Do tell more.

My first time ever cosplaying at AX06...

I was told by a bunch of people I was the best Tsubasa Chronicles Sakura ever.


;_; I was so happy.

>>2652769
>implying it's rare to get a pound of beef jerky in America.

>>2652770
They ship: http://www.houseofjerky.net/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=183

>>2652792
Can you find me gator or koala jerky in Wal-mart? I think not.

After spending about a day and a half on my costume, and not thinking I would be very well recognized, I got just as many picture requests and lovely comments on my costume as my friend who was dressed up as a character from a hugely popular anime

felt really, really good man

At the last con I went to I hooked up with a super mega hot guy dressed as Sesshomaru. He stayed in costume while we fucked <3

>>2652797
This is glorious.

Had awesome cosplay sex with total stranger at con.

He was nice enough to call me back the next day.

And the day after.

And the day after that.

We've been together ever since.

Yay.

>>2652802
You said beef jerky not gator or koala.

Walking into my first con.

I had no idea what to expect, and my friends all met with unfortunate accidents. I was all alone, sporting a crappy Axel cosplay. I knew I looked bad. I was scared of being teased, honestly. I mean, I was like, fifteen.

But the moment I walked in, everyone was friendly, lots of people asked for my picture. It was just, such an awesome experience.

>>2652769
>>2652847
I don't know about you, but I would be thrilled to find a store with wall-to-wall fresh beef jerky.

>>2653020

Same here. That's like... Heaven for me.

>>2653020
I'm so glad I picked up some fresh jerky today.

ITT: Every one loves jerky.

>>2653089
damn right we do

>>2653104
HOW TO CATCH SOMEONE FROM /cgl/:

1. Tie a string to a stick
2. Use the stick to prop up a box
3. Place beef jerky under the box
4. Wait
5. Pull string when the bait is taken

>>2653124
Worth it. So worth it.

Mmmm...I loves me some beef jerky.

Unrelated to jerky, but...

Went to my first big con last year, didn't know any one other than my boyfriend. Kinda nervous about being in costume for the first time.

Other cosplayers welcomed us with open arms, made heaps of new friends and had a freakin' great time.

>>2653124
Who says it has to be complicated or have bait? They're willing.

>>2653124

I would take the box, the beef jerky, and possibly the stick. You never know what you can use a box for, after all.

>>2652769
Why photoshop out ingredients?

>>2653168
It's more fun that way!

>>2653178
Then I would just shoot you in the kneecap and give you a 20 second head start to crawl away before I invented a new line of jerky.

>>2653197

You're very violent.

Fine. I would use that 20-second head start to stab you with the stick. Multiple times.

I love you /cgl/.

>>2653214
In that case, I would shoot both your hands as well.

After a truly horrific con experience at last year's ACEN, I was wandering around a convention with nothing to do (I'm not the kind of person who can stay entertained by panels and such for an entire day; especially when I'm in an interesting city), by myself.

After an hour of sitting in the same chair in the lobby feeling sorry for myself, I wandered into the dealer's room and saw a "help wanted" sign at a book/dvd vendor. I asked if I could help, and the owner said "only one hour 'til we close, but stand over there and make sure people don't steal things."

I stood around deterring shoplifters for an hour, and then helped clean, organize and put everything away. After it was all done, one of the staff members said, "Ok, take a book."
"Really?" (I had expected a $5-off cupon at most)
"Yeah. In fact, take two since you didn't bail for the cleaning part."

Sweet.

Since I had told some of the workers my situation (having nothing to do and no-one to see) they said, "Hey, we're all eating free Chinese food and the boss is paying for it, you should come with us!"

Sweet.

After lots of friendly chitchat at the delicious Chinese buffet, they said, "Hey, this guy's birthday is today and we're drinking and having a mini-hotel party after we get back, you should come!"

Sweet.

So I got drunk and bitched about the people I had come with with my new acquaintances and the day turned out to be pretty nice after all.


I never got anyone's contact information though. D: I'd like to work there again as a "real" employee if I can.

My sister and I were at AX, with no money and extremely hungry. We were planning on sharing a candy bar from the vending machine.

We asked some man walking around if he had some change or a dollar, and he gave us a $20 bill.

We ended up eating a nice lunch.

