Are you sure about classic arcade? Pretty sure that one walked out the door with the rest of the VG room staff last year.

They're paying out the nose for GPX gaming to do their game room. So expect it to be the same bullshit as the shitty AUSA VG room.

>>2510133
>Are you sure about classic arcade? Pretty sure that one walked out the door with the rest of the VG room staff last year.

I'm not sure about that. I assumed that the arcade cabinets were donated.

>>2510231

Doubt it, the storage costs for them wouldn't be worth it year after year plus they were in too good a condition for donations.

>>2510133

That would be a shame if that was true, I loved those old arcade cabinets. I think my friends and I spent over three hours playing Sega Hot Rod back in 2008

>>2510133

Those GPX guys were awesome at first...but now that they're at every con, it's the same setup every time...feels bad man.

>>2510258

You know first time I met the guy running GPXgaming (the short cuban guy) he came off as a pretty shady guy. Lo and behold did a google search of his name and came across details of his last entrepreneurial venture.

Does anyone remember good ole Kunicon (aka Otakucon)?

For those who may not remember they were the con that on Saturday during their Denver com they dragged everyone into main events and demanded an additional $50 a head or the convention would have to shut down.

Is it just me, or do most of the panels seem pretty lackluster this year? I mean, normally I don't go to panels, but at least one or two looks interesting and I have it in the back of my mind if I don't have anything else to do, but there's nothing. Also, panels at 6:30AM, wat. Poor souls.

>>2510307
>demanded an additional $50 a head or the convention would have to shut down.
Whoa, shit man. That can't have gone well.

Any good places to get food in the area?

>>2510307
I think I heard of this story before.
>>2510312
I think most of the interesting panels will happen on Friday. On Saturday, after Bad, Anime Bad, I'm going to have lots of downtime between 9am-12pm.

It's also my sad duty to report to you that Vic Mignogna is coming to this Katsucon 16. Douchbaggery, altar calling, and all.

>>2510319
The con did continue with enough donations.
>>2510337
There's potbelly and Elevation Burger for cheap eats. But my best advice is to bring your own food to cook if your room has a small kitchen with a microwave.

>>2510312
The panels seem pretty disappoint. Is there any point to going this year if my friends can't make it?

>>2510379
It seems like Katsucon, while not being age restricted, does draw bit of an older and more mature crowd so if your friends don't go, you'll probably be able to meet people anyway. The masquerade/cosplay is usually pretty good, too. I've never been to the Gaylord, but I hear it's really great for photoshoots.

>>2510411
>>Katsucon
>>an older and more mature crowd

wat?

>>2510411
>>2510420
I read on thread on /cgl/ that Katsucon usually brings out a less mature crowd.

Enjoy the Gaylord, it might be it's last.

>>2510411

I hope so. I'm going to Katsucon for the first time this year (with friends, to cosplay). I'm sure I'll have fun, but it would be nice if there were a social scene that rated above "teenaged weeaboo."

>>2510307

Reading through some of the posts in the LJ comm, Manny, moaib, sounds like a complete putz in all of his responses. Way to throw rocks at the beehive by posting directly in the community challenging them.

>Vic Mignogna is coming to this Katsucon 16.

Vic! Buddy ol' pal...

I think its time to interrupt some panels!

>>2510616
How are you going to do that? Are you coming to Katsu?
Did Vic's panels got interrupted before?

>>2510619
He's done it before

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu8qC7-JbkE
start at 9:00 mins

>>2510619

What, you've never seen Masa crash Vic's CLOSE YER EYES AND EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF ANIMOO panel?

>>2510619

You bet your ass I'm coming to Katsucon. Who the hell do you think I am??

There will be parties, there will be laughs, there will be joyous adventures, now that I'm going.

>>2510629
Eh, coulda done so much better he barely seemed annoyed

>>2510640
Your "joyous adventures" don't seem to be much more than you drinking in a hotel room and then telling people after the con that you had sex with everyone.

>>2510683

Then come with me and find out if that's true. :)

Is a /cgl/ meetup planned?

I'm looking forward to Katsucon this year. I missed last years, but with it being at the Gaylord at least if the convention gets boring I'll have good people to relax and drink with.

>>2510714
You have no idea how excited I am for our hangouts and ensuing debauchery.

>>2510640
>>2510629
You guys too.


My show got scheduled at 2 PM on Saturday! I was told I'd get an after dark show! And my dear friend got jipped out of a panel without being told that her panel was being denied! The artist alley is a MESS!

