I gave EBK my e-mail address. A mistake that will forever haunt me.

Some drunk projectile-puked on me outside the Friday night dance at Anime Expo 2002.

lost my Ipod at this past Sakuracon :(

Anime Boston 2008.

excuse me, I meant to say linecon. My mistake.

This thread sucks. Post moar stories.

At Anime Iowa, my friend and I went back to our hotel room. Our keys did not work. We tried several times. We got the desk lady to try to master card key, then a real key, and then she had someone get a crowbar and pry our room open.

We asked for a new room, and they informed us they were all full (understandable). They then informed us that we would not be given any kind of refund or discount, even though our door was broken, and we would just have to ask the front desk to crowbar it open/closed every time we left the room.

See, the door would CLOSE--it just wouldn't open again. They tried to give up this nasty lecture about propping open the door with the flip lock when we went to go get breakfast and put shit in the car the next day. Seriously? Do you WANT us to hassle your desk person ten or eleven times right before checkout after a con? Really?

Anime Iowa was pretty good besides that.

>>1822119
What. This happened to me at a Hilton hotel a few years ago and they just changed the lock.

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear there're prissy, wine all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don't think sow
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'
you could have heard a pin drop

staying with djranmas.

For a black guy who acts like a white kid who moved from the burbs to the hood, he sure has some Mexican standards when it comes to hotel rooms.

>>1822254
how so?

>>1822250
At one of his infamous room parties, he kept trying to feed my 17 tear old sister alcohol and trying to hit on her after I told him to stop and that she had a boyfriend. I also witnessed him copping a feel on a couple other young girls. Why hasn't he been banned from cons or arrested for this shit?

>>1822262
Imagine trying to put 8 people in a 3 door Honda Civic hatchback. That's what being in a DJ Ranma S room is like.

>>1822283
I always thought it was more like fitting more then 3 fat people into a mini-coop.

Otakon last year. I was in a room organized through internets and forums. It consisted of four girls(including myself) and two guys. The girls were cool. One of the two guys was cool. One guy was like this smooth, laid back guy who had no trouble making conversation. His friend was a little akward but whatever, who isn't? I unpacked and asked if anyone wanted to grab some grub. The akward one stood up. We're talking as we ate at burger king. Everything was good until I said "I'm so glad my boyfriend got time off for this weekend." He didn't say anything, he just put his food in the bag and walked away. I shouldn't have said that. By the time I got back we all had to fork up more cash because the guy left for someone else's room before paying us for the room. To make things worse the guy stalked me that weekend, even taking his methods physical by throwing punch filled water baloons at me.

>>1822376
Forgive me, but I lol'd. What a dickhead. What did his friend do? Did he at least try to talk his friend back to sanity?

Not an anime convention, but stll relevant. Random local fantasy/scifi convention with a small anime element. Vampire Larpers were allowed to make their debut back to the con after an almost 8 year absence because they decided to literally kidnap a pizza boy and make him part of their sick little game.

Out of morbid curosity and because I wasn't drunk yet I decided to go see how bad these people were, and oddly making friends with a small group of the more well known members of that larp community.

Fast forward to later in the night, I'm still underageb& on alcohol so i'm hovering outside of the offical con booze party (drunk mind you from my friends who i was pissed at that moment) and I run into the same guys and they are all HEY MAN YOU WANNA GET SOMETHING ELSE TO DRINK.

So we to this small room on the other side of the hotel, and as soon as we open up the door there is a fat chick (huge as sin) doing some really bizaare bdsm shit with knifeplay and etc. on some morbidly skinny guy. Everyone just sits down and watches.

I leave that room shortly later to go to a room of MORE vampire larpers who were supposed to be having a party. As soon as another guy lets me in BAM two naked fat chicks.

>>1822376
lemme guess, cosplay.com forum?

>>1822376
Otakon and Cosplay.com forums. Also no his friend did nothing.

>>1822291
mini coops have a lot of space in them, actually.

>>1822386
underage bann

>>1822386
Whoa...how long ago was this and what con was that? Shit reminds me of this rennfaire I went to. I nearly got raped when I went into this room full of obese fat women, each of them naked and fucking a handfull of skinny guys. I fit their target criteria. Skinny, pasty white and within arm's reach. I was contemplating leaping off the balcony(the room was only on the 2nd floor) to escape when the front door became blocked off by this beached whale riding some poor bastard on the floor in front of the exit.

Recipe for a hellish con: Staying with an ex who lives a good 20 minutes away from the con(I'm a free agent who likes to wander around and hit up all the really late night panels and viewings) and only wants to go home and play WoW the entire time.

Acen last year. Was pretty sick on Friday but determined to soldier through. Also, the average line-wait for on-site registration was eight hours.

I was in line next to a cute girl who shared an obscure fandom with me. But I was hacking up goo and had no voice. ;_;

And then when I was trying to enjoy some anime in the viewing room in the wee hours of the hour, this security creepy was going around every 5 minutes and leaning really close to everyone's faces to make sure they were awake.

This one started loooong before the con did.

I went to go to the London MCM Expo last year with a couple of friends, me and one of the guys, let the other guy plan it because he had ways of getting us 2 nights of accomidation, with breakfast for £36, and train fares for not that much.

So we let him do it.

First of all we me and the other guy not planning it, had to join AnimeLeague in order to get these great discounts. Which were still £36 so we thought, not bad. Then he booked the train tickets, but there were two things wrong with them 1. They cost £70 2. We had to leave early on the second day. Of course this pissed me off because the only reason I was staying overnight was so I could go to the second day. So in addition to buying these expensive tickets, I had to get a First class single for the way back for £35, because they ran out of standard class tickets, since the football was on at wembely and everyone from Hull wanted to go back home.