A guy who cosplayed as Burger kun was passing out McDonald's Cheesburgers. He cheered my friend up after having her costume ruined by a jealous fatty. It made our day.

>>2652769
WHY DID YOU NOT SAVE ANY?!
We coulda had 'hot MILF" corner with jerky!!!

>>2652769
My god, this is an outrage! I was going to eat that mummy!

At AB last year I was randomly randomly assigned a team for a trivia event. This could have been disaster but it turned out we all liked Key and got along very well. We even managed to win. We took a group photo and exchanged emails. Hopefully I'll see them all again this year.

I got Scott McNeil's WoW info from him at a con a year or so ago. Been playing together ever since. Ah good times.

>Nervous about wearing a speedo in public
>Get dressed in bathroom
>Walk out the bathroom
>Get stopped 4 yards from bathroom door
>Get stopped all day for 3 days
>Make friends because people remember me from my cosplay
>Get more in depth into cosplay
>Make more friends
>Still in contact with a lot of the people I met at con

Cosplaying Zangief was one of the greatest things I've done. Not because the cosplay was great, but because of all the doors that opened because I did it

>>2653393
I don't really watch dubs but he sounds like a chill dude!

>>2653393

Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuufucker.

>>2653421

He's AWESOME. So much fun to hang with!

I hung out with him and some of the other voice actors at the pool at METROCON last year. It was AWESOME.

Anime Boston 2008:
Wore my Neozeka from Alice 19th on Friday, and while I got tons of compliments and 'OMG, I love that manga!' I didn't see a single Alice 19th cosplayer. Friday night I was wearing a different costume, and saw the most adorable Alice cosplayer, and talked to her for a few minutes. She said she'd be wearing the costume on Saturday as well. I wound up getting pulled away before I could set up a meeting place or anything, so on Saturday I wandered around in my Neozeka for almost 2 hours looking for her (Which isn't all that easy, my Neozeka feet are basicly big fleece pillows with shoes sewn into the middle. I have to kind of waddle when I wear them, which make for both slow going and sore thighs after a while). I finally gave up, since I was meeting a friend for a panel soon, and wanted to change before I went. As I was waddling towards my hotel, a woman came running up to me. "Will you take some pictures with my daughter, please?" I look over her shoulder, and there's my Alice, fighting through the crowd to us. I was so happy, we got a bunch of pictures, and my day was totally made by the only other Alice 19th cospayer in the con. :)

>>2653429
Lol I probably ran into you there. :-O

>>2653423
Ask him. In the very least, he will likely give you one of his characters names. I didn't actually expect him to play with me, but he did. *shrug*

Sage for sort of being off topic.

>>2653429
This.
I met him a few years ago and he is so chill it's awesome.

My friends are all butthurt because a few years ago, Scott McNeil didn't want to do an interview with them. Unsurprisingly, they ignored the logic I was trying to argue about how he probably does it to avoid creepers or being exploited by strangers, but because of that one incident they're all bawwing.

Meanwhile I had a really friendly chat with him and he gave me a hug, his autograph, and some stickers. Feels good man.

>>2653460
It's not only that, but their time at cons is very limited. He, nor most other guests, will do an unscheduled interview with just anyone. That and, jeez, VA's sit at panels and Autograph sessions for hours on end having to tolerate ridiculous questions.

>>2653089
I have a friend who made me promise I would make him a vest made out of beef jerky one day.

Should I make him an entire beef jerky cosplay? If so, of whom?

>>2653863
Music Meister

me and some friends got a slip and slide and some industrial powdered lube and set it up on the grounds near the hotel pool. watched people slide down it and got to shower two girls with lube.

rick rolled FMA voice actors panel. I know it was stupid b tard shit but, I really hate funimation in general.

going to hannazmizuki for dinner, had great conversation about kimonos and all that nerdy shit, the staff were actually japanese and the food was bat shit insane good.

playing hide and seek dressed up as the laughing man with this cute blonde girl, nothing came of it but it was a fun moment. very naww

There was a Professor Layton and Luke at Nekocon last year, and I stopped him to compliment their costumes. The Professor asked me a riddle and rewarded me with a hint coin and a "CORRECT" pose upon receiving my answer. I was like, "Oh yes, this is why I love cosplayers".

>>2654004
Oh my god that is glorious.

