/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

RIP
Kinda wonder if just Doug Walker will show up.

Also, here is the artist alley list if anyone wants to see it https://shows.map-dynamics.com/momocon2018artists/
Looks like they moved it from last year which i'm VERY happy about. Last year I was put in a corner that you couldn't even see. I'm actually in a decent spot this year.
I'm excited to see TheRunAway guys again this year. Last year I didn't get to see their full panel since it started nearly 30 minutes late and I had to leave x.x

Half the main hotel is not even booked and just blocked out. Wait until the night before the con and you can get a room for half the price of the con rate because the hotel is desperate to fill the empty rooms.

About how often does the website/FB page update fan-run photoshoots? I nearly have my lineup ready but I want to make sure there's not a few meetups I'm missing out on.

>>9861633
Currently finishing up the last of my things. I have to finish sewing a costume, finish styling a wig, and finish two props. Con crunch be gone.

Any guesses of the biggest fandoms cosplayed?

My friend and I will probably be the only people at the con that care about this, but we're cosplaying from Far Cry 4 and we're really psyched to meet Troy Baker, who was the voice of the main antagonist in the game.

Kinda confused to see Arnie and Eric Roth (who both work on Final Fantasy concerts) attending, but no FF concert announced yet. That would be nice to go to.

>>9864263
scratch that, there is a concert listed on the site

Are you kidding me??? Someone made an entire CONVENTION for Momokun?????

Hitting up Mostly the Dealers / Game room.. Hoping that Suda 51 is Signing..

>>9861638

fuck i'm disappointed about this. I don't even care about any of the other channel awesome bullshit, I always only watched Nostalgia Critic and the immediate crew surrounding it.

>>9864263
Troy Baker is a popular VA and will have a ton of people lining up for similar reasons..

>>9865826
>I don't even care about any of the other channel awesome bullshit, I always only watched Nostalgia Critic
Same. I actually discover him from his Kami-con panel several years ago. I actually REALLY like the panels he is in, specifically the gameshow and improv panels. I actually like that more than his content. I hope he still shows up

>>9865428
Fuck you

What advice would you give a momocon first timer?

>>9866280
Shower. And drink water.

>>9866280
Don't know if you're from Georgia or a cosplayer, but have a cool/breathable cosplay on standby. It can get hot real quick, especially surrounded by a bunch of people.

If you're getting food at the CNN center, you can't go in if you have a mask, prop weapon (iirc it's realistic props), or face/body paint on. So be prepared if you have a costume like that. Also, there's usually school field trips during Momocon, so expect questions and candid pics from the kids.

>>9866280

It's the end of May in the South, so without a doubt it'll probably be well into the 80s, low 90s... Add several thousand people indoors, it gets hotter... So drink as much water as you can, shower frequently, take breaks as often as you feel and make sure you wear comfortable cosplays if it at all possible.

It's in Downtown-ish ATL, so if you plan on driving and parking... I'd suggest not leaving at all unless you wanna fight traffic and what not.


I've only got 2 cosplays planned so far. 9s (NieR: Automata) and Tokoyami Fumikage from BNHA (Hero Vers)

>>9866280
First timer here too! How's the general vibe of Momocon, especially late at night? The only other big con I've attended is Sakura-con which can actually be pretty chill.

>>9866360

I haven't been since it's moved out of the tech centre.. Not sure if it's 24 hours or not.

>>9866360
Momo Con doesn't really have much in the way of night life. Everything kinda becomes super quiet around 2am

>>9866423

Unlike AWA... Shit tends to be loud all hours of the day / night. I haven't been to Momocon since it was at the tech centre...

How does it compare to AWA in terms of attendance and cosplay?

>>9866423
Yeah, that's a bummer, it's a little harder to hookup at momo

>>9866429
>AWA loud at all times
>They arrested a photographer for being too loud after 2 am last year

Why you lying?

>>9866518
Not lying... Just an observation. I guess it was just my floor, because people were running up and down the hallways and being loud as fuck.

Didn't hear about the photographer getting arrested tho.

>Cosplaying as Canti
>FLCL English va's are going to be there
>Isn't going to Momo

Choose the wrong con.

>>9866429
Momo is exactly the same size as AWA attendance wise. Maybe more this year? Its spread out at a bigger venue so you're not crammed up against other people while trying to walk back and forth like at AWA, though. Georgia World Congress Center >>> Waverly.

>>9866631
Momo is 1/3 the size of AWA. Momo states turnstile attendance to inflate their numbers. If they don't look bigly they get in trouble from the convention center.

>>9866647
>Momo states turnstile attendance to inflate their numbers
how does that inflate their number? That is actually more accurate than badge count since the question is how many attended, not how many bought a ticket.

Momocon attendees are so lucky. They have the chance to meet the legendary Asherbee.

>>9866647
Yeah, no. AWA is around 30k and you're telling me Momo is only 1/3? You're committed to saying Momo is only 10k? Quit your bullshit. I've been going to both for pretty much a decade and they're at the same levels. Why are you so adamant about downplaying the thing?

>>9861642
>Half the main hotel is not even booked and just blocked out.
Why the hell would they do that? That makes no sense.

>>9866987
The entire hotel block has been sold out for a while now, this anon is always in these threads and the AWA threads saying the same thing, it just seems like a weird fixation at this point.

>>9866280

It will be hot, drink water, the green-space is the best place to be, find/host a room party for the night or if your of age go to a nearby club since the Con has fuck all for night life (other than a typical "anime rave" on Sat).

>>9866423
Yeah, kinda sucks.

>>9866647
They have both turnstile and non turnstile numbers if you bother to look? And both are basically the same as AWA's? 31000 unique and 84000 turnstile last year at Momo, compared to AWA 31500 unique and no reported turnstile.

>>9867127
Don't forget to subtract the 100 comped badges mid level momocon staff get that get counted as "unique" even if they are not used.

>>9866694
>>9866731
>>9866987
>>9867020
>>9867127

You know you hit the nail on the head when Momocon staff run in here and give a bait post the most replies on the entire thread.

>>9867791
Oh no, not free badges to help compensate staffers for their work with no way to verify if their used or not by some stranger on the internet! The humanity! Look at this anon, guyz.

>>9867949
Do staffers really need 100 badges to give out? 5 would be more appropriate. Should unused badges even be counted?

Isn’t rebeltaxi supposed to show up with jim, izzy, and Nolan? I remember pan constantly saying he was going to do podcast 100 at momocon, so I need proofs

>>9868325
Its probably not 100 badges each. That seems silly. Its probably more like 5 per a major staffer/division and it all adds up to 100 badges total between them all?

>>9868534
It's 100 per middle level and up staff. I sell mine for cheap on Craigslist.

I sat on my ass and I never got a room at the omni, I've been checking it daily to see if there are any cancellations but can't find any. Don't wanna pay out the ass for an ADA room either

How is everyone's con crunch going? I completely fucked up one of my wigs and Im hoping the replacement comes in before the con

I'm still recovering from the expenses from SakuraCon, but I'm going because I promised our hotel booking friend I would be there hell or highwater. More than likely, I'll still end up spending too much. If anyone hasn't tried Ginya Izakaya, the Japanese restaurant nearby, I highly recommend it as a sushi chef.