This can only mean one thing:

KatsuCon is now on notice. It is our job to make it awesome, since the con isn't delivering.

>>2510786
Progress-related: Ibuki fabric cut. Getting more fabric this weekend, spending all of saturday sewing. Will update with whatever happens on Saturday night.

>>2510786
Very excited to see you again. Good time will be had!

>>2510786
I say we make that shit 18+ anyway.

I love how they decided to schedule a Cosplay and Prop Lighting workshop on Friday, then still have a Cosplay Electronics 101 panel on Saturday... And have a Crossplay for Girls panel twice on Friday...

>>2510786
DENIED. >B[

>>2510790
The pants seem easy enough but how are you going to make yourself pink

>>2510786

Same thing happened to me, I emailed the con back in September asking when panel registration was going to open up and when I could submit, never heard a word back and by the time I remembered to check again about it I learn they only had it opened up in November and it had already filled up...

Looks like I have to save everything for Otakon now.

I was talking to the guys from AUSA's video game department and some of Game Katsu staff at AUSA. GPX came in and basically dissolved the AUSA Video Games department, so those staff ended up having to be put elsewhere at the con. It probably had something to do with Manny alledgedly bringing TWENTY-FOUR staff to AUSA (which probably would've been why they also had EIGHT panels, if I remember right, as well as Manny "hosting the guests panel." Those are his own words, I don't know, I wasn't there.)

Game Katsu, because things have been outsourced to GPX Gaming, has also been dissolved now.

Expect GPX to be running the video games for AUSA for quite some time, since one of Manny's close buddies is Mark Pope, who is apparently the Chariman of the AUSA Board of Directors. And since Katsu and AUSA are basically sister conventions, he'll probably be running video games there for the foreseeable future.

Oh, and yes, trainwreck in general. Between some of the AA screw-jobs and other issues that I talked with some of the Katsu staff about at AUSA... I'm going in expecting nothing short of implosion.

BTW, has anyone found out what the other events are that are going to be in the convention center as the same time as Katsu? Word was going around at AUSA that the con center had THREE events happening at once that weekend, but would not disclose what they were. Wonderful.

Just remember, you can't spell "fucktards" without "Katsu"!

>>2510848
EIGHT panels? I actually saw GPX run three panels. One about fighting games, another was a ramen eating contest, and the GPX LIVE show, which was a bit of trainwreck because most of AUSA's new widescreen TV's was shipped to Los Angeles instead of the hotel due to a shipping cock-up.

>>2510848
>BTW, has anyone found out what the other events are that are going to be in the convention center as the same time as Katsu? Word was going around at AUSA that the con center had THREE events happening at once that weekend, but would not disclose what they were. Wonderful.

Oh that's just bloody great. Unless those events are moved to other dates, it will become a trainwreck.

In during trainwreck discussion.

>>2510876
Uh, did ANYONE warn the Gaylord about animu conventions? I'm guessing no. One of the conventions we'll be with is a religious couple's getaway for marriages on the rocks. Jailbait in bunnysuits will be REAAAAL good for that!

We'll probably end up with some other conservative group, too. Gay.

Watch those jackasses get on us about prop weapons and not-even-that-skimpy costumes and rave getup. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. I enjoy some half-naked ass at my raves. Drunk bitches.

>>2510883
The Gaylord was warned.

At the Katsucon 15 Closing Ceremonies, the said that the Gaylord National actually wanted and excited to have a anime con. But warned of the dangers...hmm...that remains to be seen.

This might explain why Katsucon is using only the Prince Georges and National Harbor floors of convention center portion of the Resort.

>>2510848

Really makes me wonder how much these cons are willing to shell out for this retard. Anyone hear any numbers?

I'm actually really excited for katsu...
regardless of the fact that everyone seems to have had a lame time last year and all the panels and everything sucked... I dunno, I had a good time :<

>>2510894
Soooo....there's areas where we're not allowed to go? Tell moar, I've never been to a convention where we actually had to share space.

I think I just found the third one guys....
The fucking National Institutes of Health

>Name of Committee: Center for Scientific Review Special Emphasis Panel; Drug Discovery for the Nervous System.

http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/2010-987.htm

>>2510982
Shit, I had a great time last year. Got drunk, hung out with people, had the best roommates, it was good times.

>>2510987
This is actually kind of awesome. Doctors can be cool motherfuckers. Most of the ones I've known are like adult children.

