybe... five people recognized me? Two-three of them were my friends, who knew who I was going as anyway.

I still can't find a single picture of me though, which may actually be a good thing, because I screwed up a couple details. Like some colors were off, and the belt. I forgot the guy had a visible belt.

By the time the next con rolls around, the whole "4chan vs tumblr" thing will likely be a faded memory, so walking around with a big folder labeled "tumblr triggers" or something would just get confused looks.

I still like the idea of having rubber spaghetti in my pocket though, maybe have a couple rubber meatballs too.

I saw the warhammer and thought it was cool from like, 20 feet away, but when I got up close it was just sloppy. There was way cleaner that would have won even before him, like the two Mass Effect dudes. Just because your costume is big doesn't mean it's good.

Judge's awards are usually the judges' favorites and are picked based purely on elements each judge likes.

Kingdom Hearts showed a mastery different skills like ultra clean props, silicone sculpting+casting+molding, sewing, wig styling, AND *clean* 3D-printing. Costumes like the floofy dress, knight of solaria, warhammer, etc didn't win BiS because they were one-trick ponies. You need to show true skill and mastery on a multitude of levels to beat out everyone at BiS, and Kingdom Hearts did just that.

>>7682906
>Also on the Facebook group there is a thread bitching about how some of the contestants who placed used a 3D printer. What are /cgl's thoughts?

I agree with >>7683155. There was more than one entry that had 3D printing but a lot of it just wasn't up to par, so if people think that having fancy tools gets you an award, you're wrong. You need to know what you're doing and will be judged even harder because striations show sloppy finishing.

I can't believe the prizes they gave out this year though. What is MetroCon thinking? My friend won an award and all they got was a couple of old ass manga books. That's pretty cheap and shitty from the biggest convention in florida.

FWIW the only part of the BiS winners' props that was 3d printed was a little charm on one of the keyblades. It was maybe 3"X2".
The costumers said that their keyblades were hand-shaped from wood and fillers.

Oh I totally agree. I was talking to one of the judges after [non shiny Sailor Mars] because she was asking what we thought of the judging. We then discussed how much of a bummer it is when things look super rad from far away and then look terrible up close because you can see the shoddy craftmanship.

Also they linked their progress pics on one of the Metrocon pages which really sealed that the judges made the right choice.

Metrocon was great for me. The only thing I was really disappointed by was that I wasn't able to get Mcglynn and Epcar's autograph on Sunday because they closed down early. Though, I was able to get a picture with Epcar, so I'm ok there.

What annoyed me the worst was Hynden Walch and her "no pictures" policy. Like, it wouldn't have annoyed me as much as it did, but when she was doing panels with other people, they asked people not take pictures mainly because she was there. When I asked the people working there why no pictures with Walch, I usually got either she was "camera shy" or she had a "contract" and wasn't aloud to have pictures taken of. The only panel they didn't make a fuss about this of was at the VA Farewell panel, but fucking hell, her ass bolted the moment it was done.

Does anyone know what her deal is? I mean, I can look up pictures of her and see what she looks like, she's done interviews before. If she's so anal about having pictures taken of her, she shouldn't be going to things like this in the first place.
