There's already a Katsucon thread, go post there

>>5458466
I think it got bumped off when we were raided by Spiderman threads

>>5458466
Where's the thread? I can't find it.

18yo male here. Can I bunk with any of you guys (or gals, I don't discriminate)? I'll help pay for the room, sleep on the floor, and I promise not to be a dumbass. I can also bring my xbox with SSFIVAE and UMvC3. Any takers?

Where can I meet people to go with to katsucon? I don't want to go there alone. (22guy, not fat or ugly)

>Katsucon is excited to announce that 2012 will be the inaugural year for a new feature, the Cosplay Photo Backdrop!

>This will be an enduring, massive-scale illustrated cosplay photo backdrop, with various genre scenes for attendees to pose and interact in front of. It’ll be located in the Artists’ Alley to bring attention to that other breed of “Artist” who is rarely a part of the established “Alley” – cosplayers – and allow them to directly interact with the two-dimensional art of the artists featured in the Alley. Photographers can then involve themselves as well, combining their work in a spontaneous manner to create art that begins at Katsucon and is created from talent and in a context that is unique to Katsucon.

>The Backdrop will be 60′ long by 8′ tall. It will feature four panels of scenic, background art, similar to the hand-painted cel backdrops in the animes we all love. It will be a high-resolution, high-quality vinyl banner in scale with people standing in front of it, as though preparing an anime cel background in front of which characters – cosplayers – can be displayed.

>Katsucon branding will separate each scene from the next, and artist-specific branding will be included on each image to make sure the art is attributed and that the artists who create the work can benefit from it. The backdrop will include a variety of scenes, covering many themes common in anime and comics.

>RIGHT NOW, WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE OUR ATTENDING ARTISTS TO BECOME A LASTING PART OF KATSUCON’S ART TRADITION!

>At the moment, we are looking for artists interested in creating art for use in this banner. This will entail a very quick turnaround time, and will need to be submitted as a high-resolution (300-600 DPI, the higher the better) .eps file.

>In reward for helping out Katsucon’s Art track in this way, each contributing artist will have their choice of URL’s and branding displayed in the lower portion of their backdrop. They will also be awarded a complimentary table in the 2013 Katsucon Artist Alley.

Hell Yeah! Not as big of a group as usual though, 2 friends are in Japan right now so we only have 10 people.

>The backdrop will have four panels, each of them separated from the next by Katsucon branding. Each panel will depict a separate scene. Two have been assigned, and two remain.

>Phil Kahn from Guilded Age will be painting a mecha-inspired starfield for all your intergalactic and time-traveling needs.

>Eden Benton from Panforté will be painting an interior church scene, perfect for waifu weddings, Code Geass-like secret schemes, Hellsing-like dramatics, and more.

>If you would like to paint one of the remaining two scenes, please read the descriptions below!

>Scene A: A nighttime view of a ninja-esque rooftop, using forced perspective looking up – featuring a moon, clay tile roof. Inspiration from the style of the “Program” short from the Animatrix. (Vector art- Illustrator) Printed dimensions: 15′ wide by 8′ tall.
>Scene B: A bright, sunny schoolyard full of sakura trees, with the school buildings in the background. The sakura should frame the shot so that characters can pose with romantic or moe style beneath them. (Painterly style) Printed dimensions: 10′ wide by 8′ tall.

>None of these backdrops should contain any human figures/characters, and no copyrighted characters or riffs on characters, either. The purpose is for these backdrops to be classic anime contexts into which attendees and cosplayers can place themselves for amusement and to encourage types of interaction in the Artists’ Alley other than transactional interaction.

>If you’re interested in participating, please respond to Emily Smith (artalley@katsucon.org and/or emily.smith@katsucon.org) AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and let me know which scene you would like to paint.

>Any artist is free to choose whichever of the proposed scenes is best suited to their own art style and talent, but remember, there is a tight deadline so please take your available time into consideration when expressing an interest. I will select an artist for each of the scenes immediately and send the technical details required for you to begin work.

Will you use these things, seagulls?

Join if you want or not. Just easier to get updates since we can all check our phones

Friday - 8 and 10pm
Sat - 10pm

SEE YOU NIGGAS THERE.

Gettin' Excited! I've been fixin' up all my costumes and prepping last minute stuff. My bag's packed. Flight is ready. And I'll be good to go~

Anyone here going to the Persona shoot? D:
As well, anyone know of a good palce to get a really cheap, but good looking leather biker jacket?

Still trying to plan out the Tenchi Muyo shoot, looks like only one other person on coscom is going as a character. I rather not plan out a whole shoot just for 2 characters.