>>2510987
BUT WAIT THERE'S ANOTHER! A FOURTH!
http://www.ondcp.gov/DFC/

>>2510996
Awesome. Hope they enjoy the drunk/high people at the con.

>>2510982
>>2510992
>>2510817
>>2510822

But of COURSE we're going to make it 18+. While Katsucon might suck, KATSUcon is going to kick ass. :]

>>2510996
Oh wait, Feb 11 is Thurs, so NIH isn't as much affected...
Which leaves us CADCA's National Leadership Forum, with that Drug-Free Communities workshop... featuring
>Native American/American Indian Support Workshops

Amazing.

>>2511010
Don't forget that one religious help-my-marriage-sucks romantic weekend getaway.

>>2510996
I can't decide which is better. This or the Valentines thing.

>>2511001
Oh ok ;D

>>2510992
as long as no one is sick again. I dont want to spend my days in the hotel room like Ota D;

>>2511010
http://www2.cadca.org/events/forum/forum20/workshops.asp Wow

guess who's gonna show up high at this con.

hint: everybody

>>2511021
They'll be leaving Thursday. They'll barely see us.

>>2511010
That is merely a workshop. Lasts from 2pm to 4pm. By the time they leave the convention will not officially begun until 5pm (opening ceremonies)

As for CADCA, theirs ending at 3:30pm, so they will be still out of the way.

That leaves for one more unmentioned event...

BAMP.

You faggots got anything special planned? That, and meetup. We should plan one.

>>2511202
This

>>2511202
I'M HOSTING A SHOW.

2PM. LIVE 2. SATURDAY. SHOW UP because really, there's nothing else going on at that time.

Other than that I plan on enjoying quality time with my friends and making the most of the weekend through methods including booze, books, and boobs.

>>2511316
Anything late night for when we're all wasted

>>2511426

Yeah, I'm throwing a room party.

>>2510894

Question: Would it be possible to bring Katsu to the Washington convention center in the future to make it more you know... convenient?

>>2511495
I don't think so. Katsucon is has around 6,000 attendees.

That question should be for Otakon, and even with them, it's not going to happen.

>>2511515
>That question should be for Otakon, and even with them, it's not going to happen.

How hard could it be for Otakon to move from Baltimore to DC? The cost couldnt be that bad could it?

>>2511543
They considered it before, but instead Baltimore is kind of begging them to stay. They just got the Hilton added to their con space and such, so yeah.

>>2511316
Books, Boobs, and booze....Katsu, oh how you speak my language! I'll be at the panel for sure!

>>2511443
Debauchery will happen, every night.

>>2511495
I personally would like to see Katsucon move to the Kalahari in Fredricksburg, VA. I spoke to the con chair about it at AUSA and he was pretty blown away when I showed him the website on his iPhone. Hopefully he took it into serious consideration.

>>2511616
Why do iPhone users have to refer to their phones like that every time they mention it? Is it a status symbol? My friends all have Droids and they don't refer to them as "my Droid" everytime it comes up in conversation. God I hate Iphone users. They're like the Bros of the phone world.

>>2511651
I call my phone my Helio.

Soni, did you decide what you were going to wear by chance? Not trying to be stalkerish, just curious.

>>2511607

Sounds like my kind of place. 2 cons in 2 weeks, man my liver is gonna take a beating :>

>>2511735
Ummm,. bringing my Eros costume, Maya and if I have time, I'll make Simca also.

>>2511651

That's because the Droid is a piece of shit...

>>2511651
Droid owner here, confirming dis
never called it anything but my phone

>>2511748
oh look another pretentious Apple drone

>>2511754
Oh boy, here we go. Time to derail this cell phone derailment with more talks of Katsucon.
>>2511741
I'm in the same boat as you. I got Wicked Winter Rennfaire following up katsucon. Hello cirrhosis. I'm planning to have my cooler stocked to the brim with booze, and my stashbox full of the finest of the fine.

bump

>>2511443
Can regular anons get in on this action? Not trying to suck up to anyone, just trying to drink.

>>2512177
Maybe. If you aren't a huge jagoff

>>2512177
Oh? Most anons don't want to mingle with tripfags, for fear of losing their anonymity.

>>2511796
HTC + WINMO 4LYFE

>>2511014
Shit. This is going to be both horrifically sad and result in some terrific stories.