So having spent an enourmous amount of money, I thought the headache was over, it was not

We had to travel on the friday, and because of the way things were scheduled we had to go 30 minutes after I had a German exam. so that meant brining all my bags to the exam hall, and a quick dash across town.

When we eventually got to London, on the day before we found that we were staying in a hostel in Hendon Central. Which on the other side of London compared to the ExCeL center.

The hostel wasn't that bad, everyone in there was awesome and I had a great time, but fucking shit I could not sleep at night because there was about 5 people snoring in the kind of way that you think they have breathing difficulties.

1/2

So at 6 AM, with no sleep, and jumped up on Caffiene, I decided to drag my two shitheads out of bed and go to the con early. So we got up, changed in the mediocre bathroom facilities, and got on the Tube.

Because there was works on the DLR, as there always is because transport for London is full of retarded people who do not know how to schedule anything right, and then wonder why nobody wants to use public transport anymore, we had to take the Northern line, down from Hendon Central, to Tower Bridge, the Jubilee line to Canning Town, and then the DLR to Custom House, it took well over an hour. Since the Northern line is above ground when it starts in Hendon, it was raining heavily, when we emerged, it was SUNNY. That's how long we spent on the underground.

So waited then forever in the line at the Expo, which never seemed to move at all before finally getting let in at 11 AM. And I was very swiftly out because it was fucking boiling in the convention hall. Jesus christ, I had a trenchcoat on as well, so I had to sit outside most of the time, drinking water, to keep myself from overheating.

The Con itself was fine, I had a great time, met up with old friends etc. etc. etc.

Then another hour back on the Tube, to the cramped hostel, in which I forced myself to sleep by consuming all the liquor I could find until I was unconcious. Woke up the next morning, went to the con again, and faced the most retarded trip back ever.

Had to get the Tube from Custom house, all the way to Hendon, and then back down again to Kings Cross, even with 2 hours to spare, I only made it in time for my train by about oh, 3 minutes. So of course I didn't have time to change, and spent an awkward two hours sitting at a table full of businessmen as I went home.

tl;dr full of suck and piss, now I shell out shit loads of cash so I can sleep in a room on my own at night and feel nice and happy about going to a con.

>>1822438
it's B& newfag, and I was 20 AT THE TIME. It was two years ago hurrr

>>1822439
two years, a local small time always on the verge of closing down midwest state-specific local sci-fi/fantasy convention.

>>1822427
Not when its packed with 4 fat people. At that point it's hell.

Bump.

>>1822417
I imagined this pic for the guy that stalked you when you mentioned your BF. Terrible I know but fuck I cant stop laughing

This is a repost. But a horror story from this year comes from Anime Oasis. I went to the rave with my friends and we had our own little circle thing going. Suddenly, this sweaty guy dressed as Kamina comes up with his creepy friend who was a sweaty Zidane. They start dancing with us and after a while, they start to get a bit too friendly.

My friend tried to move away from him and it resulted in the Kamina grabbing her tank top straps and yanking her back.
This guy is the one and only Purple Kamina.

>>1823371

Ew.

Back at Katsucon 08 I had to deal with a stalker. This guy was following me and my friends throughout day 0. He tagged along with us even though we tried to not acknowledge him. He came with us to Chipotle,and sat at our table. He put his hand around my shoulder at the booth and I just lost it,chucking my burrito bowl into his face. He began yelling like a bitch, I'm guessing because the green tabasco sauce got in his eyes(I doused the bowl with it). I saw him the following day, his eyes still red and puffy from the sauce. When he saw me, he beelined for the bar to avoid me.

Wish I could have seen this.

>>1823565
WTF is up with dumbshit female cosplayers not confronting stalkers until they end up exploding into violent rage? Even if you're too much of a pussy to directly tell him that you hate being anywhere near him, couldn't you just have lied and said that you had other friends joining you at the booth so there was no space and so GTFO?

Enough crazy guy stories. Here's one from the male spectrum. I barely made it to Anime Next last year, what with lack of room and the fact that my car had been stolen the week before. I got extremely lucky, my friend being the saint he is squeezed me into his room at the Hyatt place, and my dad let me borrow his car(something I thought he'd never do since he babies the thing.)

I was cosplaying Dante, and after about 90 minutes of pictures and poses I was ready to take a break. Me and my friend walked to the car, but we were being followed by these two.underage girls that kept spouting "you just lost the game" and chanting for us to Yaoi with each other. By the time we reached my car, I told them flat out "leave us alone, you are getting on my last fucking nerve!". They walked away, with a pissed look on their faces.

Later on that night they managed to crash the party we were attending. The one kept trying to push her drunken self on me. I flipped out, losing my temper. She left out crying.

The next morning I'm awakened by my friend dragging me out the bed and to the parking lot, getting there and seeing the convertible top on my dad's two month old Audi S4 shredded to ribbons, and the seats sliced in every which way. I was fuming mad. I filled out the police report and had to leave the con early to bring the car back to the adjuster. They never found the people who did it since the rooftop has like virtually no cameras.

Kumoricon 2004 Bakazoku Joe hugged me without permission.

I still have scars.

>>1823635
I imagine this was your dad's face. Shitsux. Did it ever get fixed?

>>1823637
Who? And how do you have scars from a hug? Was he wearing a spiked jacket or something?

>>1823635

cool story bro

>>1823635
See, female cosplayers? See how he used his words first instead of resorting to hitting? Learn from this man what you somehow failed to learn in playschool.

>>1823635
>dad's two month old Audi S4
Did they steal the Gamecube and the 12 pack of Natty Ice you had sitting in the back seat?