I'll probably end up cosplaying Saitama for the first time. My friends always tell me to do it. I would refuse because I'm not really a fan of all the Saitama cosplay I see in general, but this will be the first time in a while one of my friends from Canada is coming down who does a mean Sonic cosplay. Another friend does a good Puri-Puri Prisoner, so I decided to cave for the group cosplay.

what's the absolute closest place i can reserve parking right now? I don't need overnight parking, just somewhere where I can drive in every day and get a close spot.

DragonCon I can easily find close parking daily near the Mariott, but Momocon I can't find shit without driving by a bunch of full lots and I'm willing to pay $20 a day no prob.

>>9872485
Parking panda for the gwcc lots

>>9872520
they don't have shit nearby. It's all like half a mile at least.

>>9872570
ever nvm, the red parking deck has a different website you gotta use. it's pretty cheap, $50 for 3 days including overnight is good.

>>9861633
Worth going? I know it’s kinda vague but I was gonna get tix and I still haven’t.

>>9872597
What's your tastes? If YouTube circle jerks and gaming is your thing, sure.

>>9872592
50 dollars plus your windows smashed because a meth head saw a quarter you left on the floor.

>>9872603

do i have any other option to park in the area? I parked at the gulch last year without issue but that doesn't seem to be an option this year.

>>9872570
There was a place right across the road last year, but for some reason it isn't available this year.

what are some of the best parts of momocon? Ive been wanting to go but I havent decided yet. How does it compare to other cons?

>>9873434
It has probably the best variety of guests and panels as far as ATL conventions go.

Dragoncon doesn't give a fuck about youtubers or newer productions, they're stuck in old franchises and media, newer people get like tiny rooms so they don't come anymore. Running the same boring circuits for the past two decades.

AWA is super anime focused, good for what it does, but yeah..

Momocon hits gaming, anime, western media, youtubers, twitch people, etc.. pretty well.

It depends what you're into.

>driving to Momo 2016
>run over a plank full of nails

>driving to Momo 2017
>shart so bad at Burger King, the employees laugh at me

This con is cursed.

>>9872602
meh

>>9873502
Youtube and twitch whores are not variety. You give them a room, food, and flight and they will gladly come over to whore their channels out and just be filler to make your guest list look bigger.

They have not gotten a good anime guest in years. Their western media list is usually some SJW garbage show. Gaming is honestly their only pull. They pay Atlanta cosfamous to shill out their con to make Momocon seem like some weeaboo heaven land. Come pay 5 dollars and touch yaya's tits! real or fake, you decide!

>>9874981
>They have not gotten a good anime guest in years.
They literally just announced studio trigger

>>9873502
https://www.momocon.com/guests/

Stopped at Akidearest and Akioboy. Where is this pretty well that you are talking about?

>>9874983
>Just announced studio trigger

Two directors that barely do anything. so great, very wow.

I don't know whats more laughable. That or Monika Lee charging 20 dollars

>>9874981
I once heard that there's an agreement with AWA that they pursued different types of guest to avoid competition? Really I only care about AWA for Lolita and Momo for youtubers and only see why it would hurt either to have both when they're 4 months apart and still both mostly draw attendees from the local area.

>>9872624
Park at the Marta and train in, it's free parking if you aren't leaving your car overnight

>>9874981
youtube guests are genuinely the only guests I ever care about.

>>9874986

>Monika Lee

Jesus Christ. They really are pulling at threads to fill up their guest list aren't they?

Reviving this thread as another new Momo attendee, from Texas so A-Kon is my comparable. I went to AWA for the first time last year as well and it seemed relatively normal in attendance, so I personally am looking forward to a normal size crowd. The temperature is my only concern right now because my cosplay choices were not the brightest, though not the worst I’ve dealt with. Lineup attached for context.

Is there anything besides the aquarium that’s pretty unique to Momo that a first-timer should check out? I’m definitely more of a cosplayer and into the anime scene than I am a gamer or YouTube person.

>>9878367
They have a pretty sweet rhythm game section as fair as unique goes

As far as heat, it stays pretty cool inside the center but a lot of people like to hang out around the green which is a circle of grass outside.

Cosplay wise, I rather enjoy the panels that Volpin, GSTQF or Go Big or Go home cosplay do. The cosplay contest is weird because typically eveyone agrees with MOST of the winners but there's always one WTF?! that even after looking at detailing and what not that don't make sense.
-

This is my 4th year going and first year going without a big cosplay, we really only have comfy cosplays and nothing to fill the "impressive cosplay" void. While I'm happy I don't feel pressured to get what were working on done within the next 2 weeks, I also am sad we won't have anything.

>>9878367
>Is there anything besides the aquarium that’s pretty unique to Momo that a first-timer should check out?
The CNN center is neat

who /volunteer/ here?

>>9878424
Thanks anon! I’ll try and do some panels; we don’t get a lot of good panels most of the time so honestly I can’t remember the last one I went to. It’s disappointing about the cosplay contest, if it didn’t take up so much time I’d do it. Have they always not had a hall contest? I asked and they said there’s only a portion where you can go on stage without being judged but I’d rather be judged and not have to go on stage.

I understand the feeling I’m not having anything to work on, I’m usually crunching but have had instances where I’ve been done for a month before the con and it feels like there’s a void where you should be working on something!

>>9878451
Thank you, I’ll try to check it out!!

>>9878702
I also suggest you check out Little Five Points, a kinda weirdo hipster neighborhood with some neat little shops.

Why the hell are half these people on the guest list? They are Atlanta locals that I see walking down the street on any given day. Why the hell are local Atlanta cosplayers charging for their autograph?

>>9867020
I thought about hitting up Momo for the first time, but I tried to look for a room way too late. Next year, I guess. How far in advance of the con date would y'all recommend booking a room?

>>9879010
The day after the con ends book your room for next year.

>>9879016
Shit, is the room struggle really that bad? All right then.

>>9866631
It's around the same size, but momocon is turning into a comic book/western TV and movies con, compared to AWA, which is full on anime. Last year at momo, I met a lot of people who wondered why cartoons were at their marvel/DC con. I would bet a third of the people at momo don't even know what anime is.

>>9879033
So, would you say that AWA is the biggest pure anime con in the region? Going to a big con with little-to-no non-anime content is my fucking dream.

>>9879034
Yes. From my understanding, the people who own dragon con bought out momo, and now they are trying to dumb down its anime content so it's not competing with AWA. AWA also has a lot more adult oriented stuff to do.

>>9879081

Oddly enough, Momo was original mostly anime.... But once they partnered with D*C it kinda dried up... And you're right, they started dumbing down the anime content to now compete with AWA... Even though AWA is still slowly turning into a shit-show.

But if Momo is as good as some people claim, I might just cancel AWA and go to something different.