I submitted my panel idea back in November (Batman is awesome: the panel) and after not hearing anything from them since, I pretty much figured they passed on it

I check the schedule today, and there it is.

Would have been funny had I waited until I was at the con to check the schedule

wanted to go so I could be with my sweetheart on Valentine's Day, but I can't afford to go and the con is more important to her ;__;

>>2512940
Ah, I have heard of the panel in Tigercon 2009, but I never attended that panel because I had to get back all the way to college park from Towson University.

Good thing I'll get to see it this time.

>>2512940
Hahah, that's your panel? I saw the title and thought "I must go to this." Well done, you should have a decent attendance.

I'm debating whether to buy a con badge or not.

Usually I just dick around in the main lobby areas with my friends and get pictures taken. Do I need a badge to get inside the convention area? Excluding the obvious rooms/areas.

Otakon everyone was required to have a badge, so I'm confused here.

You may wanna re-evealuate your relationship if your girl is choosing an anime convention over you.

Just, y'know. Just sayin'.

>>2513137
You shouldn't need a badge to get inside the Gaylord, since not everyone staying there will be with the con. Plus there are shops and restaurants in the Gaylord that regular people patronize on the weekends. They could never enforce checking badges at the main doors.

>>2512948
at tigercon it ended up being about me and 15 people discussing the epicness of Arkham Asylum, Music Meister, and various fighting games until Tigercon staff told us to leave because they were closing the convention.

I hope Katsucon's version is just as epic and fun

>>2512978

11pm-midnight on saturday, be there

So someone was saying in an earlier Katsu thread that there weren't a whole lot of fast food places in the immediate Gaylord area. He/she recommended just getting a room at a different hotel with a kitchen, which actually ended up costing less per night than the Gaylord. Which hotel was that?

>>2513995
Yes, it's either the Hampton Inn or the Residence Inn, they both have kitchenettes and microwaves. Ordering Chinese food and pizza for delivery is also an option as well.

I bet that a lot of the takeouts in the area will get a lot of business on the weekend of Feb. 12

>>2514240

Speaking of takeout and delivery... there are two Chinese restaurants that do deliver: Yum's Carryout and Beijing Hunan Restaurant, both located in Oxon Hill!

>>2514240
>>2514313
I remember the pizzeria that delivered to the hyatt at katsucon last year.

We called and asked "for the chef to challenge himself and make the hottest hot wings he can possibly make" what a joke that turned out to be

>>2514415
What happened in the end?

>>2514423
well, they ended up being barely hotter than normal wings (someone in our room ordered regular wings from the same place the next day and they ended up being just a little less spicy) ended up being a big dissapointment

Pic somewhat related. The guy who called in for those wings took the sushi this picture advertised (it was set up at someones booth at the artist alley), covered it with wasabi, and ate two pieces. His only reaction was a 'meh' and a shoulder shrug.

Serious important question:

Do they have hentai dubbing at Katsucon? I feel like that would be on the schedule but I can't find it. Hasn't Katsu done that in the past?!

>>2514503

Should have ordered some Wing Zone wings.

so when's the party?

>>2514677

Friday or saturday night, haven't decided when.

I'd like to nominate a reprise of the lingerie party that never was.

See, this is why I go to cons. The parties. Anime AND GAMING is good and all. But parties are what makes a con.

>>2514749

Don't look at me. Talk to Katsu, SHE'S THE ONE WHO PUSSIED THE FUCK OUT. TALKING HUGE ABOUT SOME BIG PLANS AND SHIT.


Fuck man, I was the ONLY person there with my pants around my ankles, hell I was even showing ass for a good while.

Everybody: pants off at midnight.

Is anyone else disappointed in the maid cafe selection

http://www.katsucon.org/programming/maid-cafe/

>>2514774
I wasn't wearing any pants either! It wasn't my fault that it didn't happen!

>>2515024
Seriously! There is one on there that I genuinely have no clue to its gender...

>>2514979

Fuck it, I'm ready.

>>2514979
I like where this is headed.

>>2514677
When party cat declares it

>>2514979
I'm not opposed to this. Kind of reminds me of the annual no-pants subway ride.

Which day?

Looking forward to the drinking contest between Masa and Boone. Then distracting lovely Penguin Bra with my amazing pectorals. (Boone and his lovely are having issues with 4chan and ISPs, so sadly they can't be here to talk mad shit >:[ )


YOU BETTER NOT BACK OUT MASA.

