:C COSPLAY PLANS FELL THROUGH </3 Red Arrow and suparseekretkawaii cosplay going to happen.

Can't wait for this! Kind of lineface that the Artist Alley is going to be a lottery system but whatever. At least it'll be in a bigger location than years past.

fuckyeahletsdoit

Already bought my tickets, now my girlfriend and I just need to find a place to stay.

In before tripfags setup shop in this thread and make it into their circlejerk chatroom.

It's gonna be fun on a bun

>>5176803
In before you cry and poop your baby diaper

I'm psyched, got some fun shenanigans in the works for the con-goers (and maybe some bystanders too!)

Excited!
Been working on my cosplay over the break. Cant wait until the semester's over so I can work on it all day erry day.

looking forward to ALA. Already book a room if anyone is interested.

Sent from my iPhone.

Purchasing airfare this weekend.

Anyone know when is the Tiger&Bunny gathering gonna be?

>AA is now lottery system and has a new location.
Cool story ALA
Cool.
Story.

So what's the big problem about the AA lottery system? I have a couple friends who've been trying for years to get a spot at ALA but never do, cause if the spots go up at 7:00pm, at 7:00:05 all the spots are taken.

At least with a lottery everyone's got an equal chance, seems to me. I don't draw/craft/sell anything so it doesn't really affect me personally.

It's gonna be SO GOOD.

Red and I are gonna b-b-blow it up.

You know it'd be much more attractive of you if you didn't put up the blatantly slutty/whore facade.

Seriously, please just stop doing that to me. It's beneath you.

Mobile party box makes its return at ala. Woot woot.

So I heard this was DRUNKcon?

What's up Anons, names, and trips. This ya boy Maguma representin' Anime Los Angeles 2012. This year's party roster is gonna be filled with cosplay, tacos, chess, drinks, bean bags, and a WHOLE lot of mo' fuckin gold fishes from the con suite. So raise a glass, of Mountain Dew Throw back. Because ALA is going to be prime!

Day 0 Ice Cream social. I'll see you all there >BD

>>5178252
AWW YEAH

>>5178258
That's PMX sweetheart

>>5178200
I think first come first served is still the fairest way to allot AA tables. Yeah, you have to be fast, but there's minimal influence or involvement of the AA staff. I'm a little wary of lotteries because the results could easily be tampered with without anyone outside of the staff knowing.

I dunno, I generally have faith in first come first served. Not getting a table is pretty frustrating, but at least you know there's nothing you could've done about it anyway and that you had the same chance as anyone else. But I guess we'll have to see.

>>5178260
TACO PARTY IS BEST PARTY

Aw man, I can't wait! ALA first timer, here. I've been waiting to sign up for AA too, I hope they open up registration already.

Also
>43 days left
FUCK COLLEGE SEMESTER, HURRY UP AND END ALREADY SO I CAN WORK ON COSPLAY

>>5178260
That's not what I heard but since I this will only be my second convention we can make it so

>>5178272
Registration goes up on Monday and lasts until Wednesday. We'll find out if we get in on Thursday. Remember that you only get half a table if you get in. Kind of a bummer, but that's how they manage to cram in more artists and stuff.

>>5178274
I won't lie to you. People drink at all cons. But ALA is not DRUNKcon. It's PMX. Hands. DOWN.

ALA is party socialize and make friends con. Also, all y'all should sign up for chess. I need applications and you all make good costumes!

Oh boy oh boy. I'm so excited for ALA. I haven't gone in the past couple of years and I still plan on bringing treats for the meet up/gathering thing.

I just hope no one's allergic to nuts/almonds/pecans/chocolate or anything. If so, I'll bring some snickerdoodles.

>>5178274
>>5178290
Theres pretty much nothing else to do at PMX, so yeah, drunk con. ALA for a dinky small con has a surprisingly large amount of things to check out. And ppl to meet everywhere.

>>5178290
IDK BOUT THAT BRO.

I'm going to be one drunk Redfield.

>>5178290
I remember that one time you said you invented cosplay chess.