>>9879017
Pretty much. Reservations for the con are all handled through a third party, so the actual hotel doesn't know anything about which/how many rooms are booked until 2 or 3 weeks before the con. I'm not getting a room this year, but I've heard plenty of stories. (People being charged twice without a confirmation e-mail, people getting that same e-mail without being charged at all, people calming to call the third party and got a confirmation number, but then the number is invalid on their website, ect)

>>9879017
Just about all the big conventions are getting this bad to the point where hotels will just straight up black out the dates for next years con. MAGFest/Katsucon does this and the same goes for Dragoncon.

This is what happens when weebs start getting older and making money.

Hoping Momo has a party scene; my lineup is Kirishima, Metal Bat, and Griffith in a playboy bunny suit.

>>9879429
what's your routine bro, how do i get those shoulders

>>9879468
T-thanks, I do Arnold press, OHP, reverse flys, facepulls, and lateral raises for my shoulders.

>>9879034
Then go to DC you damn imbecile.
>>9879017
The hotel has rooms right now that the reservations moved over. They didn't fill their rooms, again. If you wait till the day of, you can book at a lower rate because the hotel is desperate to fill the empty rooms
>>9879429
No party scene and they are going to tell you to go back to your room and get changed. Not family safe.

>>9879167

AWA this year used some third party thing that crashed before anyone could even use it. I was lucky enough to get a room in the host-hotel..... But lots of people have reported the reservation not being valid or showing up at the hotel when they go to check in... So I'm gonna call / check once a month until the con, and then closer to the con call once a week lol

>>9879676

>If you wait till the day of, you can book at a lower rate because the hotel is desperate to fill the empty rooms

What kind of dumbass lie is this

>>9879676
They will accept my shirtlessness or else.

>>9879705
Someone who does it. Want my folio this year to prove it?
>>9879678
Momocon uses the same system. You fuckers are screwed.

>>9879761
Not that anon but, if you're offering, sure, let's see the evidence. Curious if that works.

Any panel recs? Are there any seagulls paneling?

>>9880271
The Runaway Guys "Thrown Controllers" panel. If you like nintendo games and game shows, you'll like this.

>>9879770
Sure thing. Also walk up to the desk yourself and ask if any rooms are available.

>>9868495
yes he is!

>>9880305
I went there in 2015, as well as saw the brainscratchguys. Had a great time

I'm going, but I urge everyone not to attend the RWBY panel this year. They turned the series into an SJW Platform Panel.

Any nearby bars/restaurants that would be good for late night chilling?

A lot of my friends have flaked on Momocon for various reasons and now I'm struggling to find people to fill my room, but I'm too goddamn picky to advertise on the facebook for fillers ugh

>>9879429
Is their shirtlessness policy really bad enough to bar me from cosplaying kirishima?

>>9874445
Update: My grandma shattered her wrist playing squash.

>>9882311
I saw several Kirishima cosplayers last year. You'll be fine.

>>9882290
I understand the feeling, anon. I started out with six in my room and I’m down to two, including myself. I can comp the rest of the room myself without hurting but it still fucking sucks. Finding FB fillers is a major hit or miss.

>>9861633
Is the valet parking for the hotel worth it? I dont plan on going too far but $45 for valet feels kinda steep.

>>9882717
Just park in the ghetto parking lots. The chances of your car getting broken into are the same. You are paying 45 bucks for some underpaid kid to drive your car from those same ghetto lots.

Which one of you guys are seeing the rebel taxi panel?

>>9871481
Oh man, that kinda makes me want to take my Blizzard of Hell cosplay, tho no one knew who the hell I was at MTAC.

My cosplay partner had to back out due to a death in the family so now I'm re working all of my costume plans. I have a few new ones due to a taobao order so I might just wear those. Kinda bummed she won't be there to hang out with tho.

>>9866304
ANY prop. I know this is half a month old but the stupid security guard kicked me out for having an obviously fake rapier for my red mage strapped to my hip. It had no sharp point, made out of foam, bright ass yellow and had chocobo feathers on it. This guard let me walk in too and only decided I was bad while I was in the middle of ordering a burger.

It doesn't matter how realistic it is, they get butthurt over everything.

I love all the poor kids having issues with the Omni and acting all surprised. This is the 4th year in a row where stupid shit has happened with that hotel and the 2016 valet parking bullshit was the tipping point for me. Never ever getting another penny from me.

I’m staying at the double tree, how far from the con center is it? Will I be able to walk (comfortably) or will I need to maybe get a lyft/Uber?

>>9884772
Eh. Its a 15 minute walk with the bulk of that walk being through Centennial Olympic Park.

>>9884765
I circumvent the parking by using the red deck and a dolly
I do wish I was staying there again this year, but I'm just lazy/probably an alcoholic

/cgl/ meet up at ~7:30 near registration on friday? Artist alley closes at 7, so the gulls who are artists can show up.

I'm at the AC hotel next to the Waffle House. This will only enhance my drinking problem.

>>9884869
I'm also there. First time staying at that hotel. I hope it's alright.

>>9882290
More friends flaked so it's just two of us in our room. I debated just cancelling honestly. My friend still really wants to go but I'm less enthused because we've had problem after problem trying to get to the con.

It's almost time gulls. How's everyone's concrunch going? Lineups? Going to any photoshoots or panels, and thoughts on the photoshoots and panels?

Where are the photoshoots scheduled? I don't see anything on the app.

>>9886577
https://www.momocon.com/photo-locations/
It's not on the app, for some reason. I'm slightly dissapointed by the photoshoots scheduled this year desu.

>>9878951
Most of these guests don't sit at a table during the con selling autographs, they just run panels. (With the exception of Monika Lee.) Kind of sad that the con doesn't give the cosplay track the budget to get very many nonlocal cosplay guests, but when they do fly someone in, they ask a person who used to be a local. Good going, Momocon, way to get us cosplayers pumped about our guest lineup... ¬_¬

>>9886672
It's okay, the local Atlanta cosplayers will still suck the cons dick because of its wonderful marketing ability and pull of Youtube guests.

>>9886596
Not anything staff can do about that. People had like 6 months to send in their photoshoots for the official schedule but most decided to wait until after the deadline to even bother and now they're scrambling in panic mode to try and get unofficial ones sent in.

>>9886821
You idiots know you could have filled out the survey that was on the website forever for guest considerations right? They aren't just going to go and mass-email all the patreon whores in hopes that someone says yes.

I bet you're one of the idiots that complains about the price of 4-day badges the week before when you've had a whole god damn year to buy a cheap one.

>>9886596
The app is still being updated. The photoshoots will be up on the app in the next day or so.

>>9887053
Awesome, this makes it a lot easier to plan out!

>>9886596
Like >>9887049 said the staff didn't have anything to do about it but I'm surprised by how many photoshoots are for series aren't cosplayed as frequently anymore, like the VK sweater meet. Not that that's a bad thing, though.

Hopefully there won't be much rain during the con!

Anyone ever park at the red parking deck before?

i printed my parking pass and it says Momocon 2018 - Any 3 days, etc..

the Enter/Exit dates all say TBD.

Hopefully this won't be an issue.

>>9887101
Its TBD because its ANY 3 days. Just scan it when you get there.

What really sucks, Looks like it's gonna rain / storm the whole weekend :/

>>9887310
Gonna suck but good thing I know how to seal my armor properly. Already wore it at a rainy cherry blossom festival with no issues!