Also, no pants Strike Witches debauchery. Katsu's gunna be fun on a bun this year.

Will there be brosoup and inhibited philosophical debates like they promised me? :3

Holy shit. I was excited about Katsucon, but this thread has made me really fucking excited.

Pic related; it's how I feel.

>>2514979
I'm so down for this. Im bringing a megaphone. Come 12 o 'clock I'll yell "PANTS DOWN!" from our atrium balcony and everyone strip down to your skivvies.

>>2515663
What the fuck is that thing?!

>>2515708
A sandwich for a real man

>>2515708

DUH, bacon sammich. FUN ON A BUN.

DOGS DON'T KNOW IT'S NOT BACON.
But I do.

>>2515709

This person knows what's up. HIGH FIVE.

>>2515712

Forgot my picture

Fine, let's do it, then. How does Friday night sound, since most biiiig parties are on Saturday?That way, at least people will still be out and about.

Friday night. Clock strikes Midnight. No matter where you are or who you're with -- drop your pants and don't put them on again until Saturday morning (this part is optional).

We'll call this the Annual KatsuCon No Pants Party.

>>2515711
>>2515709
My phone wasn't opening the picture before, but I see it now. Brb, foodgasm.

I've been hearing some pretty bad reviews about the Gaylord lately...

faggots,

Let's just all go fucking rock Katsucon! Staff and venue may suck, but we'll make our own fun!

>>2516257

Thats what I do at every con. Katsucon is no exception. Shit will be bananas once I go.

/This is why we can't have nice things

i will be at katsu hosting some panels. as for the Manny Camacho stuff, I know the guy personally, and hes actually a good guy who knows his shit. His game rooms are always staffed well and i have yet to see any problems arise.

>>2516944
Ah, we meet again. I've saw you on AUSA's Con Zombies and on the Tone It Down Series on Katsu 2008 and 2009.

>>2516949
Good to see that you'll come to Katsucon 2010. Too bad, that the tone it down series will no continue this year.

>>2516949

Nice. We'll be bringing up a new version of con zombie survival guide.

The crew you saw me with are all Nerdfit.com

also, i never heard of the tone it down series? what was mentioned about me? im in the mood for a good laugh

tone it down?

>>2516958
I remember very clearly that you were part of the audience in Tone It Down 2: Tone it Donwer in Katuscon 15, wearing that hat that displays the words "The Internet" I even recorded some portions of the your responses with my camcorder.

You may not remember though.

>>2516944
So does that mean you actually got a confirmation email for your panels? I saw what I think was my panel posted but haven't gotten shit for an email.

>>2516976
to my understanding no one did, I know I didn't,
and a friend of mine who is hosting another panel didnt get one either

>>2516970

OH ok. I do remember now. My co-worker that does panels with me (Host of Zombie Survival) knows the guy who runs that panel.

>>2516976

Our panels were confirmed in person with a staff member i know, so we didnt need to recieve an email. thats odd they didnt send out confirmation e-mails though..

>>2516944

Give it time, its nearly impossible that someone could pull as big a fuck up as Kunicon and not have some form of a repeat. Wonder if he's going to double dip the dealers at Gamme this year like he did at the other cons.

If their website name is any indication he hasn't figured out the whole not ripping names off of other cons thing yet. http://www.gamm-expo.com/

>>2517332

What the year is this? 1997? Those graphics look like shitbuns.

Most people I've talked to think this may be Katsucon's last hurrah. Aside from being kicked out of the Gaylord, no one seems to think the con will be able to recover from this.

>>2518780
But what if they have not kicked out of the Gaylord after the first year, will the Katsucon Curse be broken?

>>2518786
The Katsucon 'Curse', as long as I've experienced it:
03 - Snowed in. Shit was kinda cash, looking back on it.
04 - Anthrax scare. Bag of baking powder in the elevator, iirc.
05 - Split between hotels, walk in the freezing cold, one hotel under construction.
06 - Omni growing pains? I don't remember anything really bad happening.
07 - Inclement weather? Entire back area of Omni was ice (FUCK YEAH PIZZA BOX SLEDDING)
08 - Vandalism, kicked out of Omni ...wait that was 3 years at the Omni, wasn't the contract only for 3 years?
09 - Crammed back into Hyatt

So... There have been years where there wasn't much of a curse. Things with the Gaylord might not be bad.

>>2518955
>08 - Vandalism, kicked out of Omni ...wait that was 3 years at the Omni, wasn't the contract only for 3 years?

