guh, why do people have to be so dumb ><
and I'll be staying with crickey and neko. whatever their plans end up being. probably involving getting a room right at the hotel.
are you calling me dumb?
-
I'm pretty sure she is referring to the people doing stupid stuff at conventions.
-
are you calling me dumb?
CU is too sweet to do that. LOL
Neko and Pickard got a hotel room. I believe you are going to stay with them. The boys are taking over the other room Pickard reserved. Jason and I are gonna sleep here at the apt and take the DART to the motel. Party with everyone and hang out. I'll actually have spending money this year, so I hope to add to my Nami collection. Then we'll come back here and I'll get to spend some time with him. CU I took Monday off too. I might not be able to get the Friday off though. Here's hoping for a new job by then. Hopefully I'll be able to get my secret cosplay done. I'm also just gonna by my Niomi costume. I don't want to be too big of a pain for Charli.
-
ok i feel better i missed something… i guess lol
-
all this hotel talk has me excited for going to A-Kon xD I wonder if I'll see anyone this year… last year was still a mystery I swear they weren't really there ... xDD
And this year... I"m walking around the dealers room with shoes I can WALK IN n___n and everywhere else... no Drake this year but I plan to have him later on with weapons I'm hoping u I even got new BOOTS FOR HIM EEEEE
didn't work at all on the Admiral coats today x_x; I'd like to slap myself. I'm SO CLOSE and have SO MUCH still left to do Dx
-
I'll be going to Akon again this year :x Than going to E3 than to AX. I'll be pretty busy this Summer lol Don't know If I am cosplaying tho D:
-
I'd be more excited about the Akon hotel if it weren't soo expensive and shitty xD 160 bucks a night and you don't even get a microwave. Akon, I am disappoint.
-
@ help: I don't know. were you one of the people throwing shit into the pool and wrecked it? raises eyebrow lol
@ arei: I'm bringing "2" maggey cosplays! her cop outfit, and her new one from AAI.
I'm also trying to get my adrian andews cosplay done, but I fail with hair/wigs, and charli does not, so i want her to do my wig, but I don't know if she will have time. I could try and find someone up here, but then it might be a chore to bring a styled wig down on the plane. we'll see
@ crickey. oh good. you guys got plans going. I'm not inconvenienceing anyone, right? how many people in the room? do I know any of them? How come you and zor are not staying in a room? can't afford it? Well, you'll save a few bucks at least.
and ooh. secret cosplay. I hope it's something other than kamen riders, but I have a feeling I'm wrong. lol
we'll have to chat online so you can catch me up.
when's this phoenix wright photoshoot. I'll have to attend that. and i hear charli was gonna get a phoenix wright skating group. I'd like to do that. I don't think I've skated since I was in grade 3. (i'm a weird canadian. dun like skating and hockey)
it's gonna be so hard to decide which maggie to dress and when. I better wear some shorts undreneath my skirt if i wear that cosplay skating. (might slip and give a free show) lol actually, the AAI costume would be warmer for the rink.
getting so excited
and the weekend before, Toronto has their big convention, Anime North. I'm bringing AAI maggey and gonna show up at the photoshoot there. just going on the Saterday though, since my friends didn't get an art table.
-
no i never throw anything in the pool lol…..
i thought you called me dumb because i was the post above yours...
-
no, your cool. <333
-
sweet….. i hope i can pull some money out of my ass to get the fabric for franky....
am just happy that blackbeard is my easy one...

We still don't know if Jacque (Crimsondreamer on here) and her husband will be staying with us, I'm sure Pickard won't mind Lisa staying with us, or at least, he better not XD So as it stands, we'd have like 5 staying in that room which will be totally fine.
We're trying to see if we can get one of the boys to take that second room under their name, Pickard doesn't want the second one under his name (heard too many Oni con stories….) So we're going to get MJ to put it in his name so it will be theirs. We just took the initiative, as per my request, to reserve two rooms since they were already going really fast. Here's hoping they'll be joined together so we can go from one to the other at anytime.

i need a room…..................
-
I thought you said you had one O_o?
-
not to Akon…..........