>>9887310
Looks like it will be on/off showers, so probably not rain the entire time. On the bright side, it should be somewhat cool, in the low 80s. On the bad side, less people will be outside because of rain, meaning they'll be inside causing the halls to be even more crowded.

>>9887310
Damn, I've got a photoshoot planned for the park. Guess I'm gonna have to find a backup then.

>>9887365
Have fun getting yelled at by GWCC staff for daring to set foot outside the "Weirdo corral".

Yo wait a minute, the schedule looks like it goes all night.

Is momocon a 24/7 con now?!

>>9887463
Yup. Only reason they weren't sooner is because the con center didn't allow events past 2am, so I wonder what changed?

>>9887478

Yeah I guess something changed this past year because they had that Dreamhack event that was 24/7.

>>9883055
I'm gonna introduce him to my goth gf.

>>9887101
2 day pass is for 48 hours, 3 day pass is for 72 hours, 4 day pass is for 96 hours after you first come in. That's why it's tbd, because it's tbd from the time you go into the garage

>>9887761

is it in and out?

Anyone here go to cons by themselves? It's cool experiencing all the events going on, but after you go through all of your plans there's a sort of empty feeling of wondering around alone.

>>9888328
Cosplay and meet up with other people that are part of that cosplay. Go to the /cgl/ meetup. Talk to artists and vendors during slow hours who sell stuff you like.
I totally relate to you though, going to cons by myself feels extremely lonely if I don't end up meeting anyone there.

It's been a while since I've been to momocon, are there any location suggestions for a (private) photoshoot besides the park?

>>9888108
As long as you purchase the ones with the overnight option, yes. If you purchase just the day pass for parking it does not come with in and out capabilities

>>9887463
No it's not. They are kicked out of the center and sent to off shoot sites. Expect that to end too when the owners of the offsite venues get pissed off and close up.

>>9887053
Google docs is not the app you inept piece of shit. Do your fucking job. I am tired of having to clean up your mess because of your lying.

All the photoshoots are up. The reason there are so few is because my fucking "co-worker" was lazy as fuck and didnt acknowledge or answer emails. I don't even care about throwing her under the bus at this point.

what do you think are going to be some popular cosplays this year? I feel like Aggretsuko and Fate are going to be popular.

>>9888655
I’m interested to see how people go about Aggretsuko cosplay, I’m not sure how I feel about the ones I’ve seen with mesh contacts and black anger lines all over their faces.

Judging from lineups I think the dominant cosplay will still be BNHA alongside Voltron. I haven’t seen too many people announcing Fate cosplay but considering I’m one of them I can’t really talk lol.

>>9888655
Love Live, as per usual. I've been seeing a lot of Homestuck in people's lineups too.

Last year i had to book a hotel that was an hour (walking distance) away. It was about $600 for the 4 days. But i convinced my buddy who lives in Atlanta to go with me so we can stay in his apartment. That means more money free for booze and shit.

This is going to be a fun one boys.

Anyone who grabs my butt will get laid.

>>9888930
You hot though?

>>9888573
Sounds like someone pissed their bed this morning.

>>9888939
I'm busty, told I'm cute, and love acting lewd behind closed doors.

>>9888957
Yeah but chick or stick?

>>9888913
I was able to stay with 6 other people in a hotel half a mile from the con. Costs me less than $100 for the 4 days compared to ~$500 I paid last year.
No booze though, lots of artist alley and vendor merch for me.

>>9889067
There's never really stuff i want at conventions, i might buy a couple of shirts and posters but i tend to buy something expensive then look at it a week later and say "i could've bought two weeks worth of food instead" then just feel like it was a waste forever.

>>9888957
You ever had your asshole licked by a fat guy in an overcoat?

Tomorrow's the big day everyone. Anyone still con crunching?

>>9889647
Just little things like wig styling and packing!

>>9889647
Can I just say something about con crunching? I hate it. Not because of the fear of not getting a cosplay done, but because of all of the people complaining. It really pisses me off when people decide do make these intricate costumes and then don’t do any form of time management and then they’re stuck the day before the con with half a completed costume.
I’ve seen way too many posts about momocon crunch this year, somehow it’s gotten worse.

>>9889647
Finished all my stuff last night thankfully! Just need to pack when I get home and then I fly out in the morning!

>>9889647
Just packing everything right now and deciding what to wear on each day.
Also praying to Arceus that my friend actually wakes up on time and is ready by the time I pick her up tomorrow.
I hate that I have to get up an extra hour early due to timezone change from AL to GA x.x

>>9889664
If people would fucking plan better and do small pieces here and there you wouldn't be crunching. Its so fucking stupid.

>its not cosplay if you didnt make it in your hotel/car the night before.

Bitch you told us last year you were gonna do it. How the fuck did you wait until the last week? You did not work 7 days a week for a year straight.

>>9889647
Finished last week thankfully! I'm all packed up and ready to go. I have to find a good photoshoot place in case of rain, but Georgia weather is unpredictable. Have a good Momocon everyone!

>>9887049
>You idiots know you could have filled out the survey that was on the website forever for guest considerations right?
I did fill out the survey. I asked for Alyson Tabitha, Josh Hart, Enayla Cosplay, Cowbutt Curnchies and a few others. Most of these guests are East Coast and would have been cheaper to fly in, too. So untwist your panties, I "voted." I didn't just wait for fate to decide, then complain.

Today’s the day! Have fun guys

Is there anything worth doing on the first day?

>mfw there's a career fair

>>9890460
It fits, 75 percent of you fuckers are jobless

Is the badge pickup line bad during Saturday mornings? Trying to not spend anymore than 10 mins in line.

>>9890724

Better get a tent and camp out then

>>9865865
Fuck him. He turned out to be cancer.

>>9890861
yikes

>>9890940
Wait what? What do you mean, did even more happen?

Ya’ll need to stop sucking off youtubers and just chill out and play games

Why is everyone T posing this year

>>9891372
Let them kill the meme as fast as possible

Why was the swat team at the omni? jesus christ guys, the con didn't even start.

Anyone else see the dinosaur with the mario odyssey hat?

Meet up at 7:30 today near registration.

Why does this con feel empty as fuck>

>>9891043
Not recently, no.
A lot of what was revealed with Channel Awesome was just confirming what was already out there anyways.

Someone isn't wearing panties

Anything good going on tonight? My mom won't let me come to the /cgl/ meetup.

>>9891779
Where are you at?? It’s crowded as hell everywhere

This is my second time here can anyone tell me the deets for the rave Saturday night? I didn’t know about it last year til the morning after and I’ve been looking forward to it ever since

>>9891789
If isn't part of the cosplay then it is not accurate

>>9891839
Seriously. I've been crowd dodging and weaving all day trying to get through areas.. I don't want to think how crowded it'll be tomorrow.

>>9891839
>>9892012

>>9892012
>>9891839
This con has a weird vendettafag that always lurks the threads claiming the con has no attendance and is on the brink of failure and stuff. Just ignore.

>>9892129
We are Legion.

>>9892115
Suprisingly not, chill.