Yeah 2006, 2007, and 2008. Yeah, three years.

>>2519013
So the crap I heard that, oh the Omni broke contract and Katsu got a load of money from it and that's how they could afford the Gaylord, was bullshit unless the contract was longer... Otherwise they just said "No we don't want you back next year."

>>2519053

Damn, how bad was the Omni trashed to get that response?

>>2519357
IIRC someone shit on a couch

>>2519357
Straight from my own personal archive:

>Anonymous 01/13/10(Wed)00:38 No.2481136

>The Omni bought out the contract from my understanding. Both years they were there the place ended up trashed.

>First year someone decided to kick in the front of the soda machines on 2 or 3 different levels and at one point there was a broom sticking out of the wall in front of registration. Second year if I remember correctly was just as bad with damages.

>>2519423
Wait, you mean the couches at GameKatsu?

>>2515024

I'm in the maid cafe, i recently had to spend the night with the twats :/ they're an....interesting group. Just be lucky the broken faced trannie with the fairy-themed hot topic cami/stretch pants combo,blue fox tail and ears, and pigtails hasn't posted his picture yet. i feel for whoever gets served by the bastard

there was massie damage to the hotel last year and its rather upsetting considering how wasted my crew gets and we manage to not destroy anything.,

>>2519423
Also vandalism and some guys broke one of the tables in the cafe area. Honestly, it pisses me off what poor manners my peers have. My crew gets shit faced too and still have fun without breaking hotel property. There is no defending that kind of behaviour.

Look, I know your parents hate you and love giving their little problem to someone else for a weekend but grow the fuck up.

The DC/Virgina area attracts some of the biggest btard fucks ever. At least Otakon is big enough to thin it out but good luck, Katuscon.

what IS this??

>>2519733
>The DC/Virgina area attracts some of the biggest btard fucks ever.

Damn, how and why?

>>2515720
Damn, do you really have to ask

>>2515720
Just e-mailed your pants off plan to the hotel's general manager. Have fun trying to pull that off now without getting kicked out.

>>2519865
THANK GOD YOU DID! I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE WOULD BE WITHOUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU, OH SAVIOR OF THE INTERNET.

>>2519865
I reported your mom for being such a rabid cockhound.

Seriously there's sloppy blwojobs and then there's DON'T COME CLOSER YOU MIGHT HAVE RABIES.

>>2518955
God, Katsu 07 was fun. Ice drifting in the Omni parking lot. They weren't happy about that, but they couldn't tell that I was part of the convention.

>>2519865

Tell 'em. I don't care.

Because of this, I now plan to make my party the biggest party at Katsucon. All you've done was galvanized my efforts.

Fuck you strictly-in-bed-by-9PM-faggots that go to cons.

I'm wrecking your shit now with style.

>>2519865

>>2520165
Don't worry. Your lights will be out by 8:30 flat.

I'm sorry your parents didn't love you more.

I still think the Gaylord staff is going to shit a brick and try to force anyone wearing anything remotely skimpy to change. Damn shame. There were a few girls I was looking forward to seeing half-naked.

>>2519865
whoa, who shit in your cereal broski?

I for one will still be dropping my pants at midnight

shit, i was planning on doing that anyway

>>2520165
I'm sure you three will have one banging ass party, bro.

>>2520369
U mad?

You know, if the schedule wasn't already a poor indicator of how shitty this con will be; the tripfag fuckery plans just seem to prove it all even further.

I might just skip out on a con badge and just try and enjoy the only time I'll be going to the Gaylord Hotel, cause Katsucon's definitely gonna be kicked out of this place.

>>2520846
Explain how this years schedule is a poor indicator that this year con will be shit?

>>2520165

Just watch out for the undercover PG County PoPo's that will be trollin' the con.

>>2520867

Because the schedule sucks ass? Seriously, there isn't a single interesting panel on the whole thing.

>>2520883

Does the city have a curfew law? I almost hope it does just to see the shit that happened a few years back at AMA happen here.

>>2520883
They see me walkan'
They lookin'
Patrollin'
they tryin' to catch me wearin' dirty.

Sorry I can't resist.

But in a very serious note, if you are arrested on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, your weekend is fucked. Don't expect to see a judge until Monday morning.

>>2520921
that's not the case everywhere. some places have weekend arraignment. not sure what they do in PG county though...

