Great, now I really want some chips.

It's fucking 1 am buuwwwuuu. ;o;

Maguma, make me some damned chips.

Trail mix. Nom.

seconded

>>1571389
first i got a pineapple to cut, and i'll do you one better and make you latkas

pizza. portable and smells O so good after a long con day. Also useful as a prop if you are dressed as C.C or Dante.

>>1571385
my favorite con foods? fast food, Pizza, Subway sandwiches, hotdogs, croissants, muffins, cheese

I love the Japanese candy they sell at cons, though I'm a fan of the teriyaki cart too. I also like going to local pizza places in costume and returning with a fatty slice of cheese pizza. The rest of the year I'm at home eating raisin toast and drinking apple juice...I wouldn't be surprised if I gained five pounds at a con.

>>1571394
Subway is also amazing.

I don't start a morning at a con without em.

>>1571392
My Nan has a pineapple cutter. Who knows what bargin bin she got that out of, but if I have to eat one more bowl of pineapple to sustain her amusement with it I'm going to have to bury it in the garden (the pineapple cutter, not my Nan).

Currently there's several bowls full of the stuff in the fridge.

room service/hotel restaurants. hotels make the best waffles.

>>1571408
:O you give me all that pineapple and I'll make you chips foreva. I promise <3 i'll bring some from home for AX too~

and you so wanna bury your nan, don't lie |:<

>>1571389
Ai, you don't need French Fries.

I loveee turkey, cheese & lettuce wraps. I make a bunch before I go, and store them in the fridge. :)

>>1571415
Despite the enjoyment she gets from waking me up early in the morning by hoovering outside my door I don't want her dead. :[

My Nan is a bizarre old lady. There's tins of food in the cupboards older than I am and she gets angry when I try to throw stuff away. She's the only person I know to get attatched to six month out of date pickle and a year too old Weatabix (which I should mention tastes exactly like dust).

I usually bring those lunch-to-go Tuna packets, but damn! Those fries look good! I wanna get those at a con. . .

Beef Jerky in general, but the old location for Katsucon had a 24 hour McDonald's right by it, which I loved for 4AM Fillet O' Fish.

>>1571419
.. I don't?

>>1571385
cum on fries and having the girl eat it.

>>1571444
aren't you the romantic

>>1571405
Ohmigod lucky charms in the morning always make me happy

>>1571438
Too fat

>>1571453
Ai fat? Not even.

Since I only go to AX, ramen and sushi at little Tokyo

While absolutely terrible for you, I've always enjoyed those massive muffins that Otis Spunkmeyer is so good at making. The chocolate ones are the best, but only in moderation. I swear, it's like biting into a massive chunk of chocolate and not giving a damn because it tastes so damn good but oh God, where can I get a glass of milk?

>>1571444
Delightful.

>>1571429
I should mention this behaviour isn't restricted to just food either. I went to make myself a lemsip when I had a shitty cold a few weeks ago. It was two years out of date and a nice beige colour instead of yellow. I complain, she hits me with a newspaper, then when I go to throw it away she takes it off me telling me not to be wasteful.

Oh yes, because really old lemsip is really going to make someone feel /better/.

>>1571453
You should probably try telling that to someone who /isn't/ 10lb underweight.

I have no time for eating of a con...

>>1571429
> a year too old Weatabix (which I should mention tastes exactly like dust)

Just like regular Weetabix then :P

>>1571519
I like regular Weatabix! I kid you not, this stuff dissolved into a grey bitter smelling mist before my eyes. Mind you, by the time I've put sugar and shit on mine it may as well have been dust anyway.

>>1571469
I don't only go to AX but I also love the ramen and sushi in Little Tokyo. BOWLS BIGGER THAN YOUR FACE!

I always bring breakfast bars because they are portable. I used to try and bring food to cons, and then I realized I never ate it so now I just bring soda and booze and buy my food.

*hits self for spelling Weetabix wrong twice*

con food? we're supposed to eat at cons?

My group always tends to bring along weaboo food.
Udon noodles with beef was pretty much what I lived off of last year for a "meal".
Trail mix and protein bars are something to carry abouts to eat though.
This year we're all just going out for lunch for mexican food due to Bleach cosplay.