I'm so hype to wear shittily made cosplay and flick everyone off today. Anything fun going on that I should know about?

Any place to get some breakfast out here?

>>9861633
This is my first momocon but im excited for the rave. Do a bunch of people show up only for the rave here or is it just going to be the same con crowd?

>>9892129
I don't know man. Even the biggest shit fest of cons are on part 2 of their threads by con time. This one is moving fucking slow as fuck.

Suda-san is cute!

>>9892477
You're cute too, anon!

Any of you fucks done and selling your con pass? 50 for one days absurd

>>9892491
Stop, you're cute~!

>>9892492

>>9892492
I got a Sunday pass that I don't need. Down to sell it for $25

>>9892634
Would ya do 20?

Taking a break from the con to check out the Atlanta jazz festival. So far it's pretty comfy.

holy shit have staff always been this bitchy? i feel like i'm getting yelled at just for walking by

>>9892664
I'll just give You mine, meet me at the front, dressed as D.va (slutty version, sorry I'm a thot)

>>9892410
There’s a Waffle House right by the Ferris wheel

>>9892766
Where are you at??
>>9892477
Me on the left

>someone posts they aren't wearing panties
>giggle like a little girl as if that's true
>mfw i actually saw someone without panties on
shit was tight

>>9893145
Some vendor guy told me saw for some reason

>>9892671
yeah like i had a lady demand to see the front of my badge like it was my ID or something

Anybody had any cringe-worthy panels yet? The best/worst part of momocon is that they literally let anyone apply. I mean ANYONE. I do flow arts and decided to check out the hoop panel this afternoon...ohhhh boy. Granted it was a beginner class but the "instructor" had no clue what she was doing and it was so awkward lol I want to find more gems like this

>>9893175
bruh what?

>>9892941
That Waffle House is getting slammed right now with all the drunks from the con. They even have a security guy blocking the door.

>>9893312
Haha, even Waffle house hates weeboos.

The soccer game or whatever was at the stadium just let out a bit ago so it's slammed from those drunk ppl too

Where the fuck is everyone at

>>9893395
i don't know I'm just trying to get my dick sucked

YO HEADS UP!
If anyone took a condom from the slutty maid trio that was going around handing condoms out last night, DO NOT USE THEM! They were wearing low cut outfits with kawaii fang hospital masks handing out random brands of condoms. We grabbed like 4 condoms and we're going to water balloon our passed out friend, but then we noticed when we filled them up. ALL FUCKING FOUR HAD HOLES IN THEM! THESE BITCHES GAVE OUT SABATOGED CONDOMS

IF YOU DID NOT USE YOUR OWN CONDOM THAT YOU BOUGHT YOURSELF, GIRLS GET DOWN TO THE NEAREST DRUG STORE AND GET SOME PLAN B. GUYS, FIND WHATEVER CHICK YOU SLEPT WITH AND GET HER SOME PLAN B! BOTH PARTIES GET CHECKED OUT!

This is a sick fucking prank to pull on people. I hope you cunts are identified!

>>9893237
Any fujoshi panel. Easily identified through the use of cheesy titles about Hetalia, Ouran High, and other titled with bishounen

So, someone t-posed in front of whimsipop/thumbcramps table and they got upset about it.

>>9893237
Kek I got a good laugh out of peeking in on that class, nothing better than weebs being uncoordinated in a group

>>9893466
does anyone know how to rate panels like dcon

>>9893436
Why the fuck would people accept condoms from randoms?

Oh wait, convention people.

Aight see ya fucking nerds next year.

>>9893545
literally who? Is there some drama involving this girl?

Fun times, one of the bathroom stalls near the dealer's room is now named "The Redpill Stall" by my friends since it included:

>A message stating that anime is a tool used to turn american men into docile cum addicts
>A link to InfoWars
>Someone did a likeness of Alex Jones in there too but I think it was erased

>gender neutral bathrooms

neat

>>9888957
Lies. Stop lying, dude.

>>9894068
I mean a good thing is that they seemed to be less crowded. There was more of a steady flow of people in and out rather than a solid line for the women's room

whens does the photo dump start?

First con, good stuff. Hung around DBZ fighters and BlazBlue way too much.

Cosplayed from NieR: Automata and BNHA this weekend, was hot af. (like, almost got heat stroke hot)

CNN centre were jerks, Topless chick at the rave, WE HAVE THREE ESCALATORS, country concert and graduations.

All in all? 7/10 I guess. May return next year, wasn't happy about the parking, the fact that the park closed off it's gates making it hard to get to WH without walking alot...

>>9894213
Gotta stay hydrated dude.

That aside, I'm confused by the CNN center enforcement.

My friend got hassled for a foam Link master sword.

I walked in with my 6ft Trafalgar Law piece of wood sword without issue.

Does it have to do with just resembling a weapon more than the actual harm it could cause?

As for parking:

Reserve a 4day parking pass it's only ~$60 at the red parking deck. I never had any issue at all this weekend. Super convenient, the elevator takes you straight to the area right across the convention center.

>>9894213
topless as in pasties or all out? surprised staff didn't shut that down.

>>9893545
I think Kate Leth got annoyed with my boyfriend because he drew a crowd with his cosplay and the photo-snappers blocked her booth.
>mfw

>>9894219
I was drinking water like a bitch... Went through a 24 pack of water by myself just on saturday.

Well, The CNN centre was NOT a part of the con, so they have their own rules and shit... but like, I was cosplaying 9s from NieR, I had my blindfold on, but it wasn't over my eyes, it was on my forehead, they asked me to leave... TWICE, Third time I had my foam fake af 9s sword with me, asked to leave... 4th time my visor was covering PART of my eye ( Could still see great)

I'm not sure.. But Momocon basically said they can't do anything about it. Which is understandable, it was NOT part of the con.

I didn't get it in time, My ride / driving situation kept changing.

>>9894227

Straight up topless. I didn't see it, but lots of people talked about it, and lots of post on the Momocon FB page about it.

>>9894229

What time did these CNN centers things happen?

Wonder if they just had an overzealous guard?

>>9894246

Around 11am, 1:30ish 5 and then around 7 pm on Saturday.

>>9894186
bbtag was pretty fun, it's cool they have games early at events like these

BTW, did anyone get pics from the Square Enix photoshoot on Saturday or the BNHA shoot on Friday?

Babby's First Momocon Results:

>Fucking overwhelmed by the group of people in attendance

>WE HAVE THREE ESCLATORS

>Game room was legit, dug Tokyo Attack

>Dealers room was kinda shit for items

>All the rubber duckie squeaking noises

>Why are these people fucking T-Posing?

> 7.5/10 should have kept flirting with the cute 2B will probably go back next year

>>9894331
>Dealers room was kinda shit for items

I think this one can honestly be attributed to the fact that 3 large cons were going on in the same region this weekend leaving vendors stretched thin.

>>9894331

Which 2b my dude? There were a few there. This was one of them, nevermind the shitty 9s. I later found out she was like 17 tho.

>> Dealers room was kinda shit for items

>>9894341

Ah, Didn't think of that... but makes sense. There was Megacon and Momocon, but what else?