when's this phoenix wright photoshoot. I'll have to attend that. and i hear charli was gonna get a phoenix wright skating group. I'd like to do that. I don't think I've skated since I was in grade 3. (i'm a weird canadian. dun like skating and hockey)
The PW shoot will be Friday at 2 PM in the cosplay press room (It's on the 2nd floor of the hotel, not the convention center).
I'll probably be there as Ema Skye, unless I can fix Trucy's dress in time.
-
so what other cons are you guys going on after this?
-
For me personally, probably nothing until AFest. Then after that I may go to Izumicon and Yulecon.
-
am getting ready for free con this weekend.
-
after A-Kon I'm most likely going to go to Tokyo in Tulsa, OK for only one day, Fri or Sat. Then after that my sis and I will be going to Otakon, only one day, Saturday. You guys who get to go to SO MANY CONS who actually get burnt out and are like 'wow this con was boring' don't know how lucky you have it when you can go MORE than one day to all conventions in your area/state. I'm an envious.
After that… probably NOTHING. Though we are planning to try to visit friends in Houston maybe in November? then ... next year...
ANIME EXPO. This is the plan u
-
You appreciate cons when you don't go to that many. When you're going to so many, especially a lot of them that aren't that great, it's very easy to get burned out on them. It's just how things are. Thats why I'm trying to throw the out of state cons into the mix, see some fresh faces/cosplay and have new experiences.
-
I completely disagree. Every con I've been to, even A-Kon… which I've been to SEVERAL TIMES doesn't get old if you make your own fun.
However, I do agree about out of state cons because sometimes I do get tired of seeing the same assfaces that I dislike very much at all the cons I go to because they're the only cons they go to.
That's why Otakon was MAGICAL u I'm thinkig that being there more than one day would ruin the magic... xD I wouldn't want to ge bored at such an amazing convention though we pretty much were there 12 hours or more one day and we didn't even see everything xD
-
Bad conventions exist, and so do boring ones. Though a convention may be boring, that doesn't mean you can't have fun with friends or make your own fun. When panels are held in an actual hotel room with a non-existent schedule list, that doesn't sound like a well-planned convention.
Still, making your own fun is pretty easy when you have someone to make fun with. I'm sure if I went to a boring convention by myself, it would be much worse.
-
well keep in mind we are going to show off my friends art work so we will be at artist Allys and panels and such.
I believe i will get burnt out but for the long run i think it will be worth it…
-
my sis and I make our own fun by taking crack pictures of random shit in cosplay. Why even cosplay at all if you can't take the hilarious pictures that you're like 'OMG do this!!! OMG DO THAT!! you two… do that!!!' sure. Not in character, but it's what I find fun. It's not like I'd post that stuff and be like 'this is the best ever worship it.' when it's clearly crack and OOC and retarded.
There's a picture floating around somewhere I always thought was funny. Youshi was Shanks and I was Yasopp and we had Daifuku shoved in our mouths... we looked RETARDED but I LOVE that pic ;__; I could think of a lot more... xD but that's just a good example.
-
well yea in any con you have to make your own fun.. even at bigger cons i have went too.. there are boring time when there is nothing to do.. i take that time and find something fun to do…
photos some randoms games...etc..
-
So my Gazille [Fairy Tail] cosplay is basically 100% done. I'm going to Anime St. Louis in 8 days where I'll unveil him at full, but here are all the finished pieces (I just finished the gloves, and the boots are halfway done, so i'm still pretty happy about that~):
! Facial studs
! Full costume
! Close up
! Gloves (on table then on hands)
! Half-finished boots (yes, that's real metal)
This has been a very long journey but I'm glad I'm nearing the finish line. Again, in a little over a week you'll see all those pieces together for the 100% cosplay (which includes the feathers and tattoo).
-
WOW iMustang __ That looks fucking fantastic! I'm jealous I don't get to see your amazing FT cosplay in person, so make sure ot take lots and lots of pics!!!!
I dunno if it's even more cons that I want to go to. I just like visiting my friends and traveling, dressing up and taking pics. I found last Akon to be fun sometimes, but the MOST fun I had was with my friends up in the hotel room, or down in the lobby at like 4 am in the morning. None of it really had to do with the con itself, even though we were dressed up in cosplay. I'd like to go to Houston JUST to check everything out, go here, go there, do this, do that, and when you go to a con you don't get to go anywhere BUT the con xD
Don't misinterpret what I mean, I'm saying I love cons, but I love hanging out with my friends at random too.
So even if we don't go to any cons for the rest of the year after Otakon, I'll be content just visiting my friends and having a blast for a weekend away from this shithole. I enjoyed just getting out of the house xD
-
guh, friday at 2. well i know charli won't be there cause of work. I'll have to see what's going on with everybody else when I get there, so I can't promise I'll be there, but I'l try.
-
I completely disagree. Every con I've been to, even A-Kon… which I've been to SEVERAL TIMES doesn't get old if you make your own fun.