>>1571551
This.

I think on average I managed one burger/pizza/etc during a con and usually a handful of chips. That's pretty much it for the whole con for me usually.

'Course the liquid diet fills the blanks.

>>1571390
Seconded but I make my own Trail Mix and share with random people.

Best is to get a small bag of good quality trail mix then seee what else you would like in it then buy those ingredients then keep mixing. I've got like 6L of custom trail mix made of fucking win and good stuff following an awesome method of making it.

Chocolate covered coffee beans for the muthafucking win. Tho having personally been on those beans for a length of time I can confirm you start to see things after ~3 days (the con) on that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugvVvGUHajs&feature=related

Tho it's best to watch from part 1 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmJ0C1fAlQE ) and cue it to 07:33 for the trail mix start segment.

Good useful info.

I tend to pack my own snacks and food if/when I can then buying food at the con which isn't always good and expensive and small portions. A friend of mine brings US G.I Issue MRE's while I sometimes bring freeze dried food that only needs hotwater and 5 mins to have a good hot meal.

I have used Alpine Aire and thier stuff is pretty good. Best to get it when on sale. http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_listing.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302695547&bmUID=1232

Most hotels I've been too have coffee there or you can aquire hotwater or the hotel room has a coffee pot inside already. Add hot water and you're good to you.

I've had the fries with ketchup when I was at CNAX and I've had Pizza Pizza ordered in at Anime North. Pending how you pack and carry your gear or if you plan on going my route I've had a friend that take a single portable burner stove to the con before and made ramen noodles all weekend and kept his luggage very light weight as he was sharing a room with 8 other people.

Denny's.

Lumberjack slams for the hangovers, or to fill your stomach for a third of the day until I get hungry again.

>>1571402
Tilly ou find out those little brown/black spots on the cheeze or meats from the clerk working there that dropped on the floor then when no one is looking puts it back into the display.

Eggs Benedict every morning of the con.

Lat con I went to I subsisted on lunch and dinner at regular times at the con hotel restaurant, and usually either got the soup or a burger.

Con before that I ate breakfast, forewent lunch and ate dinner.

Other than that- Subway.

>>1571423
Made my own buns and sandwiches and fridged it then freezed some box drinks. The box drinks keep the stuff fresh and having a bunch made I just carry a soft cooler bag to the con with a few large ziplock bags and when I'm at the hotel I load up on the ice and put it inside the cooler which tends to hold everything at a safe temp for about 5-6 hours at a time then I return and reload the ice and end up with noramlly 2 days worth of food and finish that first then on the 3rd day if I have any left I either eat or bin it then use some money for food at the con. Saves me money to use for other sutff.

I try and stay away from the junk food...because it makes me feel like crap.

I am all for large delicious meals for dinner, and smaller yet filling meals for lunch.

as far as breakfast is concerned, I usually eat some granola bars.

>>1571589
Thats why you don't ever fuck with the people who handle your food.

DINNER FOR MAGUMA!

Favorite con food would be whatever the hell I can find that doesn't have meat in it because I'm too lazy to bring my own food. I usually end up eating french fries for lunch and dinner. Bah. It's nice when there's a Chinese restaurant around, so I can just have a tofu substitution.

breakfast burritos, AriZona tea and pizza

>>1571601
I wasn' the only one that comented on that at the Subway so it wasn't a targeted incident on me. I just stayed away from that and when in doubt I tend to stick with fried stuff which at least I know has had high heat oil to cook it. Yes it's not as healthly but at least it is less a risk of some sub stuff with raw items around.

There's a cafe at the one con a year I go to and his has this delicious noodle salad. Con Traditional to have one for lunch on Saturday.

McDonalds
or
Rice with Beef and Broccoli.