>>9894346
fanime i think

>>9894346
That 9S's outfit is as nice as that 2B's outfit though. Regardless, kinda rude to personally take a photo of someone then post it here and call it shitty.
>inb4 sorry you were posted
Not me.

>>9894346
>>9894354
Animazement and Comicpalooza were also going on, not sure how big they are in comparison but everyone on my feed was at at least three of these. Agreed on shitty items, pretty sure I saw at least four booths of the same shit at least five different times.

Also babby’s first Momo experience, I love out of state cons and not knowing anyone because there’s no fucking drama. Humidity killed me and my makeup but cosplays were well received and got a decent amount of pics taken. The venue is interesting and was hard to navigate at first but come next year if I go it should be easier.

Honestly it just seems like a well rounded con compared to my locals. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and no major incidents happened that I heard of besides a couple minor injuries. Overall, 8/10 cause I’d have liked to have had at least one or two other close friends with me.

>>9894362

A nice outfit won't mean shit if you look like you've got 5 fuckin chins, mate.

I didn't take the pic. It was from the Square Enix photoshoot on Saturday. She was the only 2b I saw that was actually good. The rest were meh.

>That Suda autograph line on Friday morning
Did they fuck up the schedule? I lined up to get my copy of Fatal Frame 3 signed by Kimberly Brooks, and noticed his line was ridiculously thin. My friends and I did a lap around the dealer's room, then came back to find his line empty 30 minutes prior to it closing. We asked the line guy if it was ticketed. He said no. We just walked up, and Suda gave us all autographs and photos for free. It was surreal.

>>9894229
I do know they threatened to arresr a 9 year old kid who was seperated from their parents with a dollar store fake prop

Can you imagine trying to find your mom and dad and the people who are supposed to help being such dicks?

Momocon organizers were not happy and are going into talks to CNN center to be better

>>9894456
It wasn't listed on the schedule at all. He mentioned it in his panel and did a autograph session there.

My favorite pic

>>9894707
Fug forgot, well enjoy breaking your necks

I guess /pol/ was at momo too

>>9894586
and the CNN center does not care. Even with Dragoncon's back door support, the best Momocon can do is bitch and whine. The CNN center will backhand them with their contract and tell them to go back to freak corral while they wipe their ass with a grand. Momocon is a shit in the bucket and more damage to property compared the revenue and loss generate by other places that use that venue. The CNN center does not care and they don't have to.

>>9894739

Basically this. Momocon stated several times that the CNN Centre was NOT a part of the con, and they cannot do anything about them.. They posted several signs stating don't wear mask, face paint, props, etc...

Even though the con generates more revenue for the CNN Centre, They still won't care about how people are treated... according to a few people, it's also a major security risk as well.

People have said that AWA should move to the GWCC because of how much more space there is, but AWA likes to suck the dick of the Cobb Galleria / Renaissance Waverly hotel, so that'll never happen. It's also my understanding that they have a pretty long-term contract with them.

But I digress.

Surprised a lot of people had trouble with the CNN center....i had a huge sword with led lights and a battery pack and they let me through no problem. I asked security as well and they were fine with it

>>9894845

Some security were cool with it, others were not.. There were also various cops being jerks as well.

>>9894835
I do hate how much more crowded AWA feels because of how much smaller some of the hallways are, but I like the parking and travel much better at AWA. Momo is just SO much more expensive and traffic is awful.

>>9894854

Well it didn't help matters there were SEVERAL events going on that weekend. (Graduations, country concert, etc)

>>9894869
Babby's first here again

Supposedly it was a soccer match, a concert, and then also graduation and just people being out Saturday night.. super crowded and drunk people. and that traffic was ridiculous also Rip to anyone who wanted to get a hotel that Saturday night

CNN Center looked cool but we kinda just hustled through it to get to the con..

>>9883055
Pan and the rest of the Pizza Party Podcast was the best part of the whole con.

>>9894835
Why doesn't Momocon do two of the Dcon hotels?

Or something along those lines? I like the GWCC, but having your only food place nearby be so shitty is so frustrating.

It really does seem like Momo isn't the most welcome at its current venue. I chatted with some other attendees about the CNN center's actions being not-so-subtle hints that they don't want the con around, and now I'm wondering about that too.

>>9893936
There's a kiwi thread on her.

>>9894714
Girl or fat dude?

>>9894953

I thought they did at some point?

>>9894960

Some of them made it very obvious they didn't want us there.

>>9894960
I assume its expensive. those hotel rooms cost a lot too so con goers probably dont buy them out.

I will say I had a fun time hanging out with friends, but it was hot af outside. I only got a few cosplay pics before coming back inside, where it was barely cooler in some areas.

Ah yes the good old rumor mill rears its ugly head.

You're all fucking retarded if you think Momocon is some degenerate convention that no one wants in GWCC. If any of you passed third grade you might actually understand that you're in the main headquarters of one of the most controversial news agencies of the US. The security treats everyone like shit year round and it has nothing to do with all the convention attendees. Instead it has everything to do with the fact that its fucking CNN and before the 2016 elections they were a little more lax.

Here's a hint in case you're too retarded to understand what this means: People want to see CNN literally burn to the ground. If it was the Fox News Center it would be the exact same too.

>>9894960
The first two years in the GWCC were rough but since settling in the GWCC is extremely accommodating towards the convention. Fuck off.

>>9894953
They're too small and it costs an absurd amount of money and they wanted to avoid the issue with overcrowding. The GWCC is capable of expanding into halls B and C and be able to hold a lot more than Dragoncon's current attendance numbers. Lets not even mention the fact that Dragoncon itself is a fucking nightmare for the city of Atlanta. Dragoncon is cool as an attendee but DOT and city employees and even emergency services have to dedicate so much to the weekend.

So when did they start the family friendly crusade? I recall being able to buy beer inside the con in previous years.

>>9895253

You're right about this, I can't tell you how many times I heard the comment "Fake news" etc over the weekend. Alot of people don't realize it's the headquarters for CNN news... Most just think it's some kind of tourist attraction (Well, IT IS, but it serves a legit purpose)

All in all, I didn't have TOO bad of an experience with them - Some were jerks, some were cool and understanding but still asked us to leave.

>>9895262
They have never had beer available in the GWCC. It was only during the time in the DCon hotels due to them being actual hotels. They aren't on a crusade after the first year in GWCC.

>>9895265
I was eating pizza there Thursday night and I heard 4 different instances of "FAKE NEWS!" over the course of an hour. I hate CNN but I'm not gonna be that retarded. Most of their shows are literally filmed 3 floors up and people don't understand this for some reason.

>>9895266
Just wondering as I noticed the panelists having to remind themselves and be reminded FAMILY FRIENDLY rather often this year.

>>9895273
Cursing =/= maturity

35k!? Isn't that like a 40% growth over last year?

>>9895275
Not saying I want just unfiltered panels but its kinda ridiculous to panels after 10 pm.

>>9895281
So why exactly do you feel the need to hear the word "fuck" every other word?

>>9895032
girl
>>9895277
thanks for posting that. I feel like half of that number is from Saturday. Wish they did something to get more people in on thursday. Its kinda dead on thursday.