>>5178344
Did I? Because I came up with it out here I'll tell ya that much. 5 years running strong!

Either way y'all should sign up. I've got lots of space for awesome peeps.

bump

Double bump

>>5178390
Right... More like you heard it from another con and copied the idea.

bump

Still going. Super excited for Tiger & Bunny mostly.

When is that anyways? I keep hearing either Day 1 or Day 2 obviously..

>>5178390
Hmmm I'd totally register but I'd have no idea what to bring to the event. Cosplay Chess at ALA is fun, even if you didn't invent it our not.

>>5179463
Actually I didn't. I was 17 and Anime Expo and PMX were the only cons I knew about. You act like it's impossible for multiple people to have similar ideas. After hosting it at AX 07 I started hearing from people about Metrocon's chess. Then went to sakura con and discovered they do it, and friends of mine in Utah do it at their con.

>>5180381

I'm doing it Day 1 in the evening with bros and I think there will be other people, I think the /cgl/ meetup is basically a giant T&B gathering but I don't remember when the meetup is, and then I've heard things about Day 2 as well but hell if I remember when it's supposed to be happening.

Think of it as a magical adventure.

Plane ticket purchased. Flying in Friday night. I need to make sure I finish my delivery route in a timely matter that day. Thankfully the airport isn't too far from the FedEx terminal.

>>5180381

My friends and I plan on doing T&B on Saturday.

>>5180537
You say that like it's impossible for you to hear about it through the interwebz about other cons were doing it.

>>5181546
Because I didn't. I was new to con going, didn't know about the other cons. I like your reading comprehension.

willing to bitch about anything, jesus.

>>5181560
You're a liar.

>>5181546
Let's go ahead and say that Maguma didn't invent cosplay chess and did get the idea from another con, what does that really accomplish? Cosplay chess has become a staple event at ALA for 5 years and is an attendee favorite, will spreading the word that he copied the idea from another con kill the people's enthusiasm for it? Will all of a sudden people stop applying to be chess pieces or attend the event cause they're in a copy cat panel? At the end of the day Cosplay Chess is a fun event and people participate to have fun,

There's plenty of panel and show ideas that cons copy from each other that no one really gives a damn about. "Who's Line is it Anime", convention stand-up and dance panels and cosplay burlesque pop up in cons everywhere, Does this happen simply because we just have a bunch of copycats or is it simply because these are good ideas worth sharing with other conventions?

>>5181573
There's a difference between hearing, copying, and admitting to it versus hearing, copying, and proclaiming to the world that you were its inventor. You can't tell the difference because you are too busy kissing tripfag ass.

>>5181572
>>5181584
And we're arguing about a game of roleplay chess. I thought it'd be a cool idea, we hosted it, turns out other people do it elsewhere. This kind of scenario happens everywhere. Life goes on kid.

SO TO GET BACK ON TRACK! HOW BOUT DEM COSPLAY PLANS??

I'll be cosplaying as Male Blue Rose for this.

>>5181584
There's also a difference between a post being made saying that Maguma invented the idea to a post being made saying "if Maguma copied the idea so what we're having fun"

You can't tell the difference because you're too busy being an ass.

Is it just me or is G the biggest beta, kiss ass ever?

>>5181907
Or maybe everyone's in some dumb argument that's entirely irrelevant.

Fuck it. ALA's approaching. Time to have some fun!

>>5181907

You just noticed that?

It's funny how no one cares about this thread but tripfags keep trying to necro-bump it anyway.

>>5181876
I'm not sure how I feel about this, but intrigued none the less...

So this there actually going to be a masquerade at this convention or what?

>>5183074

Yes, on Saturday night

>>5183074
Why wouldn't there be one?

>>5183074

If by 'masquerade', you mean 'cosplay contest', then yes. If you mean 'masked ball', then no.

>>5183496

i think Anon meant, have sex with Mika.

>>5185360
back off yo. No one can have my Vanilla Bear D:<

>>5185360

What?

Anyway, bump. What's everyone's cosplay plans?