>>1571577
interesting. i may try this next time but i'm sticking to hotwater only meals as i have to fly to some cons and fuel tanks i'm almost sure off can't be in carry on luggage or some fuel types can't even be in checked in luggage as well. i tend to without checked luggage myself to cons as in the past ive lost a number of expensive tech/items/luggage/etc. chigacos ohara airport is fucking famous for losing shit all the time.

protip: i've done this a lot while flying and bypass a lot of lineups by declaring at the check in fo rmy tickets that i have firearms. it doesnot have to be a working gun or even looking like a gun. for all intensive purposes a reciever is the acutal gun even if you don't have the barrel, stock, etc.

because you declared that you have to check in firearms you're allowed to lock you bags with non tsa locks but the check in agent will have to check your item to make sure it's unloaded and you'll be scooted to the front of the line and and have you bag scanned quickly and the scanner agent will be noted that your bag has been pre-checked.

this always pisses off people when they're lined up like 100 people in line and you can walk right pass them saving you like an hours line up time. :) when you travel to canada tho you can't use airsoft or real firearms parts to get around the line ups. just buy a cheap ass hard plastic/rubber gun and claim it as a 'theatrical prop' and you get to pass the whole line up.

http://www.thelasthope.org/talks.html and the specific talk which i learned of this and used it when flying is here

http://tinyurl.com/b2tyol

Since my friends and I usually have a lot of spare cash on us, we either order pizza or room service (usually from the children's menu since adult portions are huge).

For snacks, we usually munch on granola bars and/or cookies. We drink lots of water during conventions to keep ourselves hydrated.

At night: BOOZE.

Anything not from the convention center itself. Fuckers charge an arm and a leg just for a damn hot dog.

I usually forget to eat and subsist entirely on soda.

>>1571630 http://tinyurl.com/b2tyol

I'm listening to this right now. The guy sounds like he knows his air travel shortcuts well. I'm only 5 mins into the talk and this guy has a lot of useful info.

I tend to have pizza at the cons but I'm always on a budget and saving money for other stuff that I like. One way to save money to use elsewhere at the con ( like food ) is not to spend on a fancy hotel room that you'll only spend 4-6hours in resting only and paying like $120/night.

Shit, now I'm hungry.

>>1571630
THANK YOU!! I have a friend thinking of going to other cons and planning to cosplay some characters that carry guns. Very useful and handy info to know.

Overpriced cheese and ham baggette from one of the con stalls, expensive but fucking awesome for a hangover while cosplaying.

Chinese takeout after the con closes.

I usually bring the bologna lunchables (GOD, I love those things) and freeze them beforehand and stick 'em in a cooler.
I also bring along Slimfast like drinks, since they're quick and easy, and I'm not gorging on junk food.
But after a long day of walking around in costume, sometimes the best things in piping hot piiiizza.
And now I'm hungry.

Oatmeal creme pies.
Food of the gods.

If it's masquerade day I eat whatever I can get my hands on that won't kill me in the little time I have.

Spam masubi and rice balls saves my life at con time. Other than that soda, the closest fast food joint and Denny's.

FAVORITE con foods? Well, I tell you I can't start my days at a con without a damn good breakfast. Usually its not important to me, but at a con I just get in this really weird mood where I can't even face the day without a solid breakfast. Maybe its because I spend the rest of the day eating (or sometimes not eating) junk food and slugging down soda. But anyway...

Yah. A solid breakfast with a nice plate of eggs, some hot black coffee and a side of toast is pretty much con food heaven on saturday morning.

Titties and beer

I bring apples, peanut butter, bread, pudding cups, croissants (and jam packets I steal from work), the occasional Cup Noodle (cheddar is my favorite), Capri Suns, bottled water...

If we're buying food, we'll order a pizza for the room or go to McDonald's or whatever in costume. Because I rarely eat fast food, it's a treat now and then. McDonald's fries taste like heaven when you're famished. Also, fuck you, OP, now I've got to run by McD's after work and get some. :<

>>1572000
CHEDDAR CUP OF NOODLES FUCK YAR

Well my girlfriend loves my cooking (I'm a whitey who cooks korean food, learnt from my mom).