>>1823651
fffffff

>>1823668
>playschool.
You mean preschool.

>>1823668
My god, even in her pre-baby mama/Greg days she was a fugmo.

>>1823678
You know where I can find more pictures of this bunch? Please, do tell. I don't know which one from that picture you're talking about, but either way she's one of the best of the bunch. The one on the right here looks like she needs rehab.

>>1823668

He got his dad's car vandalized. She had the guy head for the hills when he saw her. Not the best example to use there, buddy

>>1823719
>>1823694
>>1823668
...why?

>>1823729
i was singing a song while scrolling, and then I saw this and it broke my concentration

>>1823729
I dunno, man. Second from the right looks like she might have a nice face. That's where we're looking at, right?

>>1823637
Best story in this thread.

>>1823700
When did he "head for the hills" when he saw her?

- He left the photoshoot because he'd been posing for 90 minutes.
- SHE left the party after he told her off.
- He left the con early to get his dad's car fixed with the stalker girls nowhere in sight.

Yes, letting a stalker follow you to your car, hotel room, or actual home is stupid, but at least he wasn't too much of a pussy to say anything to her before blinding the bitch with Mexican food.

Katsucon 09
Me and a few friends had to deal with the biggest douchebag on day 0 who wouldn't shut up about his Porshe Boxster that he had to valet. He tagged along with us to dinner and continued to tell cool stories about how he came up with a genius screenplay after a night of doing Blow, and how he sent a letter to the Smithsonian because by his observation, they set up the stegosaurus skeleton incorrectly. I was already tipsy, so I had some tolerance for his BS, but I felt sorry for Katsu and Soni for having to deal with him straightface sober.

>>1823765
LOL. Fuck, that dude was a DICK. HIS JACKET DID NOT FIT. Why the fuck would you dress up and talk about your super fucking cool Porsche when you can't even afford a proper fitting suit jacket ffffffffffffff

Who's this DJ Ranma, does he come out to AX? Reading posts about him has given me an urge to crash into one of his room parties and beat him up.

Are these from a porn game or something? Or did they just decide to dress like whore bunnies for Otakon for lack of a better cosplay idea?

>>1823647
It did. Vandalism is part of our insurance policy, so they replaced the top and the seats. It made a month long inconvenience because my dad and I had to use our roofing van for every day use since my car was stolen, his was in the shop, and he got stiffed on a loaner car.

I went to AWA last year. Vic Mignogna in a Wondertwins bodysuit.

Scariest. Shit. Ever.

>>1823785
No, he's strictly east coast from as far as I know. hide your little sisters.

>>1823777
<---My face when I saw that Xtra Medium jacket squeezing the air out his lungs.
Who was he talking about when he said that he'd hit it so hard, it would take five guys to pull him out?

OH GOD. I just noticed that there's a middle aged man in the same kind of black and white outfit as the bunnies in the background of this picture. Did one of the whore bunnies get her dad to join the group? What's wrong with these people? I mean, I don't blame the parents for not realizing what they were going to wear at the con, but...

>>1823792
They look underaged, so probably an excuse to dress like sluts.

>>1823810
SEY. Like.. dude.. seriously, he had less than 0 chance of hitting that. So fucking hilarious. What a douchebrofag.

>>1823812
They were supposed to be mascots for some convention photography website or something.

>>1823635
By the way, if they ever bother you again and you end up needing to send them a restraining order...

>>1823825
LOL SEY.
>he had less than 0 chance of hitting anything without paying.
Slight adjustment.

>>1823765
>stories about how he came up with a genius screenplay after a night of doing Blow

Odds are its probably something pretentious and stupid

>>1823835
Damn, I just literally went through my Katsucon folder to see if there was at least one picture of this douchebag and got reminded that there are at least 20 pictures of another douchebag. Goddamn :<

>>1823847
lol he's probably on thomas' OB page.

>>1823800

Then he brutally murdered the little guy in the Fai costume. Poor kid, he was cute.

Photo from coscom.

I don't have much, but...there's just something I feel responsible for and I'm fairly sure that it made some people's days suck.

So it's Sakuracon, yeah? Pre-reg line on Friday, maybe between 2 to 3. My girl and I are there to pick up our all weekend passes, shop around a bit, then go home. Now, the line's long and everyone is doing everything he/she possibly can to keep from being too bored.

One of the things being done is dicking around on pictochat.

I decide to get in there and see what's up, and it's all trolling. Trolling OUT THE ASS. So I leave. Not my thing, yeah?

A little bit later, these two guys behind me start talking about pictochat and wishing that they'd brought their own DS so that they could dick around on pictochat, too. I think "Oh, hey, just some harmless fun, right?" and hand him my DS. Upon getting into the chat room, the guy borrowing my DS then proceeds to call everyone a nigger before drawing penis after penis after penis. Me in all of my stupidity thinks this is kinda funny, and so I encourage him a little and tell him to draw the penis this way and that way and so on and so forth.

But then he starts yelling penis, and so does his friend, and then my girl does it. I don't remember if I did it. I don't think I did, but I have this bad habit of imagining things the wrong way just so I don't have to remember them anymore. So anyway, the penis artist starts talking about how cool it would be to get everyone to start yelling penis.

1/2

My second convention, I'm still underaged, and my Mom thinks I should bring a friend, because she thought if I went alone I would be miserable. I cave, and select a girl who at that point in time, had a great connection with.

So, we go to the con, and our Moms switched off guard duty, which mainly consists of sitting in the lobby, because, hey we're smart girls, we can handle ourselves.