Yeah this is what is ruining the fun for me most of the time, I'm really tired of seeing the same assfaces.
One certain assface took away a friend of mine that I really enjoyed going to conventions with, and last AFest with no one to hang out with in a lot of the downtime, i got pretty bored. And it was pretty much only Hetalia all friggen weekend.
Sometimes you have conventions where you're able to turn it into a lot of fun, sometimes it just doesn't happen. All the cons I went to last year, minus some parts of Afest and Yulecon, were like this. It was just blah. It was so magical the year (and years at A-Kon before) before, but then last year it was same-old, same-old. And when pretty much all the people you hang out with are older and their idea of late-night fun is to drink and leave you behind, it gets pretty dull.
I'm excited for Acen in the fact that we don't know anyone there, and it makes it an adventure almost, just like conventions used to be. Lets you REALLY get to wander around the convention, and the best part, meet new people. (PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY INTO ONE PIECE PFFFF XD).
It's always fun hanging out with your friends, but sometimes, like almost all of last year, you fall into ruts with your friends sometimes. Not saying that they're not completely fun to be around and that it's not a pleasure being with them… Well in my case, I have so many fandoms I'm hardcore into right now that my friends aren't, and I have no one to really share them with. It's always more fun with a group of friends or just one friend you can nerd out with over cosplay and the series you're interested in.
And honestly, you may think being able to go to conventions a lot, even if they are the same local ones, is amazing, but it's not when you don't have enough money to get through one day. I never do. Even when I don't raid the dealer's room I'm still broke after a day or two. Then saturday night everyone always wants to go out to eat at a nice restaurant and all you have are a couple of quarters in your pocket, if that.
But that's bad for me because I am so friggen sick when I don't eat, and that makes me more miserable.
-
well what we should do is at cons have a am broke bored and tire meet… where people can just sit down talk hang out pull some money together for food and such...
-
WOW iMustang __ That looks fucking fantastic! I'm jealous I don't get to see your amazing FT cosplay in person, so make sure ot take lots and lots of pics!!!!
Thank you very much!!! We'll have a little photoshoot with a Natsu and Lucy too, so I'll have plenty of pics~
-
that FT cosplay is KICK ASS I wish I knew how you styled the wig u it's AMAZING iMustang!
bought a new Luffy wig and sandals I think I can bare to walk in. No offense to you sandal wearers but sandals are SO UNCOMFORTABLE I hope I got ones that will work T__T
also… I still could use some advice on a long white wig I should get to mod up for Inazuma? I'm not sure where to start with the wig T__T
-
I shouldn't really wear sandals, but I love them XD Can't wear flip flops though, I don't see how those are comfortable >__> My mom got some sort of flip flop thing from sketchers that's super comfy though **
well what we should do is at cons have a am broke bored and tire meet… where people can just sit down talk hang out pull some money together for food and such...
I concur.
We've had stuff like this before and it usually involved getting pizza.. I feel bad because I usually only can dig up like $2 out of my purse TT_TT

He bought the wig.
@Arei: I am planning on bringing a rice cooker and rice with me to ACen. So just come bug me to make you some rice. XD

also i will have allot of food for the cons am a big guy and i like my food... and am not talking about rice and ramen...this man needs meat!
-
This woman needs a lot of meat >__> Just protein period, but at Yulecon even protein bars weren't curbing my hunger like they usually do >_< I want to eat well, but not TOO well before Acen because if I go from eating super well to junk I'm gonna be sick all weekend DX I'm sure we'll have IHOP like 10 times that weekend.
-
so… SO CLOSE TO DONE with the admiral coats Dx UGH! SO CLOSE... I wanna get something else done tonight T_T I wanna get Inazuma started, the Mayor started... SOMETHING!!! I still need the fur for Inazuma >__< and for Croc and material for Croc but the thing I'm worried most about is Inazumas wig... don't guess I'm gonna get any advice for the base so I'm gonna go look to ebay or cosworx... my problem is that I do NOT want a skin top D: OR Bangs =_=