>>9895292
Is this bait? Wanting unfiltered content that isn't squeaky clean is not the same as wanting swearing that's just for the sake of being edgy, man.

>>9895292
Lack of cursing is not my issue here? What do you want me to be upset about. I will gladly validate your assumptions if it makes you feel better.

>>9895262
They were pretty relaxed this year. My friends and I had several bottles of booze in the card game area every night just out on the table.

>>9895335
yeah was walking around with some alcohol on friday night and no one said anything about it

>>9894960
I wonder why...
http://variety.com/2018/politics/news/trump-fake-news-cnn-1202673974/
When you see folks at a con running around with kekistan flags and shirts you'd be on notice too.

>>9895277
What the hell? Did they start handing free badges to the career fair and graduation?

Actually, that is not a bad idea to pad your numbers. Find a bunch of randos, give them free badges and claim them as attendance.

>>9895253
>>
Ah yes, the fedora neck beard has reared his head to try and exert his knowledge dominance upon us plebians.

>>You're all fucking retarded if you think Momocon is some degenerate convention that no one wants in GWCC.

Instead, it has everything to do with the fact that its fucking CNN and before the 2016 elections they were a little laxer.


So pretty much they do consider Momocon a degenerate con that is a security risk that they don't want a large group of people with questionable mental states at any given time.

How are you related to this for profit organization again?

>>9894835
On the contrary, its the Cobb Galleria/Waverly sucking AWA's dick. The contract actually ends this year. AWA was also offered the GWCC first but they rejected it due to the shitty parking, food options and not having exclusive use of the venue. Having normies and taunting them is fun until a chair comes flying off the balcony, launched by angry sports fans and hits a Loki cosplayer and her adamantine horn helmet.

>>9895435
And yet this STILL hasn't happened at momocon since it moved to the GWCC. AWA is run by retarded chimps and I'm amazed its survived this long.

>>9895435
>Having normies and taunting them is fun until a chair comes flying off the balcony, launched by angry sports fans and hits a Loki cosplayer and her adamantine horn helmet.
Lets be real here. Those were drunk Dragoncon attendees that did that shit, you cant really pin all the blame on "muh sports fans" when Dragoncon attendees have done plenty of foul shit over the years.

>>9895440
Are you blind and not reading the thread?

does anybody have hall pics of this con or hotel pics? I have a hard time imagine it.

I go to Dragoncon every year and love it, but this seems oddly different or maybe not as good as people say.

>>9895411
They advertised the shit out of everything locally for the past 6 months or so

Did anyone else go to the cosplay contest this year? The overral winner was extremely disappointing.

>>9895769
I did not go to the contest but I saw some really great cosplay there.

>>9895769
did you see it up close though? I thought for sure the death claw was gonna get it, but my friend said the girl that one had some insane detail.

>>9895749
I saw more normies then attendees

>>9895435

Really? I thought it was the other way around. The GWCC would be smart in terms of overall size, But parking is the biggest issue... The food options (To me) are better because of the CNN Centre and downtown areas. The galleria only has so much.

The attendance numbers seem extremely far-fetched, but I saw so many normies / regular folks there...

>>9895823
The size of GWCC is so nice but the normies, parking and the shit the CNN center does is just too gross, I like and dislike both, so I'm happy they are in two different locations, if they both did GWCC I think everyone would start getting real sick of the CNN centers bullshit not letting people in.

>>9895832

Fair enough. There was a rumor that the Cobb Galleria / Renaissance was going to "Expand" and there was going to be another hotel built.... But that's just here-say.

The CNN Centre was bullshit, couldn't even walk through there to get to the GWCC (shorter distance for some AND air conditioned)

The size is the only nice thing.. But parking / CNN Centre was bullshit... Not to mention the fact that Momocon will never be able to use the entire venue (Meaning no other events going on at it) which causes even more traffic issues, then the Mercedes stadium had a country concert / other events going on which only added to the problem.

Babby's First Momocon here as well. I have local access to Collosalcon but the venue is getting to be a little too small and the Dealer's room is always sort of bad, seems much more like a Cosplay event to me anyways, onto the rating:

>Cosplays were varied and great! Lots of different series though MHA seemed a little over-represented.
>Dealers were also great! I had a lot of fun picking out good items from both Dealers and Artists, though Artists were definitely the Highlight for me!
>The people at the con were all quite friendly! Maybe this is just my experience as an Ohio Local, but there are always quite a few irritable people frequenting Collosalcon that tends to bring down my mood a bit.
>The food inside the con was pretty standard, but Atlanta proper had great food! We stayed at the Marriott Inn, so we never strayed for more than a few blocks around the convention center for food and otherwise but the strip next to the hotel had great food!

>Overall grade 8/10

I'll be making Momocon a stop every other year now, as the Hotels close by are a littttle too pricey to frequent yearly. I might even get over my shyness and try to cosplay next time I go.

>>9895769
Overall winner had 100 hours invested into her costume. Judge (a tailor) said she sewed better than he did. Hand smocked sleeves and shorts, all fabric hand dyed, quilted, and beaded. She had two different props to go with the costume. Sewed two wigs together. Put a massive amount of detail into it. Idk man, like I don't know who should have gotten it instead.

Deathclaw while EXTREMELY impressive, had little to no sewing aspects about it and was mostly fabrication which is why it probably won Best Masters Fabrication and not overall.

>>9895584

>>9895852
I want to go back

>>9895852

>>9895435
That wasn't at the GWCC. It was at the much more tightly controlled Dragoncon hotels. And considering they difficulty the con has EVERY YEAR with someone throwing shit off the 10th floor, it's safe to assume it was drunken attendees, not sports fans.

I dunno why you feel the need to suck AWA's cock so hard but damn dude.

>>9895867
I saw a cosplayer pass out in this area

>>9895793
I did see it up close and detail or not, it didn't deserve to get get numbed up from a novice to a master class. Yes she put a lot of time and effort but they should have just let her win her class instead. They even mentioned how many master class participants they had before the show start and still proceeded to give the award to a novice. I do think it's a beautifu costume but not enough to win the entire show.

>>9895901
Curious who you think should have gotten it? It's unfortunate that they don't say class for everyone but even the deathclaw was bumped from journeyman to masters, it's possible that the masters class just sucked. All you need to be qualified as masters is a few BiS under your belt, which is easily done at smaller cons.

>>9895947
I think anyone is allowed to enter masters, and considering the prize was a dragoncon ticket and a marriott room maybe a bunch of low level people entered masters to try and get it? >>9895901
I'm also curious who you think should have gotten the whole thing? Personally I would still think the deathclaw, but two of the judges were sewers so I guess they skewed that way.

>>9895852
What day/time was this?

Looks a lot more like AWA size con to me.

>>9896035
What was her costume? I didn’t get to go to it.

>>9896051
I don’t know about AWA but this con felt massive to me.

>>9896068
Pink Diamond from Steven Universe

>>9896089
Thank you!

>>9896051
Just after 3pm on saturday. I was heading to the rebel taxi panel and it was completely filled up with people. I couldn't even get in.