>>5189096
wait..what, i thought it was mika and ita not mika and maguma

MAGUMA!

>>5189245
ME

>>5189197
nope.gif

I love how maguma has been keeping this thread on life support for the past week with continual bumps despite getting minimal replies or interest.

>>5190994
I bookmarked it.

I love how much you care about what I do. Is Pixyteri not entertaining you well enough?

>>5190997
>read this
>pixyteri thread is on the front page
>whelp.jpg

>>5191000
dem trips

But yeah. my point exactly.

...I'm going :D

>Haven't really started costumes
>This week is Quiet Week meaning it's constant quiet hours so people can work because finals are next week
>Sewing machine is loud as fuck
>Can't sew this week or next week
>Going home for winter break and can't take sewing machine with me
>Going to ALA immediately after winter break

WELP.

Hey Maguma how about a fightan cosplay chess this year? Instead of some faggot ass roleplay fight they duke it out in UMvC3 or Tekken Tag 2.

>>5190994
Well... he's excited for ALA, and I'm actually glad he bumps the thread because I've been creeping on it anyways.

I can't wait for ALA~~~
Probably gonna do a Vocaloid cosplay... XD Just be Friends Luka, and Saihate Luka, lololol.

So excited for this year!!!

>>5191019
An interesting concept. But that's too genre specific.

>>5191025
I bet you are ;D

>>5191045

You can call it Fightan Chess instead, cosplay not required.

>>5191065
Pffffff this would only appeal to people who play fighting games though. it loses it's appeal.

>>5191066
What about Cosplay Fight Club?

>>5191069
I'd host that. But not at ALA

>>5191069
downnnn. heres the rules: the fights over if someone taps out, nuts are off limits, no weapons

>>5191070

What a pussy. All talk, no bite.

>>5191025
BENSON
I MUST MEET YOU THIS TIME AT ALA

>>5191066

It's still fun though

Well, I got my/our room booked for ALA. Yea we live close enough to commute, but we need the convenience of the hotel room for cosplay plans, mostly Harley's. My cosplay plans are, if they go well, Arkham City Riddler and possibly passing out ribbons if you can solve my challenges!. Possibly another round of my Scarlet Spider for this. I don't know what day 3 will be, but I'll probably end up being a sports junkie and end up at the sports bar all day at con Sunday.

ALSO SIGN UP FOR COSPLAY CHESS!! If my plans get OKed by the con, I'll be showing highlights of prior years cosplay chess at ALA.

>>5175905

father from squidbillies, and tim from Tim and Eric. Oh shit and that jackass from sealab 2021

I love you Maguma

>>5191077
ALA is a family run convention. I could never get that event approved officially and if I were to run it unofficially I'd be kicked out of staff :/ I'm being smart, not scared.

>>5191555
I love sealab!!! :D


>>5191589
I love you too :]

>>5180628
>>5181427

hmmm I'll probably wear Kaede for part of both days then. I don't want to miss anyone!

>>5191018
WE WILL SEW ANYWAYS. THIS IS WHAT THEY GET FOR BLASTING KATY PERRY WHEN WE ARE WORKING ON ESSAYS

>>5191795
OKAY!
ALSO PLAYING LOUD MUSIC AT 9 AM WTF IS UP WITH THAT?

btw Maguma what day is Cosplay Chess? I'm assuming Day 3, but if it's earlier in the con than that, then maybe I'll apply to be Ringo and use the power of DESTINYYYYYYYY~

>>5191803
It's day 1 actually!

I'm sad I can't go like I wanted this year. T.T

I love you Maguma! and I want to hug YOU!

>>5192538
:O okay.

>>5191045
Oh you know it.
>>5191092
WE WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!

Ugh I have somewhat of an obligation to go to Disneyland with my team on day 2.... I have no idea what to do. I don't like Disneyland but I'm captain so I can't just duck out of it...
I guess I'll go on day 1 from when class gets out to whenever I can't see anymore then day three....

Workin on my costume right now.

YOU GAIIIIS im so excited.