Anyway. She meets a boy. Immediatly the public displays of affection begin, I have a coronary, and actually recruit two random con goers to help me tail them to make sure that they don't do anything retarded. Eventually one of the two recruits convinces me that they won't do anything stupid, they're smart kids, so I wander off, join a glomp circle (I think this was the first glomp circle ever btw, so in some small part I'm apart of the bane of all conventions), get lost because they kicked us onto the tennis court, get found, go home, sleep, and generally feel like an embarrassed ass for letting my penchant for hugging people worry my parents.

Next day, final day, I'm wandering about, getting in some last pictures, enjoying PV's, and then my friend comes out of the bathroom, and looking distressed. I say "What's wrong?"

And then she drops the bomb. She had had sex with that boy.

I run to the bathroom and try and formulate what to do next. We were both Christians then, so I try and stay calm, and comfort her, and tell her not to do it again and that she needs to talk to the big G about it. She makes me promise not to tell anyone.

I was miserable for months until I finally caved and told my Mom. To this day, her Mom still doesn't know, and the girl is Germany-fag lesbian.

>>1823883
Now, I was fine with the pictochat trolling. Sure, I was uncomfortable with it because I don't troll, but I can't deny that at least in the heat of the moment I found it amusing. But when he started yelling penis at the top of his lungs and people started responding, I realized that I'd become "that guy" at the con. The dude in the troll group starting shit for the sake of starting shit. I'd dug my own grave and hit myself in the head with my own shovel, then hit my head on the gravestone on the way down into the hole.

What made it all worse was the couple of looks I got from people, especially this one guy behind us. He was a dad with a Captain Hammer shirt, and he had his little girl, probably only 5 or 6 years old, dressed as Terra from Teen Titans. Cute kid, probably a cool dad. I caught a glance of his look and it was a mix of disgust and frustration.

If any of you were there, sorry.

>>1823826
It turns out there's a whole gallery of them.

http://otakupics.com/bunnies/bunniesa.htm

Yeah, Round Face Bunny and Token Minority Bunny are definitely the hottest. I'm sure there's an interesting story behind how someone thought dressing teenagers up in bikini bottoms was an appropriate way to advertise a con gallery site.

Moar?

my first time as conops, I made a time estimate to people standing in line. I was off by an hour. the guest of honor was getting drunk or something. meanwhile there were a few hundred people in line outside the building for the masquerade.

I didn't recognize the guest of honor the year before (before I was promoted to ops) and didnt let her into the dealers room because she forgot her badge.

>>1823875
Not so bad. His Capt. Kirk and the Storm Trooper pilot ones were better. Not saying much, but still.

>>1823901
Who was it, anyway? Just some artsy person or something?

One year at our local comic con, we had a big huge evangelion group (we had just about the entire cast, it was a big group) where i was Asuka. A passerby asked us for photo's so we lined up together so we could do as asked.

Near the are there was a small pond - about 30ft by 30ft with ducks swimming around inside and about a half inch of water. Needless to say the photographer asked up to line up on the rocks (which where about a foot above the pond) in order to get a really nice group shot.

Needless to say our rei slipped and took 5 of us including myself down.

ruined the con, because i had no change of clothes and it took about two hours to get back to my place to change due to traffic.

>>1823901
top paragraph was some voice actor. He was also a powerranger at some point or another.

botom was.... actually dont know. she was dressed up in one of those blue uniforms from full metal alchemist. art/cosplay guest?

>>1823977
neither of them is that horrible, but I still feel bat about it.

>>1823977
Top half was Johnny Young Bosch, then. Cool beans.

>>1823951
I hope you cloned yourself a new Rei, too.

Man, what is with all you people. I've been to about 7 cons now and the most disturbing experience I have is a roommate who came back to the room with a fire extinguisher in the middle of the night and refusing to tell anyone where it came from.

>>1823668
Go fuck yourself, trying to sermonize to women on how to best protect themselves.

>>1824036
>how to act like mature adults

ftfy

>>1824036
See, you're learning! Use your *words*! See how satisfying it is to *tell* the guy he's bothering you instead of wussing out until you explode with violent rage?

Whether it's stalkers, thieves, or whatever, you owe it to everyone else attending the con to report abusive behavior so it's dealt with, instead of just teaching the guy to go after a weaker victim.

I'm usually the last one to attack someone physically, unless you really piss me off, or hit me first. Connecticon this past year I had to finally put down the attack on someone.

Walking through the main hall with some friends, I start hearing RickRoll and Bel Air being blasted through a boombox. At first I pay no mind to it, until it starts getting closer. I see a bunch of Guy Fawkes masks and green faced anons dancing to the songs. I laugh and videotape about a minute of it. Then it gets old and we decide to walk away.

As we're leaving one of the anons sees my girlfriend's mudkip backpack. He proceeds to grab it off her and start humping it, then runs around when she tries to get it back. I grab the guy's arm and he slaps my hands away. Almost in reflex motion, I cock my fist back and deadpunch him in the face three times before yanking the bag out his grip. He fell to his knees and ripped the green stocking off, exposing his busted lip and bleeding nose. His eye was quickly beginning to swell also.

His friends grabbed him and dragged him back towards the Marriott.

>>1824265
Damn right, that's how you do it.

Cool story bro.

Enjoy your assult charges.

>>1824265
That... would have been SO great to see. Mostly because /b/tards IRL are annoying as shit. All that duurhuurTHEGAME nonsense and rickrolling gets as tired as lesbian Narutards.

>>1824265
thank you

At ACEN I walked in on one of my hambeast roomates playing with herself on my bed. Part of me wishes I had turned away when I heard the whir through the front door, but the other part of me is glad I knew what happened, or I would have been putting my head on the pillow that was propping up her sweaty ass.

