    40 KB Sunday Morning Fiascos /b/lackula !bQZuI.nr1c 06/09/09(Tue)15:00 No.1892137  
    Whoever wrote the song "Easy" has obviously never been at a con on a Sunday morning. In celebration of one of the most dreaded days of the con weekend, let's hear some Sunday convention horror stories.

    Not really a fiasco, but waking up still drunk from the night before, and still having to pack up my cosplay shit strewn all over the place and checking out before 11 am... I dread it every single time it happens. I hate Sundays.

    Having to check out at 11 was the biggest downfall to the convention. That and and both me and Gerg losing something. Him losing his Squirtle and me losing my Bluetooth.

    Not really a "horror", more of a "well that kind of sucks" story. We got home late (we were staying at someone's house 20 minutes from the con) from the rave, one of my friends set her cell alarm for the next morning for 8:00 and we all crashed. Get woken up by friend's mom asking when we were planning on leaving. It was 10:30. Ended up missing all but the very end of the cosplay chess and driving all the way there for basically nothing.

    Horror story that turned bad, then good, then worse. I valet parked my car at Anime Boston. Come sunday after a rough morning of getting everyone packed and out of the room, the valet tells me that they have lost the keys to my car. I rage'd til they said they would pay to replace my key. I thought it would a simple walk to the hardware store to get a copy made. Boy was I wrong! Turns out that new car keys have chips in them that need to be programmed. The dealership wasn't open that day. So we had to stay an extra two nights til the Scion dealership was open. They paid for the key and claimed they'd pay for the room. When I got home, I found out that they had actually charged me for the extra two nights we had to stay.

    Already taken care of. I've been through countless talks with the Sheraton's higher ups. My Aunt works for the W Hotel here in Hoboken(a sheraton subsidiary) and she gave me the direct number to the Sheraton Regional manager of the Boston Back bay area and I got everything settled and got the whole weekend's stay refunded.
    TL;DR
    Talked to Corporate!(LIKE A BAWSSS!)
    Demanded a Refund! (LIKE A BAWSSS!)

    My Sundays aren't usually bad, more like I'm sad to leave all of my friends.

    This year at AB, I went out with a friend to dinner Saturday night, went back to his room, had him pass the hell out do to sheer exhaustion and excused myself back to my room before I did the same. Packed up my shit and went to sleep.

    Next morning was everyone freaking out that their stuff wasn't packed, a roommate had found a crack in his Blackberry, one of the kids in the room had woken up and puked everywhere, it had been cleaned up and the towels thrown under the sink onto my friend's purse (so her purse was covered in puke), and we couldn't fit everyone in the van so I helped pack shit up and drive back with three people at around 3 o'clock to pick everyone up at the train station an hour or so later.

    Didn't get to say goodbye to friends, one because his phone was broken, and one because I had no time. I still feel bad cause we have this ritual of "I'll see you at the next con, HUG IN CASE I DIE IN A FREAK ACCIDENT" at the end of every con. Last hug of the con is the most meaningful after all.

    explosive diarrhea Sunday morning of AN, 5 minutes before checkout. lucky I had decided not to wear my difficult to get into cosplay that day....
    >> enderwillsaveus 06/09/09(Tue)17:31 No.1892525
    At Colossal most of our room went to sleep at like 1:30AM because we were so tired. I wake up to one of my roommates going "Umm...guys, we should get up. Isn't checkout at 11?"

    It was 10:30. There was a miscommunication about who was setting an alarm, it was a room full of five cosplayers with rather complex outfits (two of which were doing EGA that day) and only one had packed the night before. I called the front desk asking for a late checkout and the woman tells me they aren't offering any today.

    So we all hustled our arses off to get things packed and ready to go and I didn't get to cosplay on Sunday because I couldn't find one of my Scout socks.

    It wasn't as much of a horror story as my car breaking down on the way to pick up my friend whose car had also broken down on the Thursday of the con though. THAT sucked.

    Yeah, Colossal's 11am checkout was pretty gay. For some odd reason everyone my suite thought we had it until Monday since we were staff. One awakening at 10:45 later... Mind you NO ONE had packed, we didn't clean our dishes, still had our food in the fridge, and half the people in the room never came back from Saturday festivities. Add in con ops wanting us out of there yesterday and the hotel wasting no time in telling us GTFOHOUSEKEEPING, Sunday morning sucked what with no option for late checkout. I was the last to leave because I had to wait for one guy to come back and get his stuff and one girl in the room lost her watch.

    Not really anything that happened AT the convention.
    But, Abunaicon in Holland last year. Me and my pals stayed at the cottages, many many KM away from the con.
    We managed to get on the last bus to the con, sunday morning. My friends just left me outside, and I was only lucky enough to get the last seat on the bus cause they were inside it.
    But of course, no seats close to my friends. They sat up in front and I was forced to sit in the back, where all the Death Note cosplayers sat.
    So well.. Figure out the rest. Sitting in a bus for 20 minutes, with a bunch of dutch underage cosplayers by my side, talking an unknown language.
    .... That, and I hate busses. Its the worst con-sunday I have ever been part of.

    Had been having stomach problems the whole convention. Woke up Sunday morning, obligated to participate in cosplay chess. My period started while I was asleep so I had cramps. The costume I was wearing was one of my least comfortable ones. I had a minor panic about what was happening to my stuff because we needed to check out while I was at chess and I didn't have the time to carry it all bit by bit down to the hotel lobby and get all the bags checked. Got that resolved. Went to cosplay chess, luckily didn't fuck up. Got home after the con. Then my girlfriend dumped me.