So whenever it comes to cons I cook for both of us and bring the food. Sure you need to carry around a case all day, but we can leave for awhile, go to a park and have a nice little picnic =3

Here's a selection of what's on our pre-con shopping list...
Breakfast: Honey Nut Cheerios/Corn Pops, Brown sugar cinnamon Pop Tarts, instant oatmeal
Lunch: EZ Mac, bread+peanut butter+jelly, ramen
Snacks: Doritos, big ol' carton of Goldfish, CheezIts
Drinks: Arizona green tea, Gatorade, vitamin water

We always eat out for dinner.
But my hotel room never goes hungry, goddammit.

At a-kon theres a food court area with a decent selection.
Mostly thought my group had kfc, pizza, taco bell or sandwhiches.

If the hotel room has a coffeepot, I'll bring teabags. I'm not motivated enough to bring my own coffeepot...

Granola bars, water, and tea! :D

Coke.

Nothing else.

People eat at cons!? Since when!?

>>1573100
Smart people eat at cons. We also bathe and sleep.

I usually hit up places like McDonalds and Subway.
Occasionally, at Fan Expo, I'll head down to the front of the north building to visit the street vendors.
At animaritime, I'll make two must stop dinners:
Mexicali Rosas and
On saturday night Lone Star Grill. I only visit Lone Star, because they've got a top shelf margarita.
Which is a margarita with three shots of tequila in it and a shot of Contreau and Something else on the side. Makes for a very alcholic evening, and both of these places are accross the street from the con.

>>1571577
+5 on MRE's (Meal Ready to Eat) and +5 on just-add-hot-water full meals.

MRE's are ideal if for some reason some dimentional rift happens and overcharges all the pokemon cosplayers to black out 14 blocks around the con thne yah you have a meal to eat without needing hot water hence MEAL READY TO EAT.

Tho at a con you can find hotwater ANYWHERE. I've even went to the resturant asking for some hotwater and they gave it to me. Heck even hot water from the tap (last resort) can cook the just add hot water meals mind you it will take a bit longer then using boiled hot water.

I prefer to bring my own food as I prefer not to eat junk food when I can.

Denny's
Trailmix
It's not good for you in the least but McDonald's
Starbucks.


And a little secret thing that one of my stoner friends made up the McStoner:

1.Order the double cheeseburger and the McChicken
2. Remove bottom bun of McChicken
3. Place the rest of the McChicken in between the two hamburger patties of the double.
4. Eat
5. ????
6. Heart attack.

Ohayocon: Subway

ACen: Buy stuff before con.

AX: Subway

Otakon: Con Concession Stands

Youmacon: Subway

I don't eat. I can't eat. I get so excited that I'm at the convention that the mere smell of food makes me ill.

>>1573254
I'm the same way.

I usually just stick to fruit.. It's cheap, easy to carry, and doesn't give you a tummy ache like some of the other foods can. Definately most convenient, and tasty since most of the fruit are in season.

astronaut food for me is good at the con. healthy and I can just suck it up while i am on the go.

one reason why my bf and i wear cargo pants when at the cons. easy to store food in the pockets to nibble on to restore the blood sugars and eep you leveled out.

>>1573234

That's a McGangbang.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=McGangbang

Chinese food. Just because near the hotel's that the two conventions i go to here yearly there is a all you can eat buffet for like 6 bucks.

Shit's so cash

Subway $5.00 footlongs. Eat 6" one meal, 6" another.
$2.50 for a decent meal is very reasonable (I mean c'mon they sell protein bars for more these days).

Oh and depending where you are, Mexican food is cheap and godly. Pic extremely related.

those fries look godly...

>>1573316
CILANTRO. DO WANT.

gallons of gatorade.
i can't live without that shit when i'm cosplaying...

>>1573304
I carry enough meals for 3 days.

1. Home made chow mein with chinese bbq pork, soy sauce, bean sprouts, eggs, red/green peppers, and green onion.

One bag of chow mien makes 3 generous meals with all items combined. Cost $5 for me.

2. Home made fried rice with chinese bbq pork, egg, soy sauce, mixed grean giant frozen veggies, and green onion.

Cost for me $5 and makes 4 generous meals. I freeze the rice as it stays frozen better.