>>1822452
>>1822455

Another animeleaguer? Soon as i saw that i thought it would be another 'free molests people' thing xD

>>1824439

You just should have sent her to one of the men's rooms there were plenty of guys that would've dealt with her issues.

>>1824439
OH JESUS

I lol'd so fucking hard

Otakon was horrible this year because of staying arrangements. Instead of a hotel, we stayed with a now-ex friend in Baltimore. She assured us we were close.

We were about a half hour drive from the place... if you knew where you were going.

So for the two days we went, we slept 14 people in their tiny ass living room while a selected few (4) got to stay in the air conditioned room upstairs, then took ice cold showers since their shower wasn't working before getting dressed and heading out.

I had to keep spare costumes in my trunk in Baltimore heat. I feared for styled wigs lives all day.

On Friday, I locked my phone in the apartment because the morons didn't think we'd need to key. They left before us and didn't tell us the door was already locked when they left, so I was left phone-less all day since they didn't have a spare anywhere. Then the girl I was with had her phone ringing off the hook all day which led to her battery shitting out around 6 PM. We were left incommunicado and I was one of three people with a car to get us all back to the house.

I ended up losing my ID somewhere in the con (it never turned up, wtf), so I left early on Friday out of "omfg wtf" annoyed-at-myself-ness, ignoring the piece of paper on my windshield as it was on EVERY windshield. Wouldn't you know it that everyone had left early, couldn't contact us, couldn't find us, and had left us a note in black ink on black paper that someone had stayed behind, we might want to find him. They were pissed when I showed up without him.

Saturday was a little more of the same, but instead, we lost most of the day to practicing for our skit and two of our friends at each other's throats for whatever reason and one of them walking out and not answering her phone. At that point we almost didn't care if she came back. Blah blah, won the masquerade, moods lifted for a while...

continued...

>>1824526
Then I was going to take the kid had been left behind on Friday to the dance because no one else wanted to stay. But no one else wanted to stay either and not everyone could fit in a car. I couldn't let the kid go to his dance because everyone else didn't want to sit around and talk for a while, they just wanted to go back to the apartment. So we did because they wouldn't stop harping at me and I didn't trust the bus systems.

We ended up leaving Sunday morning and I drove the 13 hours by myself since no one in my car felt well enough to drive. Oh. And on the way down, I was awake for 36 hours straight due to being awake to teach the first shift guy how to use my GPS and then driving the second shift... after being awake all Wednesday since we still needed to finish cosplay for the con and taking a caffeine pill so I didn't crash the car and kill us all.

Might do it again, but we're flying down and I'm staying in a hotel. The con would've been so much better if we were in a hotel room.

I roomed with DJ Ranma S a few years back at a con I withold the name to. I thought it was a good deal,since he was charging $60 a head for a rather expensive hotel. It was cheap because there were already 12 people in the suite, including people crashing on the bedroom floor(me being one of those unlucky bastards on the bedroom floor) He brought back this sloppy fat girl to the room, and ended up fucking her that night in the room WITH ALL OF US PRESENT in the bedroom. It smelled so damn bad. And to make it worse the fat bitch stood up off the bed and put her feet down on my air matress, causing the rapid release valve to rip out.

Never, EVER room with him people. This is my warning to you.

You're just jealous and wish you had been the alpha male in that room.

>>1824554
DJ Ranma S stories always make me lol~

>>1824327
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE HORROR OF LESBIAN NARUTARDS WHO ALSO CLAIM TO BE ANONS AND PEDDLE OVER USED DEAD MEMES?

Neither have I, but god only knows, the world is headed there.

>>1824566
That sounds like an awefuly ranma thing to say...

Why are cosplayers so disgustingly slutty?

because all women want is con sex.

>>1824671

orly?

I knew there was a reason I kept coming back here instead of going to /v/ ....

I saw some drunk passed out guy get pissed on in a hallway.

>>1824566
If by alpha male you mean 35 year old pedophile chubby chaser, then no. I'm actually quite content with not being the alpha male.

>>1824726
elaborate plox

>>1824605
Does DJ Ranma S happen to be a nigger?

>>1822386
>>1822439
ARRRRRGGGGGHHHH

>>1824806


yes indeed

>>1824265
mask fags

>>1823668
wow erisaka in her teens. kinda scary

>>1824726
That's an everyday thing here in New York.

>>1824969
I'd hit it...with an F-350. Then throw it in reverse and hit it again.

Excuse me for sounding like a n00b, but this DJ Ranma S guy sounds like a real champ :| I'm over on the West Coast, so I don't know much about him.

So, I have one.

This didn't happen to me, but to my best friend.
Sakuracon 2003 - she made a Nurse Joy costume. It was shit, and we've laughed about it ever since. She only wore it the once, and even then only one day.

2006 - New convention location, she'd grown up visually since then, and was dressed as Kaguya-hime (from the Sailormoon S movie). She had 6 inch stripper shoes on under the dress, floor length gown, giant crown, no visible wig or hair, and full white face paint.
Some guy asks to take a picture, and she obliges, of course. After the shot, he walks up to her and pulls out a photo, grins and says "This is you, isn't it?"

It was a picture of her, in her Nurse Joy.
She nodded slowly, he gave her the picture, stared for a minute or two, then left.

We didn't seem him again, but it's our weird/creepy story.
The fact that he had a picture of her with him after all these years and was able to pick her out when she looked nothing like she did then...
*shiver*

>>1825530

. . . . That is fucked up.

>>1825548
Seriously.

I'm looking to see if I can find her Nurse Joy costume, just to show how different it was (even though I know friends don't post friends on /cgl.)

We both get a little anxious now at cons, when people come up to talk to us after pictures, lol.