>>9896178
Monster Hunter fan panel, Steven universe conspiracies panel and Arby's panels were full up as well

>>9896181
>Arby's panels
The fuck?

>>9896193
The guy that does the weeby paper craft for arbys was there

>>9896178
I see myself in there!

Cosplay Dance Battles was lit tho.

>>9895842
Next time go to Pittypat's Porch. Its about a mile down the street (15 minute walk). Its just past the waffle house on the other side of the park and its the most chill place I've been to for food. Bit pricey (Expect to pay maybe $30 for a big meal) but the god damn macaroni is life changing. They even had free desert for momocon attendees.

>>9895876
Its probably Rick. He's AWA's resident leg-humping hunchback faggot.

>>9896178
I didn't think RebelTaxi was that popular. All I know is he did some random Ed, Edd, n Eddy reviews that I watched like once. How surprising.

>>9896181
I normally don't attend introductory panels for content I know everything about but I'm glad I did the MH panel. The host was amazing and I'm kind of mad I didn't see her with her Diablos armor on Saturday.

>>9896207
I didn’t get to see that

>>9896220
Rebel Taxi is the whole reason I went to the con.

I love that Slushie brought us chalk. I wish I took a picture of more of the art the next day, but forgot to.

>>9896220
Yea, I just know about rebel taxi because he was on Drunken Peasants as a guest once. I think this was the first event he has ever been too, which is why so many people went.

>>9896203
>the team*

>>9896193
It's not Arby's themselves but the advertising group responsible for their social media campaign, and it was actually pretty cool, you could tell that they loved their job. Plus I got a free shirt so that was cool!

>>9895901
>My favorite didn't win WAHHHHHHHH!

Oh grow up. The ranks are based entirely on awards won, nothing else. If you didn't like it then maybe you should get good at designing costumes and become a judge yourself.

>>9896220
It's weird to be harping on no one liking the weird congoers while hyping AWA do they not remember until recently the Galleria used to shut down the goddamn lobby at like 5 on Saturday to prep for that stupid Sunday Brunch all of like 6 people attended? They hated us. They just realized we were more money.


Also does anyone know the drama with ebonywarrior studios/Charles Conley or whatever? Someone made a post about him being kicked from the masq but the FB mods locked it before anyone could respond.

>>9896262
I don't know what happened but the person who made the post has a vendetta against him because he cheated on her one year and may have claimed cosplay work as his own at some point. Now she's trying to torpedo him.

Cheating is wrong, claiming work as your own is super wrong too but calling for a permanent ban from a convention because you're mad at him is so fucking stupid.

>>9896220
>>Its probably Rick. He's AWA's resident leg-humping hunchback faggot.

Wow you are behind the times. Faggot got fired after some professional cosplayer hacked his facebook and complained that he was making her look bad.
>>9895876
I'm not sucking AWA's cock. I am just correcting your bad information. Seems to be a habit of yours, Dodge.

>>9895850
>>9895867
Black Akuma in EVERY PHOTO!

>>9896270
Considering he is STILL posting as an AWA staff member he's not fired. Paul Listro fucking defended him when Danielle called them out for being bullshit with cosplay rewards.

>>9896286
Paul Listro is a fucking joke. Actually, 90% of the AWA staff are jokes. Egotastical douchebags. Security staff are the same way, Especially Wes.

>>9896294
Ardyn actually threatened someone last year with revoking their purchased badge before the convention because they were a panelist and didn't get the discount code until after the deadline and had the audacity to complain about it.

>>9896299

Seems like any time ANYONE has the "audacity" to complain about things with the con or speak up, They do everything they can to greatly downplay it, ignore it or gaslight people.

>>9896305
I remember one year when Paul actually told women not to carry pepper spray because it was "too dangerous". On facebook. In a public post. In the not-official AWA group. Really wish I could find those screenshots.

>>9895823
Parking is a non issue. Just reserve parking in the red deck for 4 days for $60.
>>9896051
AWA's venue is tiny compared to GWCC.

>>9896312
I know who this is because you say the same thing every year because Paul called you out on your thirst post. The irony of who it is makes it even more hilarious.

>>9896376
Do you? You really think you know who someone is on 4chan of all places? Are you 12?

>>9896318
>Parking is a non issue.
> 4 days for $60

AWA parking was free for me when I went 2 years ago. $60 is a lot for parking.

>>9896286
Danielle deleted her post after she fucked up and got caught lying.

>>9896384
Well yeah, you room with us every year. So, what time this year you want to go to the bar and complain?

>>9896409
Parking isn't free anywhere after the stadium was built. Hotel parking is gated and requires a room key and the garages now charge.

>>9896409

It wasn't supposed to be free last year - but it was. This year I'm hearing they are required to charge for parking at the AWA hotel.

>>9896430
So if you stay at the omni or embassy suites you can stay in their garages for free?

>>9896443
Last year it was free. However because of their stupid boneheaded bullshit queue system for reservations this year good luck getting into the embassy.

Are there any photos of the costume contest?

>>9896449
I would like to see.

>>9896444
I checked out the embassy one day. I would really like to stay in one or the other next year if I go because I have to ride Marta all the way from dunwoody

>>9896453
Been staying at embassy for all manner of cons for probably 10 years now. Always recommended because they all have free breakfast, easy parking (Unless some fuckwit dipshit parks outside the lines and fucks up an entire parking line) and happy hour for guests. The rooms ALWAYS have a living area with a pullout couch in addition to the bedroom.

>>9896458
That sounds pretty nice thanks!

>>9896430
There are no gates on the Waverly hotel parking lots. It is still free and chances are it will still be free.

Who else won in the costume contest? Didn't seem like a lot of awards.

>>9896494
TheEverymanArmory won best duo with the Kulu-Ya-Ku twin cosplay from MH World. The Dark Souls guy won another award. Don't know who else won.

>>9896494
Saw a cool WOW costume but I don't think it won anything.

>>9896502
I saw both of those they were really cool

>>9896505
They were pre-movie Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl on Friday and he proposed to her too so they had a really fucking huge weekend.

>>9896507
The MH duo is what I meant.

>>9896507
Oh really wow I didn’t see them propose but I did see their costumes Friday and those incredible suits were nice

>>9896449

But it cuts off the last 10 or so contestants, including the Deathclaw (Best Fabrication Masters) and Pink Diamond (Best Overall Masters)

>>9896578
Looks like they posted more photos then. I think everyone is posted now? I see the Deathclaw and the Pink Diamond.

>>9895296
It's difficult for fulltimers to get there on thursday. Especially since the panel list isn't that great on thursday. Burning a vacation day for friday is tough, but burning two for thursday? Nah.

>>9894331
>t-posing
Didn't know this was the newest meme
>rubber duckies
Someone was handing those damn things out in the dealers room for the hell of it. They're evil geniuses because it worked.

>>9894229
They were way to high strung this year. Never had a problem with them in the past. This year I got flagged and had my fake as fuck nintendo duck hunt gun examined.

>>9892477
Dudes rad as hell, his panel was one of the most exciting ones at the con. Really hope he comes back. I told him if he's thinking of resurrecting characters in travis strikes back for the hell of it, then bring back jeanne.