Oh shit I might have to do a Professor Layton cosplay now.

>>2654004
I love when cosplayers do stuff like that. At AB last year there was a couple doing Kusuriuri and his other half, so I called out to them. The Kusuriuri gave me an ofuda from the show; he had a whole stack of them to give to fans. I thought it was very sweet.

A group of Baccano! cosplayers at animeFEST a few years ago were handing out chocolate like in the show's OP to anyone who recognized them! they were adorable

>>2654004
There was a fantastic No Face cosplayer that used to come to AZ, they had some sort of frame inside the costume to make them tall enough. Anyway, they would walk around giving gold rocks to people.

I still have mine :D

>>2654004
OH YEAH AND IT WAS A CHOCOLATE HINT COIN.

>>2654028
Yes please and post pics! More Layton is more better.

>>2654059
>>2654080
These are both fuckawesome.

>>2653124
replace the jerky with a delicious steak, and you've got my full attention.

Fanime '09, no friends around, and I had nothing better to do than sit against a wall and play my DS. I was lonely and my feet hurt from walking in heels.

Then, this big guy with a "free hugs" sign came up to me and asked me if he could give me a hug. Now, I'm not to into those stupid "free hug" signs, but I agreed out of boredom.

The instant I stood up, he picked me up bridal-style and started walking while carrying me. I don't remember what he said, but I think it was like... "Where would my princess like to sit and rest? The ground is no place for you to be."

Needless to say, I died of embarrassment. Once he sat me down on a chair, he bowed and asked if he could meet me later. I nodded and he left. I never did meet with him, but damn did it make my day!

bump~!

>>2654128
But beef jerky is portable steak. :U

>>2654888
They make steak jerky, best of both worlds.

I met the anon girl at Katsucon that apparently waited both at the piano gazebo and at the fountains when I told her to meet her there and I didn't show up.

She ended up being cute, among other things.

>>2654908
Aw dude that's real depressing, was hoping more company to show up Friday night.

>>2654917

...I don't remember friday night.

>>2654926
Same here.

>>2654926
Sorry! Glad you two seemed to hit it off alright though!

I bought a Pedo Bear suit off ebay for $80. I planned on bringing it to PMX as a joke, expecting to get laughed at and scare away girls. Ended up getting swarmed by delicious lolis all weekend long. Even better at ALA. I never knew there could be such thing as too much girls, but after passing out in various hotel lobbies I found out that even the most hardcore perverts need to take a break sometimes.

>>2654931

Well, I'm kind of embellishing it.

I stopped remembering the moment I told everyone to get out of the room. The goldschlager ended the night, that's for sure. Putrid stuff, apparently I was saying some pretty drunk things down at the atrium, and that I went to the club on the 18th floor (wat), and I almost fell into the fountains.

I wish people would tell me more what happened. :/ I almost think everyone's just playing a prank on me and I really didn't black out.

>>2654939

>3> Oh yeah, you were there.

my best memory from my first convention was a hilarious WaLuigi cosplayer who made me almost die laughing with his in-character antics. At last year's kumoricon, my brother invited over some people from next door to hang out. while chatting with one of the guys, i mentioned that WaLuigi and found out it was him! I freaked out and gave him a big hug, telling him how hard he'd made me laugh.

>>2654959
Dude I left early before you came back to the room, had to take care of some business. Wish I could tell you your drunken endeavors on Friday, haha.

>>2654969

Except I *know* you're just bullshitting, or you didn't see anything. :p

>>2654945
I saw you several times at PMX and greatly enjoyed it. Thanks man :D

>>2654973
Why would I bullshit? I have no reason to.

>>2654959
I think I was the only sober person in that room.

Katsu was fine overall though! Much better than the years at the Omni.

>>2654984

60% of the time at Katsucon I was in various states of mind. :l I'd say I was sober on sunday but we got back to New York and we decided to buy a crave case of White Castle and..yeah.

>>2654981

'Cause homies don't hide shit unless they're just messing with them. :> And if its going to be like that, I'd rather just be none the wiser.

>>2653451

You did. I KNOW YOU!

Get back to Florida, dernit!

>>2655424
I'll be there either for MetroCon, and if I can't make it...I've got a paid trip to FetishCon. XD

please describe in detail how the jerky tasted and smelled.