>>1825530
I'm very flattered that you remembered me.

>>1822119
I have told my stories about my friend's dress being destroyed a dick who she won't let hug her, the fuck craziness of Yaoi con and the yaoi paddles, now here's a hotel story!

I was staying at the Best Western down the street on the FIRST YEAR AX moved down to LA. It was ok, we could walk to the con from there and the room was nice, but something about the staff was off. Probably because they had never had to deal with anime fans before now.
So I was working on my wig in the bathroom, spiking it with hair cement and blow drying it when I noticed some of the color had come off on the tile in the bathroom. I tried to scrub it off but I was late to meet my group and said "Fuck it, I'll get to it when I get back" and ran after putting on the wig.
So I come back hours later tired and try my key and it doesn't work. I was like "Shit, did my phone demagnetize it or something?" so I went down to talk to the front desk to get a new one. She takes the key and looks at me saying "We shut off your card" to I said "What? Why?"
This is what she said:
"The house keeper went in and there was a stain on the counter top she couldn't get off, we need to charge you an extra $100 for the damage."
I was speechless for a few minutes then said "Isn't the deposit suppose to cover that? Are you sure it's COMPLETELY ruined?"
She said yes and I went, "Well, can I try to get it off? I have some stuff in my room..."

Continued from >>1825612

"No, you have to pay us now. We will give you back the money if you can get it off before you check out."
So I curse and bitch and let her bill me because they wouldn't let me back in unless I did.
So after that, I go up and look at the little spots of purple on the counter and wet a towel with water and rub at it hard. It comes off. I screamed and started cursing the lazy staff that obviously had only gone over it lightly.
So after calming down I go down to the front desk and look for the woman I talked to, but they tell me she went home and they don't know what I'm talking about.
I don't see her until the last day of check out where I get her behind the counter and say "Hey! I got the stain out, cool huh? So can I have my money back?"
"No."
Insert mind shattering here.
"What do you mean? It's clean! Go up and check!"
"We're not going to waste our time going up to look"
"Well let me up there and I'll take a picture on my camera and show you!"
"No, we're not letting you back into the room."
"But you said you would refund me! Can I have my deposit back at least? The room is spotless!"
"No."
I swear, my friend had to restrain me. The manager came out after I asked for him and pretty much was as big of an ass as the bitch at the counter was. So I got screwed out of my deposit, an extra $100 and as we left, I heard the bitch behind the counter say to the manager "See, I told you the weirdos would be trouble."
I should have taken pictures before hand. The room was just as it had been when I got it except the bed wasn't made! No parties, no food, no nothing.
UGH! I STILL RAGE!

>>1825614

That's TERRIBLE.

You seriously have the worst things happen to you. D=

>>1823831

WTF, is that a parody of this old illustrated book called "Feelings" ???
I swear I remember the back inside cover having some emo story about a friend that moved and the boy writing to him that looked SO MUCH like that.

Here's my story again for those of you who haven't read it yet. I really need to save it so i don't have to type it out each time.

So i was sharing a room with about 5 other people and it was mid day on Sunday and i had to take a piss but the downstairs bathroom's were full of people. I journeyed up to the room i was in and walked inside to see one of the girl's fucking a purple dildo that was suction cupped to the wall, she was bent over and doing it doggystyle. I kinda stood there for a moment, flabbergasted and when she finally noticed me she dropped and grabbed a blanket off the bed and wrapped it around her self after she yelped, I kinda just turned and went into the bathroom and pissed and left, not really being able to process what just happend til later. When i got back to the room later that night she had packed and left.

Not really a horrorstory cause she was pretty good looking. That's mine, If i think of anymore i'l post them

>>1825614
What the hell? How do you still go to cons with all the terrible things that happen to you?!

>>1825624
Yeah, but for every one horrid thing that happens, there's a dozen good things that happen.

Oh yeah, At Akon 17 i was in line for passes for around 3 1/2 hours. It's odd about Akon because the line length switches, One year the on site line is long as balls and then the next the pre-reg is long.

It's like everyone who was in the on site line was like "Fuck this, i'm gonna pre-reg next year" and then the pre-reg line is long and there like "fuck this im gonna on site next year" and the cycle goes on.

>>1825639
Now that's what I call being resourceful.

Con horror story:
Anime North 2007, I took part in an "experiment" for an online video show. I shoved over half a tin of nintendo power mints in my mouth at once.
hurrrrrrrgggggh.
it burned.

I've actually been pretty lucky for conventions. That's the worst thing that happened to me. Knock on wood V_V

>>1825656
and how is that a con horror story?

My last year at Anime North was terrible. My friend and I had some booze left out, but we couldn't find the tag you put on the door to keep out housecleaning. They were in the room right beside ours, so we told them not to go in because we didn't have a tag.. They were all 'okay that's cool'. Fucking mexican bitches stole our $50 bottle of Smirnoff Ice. Naturally they'd gone in and cleaned everything too. We complained to management who passed it off as 'oh it must have been an open container' blah blah blah. Unfortunately I was drunk at the time, otherwise I would've been down there with my friend to complain. (They were nice enough to leave my mudshakes) and then there was the alarm that went off in the middle of the night that freaked me out.

That reminds me. My friends had all gone out to the dance and I stayed behind since I was sleepy, they didn't have the room key so we left the hatch on the door open. This guy I had met only once comes into the room, jumps into bed beside me and attempts to cuddle me. Needless to say I flipped out, especially when he tried to give me a backrub.

Another amusing story from that year, my friend and I (We're both girls, btw) were watching TV when this dude randomly walks into our hotel room, offers to sell us drugs, gives us ecstasy for free, then saunters back out the door.

