I AM. AND HOLY FUCK I JUST FINISHED MY COSTUMES.

Never ever again will I ever go to two conventions within a week of each other.

I'll be there. Got to work thursday then at 11:30pm I clock out to make the 4 hour drive from Windsor. No Cosplaying but I just got done making this sweet Fai D. Flourite staff for a friend. I hate that she had my mother make his jacket too but damn can she make some good stuff from scratch. The staff lights up and everything. Just missing the blue jewels on head and tail. They will be drawn in. Pounding sheet metal into domes with a hammer just takes too damn long. D:

Pic related mother made the jacket on the bright pink haired one for last year.

>>1844139

NASA > SCCA

>>1844157
I'm not a rocket scientist but I'll flag for them too. I'm just a card carrying member

Say they don't have corner worker background characters in any Initial D episodes or manga chapters do they? *sigh* neverrmind I need the patches sewn on my whites still.

Fuck yeah, King Crimson!

PICKUP DAY FUCK YEAH!

fffffff yeah

so not done ftw

>>1844139

Whoo, Windsor. We're leaving at 12 today.

FUCK YEAR, SEEE YOU GUYS (but not really) IN THE REG LINE

>>1844280
Woo Windsor Indeed. GO SPITS GO!!!!

>>1844139

Holy shit, my friend is also leaving from Windsor today. Never would've thought there'd be more than one cosplayer in that backwards shithole! Hope your trip goes okay!

>>1844761
Thanks. Hope your trip goes well if you're not there already. My trip will/should be fine as long as the Ontario Potato Pickers decide to not be bored and pull me over under suspicion of DUI when dumbass cop is tailgating and blinding me with his headlights.

I wont be cosplaying but I have done a couple over the years. The first ones being CCS's Yukito and the second being Gravitations Yuki. However I've never actually done one at North. Alright just talking about has convinced me... I'M BREAKING OUT THE HIDEKI!!!!!

>>1844808

HIDEKIIIIIIIIII! DO EET!
Also, I used to live in Windsor, but I moved to Scarberia about three years ago. So I just have to take an hour and a half to get to the con centre each day. Thanks anyways!

PS: Around this time of year a few years ago, we got a potato thrown at our car (completely serious). So yeah, definitely be careful. They're tricky bastards.

>>1844823
>Scarberia
I lol'd, good stuff, north yorker here

>>1844835

Fuck yeah, North York! High five!

east york ftw

R-dot motha fuckaaas!

>>1844906
*high five* :D I'm practically ontop of Finch station, so it's going to be a painfull TTC ride ^^; I was looking forward to driving, but I got in a (100% not my fault) accident last week, i'm fine, but have to use the lengthly transit to get there :I

friends saying to go out of Lawrence then take the 58 bus west, any better suggestions?

anyone going there from Pacific Mall?

Currently sitting in the hotel lobby (Crowne Plaza)
This weekend is going to be EPIC.

>>1844968

I take the 95 to York Mills Station, go to Sheppard, take the bus to Downsview, go to Lawrence West, and take the bus from there. From where I live, that's the fastest way. ;-;

>>1844984

ALEXXXXXXXX AMIRITE? <3 IF SO HAI 8D

>>1844992

OMG LOL WHO ARE YOU
and hai :D

>>1844999

Who was a zombeh schoolgirl at Nuit Blanche with you? ;D

ALSO, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL DHAUHDUIOQHNB*(HI

>>1845003
HAYYY~
<3
Are you cosplayin' Nidorina? I hope so; I got my Nidoran costume done. :)

>>1845015

Nope, I'm cosplaying Jin from Persona 3. I don't have the monies to go out and buy the stuff for Nidorina. u_u Also, fat.

>>1845018
:(
Will still be cool to see you as Jin, though :D

I swear to god Alex, I will kick you if I see you in person.
/cgl/ is not your personal chat room.

>>1845036

Wahhh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt us!

Back on topic, anyone here participating in the Masquerade?

is there gonna be a meet up this weekend ?
i heard it might be on Sat @ 3pm but i have no idea if thats confirmed and where it will be ....

>>1844968
I live near Finch Station too.
My route is
36 Finch bus to Bathurst > 7 Bathurst bus to Sheppard > ??? bus to Downsview station > Take train to Lawerence West > 58 bus to AN (1 Hour ride)

A lot of transferring, I cant find any other route thats decent. Unless you take the bus till Wilson instead of Sheppard which is longer IMO Train > Bus

Unfortunatly I think thats the only bus route that goes right by AN. I hope they add more buses on the route this weekend because it get's REALLY packed. It's like a moving mini sauna mixed with all the sweat running down our fat flabs. So go early :D

btw I picked my pass and goodies.
+Cover is nice.
+Handy HMV bag
-Comes with this mini Shonen Jump. SHIT

LESS THAN 24 HOURS!

wtf...
i live 2 blocks from finch station...

anyone got an extra pass, or willing to get their pass and report it as lost and get another one for me ;_;

>>1845470

LAWLZ, I remember the bus to AN last year. On the way, we met some new friends and saw some old. So I'm not particularly bothered. n_n

Actually, is there gonna be a meetup? Or are you all of the opinion that HURR DURR WE R ANONYMUS LOLOLOL?

>>1844362
OUTDOOR?
is because some tard lit a bonfire outside the dance last year?

Everyone posting in this thread is why Anime North sucks. Stupid immature yaoi fans.

Only worse thing is the coscom section for Anime North. It breeds idiocy.

>>1845548

I hate yaoi, you fucking retard. Grow up, loosen up, and don't take a fucking anime convention seriously.

TOTALLY IN.