>>5192733
Whatcha making?

Paid for my badge and reserving my room soon.

Cosplay-wise, I started on Cody (wig and cuffs from my boyfriend), then I have to get the supplies for Kaworu when I get money in a few days.

I'm going to ALA for the hot bitches. You better not dissapoint me /cgl/.

>>5191018
I tried emailing you a few times but it says your inbox is full and cannot recieve any more messages. ;-;

>>5191019
>umvc3 or tekken tag
not even sf4
not even bb, gg, or god forbid ac3

needs more games with dumb mechanics

Hell, why not just mugen it?

>>5193005
I might be bringing /cgl/ fighter 2 for the Taco party

>>5192937
Don't worry, i'm going

I'm kind of peeved about the Artist Alley situation, but ALA should be fun. Their new arbitrary rules in addition to the lottery is really rubbing me the wrong way. And the guy in charge is offering artists "sorry" ribbons like that will solve everything.

Goddamn, I mad.

>>5193039
/cgl/ fighter 2?

Awesome. Upload pics/vids if you do?

>>5193144
I was a little miffed about that, too. I might just skip out on Artist Alley and just save inventory for Fanime. Oh well. At least they're putting the artists in a bigger room finally though I wasn't there last year, I can only assume they were in the small downstairs rooms.

I need you

>>5193204
Yeah, we were in the small room downstairs, but we actually got a lot of traffic. I'm a little worried that moving it upstairs might mean less traffic for the alley.

Did you see that part in the rules about how tshirts/buttons/calendars/bookmarks need to be hand-made? Ugh, I can't get over how dumb that rule is. I understand the concern that some artists might try to take advantage of the AA like ramy did and mass-produce things but that restriction pretty much cuts down the variety of items we can have at the AA. Not to mention that button makers are fucking EXPENSIVE which is why a lot of artists send them off to companies to get made. And bookmarks are just mini-prints so I don't understand why getting prints done at a professional company is okay but apparently they're not okay with bookmarks done this way? And who the fuck even owns a personal heat press?

I've been hearing lots of good things about Fanime for years now. How is the AA? I was thinking about going next year.

Yay ALA yayyyy gonna bring Penguindrums, Catherine, Disgaea, Pokemon, Idolm@ster, and Beatrice.

>>5193249
>>5193204
>>5193144
I was almost considering doing the AA there next year, but now probably not. Also where could they be moving it upstairs? There's not a room I could think of that ALA used up there. They should really just use one of the even rooms downstairs :\

>>5193304
They are taking over the arcade room I believe.

>>5193353

Where is this even
I thought everything at ALA either took place on the pool deck and the downstairs rooms

>>5193085

u a busta

>>5193373
Its around the corner past the karaoke in that other back corner.

>>5193375
cool

Tripfag thread

>>5193373
It's called the Meridian Ballroom or something. It's where karaoke/vidya games were last year.

>>5193386
>>5193392

thanks broskis
hopefully I can find it

>>5193391
The party don't start till I walk in.

Maguma I need you

>>5194166
Why do you keep necro bumping this, shitbag?

>>5193726
I'm right here?

>>5194170
Because you keep caring about it and I want you to be angry with me for no apparent reason. Now I'm going to self post. Whatcha gonna do?

>>5194178
Nothing. I'll just keep posting.

>>5194178

Holy crap I love your beard. That shit is hot.

Hey, anybody got any drama on Maguma? Let's hear it.

>>5194182
Thank you~

>>5194181
Sounds good~

>>5194183
Yes lets derail a thread about a convention for my sake :/ though I'd be shocked to hear about drama involving me :O

>>5194192

I want drama involving your beard. Post moar beard.

>>5194183
Once he bought 50 dicks from ebay and sucked them all.. But not before slathering them all in copious amonts of chocolate syrup. Ask any tripfag. Most of them where there to watch him as he did it.

>>5194196
Was it when he and God shared a girlfriend?

>>5194196
I thought I bought those dicks at retail price and sold em on Ebay for higher. But chocolate syrup? now we're talkin >;D

So I'm totally bumping this ALA thread. Anyone planning on enterin' der masquerade?