2005 was a mess so bad I'm waiting to see a good Katsu before attending again. Staff were cursing out people in the hallways, it was 3hrs to get art from the art show from a pile on un-alphabetized papers, and nothing went on schedule.

For some reason I doubt a good Katsu will happen.

>>2520897
Yes, the county has a curfew law for youth under 17. It's listed under Section 14-102.

>Sec. 14-102. Curfew for juveniles.

>(a) It shall be unlawful for any person under the age of seventeen (17) to be or remain in or upon a public place within the County during the period ending at 5:00 A.M. and beginning:
>(1) At 11:59 P.M. on Friday and Saturday nights; and
>(2) 10:00 P.M. on all other nights.

>>2520921
While weekend arraignment can occur in major cities in the US, Prince George's County and in general the State or Maryland does not currently do that.

I actually visited the Prince Georges County Jail on Summer of last year for a college assignment and they explicitly told me that I get arrested on a weekend you will not be arraigned until Monday morning.

>>2520897

The city of Baltimore has a pretty strict curfew law and I don't see it effecting the underage attendees of Otakon much.

Uugh. I haven't even planned to make anything new for this Katsu. I have no motivation to care for this con at all. I am only looking forward to Katsu for a weekend away from bullshit to get stupid drunk in old costumes and hang out with people I almost never get to see. SAKU. CAN I KIDNAP YOU AFTER THE CON AGAIN. WE CAN TOTALLY DO LINES OF HARD DRUGS OFF THE NON-EXISTENT PENISES OF YAOI MANGA BOYS.

On a side note, I was at the Gaylord last month for some ice sculpture thingie, It's an awesomely huge, gorgeous place, though the lack of cheap eats in the area is pretty upsetting. I do miss the McDonalds across the street from the Omni.

Oh, I also want to punch the person in charge of the rave in the goddamn face. Greg Ayers all night Saturday? And he insists on forcing the DJs to take requests and play multiple styles of music in a single set... If that's what you want, just put a fucking ipod on shuffle. I know a few DJs who turned down spinning there because they won't allow them to play the kind of music that they play... Why the hell would you tell an electro DJ to add happy hardcore, dubstep and techno into their set?! It doesn't fucking work that way... :| raaah.

>>2521889
Happy hardcore is fucking shit and the reason why I don't go to these dumb ass dances anymore because of the shit taste of the DJs and the kids that "dance" to that terribad music.

Pumped for Katsu, it shall be awesome.

>>2521889

actually dubstep and dirty house work quite well into an electro djs playlist. Also its a rave, how do you expect to have electro -all- night? If you want to stomp you need 140bpm in there somewhere. HH sometimes pushes it but without jump style and some hardcore beats where is the anthem. Have you been to city after hour clubs?
Since its an animu rave they should mix in certain animu style dj's like red alice and D.J. A.Q. for that hard hitting sound. maybe even some capsule and perfume remixes. just sayin.

There needs to be a /cgl/ gathering so I can show up slightly intoxicated and make so many friends.

>>2522060
Why not we do a meetup at 11pm Friday.

>>2521889

Electro is fucking garbage...I would kill to go to one of these "raves" and actually see a DJ who is able to properly mix Dub and D&B...but that day will never come...fuck, every DJ I've ever seen play at these things can barely mix simple electro shit...

>>2521889

I can tell, this is going to suck badly.

Fuck, and I was hoping Katsu had okay raves (a la Fanime)

>>2522094

electro is hard to produce, it changes quickly and expects you to fit everything in the length of a typical song, not a progressive mix. It has its moments. look up boys noize. Regardless its not rave music..its more..clubbing music, or lounge type. I think if ur going to throw a rave, keep it to the basics: dnb, hardcore, prog trance, jump style, anthem music. and let the kids have fun.

Balls out

>>2522129
>Katsu
>Okay raves
Lolin forever. Katsu raves suck a big fat pickled dick. And Greg Ayres is spinning? Oh fuck, I hope someone steals his Nitroglycerin before he goes on stage.

>>2522741
>Nitroglycerin
Wat?

>>2522802
Heart pillz, homeboy.

>>2515720
Will do this in cosplay and everyone else should, too.

>>2522741
God he's fucking terrible. I don't see why they can't just hire out a local DJ.

Up north, 80% of the time they know what they're spinning and are good at it.

>>2523259
Some variety wouldn't hurt either. Other than that superhappy rehashed anime & 4chan meme mashups.