>>1825727
Did he tell you it was ecstasy or do you just know how ecstasy feels?

worst thing that happened to me was i got my wallet stolen. costume had no pockets and i actually trusted a friend to look out for it. my negligence

>>1825727

That's what he said. I wasn't about to try it myself, you never know if it's laced with something else. E is way too hard for me anyway, I'll stick with dope. I let my friend have it, so I don't know if it was actually the truth.

>>1825530
Don't forget the part where she could see that he wasn't wearing a con badge, so as far as she knew he wasn't even apart of the con.

>>1825929

Nono, I'm almost certain that was another story.

A separate time, a guy wanted to take pictures of her. She said yes, and he started taking pictures of her literally 360 degrees around her face. She realized around the time he finished he wasn't wearing a con badge, and she hadn't seen him around the con.
We suspect he wandered in off the street.

Still at Sakuracon, but I'm not sure it was that year.

>>1825947

Oh yeah, that's right. Got them mixed up. >_>

>>1825960

It happens.

I've probably got a few more horror stories from her, if I think for a while.

This one isn't so much of a horror story as it is an "awww, damn" story.
Fanime a few years ago, Kamijo was there - she was a HUUUUGE fan, and was along for the trip. Well, walking back from the concert, my mom got to walk and ride in the elevator with him. She went "damn" and left to go do things. I stayed behind in the room. A little later, I got a call and went outside to take it (there was better reception near the elevators) - as I get off the phone, who do I see?
Fuckin' Kamijo. Just chilling. I talked to him for a few minutes, and went on my way.

I'm surprised she didn't wring my neck, and I've always felt a little bad since, because she never did get to meet him, I don't think.

(Like I said, not a horror story, but still kinda sad)

At this convention I've been attending for the past two years, there is always this HUGE fat guy that sits in the corner with a video camera. I'm not even exaggerating when I say he's huge. He has to be around 700 lbs.

I wouldn't really pay him too much mind if he did something other than filming girls or trying to get up-skirt shots.

>>1825530
>>Holy shit a photographer recognized my friend's previous cosplay and gave her a picture of it, even though she was wearing make up and was three whole years older and thus totally unrecognizable to any normal person, so clearly he must have been obsessed her with and recognized her by her ass, having stared at said ass in his secret buttshot photos of her as Nurse Joy during every last one of his fap sessions for the previous three years.

tl;dr - That wouldn't count as creepy at all if it hadn't been done by a socially awkward fanboy.

>>1826310

Uh, I think it'd be even weirder if it hadn't.

She was a good 6-8'' taller (shoes, plus growth since then), her face shape had changed a bit (she was 15 versus 18 or so(14/17, maybe?), and seriously, this wasn't just a little bit of makeup difference.
If I hadn't known it was her (and made the costume), I wouldn't have recognized her.

Also, it wasn't like he was a professional photographer she'd worked with or something. This was just some guy with either a disposable or a really cheap camera, carrying around a picture of her three years later.

creepy fangirl at comic con, who forced yuri lowenthal to sign her breasts with his wife present and directly beside him. Ontop of that she fangirled ridiculously over every naruto cosplayer who passed by.

we've had several incidents with her at comic con but she's only been banned once.

-2009, glomps some poor sasuke cosplayer and clings to him/her it was funny at first but we eventually felt bad when we realised the kid couldn't get up off the concrete floor. We had to pry her off and eventually restrain her after she chased after their group.

-2009 glomping a member of our group and then later biting her

- 2008 general creepness with the special guest, sauntering around vic mangina and harrasing aaron dismuke (while his mother was around)

-2007 she glomped somebody (more like quarter back sacked) at athon from behind and their head crashed against the cement. the staff actually had to call an abulance because their was blood - athon's the only con she's been banned from

-2006 stalked one of the special guest back to the hotel from the con, apparently she literally sat outside Kyson Lee's room until the hotel staff escorted her out

every single fucking con she is there, hitting people with her stupid yaoi paddle and genuinly acting like a 4 year old. She squeals and screams and inappropriatley touches people even after being told not to or shoved away.

and in the end con security in our city refuses to anything about her. it's unbelievable.

>>1823884
I really do not understand why you consider this a con horror story. So she had sex with a guy. Okay, so you were religious back then and were offended. But apparently you're not now, so why do you give a shit? Having sex at a con, even when underage, is not the end of the world, nor is it something to be horrified of.

ITT: OMG ALMOSTRAPED. (Remember, kiddos...ALMOSTRAPED is one word. The OED will be adding it this year.)

>>1826379
is there pics of this girl? im guessing shes a whale. second guess is that she looks like a spider

>>1826379
Do you have a picture?

I think I may have been harassed by her at ALA... fat fangirl with an obsession with english voice actors, who only watches dubbed anime on TV, and refuses to shut up about that small range of shows?

Bamp

Just a random story.

So, my friend saw this cute cosplayer, and he bet one of my friends to give her a piece of paper that he wrote his number on, and tell her who it was from since he's pretty shy.

Anyways, the girl's friend SCREAMS to my friend "YOU'RE DECREPIT." and my friend sits there like.. :|

It was pretty lulz worthy, and it just shows how stupid some people can be just because they think every guy who goes to a convention intends to rape them and every other girl at the convention.

If they wanted to they probably would have already.

>145 posts and 24 image replies omitted
Wow. A lot of messed up shit happens at cons.

Connecticon? Really?
Shit. I go to CTcon every year and I've never heard of that happening.

>>1824554

is he that bad?

>>1826500
i would imagine most of it is exaggerated or never even happened

>>1826777
he likes fat chicks?