>>1844362
>>1844365

Oh you guys. <3

>>1845563

BUTTHURT

I'm sitting in the Double Tree lobby right now

Don't normally self post here
but I just finished my costume ahead of schedule
and I'm psyched for this weekend

hope everyone else luck on their costumes and pack water / use a hydration pack , if the weekend is anything like today. Itll be HOT.

>>1845548
Not a Girl , Indifferent to Yaoi , and is a Grad student.
Maybe I'm the exception that proves the rule ???

Another north york here

>>1845806
HOLY FFFF

Good god, you must get a photoshoot for that costume. That's pretty beastly.

>>1845806

You seem normal. You're an exception. Not like everyone else typing in caps and using stupid weeaboo emotes.

>>1845806
If that's actually you then congratulations on a great costume and great form. If you were coming to AX this year I think you'd make both me and Daisuke Ishiwatari cry a tear of joy.

DAMNIT why isn't it tomorrow yet
I need to register still ;________;
yay line up

>>1845882
thanks for the single manly tear.If you think I'm built , wait til you see our Sol

I'll be the mother fucker dressed up in a suit and playing video game songs and blues at the line ups for money.

Cheers.

I'll be one of the Medusa's

>>1845806
Looking good

At least you don't have to worry about the heat too much, you should be nice and cool

YO GUYS! I CANT SLEEP Leaving from quebec city in 2 hours!

safdgs....IRON CLAD
.....
SOMETHIN SOMETHIN DOO DOO DADDD

...21st century schizoid maaaan.

May there be many lulz over the next 3 days.

I'm going! But i'm nervous about not having many people to hang around with XD

How to meet people at anime north? Just go up to random groups and say 'hi'?!

>>1845511
>>1845511
>>1845511

If you plan it, we will come.

Anyone going to the moonlight ball?

>>1843617

Man I hope it's not the same guys than last year doing the tornaments they were so retarded. someone won a bunch of match with a know bug abuse, and I was there at like 6 am to be sure to get in the tornement and the "forgot me" so I couldnt even play

they were concerned about thmselves playing in tornaments than running their fucking tornaments

Any hotel parties going on?

I'm >>1845921 and will be staying in an apartment a block or two away, but don't really have any Toronto connections anymore.

>>1845971
yeah pretty much. Though it is pretty easy to start a convo at an anime con ... comment on a costume, comment on some merch they bought, comment on the panel you are at, comment on the con itself. I find most people are pretty willing to talk.

>>1844992
>>I moved to Scarberia about three years ago
>>I take the 95 to York Mills Station

Why the hell are you taking the 95 instead of the subway if you're coming from Scarborough?

Taking a TTC bus to Anime North sucks. The 58 is crowded and slow. Spend an extra four bucks and take the GO bus from York Mills station.

http://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/en/schedule/pubsched.aspx?table=34&direction=1&day=1&
;page=2&city=49&station=YKML&new=

Make sure to take the "Dixon" bus NOT the "Hwy 27" bus, or the driver will go right by the con on the highway and you will feel stupid. Note that the GO bus stops at the normal TTC stop by the Doubletree/TCC, and the one across the overpass by the Renaissance. You don't have to walk from Dixon and Martin Grove, that's just the closest stop on the web schedule.

tl;dr - GO Transit makes the last leg of getting to AN faster and nicer, even though their site is fucking terrible.

>>1845986
>>Any hotel parties going on?

The Doubletree doesn't let anyone up to the rooms without each person showing their room key, so Anime North isn't a great party con. Despite the lower Canadian drinking age and the cops caring more about jaywalking than weed.

>>1846081

The double tree is a fucking gay hotel then. That sounds like a terrible (But practical, god damn it) idea. I need to smoke weed from my friends apartment and WATCH the parties across the block unfold? INCONCEIVABLE!

Someone has to sneak me up to the Hotel top! Delicious tunes to whomever pulls it off.

im staying in the Doubletree. Never been to a con before and actually know little about it. Im just going to get away from work and chill with some friends.

Speaking of guitars, I haven't been in a few years. How are the staff when it comes to playing in doors of the main building/outside if you're not pan handling? They gonna be dicks and tell me to feck off, or do they not mind that sorta thing?

Staying in a suite, Hilton Hotel :D

>>1846133
I don't know about playing, but I had to go trought weapon check for a FREAKING guitar last year.

STILL TRYING TO FINISH

AEEDRJAWRJWSEERRRTYEFASEAAAARRRRGHHH

>>1846136
>>1846136


I just plan on walking up and proudly saying that this is my 'axe' and get a huge chuckle out of a terrible pun.

Oh well, my amp is battery operated and hidden in my backpack. I'll find a way to play tunes some how.

>>1846133
If you're loudly playing music, the fact that your amp is hidden won't matter much, will it?

>>1846160

Touche.

I will be wrestling in the Super Anime Extreme Wrestling In Hall D of the TCC!

TODAY IS THE DAY. Seems cloudy today let's hope it doesn't rain.

Going as a easy cop-out mario. Woot for blue overalls and red shirt and hat.

Leaving for AN in an hour
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF----------------

FUCK YEAH COLORFUL MONEY

Why is your creme soda here red. It also tastes like bubble gum. :|

FUCK YES :D LEAVING IN 2 HOURS

>>1846755
I FUCKING LOVE OUR CREAM SODA

I wasn't aware you guys had it different

I still haven't registered for weekend passes, and I gotta commute from Oshawa... FUCK!

Reg line is already wrapping around the building. Fuuun~

>>1846889

Yeah man it's like, completely transparent lol. The hot pink Cream Fanta is growing on me though!

Guitarfag here again. I'll be dressing up in a black pin stripe suit and playing near the Peachtree with a sign that says 'Will work for Evil, 21st century Antagonist'