yea tell me about it.. i really want to finsh my franky..am almost done with the top half and the weapons left but am so low on money now and i have a con in two days…
-
how do you cook this stuff at a hotel? you get a room with a kitchen or something?
-
no i bring my own hot plate and cook it ether in the room or in my car with a adapter also allot of hotels has BBQ areas,.
-
@Arei: lol well I can't really do most meats. But I plan on bringing canned chicken. You know like tuna…but only chicken. Plus nuts and stuff. So it won't be just plain rice. Plus even if that doesn't feel you up, you probably won't need to buy as much food later.
@ Captain: The rice cooker just plugs into a standard outlet. So that is easy to bring with and cook things in. I want to get a hot plate, so I can bring a pot and cook soups or something. But Really the rice cooker is more than enough.
-
i know about rice cookers :P i was asking about the steaks. :D
Those are both great ideas though. mayhaps I'll do that, if my roomies like the idea. you can find rice cookers, and hot plates for $20. at least you can in Canada, and we tend to be more expensive. $20 to save on take-out all weekend.
lol though, I dun know. I dun wanna give people like the "pool idiots" ideas like this. they might go and burn down the hotel.
-
maybe it's because I like to waste money but when I go to a con… one of the perks of going out of town is eating out u pizza...chinese... anything that's near the con that will deliver is always more fun to me xDDD though one year we were thinking of bringing a microwave... I can't BELIEVE the A-Kon hotels cost $160+ a night... and not ONE FUCKING microwave. Complete rip-off that they know us out of towners will have to deal with =___=
got all the cuffs done on the admirals coats u pauldrons... and buttons sew on will be all that's left EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE so EXCITED then SOMETHING will be DONE!!!!!
EDIT
Good thing I bought my Luffy sandals D: they said 'could be 3 weeks before they get there' SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT Dx that's calling it CLOSE! Hope the wig doesn't take that long Dx I don't want to worry about it too! NOW MUST FIND INAZUMA WIG BASE and also get that fur D: sorry bank account... it's time to rape you again ... right after I just blew so much money on figures.. I'm sorry Dx
-
@ Captain: Yeah, I am always worried about stuff like that. I kinda want to do a panel on con survival that inculdes ricecookers. But, I am worried that idiots would attend the paneland I would be somehow held liable when they accidently burn down the hotel. XD
@Coral: Most hotels that I have ever gone to don't even have microwaves in them. Except in the hotel lobby area at a few of them.
-
but… but ... A-Kon is held at the SHERATON and it has NO MICROWAVES Dx it's like wrong! UGH
cut a part my Impel Down Luffy best to use a friends vest as a pattern and ripped the buttons off mine. Keep in mind this was something I had done MONTHES AGO and it dipped so low you could see my tits. SIGH. Remaking it TONIGHT. ONE LESS THING TO DO
Dunno when I should wear him though D: anyone else doing Impel down at all for A-Kon? I have Inazuma too ... xD but not yet >__> he's not made yet../.
-
i dont know about that … most hotels i have ever been to had some type of micro ..and i spent 5 years living in them....when i was younger.... and these was 20 dollars a nite places.
shit now i want steak.....
maybe i should go cook some..
I have the advandge of being poor most of my life..so i have learned how to make cheap food in to great stuff...
Also there is ways to make food off of a hot engine block.
-

.Is it liked, the canned chicken from Sams? They have some canned chicken that is freakin delicious and its something easy you just open the can and dip ritz crackers in there and eat it like that. I'll bring some of that, and some bananas. Heck I'm just going to go to the store ahead of time and get the food I want to eat, I'll give my friend some money to get me ham later, because the others in the car don't want to get food until we get close, and the ones flying in were bitching that they want to go get food too, and its like >_____> We don't know where stuff is around there, so I'll let them go and get lost, because I would be mad as fucking hell after a 15 hour car trip if we got lost somewhere around there.
maybe it's because I like to waste money but when I go to a con… one of the perks of going out of town is eating out u pizza...chinese... anything that's near the con that will deliver is always more fun to me xDDD\
See my "I never have money for more then a day" rant ;_;
Though last year at AFest I set aside some money for food because we had planned ahead of time on going out atleast once, so that was ok. This year at AFest I should have a lot of money so, it hopefully won't be an issue anymore.
It is a bitch move they don't have microwaves DX We were able to get a fridge last year though.
-
To me, food is more important than merch at a convention.
Though, I have been buying stuff online more BEFORE I go to conventions, so that sort of helps a little. <.<