So which cosplayers has been with Maguma? Did he turn them off with his unemployment?

>>5197564
:3

>>5197569
Do you just hang onto popular cosplayers because you can't sew for shit?

>>5197582
fuck sewing

>>5197582
Nah, I hang out with everyone. Popular people, the average con goer. I'm just a social butterfly. But I think I'm pretty decent at sewing. No prodigy, but hey we all start somewhere~

>>5197592
is that why you slept with cassie

Hi. Looking for a ride from norcal. As I always am.
...I'll learn to drive some day...

>>5197545
I might enter the masquerade. If I do it will be another simple walk-on. Hard to find a group when your the only cosplayer in your area.

so what gatherings are they having this year?

>>5175908

WE NEED TO START PLANNING MAN

>>5197881

So far confirmed:
- One Piece
- MLP (FML)
- DRR!!!
- Pokemon
- Adventure Time
- Katekyo Hitman Reborn
- Capcom vs SNK
- Black Butler
- Trinity Blood
- Valve
- Shin Megami Tensei/Persona
- Shonen Jump
- Soul Eater
- Vocaloid
- Avatar (the cartoon one)
- Fairy Tail
- Shugo Chara
- Death Note

Shitty list so far, but still 10 more days for official submissions

>>5193353
I think I'd rather have it in it's regular place. Don't know about that location.

Then where's the arcade going?

Also, don't have my cosplay plans 100%. Bringing Rozalin. Making a Princess Luna costume. If Princess Luna's not done, I'll wear Applejack to the MLP gathering.

>>5197611
Who slept with Maguma?

FFFF I still need a place to stay for 2 nights, anyone have space in their hotel room?

>>5198009
I just lost a room mate so if you're interested I have a space

>>5197564

Okay great because I really don;t want to have to drive back and forth through LA for 2 days D:
You can find my # on facebook and we can plan it out!

>>5198022
>>5198017
>Maguma wants someone to room with him
>This picture is posted immediately

>>5198017
how many people are staying in your room?

>>5198022
PFFF I haven't seen that in ages.

It's not me though. sadly \:]

>>5198031
Can you shoot me a message on facebook? I am tired and cannot recall your name >A<

>>5198047
I have 2 rooms with 8 people in each. both rooms are linked, sleeping bags and air mattresses are being brought. And no more than that amount in either room.

>>5198022
lol, wow.

>>5198051
if you dont mind me asking who will be in each room, like anyone that goes on here?

>>5198069
There are some cgl folks staying with me. G, Mistry, Iori E, Benson, just to name a couple. A lot of the other people are school friends and homies

>>5198051
>Can you shoot me a message on facebook? I am tired and cannot recall your name >A<
>I can't remember your name but you must remember mine right?

Maguma: Lady's Man

>>5198244
;D I do my best.

Nah seriously I feel like ass for forgetting things like names and such and it happens from time to time. Best I can do is apologize and ask

>>5198051
>It's not me though.

You don't need to lie.

>>5198256
Hey, if ya wanna think I've been intimate with ikuy, be my guest *shrug* I've only had sex with 1 tripfag and it wasn't her.

Whatever you say Bizarro

Yo, Maguma, I know it's kind of a day late, but you wouldn't still be accepting apps for Cosplay Chess, would you? Me and my friend are kind of interested, but ALA was kind of a last minute con for us.

Who cares. Can we talk about which tripfag got the misfortune of being with Maguma?

>Oh, hey, an ALA thread! I'm so excited for it this con! I wonder what everyone's saying.
>"TRIPFAGS SUCK TRIPFAGS SUCK. MAGUMA DIDN'T INVENT COSPLAY CHESS."
>"THIS IS WHY YOU ARE WRONG."
>"HATERS GONNA HATE HATERS GONNA HATE."

Fucking hell, I'm going back to bed.