3. 1 x tub of gatorade, 1 x gatorade bottle (700ish ml and a perfect one scoop to bottle ratio wrap a piece of paper and it works as a funnel for the power to drop into the bottle), and 1 x camelbak while I fill with plain water.

4. Trail mix and/or granola bars

5. 3 packs of ramen (spicy seafood udon by NongShim because you get a larger portion of noodle)

6. Frozen fruit drink boxes which also act as coolent for the food

7. I work at a grocery store and have access to dry ice which I use to extend the cooling of the foods.

8. A soft cooler bag IMHO is the best in my experience (trail and error) and all hotels have ice to extend cool time.

9. A few packets of instant flavored oatmeal.

I just have the oatmeal in the morning then take a out of the cooler and keep it in the bag while I'm going to events. Because it's frozen it takes about 3 hours to defrost as I put 2 box drinks next to it so it slowly defrosts. That way I can have lunch when I want. I can speed it up by taking the drinks away from the food. Easy and the rest of the money I use on anime.

Sushi.
I love sushi, preferably sake-maki.
Weeaboo, I know, but it's Sushi.

But if I am out of money, a cheeseburger is fine too.

>>1573368
I prefer sake nigiri. Or sashimi. Just gimme a big ol' slab of raw salmon and I'm happy. Love salmon so much.

>>1573363
Yeah, I bring a cooler bag along as well. Certainly easier to pack than hauling a big plastic cooler along.

>>1573272
So it is, but they were high when they thought they came up with it, so it's the McStoner in my mind.

>>1573387

well, I like the taste of the seaweed as well (but only if the sushi is freshly made)- but sake-nigiri are nice too.
Oh and I forgot to mention that I adore the pickled ginger.

Dammit, I'm hungry now!

>>1573387
i knew a friend that rolled 2 x 100L something hard cased coolers at anime north one year. fully loaded with food and ate like a king with some friends of his. thing was he carted all that via the subway which i was amazed. my bf was friends with them so when i got invited to a room party i was shocked by the coolers and amount of food. crazy otakus will always find a way.

I usually eat what's available in the convention food court/whatever is close by, but if I get up early enough, any kind of breakfast foods. I tend to not eat that much during conventions though.

I sneak jacks and 40's and room party with it then rape the drunk girls who I dare to down a bottle of jacks that actually do. No need for drugs there and the ass is still tight.

>>1573435
Fuck yeah, I love the gari. My friends look at me weird when I just nibble on that by itself.

...Now I'm hungry too, fortunately I have a banana.

>>1573436
...Daaamn

>>1573468

Care to share your banana?
I just have chocolate (and lactose intolerance oh wow).

crock pots are the way to go for cons

>>1573674
Interesting. Show up with a crock pot with frozen meat veggies, and rice and you're set. I don't think the hotel can say anything about it because it's the same as a coffee pot I would think in the brewing and holding the temp over a long time.

I may try that out next con along with some ideas here with the cooler thing. Given that you'll be at the con for like 8 hrs You can slow cook for 4 hours then have lunch then rinse it out in the shower then make another batch for dinner later. Cool idea.

>>1573460
asshole my friend was drunk sexed before by shitheads like you.

I bring enough Luna bars with me to last me the whole con in case something goes wrong and I'm unable to purchase/find crazy vegan food.

Other than that, Pringles and Subway, Quiznos if I can find it. All this talk of Chinese take-out gives me ideas for the future.

And for AX, there's this ~awesome~ little vegan Japanese place in Little Tokyo called Shojin. I want to marry that establishment.

It is ritual, I must find a Chipotle near any con' I go to.

Beef jerky if I can manage it. Lots of water. Mostly fruit. That's about it.

Emergen-C and water in the morning, Emergen-C and vodka at night. Rinse and repeat.

Gatorade
Bawls
Cheez-Its
Fred Flinstone Vitamins

The breakfast of champions.

Since I'm a Canadafag, there's Tim Hortons everywhere.
That's usally were I will go to get a coffee and a muffin and that will proably fill me for a whole day. I mean, it's a con, I forget I'm hungry

cup noodles.... all 3 days

I forget to eat.