>>1826777
He is. He's a very self centered person, whom I'm hoping retires from conventions soon. I saw him running a dealer's booth at NY Comic Con this past year. As I walked past I saw him having this huge fucking argument with this fat bitch over god knows what. It was so bad that the people in the huge shirt cavern across from his booth began funneling out to see what the commotion was.

>>1825612
>>1825614
If that would happen to me I would go BERSERK. Seriously... hello, assault claim.

>>1825947 he started taking pictures of her literally 360 degrees around her face. She realized around the time he finished he wasn't wearing a con badge, and she hadn't seen him around the con.

Oh God this, that happened to me many times. It was kind of flattering the first time, but after the tenth 35+ year old neckbeard took a 360° pic/video, I thought "WTF?!" and was creeped out
Different cons btw
I'm not very pretty or anything, I look just... normal. I don't get it. No cosplay, I was in kuro/gothic classic lolita outfits. Could this have anything to do with it...?

>>1826331 carrying around a picture of her three years later.
Now THAT is actually the creepy part, not only that he recognized her

One AX I went to the pool to go swimming with my friend. It was a lot of fun, and we wait be the elevator on the way back to go back to the room. This guy asks me, "Can I get your picture?" I say, "Yeah, sure." because I had been in costume all day, so it was a response.

Then I realized that I wasn't wearing a costume, just a bikini and a towel, and the picture got taken. It was really awkward and awful, because I knew he was just being a creeper who was going to fap to it.

So I try to forget about it (my fault for saying yes), and he gets in the same elevator as us. It's tense, and weird, and when he gets off the elevator he turns to me and says, "I LOVE YOU!"

I never saw him again, so it didn't ruin the whole con or anything. But it was sure awkward as fuck.

>>1827239
Fuck, I lol'd.

Last year there was this small anime con that was coming up in my town, and a few of my friends wanted me to go with them there. Apparently it was going to be fun and there was going to be good food, so I decided to go.
I cosplayed as Naru from Love Hina (maybe not perfectly, but it was pretty decent) while my friends cosplayed Lucy from Elfen Lied, Axel, and Riku.
We get there and there is fucking NOTHING. Well, there is a bar where empty plates that once had food were set up, and a cooler with some foreign drinks. But other than that, jack shit.
There were maybe 20-25 people there, and a good handful were fatasses, a badly cosplayed L, a couple gothic lolitas, a fucking annoying Akito, this one girl dressed up like an angel or something, a black inuyasha, a shippo, a Sakura (read: FAT) , one of my friend's friend who supposedly was Roxas. (Only had the fucking WIG. other than that she was wearing a black sweatshirt and jeans.) , and many little girls who looked like they were in middle school and were extremely jacked up on sugar.
We had gotten there just 10 minutes late, but there was practically NO food. I was pretty miffed, but shruged it off. The whole rest of the time was spent outside on this patio thing (it was held at an art museum) where people where acting fucking retarded. Of course, it's an anime convention after all, so people are going to act stupid. But what really ticked me off is when the little middle school looking girls were glomping and squeezing the life out of my friends and going "OMG AXEL ROXAS MAKE OOOUT!" and "RIKU VERSUS INUYASHA OMMGG RIKU IS SOOOO GOING TO WIN HURRDURRR" and bullshit like that. Then there was a fucking RATARDED fight over who was better: L or Light. People were actually screaming at each other and one of the people who "ran" the con had to come and break it up.

(1/2)

>>1827336

Shortly after that they told everyone it was time for a "photoshoot", and that everyone should just keep playing around and the guy who would be taking the pictures would take people aside so they could have their own individual photo taken. (Of course, outside where everyone else was, but a little farther away) Well, I hadn’t been told there would be a photoshoot, and this creeped me the fuck out. It also didn’t help that the guy taking the pictures looked like a really big creep. I kept my distance from him the whole time and ended up not getting any picture taken, to my relief.
AFTER THAT, we all went inside and people were breaking out glowsticks and shit. I was sitting next to my friends drinking something and some of the little middle school girls sitting near me looked at me with disgusted faces and asked, “OKAY, WHO ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE?” “Uh, Naru from Love Hina…?” “NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE.” And then they just turned there backs to me while I sat there dumbstruck. I looked to my friends but they were entertaining other fangirls. It was really the last straw from me, I felt like freaking shit. I immediately called someone to come get me and left the con early, without saying goodbye to my friends.

To this day they still think I actually enjoyed myself, lol.

>>1827339
>NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE

Love Hina is now...old school? I am well past old and now, officially, ancient.

>>1827364

Tell me about it. I was kind of offended, 'cause really, who the hell likes anime and HASN'T heard of Love Hina? But they WERE middle school brats. Who only wanted to see "zomg AxelxRoxas buttsexx!!11"

They got on my nerves most of all.

>>1827336 RATARDED

lol

>>1827385

haha, shhh. I was typing this really quickly and didn't spellcheck the thing. Be nice. ;_;

>>1827384
If it makes you feel better I had to google Axel and Roxas. Meh, never had the slightest interest in KH.

I already knew the 90s were the 'new' old school but it's a sad day if we're already moving the goalposts into this decade.

>>1827239
You have cons with... pools? That's cool.

Let me guess the Naruto and L cosplayers do caramelldansen in the pool, wearing their costumes.

>>1827385
RE-TAR-DAD; adjective: stupid fangirls so horribly retarded that the regular 'retarded' just isn't enough to fully describe their amounts of retardation

>>1827517
not here; and our conventions are held in town halls and stuff...

no no pics of her sorry, (she wouldnt stand fucking still)
she wasn't fat though, skinny as a fucking stick.
probably anorexic and constantly grabbing at her neck auuuugh.