>>2510017
not sure if its worth anything to anyone, but the maid cafe is going to be in the sports bar at the gaylord :) fancy place, too

>>2523378
You got any proof of that? I can't see it on the katsucon website. I also sent a tweet back to the Katsucon twitter regarding the arcades.

I can't believe this thread is still alive for almost five days.

>>2523403
Believe it, homebrew. As the time between the present & Katsucon dwindles, threads like this will increase in lifespan. Also, does anyone have an idea on how much parking will cost, or if there any lots that offer come and go parking on the cheap?

>>2523425
Can;t remember exact price, but most were $20.00 a day or cheaper. Not bad at all.

Apparently the new con chairman has revealed himself on the Katsucon Boards: Keith Mayfield.

But who's the new Chairman of Katsucon Entertainment?

>>2523425
Shouldn't be too expensive, though it is DC.

>>2524079

What happen to the old one? Election?

>>2524386
The national harbor is not part of DC, it's in Maryland.
>>2524711
If you read the other progress thread for Katsucon 16, you'll learn that collete ,the con chair for the convention, has resigned.

>>2524778
From one anon of cp to another, why are we not friends?

>>2524827
What are talking about?

>>2524876
I meant "What are you talking about?"

HOLY fuck can someone answer me how they picked some of these maids? Most are o-kay but holy fuck the picked some fucking hambeasts.

>>2519621
FFFFFF, I'm in it, too. Fortunately, I didn't spend the night with that lot.

>Just be lucky the broken faced trannie with the fairy-themed hot topic cami/stretch pants combo,blue fox tail and ears, and pigtails hasn't posted his picture yet.

Were you in the room for the part where he was running around with no pants? I wanted to push him off the goddamn balcony.

>>2524880
We're both anons in College Park? Why aren't we friends? I don't know how else that could be taken.

>>2510982

Yeah man, I always look forward to Katsu. Hatas wanna hate.

>>2524909

Dude. Can someone tell me if that Tenebrae person is a man or woman? I legit cannot tell. It looks like a guy I know in a ratty wig.

>>2524940
Why not? Here's my AIM: Jkid232

>>2523403
I'm working in the maid cafe, was down there for some training already. so it's definitely there

Look for me at the maid cafe, im a butler, my name is Mushi Mushi Sugoi Kawii Desu Desu Death Note Super Sayan Three In Defense Mode :3

He would not leave me alone!

>>2526363
....this is amazingly accurate.

>>2521866
I TOTALLY MISSED THIS BUT YES THE SNORTING OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF UNDISCLOSED RECREATIONAL DRUGS OFF NON-EXISTENT PENISES OF YAOI-MANGA BOYS.

I am so excited.
Except I leave at 2 on Sunday D;

>>2526261
Balls, I don't know how to respond and remain anonymous. I'm the one who was super annoyed all day because people kept speaking horribly butchered Japanese (I mean, it's to be expected, but that was just painful). Who are you? I don't want to be left alone with the crazies...

>>2521963
Don't you diss HHC >:U

HAY U GAIZ.

The Christfag Broken Marriage Con shit we'll be sharing the Gaylord with (Twogether Ministries) has an estimated attendance of 2900. That's large enough to be fairly entertaining. Wonder what they're gonna bitch about first? Fat yaoi fangirls slobbering on each other, skanky Yokos, shirtless Kaminas, or something gay like Wolfwood's cross (like at Ohayocon). Not as entertaining as cheerleaders, but just as easy to troll.

>>2526640
I googled Gaylord National and "Twogether Ministries" and I get nothing.

>>2526640
You might be talking about this website:
http://www.two-gether.com/

>Upcoming Couples Seminars
>Two-gether Intimately—Understanding and Meeting Your Mate's Sexual Needs
>February 12 - 13, 2010
>Devon, Alberta

Where did you got your information from?

>>2526726
>>2526707
http://www.twogetherministries.com/upcoming-at-fbc/weekend-to-remember-february-12-14/

It's been posted here before. Probably earlier in this thread, too.

>>2526867
Hooooolyyyyy shiiiiit. This could be lulz or fail.

>>2526867
Oh my god. The Gaylord might as tell together ministries straight up to move their convention to another weekend. It will be a potential disaster.

>>2519749

he's a cool guy for sure.

just not the smallest, he does not look as ogreish in person, but he does have that hair.

so the meetup is friday at 2?

>>2527705
We have not decided that yet.

http://twitter.com/GaylordNational/status/8252761163