>>1575176
This

for my friends and me I make scrambled eggs and hash browns to eat on the way to the con

for lunch we snack on chips, candy, and jerky with sodas. I usually get some ramune, or a blue jolt cola.

then we dont eat dinner till after we leave for the night, last time we drove to jack in the box and got a ton of cheap tacos since we all spent to much at the con

i pack sandwiches and a small thermos for ramen as someone mentioned already about getting boiled water at the con andkeeping it hot in my bag.

Soft serve icecream from the icecream truck all three days. Less washroom time

anything thats not messy

Oh god I am so incredibly hungry right now...

>>1575383

Have some of my sausage then, it tastes good if you suck it

Oranges. Every con I go to, I must have oranges. Like, 20 of them.

this is a godsend. don't even need to heat it.

Tim Horton's.

>>1575473

Fuck yea Tim Horton's!

>>1575395
That stuff smells like poverty.

>>1575481
well unless you're just some lil weeaboo faggot who gets whatever they want from their mommy and daddy, then yeah, most convention goers save all their money all year just for conventions. First bit of money goes towards the badge, then the room, then the con itself. and last, the food. I tend to bring ramen and use the coffee maker to get boiling water for it. Thats if I even eat at all.

Oranges, beef jerky, soymilk, and special K bars.
And we always bring a 24pack of water bottles.

/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>1573107
IAWTC

For the love of God, just because you're at a hotel for the weekend doesn't mean eating, sleeping and bathing gets thrown out the window.

>>1575497
/cgl/ - Cosplay & Conventions

Nobody gives a shit about EGL anymore.

Breakfast options:
-Bagel
-Pop tarts
-Fruit
-Starbucks double shot
-Cereal bars/nutrigrain bars
-Continental breakfast if the hotel has it

Lunch and dinner options:
-Pre packed tuna and mayo packets and bread
-Multiple cans of pringles
-Box of triscuits/cheeze-its/pretzels
-Cup noodle
-Goober PB&J with bread
-Instant yakisoba
-Chef Boyardee (need microwave- yes I've eaten it cold before)
-Easy Mac or easy hamburger helper (need microwave, duh)

I also try to eat out at least a couple of times during the weekend.

>>1575486
Or unless you're, you know, a fucking adult and you work and make money.
A convention trip should only cost two-, three-hundred tops if played correctly, all-inclusive.

If you have to save up all year for that, you better stop asking mommy for allowance and get a job, kid. You'll thank yourself when you don't get sick after a convention due to malnourishment.

>>1575528
I'm an adult too, imagin that. I suppose we can't all have the fortune of having a great job and not having to support a family. Most my money goes to bills and to my kids education. After that I'm able to save up bit by bit just to go to a convention and hope not to run into people like you who have life so easy that you make one simple luxury for the rest of us seem so insignificant.

>>1575528

I am an adult with a good paying job, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying some chef mini raviolis. I could waste $15+ on a food by eating out every meal, but it just seems dumb.

>>1575536

>>and hope not to run into people like you who have life so easy

Quit being a fucking baby and crying about it. You're not happy with how your life is progressing...fix it.

>>1575536
Ah. Kids. My apologies, I'm quick to vent and rage today and overlooked that possible situation.

I've had enough parenting my younger siblings that I'll pass on that aspect of life in the future and stick to living for myself...

>>1575560
If only it were so easy.

>>1575560
I love my life actually. I'm actually in the middle of opening my own bussiness. Just because money is tight doesn't make it horrible. And even after my cosplay cafe is up and running, i know i'll still be tight on money because the money doesn't matter. Its a passion and something i love doing. So just like going to conventions, even if I have to "suffer" with my poverty, I'll enjoy the time I have. I doubt you'll ever understand that feeling.
>>1575563
As for my kid, i'll admit he was a surprise, but I have had more fun then I thought. He is sweet, and though a handfull sometimes, i know he means well. I'm hopeing to bring him to a con soon not that he is old enough to understand what all is going on and truly enjoy it.

This is why women shouldn't be allowed on 4chan. Half the threads on this board aren't even cosplay. It's just stupid high school gossip and irrelevant fluff threads about cons.