>>5198391
Please do submit still. Deadline got pushed to Dec. 16th

>>5198466
Yeah, stay in bed you fucking brony. We don't want your pseudofurry kind around here.

looking forward to ALA and giving Maguma hugs all day!

Shit, ALA sounds fun and Maguma seems fucking awesome and now I wanna meet everyone who's going there.
Guess I'm just gonna have to wait for Sakuracon instead.
Let's hear it for being 17
and not having cash.

ITT: tripfags keep necrobumping a thread for over a week because they want desperately for people to talk about them.

You fucks are so shameless.

>>5200877
The smell of desperation is strong in this thread.

>>5200877
Selfposting out of spite.

BTW CGL FIGHTER 2 WILL BE AT ALA DURING TACO PARTY FOR FREE PLAY! Working on attaching it to a big screen and possibly with sticks.

So, I'm considering going to ALA but I'm not sure... I've been to AX a lot and to ComiCon once. Can anyone give me comparisons? I'm really curious as to how ALA is. I've heard good things.

I'm still new to /cgl/ so I've never been to the meets, I missed the one at AX cuz I was working at the artist alley, are they fun?

Yes the Sorry ribbons is a bunch of BS. He pulled that last year, too. And the year before that. He's not the one running the AA, he's running the entire Con. The person running the AA is new (not the same person as the last 5 years; worked for Fanime) and busy with school, and so far has been very distracted and dismissive with her replies to artists with concerns.

The AA room wasn't that small. It was the third largest room in the entire ballroom level. And guess what? The move to the LOBBY level, away from the convention, gave us a whopping 6 more tables. With the half-table only policy, that gives 12 more artists! yaaaaaay... So we're in a bigger room with a few more tables, away from the main flow of traffic. I hope those 12 artists are happy, because the other 60 won't be.

The problem with the lottery policy is they implemented it too late into the year, they went on some big whine-fest about fairness and transparency and all the while they just pissed off more people. Do we get more new people this year? Yeah, and that's nice and all that, but they've spent the last few years chasing away some big-draw (haha pun) veterans with some of their rules, and like it's been said already in this thread, they're chasing away a lot of other ones with their new rules. What's more is it puts a huge damper on collaborative artists, because one partner has gotten a spot but the other didn't. So now what do they do?

The ideal situation would be a hybrid system, EARLIER IN THE YEAR. Those 6 new tables and the new room and the new layout are what delayed registration and information this long, on top of the staff not managing their time very well.

Yeah. I was lucky enough to actually get a spot, but I'm kind of apprehensive about the room change. From what I noticed last year, actual congoers (i.e the people who buy shit) spend most of their time downstairs with the rest of the con. THe only people on the ground floor are cosplayers and other hotel attendees or something. Also considering how crowded/slow the escalators are because of all the people going up and downstairs, it's probably going to be enough of an inconvenience to deter people from really browsing the AA as much as the Dealer's hall and everything else. I mean, there isn't anything else up there on the lobby level, is there?

I'm happy that some of my friends and I were able to get tables, but I have other friends who didn't and that room change is going to suck ass. I do have faith in the AA staff to not make this kind of bullshit mistake again, though. I feel like the con's organization as a whole has been kinda wonky this year, and of course the AA was also affected by that. Shit happens, so for now I'll just roll with it but pray it doesn't happen again.

Jen doesn't host parties, she is a party.
There are gonna be tons of parties at ALA, thats kinda how the con works. I usually host one myself. As for a lingerie party, sounds like a terrible idea. Half naked drunk people sounds amusing but not practical.

I got a spot too but most of my friends didn't get in and I'm so cheesed by how they've been handling this year that I don't really want to go at all.
And so far as far as we know there is nothing going on in the lobby level other than AA. They're promising to give us good signage but seriously? When has that ever happened? Unless AA is on the way to something or near a crowded spot and highly visible, moving it away from the con activities never bodes well for the artists.

YEEEEES! I'm so excited to see you're planning on doing this and the prospect of meeting more Steins;Gate fans. What day are you planning to do this on? Maybe share an intellectual experience of drinking Dr. Pepper with your group.