This is an imageboard about cosplay. If you want to talk about food go to /ck/.

>>1575481
I used to use the canned stuff and while it is good for instant eats (if you're not like my fucking mate who forgot the fucking john-wayne that time and having to look for someone with a swiss army knife in the con was quite the adventure and brow raiser when they hear you asking to open cans. Thank you you kawaii nekogirl who kept a swiss army on her! I WOO JOO!) it adds up quickly in weight for a weekend of rations.

I switched to MRE's but man some of those things taste REAL bad. I think the turkey and gravy one sucked donkey ass and nuts. While lighter then the cans it is a real ready to eat meal to stop the pain but the good stuff is the freeze dried stuff at camp stores.

The BEST I've found are the camp store freeze dried meals. Always good to buy them on sale and buy a few of the ones you like and save them for the cons. They are good up for 3yrs from print date. I think those army MRE's are only good up to 5yrs but then again I'm not eating a 5yr old egg salad sandwich. O_o;;

SO if you go with cans don't forget the fucking John Wayne.

>>1575816
>>1575816

What makes you think this is the work of women numb nuts?

>>1575497
Conventions are related to CGL & EGL. As long as there is a tie into the the two the post/thread here counts.

Unless there is some odd ass thread about how to fix the car and the car problems and the poster is not even cosplaying or having someone repairing the car cosplay some anime/comic/game character.

>>1575957
The car repair could be relevant if it's from Inital D. Or it's the Blue Falcon.

I DONT EAT DURING CONS ITS TEMPORARY ANOREXIA

>>1575520 -Chef Boyardee (need microwave- yes I've eaten it cold before)
-Easy Mac or easy hamburger helper (need microwave, duh)

This has been done before by some people as well as myself. plug the bath tub and then plug the sink. WHen you take your shower put the can on the shower floor and take your shower. The heat will penerate into the can.

After the shower runhotwater in the sink and keep the can there while you finish freshing up yourself and get clothed. Then go back to the sink and remove the can and give it a rinse off then open up and you will have a warm meal.

I usually come close to starving myself during cons, in fact I have to force-feed myself because for a brief period of time it's like I don't experience any sensation of hunger. I do get crazy thirsty though, and a delicious refreshing drink is like heaven.

Nah dude, those EZ mac cups? You can just use hot water from the coffee pot like you do for Ramen.

Nice tip for canned stuff though, that's pretty brilliant!

I don't see how asking stupid questions about conventions and food has to do with this board.

Likewise here. Friends know I've a good high paying job but I'm commited to my goal of retiring early (currently 28 but investments projected at age 40, no debt, no car, no auto insurance, no rent (able to steath live in my office 80% of the time), no home insurance, but only keep health insurance only) so I save as much as I can. Even at cons I'd rather spend it on anime, food, and helping out starving artists in the artist alley with a little extra tipping to the cost of thier artwork then on hotel costs.

To the anon that posted the cost of $200-300 it is about right on the amount. IMHO it's more adjusted to $250-350 for the extra travel and tipping.

Yah it's called using your resources and not wasting the already spent heat and able to do two things at once. The reason fo rthe sink is so you can add new heat and clean water to the can to lossen up the wash water. The final rinse is just to clean the can off. Easy and works. I have a new friend that is a camper and I always thought those portable stoves cost like $100 bucks each WITHOUT FUEL but to my shock and surprise my new con friend told me of a $20 personal stove that attaches to a small one time use fuel tank that comes with stove which I was amazed. The guy told me one tank was able to be used for 3 meals/day for for 6 conventions in 2 yrs time. Not a bad investment for $20 with fuel. New tanks cost ~$7/ea.

He said it can cook cans as well. Something I'm thinking of for my future con goings.

Here's a creative tip for people who attend cons in REALLY hot places (south Texas lol):

Get some canned food like soup and Chef B crap and take it out to the parking lot. Place the can, opened, on the top/hood/back of a black or dark blue car and wait a few minutes.

TADA! A warm meal! The longer you leave it, the hotter it'll get. Just keep an eye on it so nothing gets to it.