On the other hand, planning out my panel is coming along very smooth! Coming up with the questions is easy part, categorizing them sucks... Still not happy about the time they gave me, but oh all!

My costumes are all done, I just need to finish styling my Ayeka wig. Finished dying my bf's fabric, just need to sew it all together! Hes going as Male Classic Harley! Hes laughing at me because im working so hard on it, when it was only suppose to be a joke costume, but seeing how my Harley costume came out like poop for Halloween, i want to make it right this time. And even if he only wears it once, i can wear it after him!

Pretty damn pumped! Planning an awesome con this year, and I haven't been to KCon since it was in Crystal City in '09. I'm putting the finishing touches on my two new cosplays, and making minor adjustments to some of my older ones. And those art backgrounds sound pretty badass.

I ammmm~. I've been freaking out about finishing my Conchita cosplay, but I think I might actually do it.

>>5460188
You fucking faggots.
I thought you were quitting cosplay.

Sad. All very sad.

>>5460188
Lol since when does your boyfriend like cosplay? Or comics? Or conventions? Oh wait...he doesn't. -cracks whip-

I'm going to Katsucon! Maybe I'll see everyone there! I think a male Harley Quinn would be fucking hilarious! xD My girlfriend wanted to do a Male Riddler, which isn't that extreme, but still. I think gender bended comic heroes can be pretty interesting, especially because of how much there can be done to bend the costume to the given gender.

Except for batman. There's already a batwoman.

>>5460247
Vicious, can't we just be civil? I have nothing against you.

Pretty excited. Brining Miss Martian and Rainbow Dash. Two really easy costumes. Excited to just sort of hang around and see people. Will be a nice break from college.

>>5460264
Incorrect! Washu's boyfriend loves Dragon Ball Z to a terrifying level.

>>5460272
It was Brad, Deerie.

Hello there.
David never got into cosplay, Never went to conventions, He's just doing everything to suck your dick.

I'm not being an ass, I'm just saying, It's stupid.
He hardly likes batman, and beside his favorite character was Bane.

It's just silly.

>>5460294
inb4 fucking up my sage.

>>5460272
>>5460294
No one gives a shit. Take your drama somewhere elese.

>>5460264
My boyfriend reads a selective amount of comics, not a huge selection, but a few titles. He also enjoys a few anime series such as DBZ and Tenchi Muyo. He is neutral about cosplay, and wanted to do a gender bender Harley. And no, he is the one that whips me

Oh lovely. Unrelated dramus. Seriously guys, take it somewhere else.

>>5460287
Which version of Miss Martian? I was thinking about bringing Artemis so it would be great to see some more Young Justice cosplay!

>>5460287
Wait, you are doing Miss Martian for sure!? YES! Damn, i wish i still had my Terra wig and mask!

Let me just drop in and clear shit up.

Never liked Batman much, never liked Harley. This whole thing spurred from me joking about putting on Washu's Harley costume and walking around a con just to fuck around.

I've always loved DBZ, ever since I was a kid. Like The Punisher from the movie, downloaded some comics recently and like it a whole lot more. And I don't know shit about Tenchi. I saw it when I was really young and never understood it, didn't much attention past that.

>>5460315
Again not trying to be a dick but WHY.
I mean honestly Why a male Harley?

Like I said he liked Bane, He'd make an awesome fucking Young Justice Bane or a fucking super amazing Zsas.

I just.. I just don't understand.

>>5460341
Originally it was default M'Gann. But the cape ended up getting ruined after it was finished by my friend being careless. So I'm whipping up the Black shirt to do her Black shirt version. I want to have her actual costume done by Otakon.

Please totally bring Artemis, I would freak if I saw more YJ cosplayers. I was slightly into the comics, never liked Cassie too much, and I have been loving this show! Needs more love.

>>5460358
Because it's absurd and stupid. It literally comes down to nothing more than that. It's not even a "This is what a male Harley would look like." It's "Here's a male in a female Harley costume."

>>5460358
>putting on Washu's Harley costume and walking around a con just to fuck around.

The fucker answered your question

I shall post again to bring this back to a relevant topic! I remember last Katsucon. I also remember Otakon. One of them I was incompletely dressed as Jake from Adventure Time, since a friend of mine couldn't go. I looked like a total douche, and no one understood my costume. I didn't have ears, and couldn't possibly do the customized costume justice!

This year I will have no costume. Oh well, I will have fun in my own way there! :D

(now everyone shut up and stop feeding drama trolls)

>>5460349
I can feel you. Personally I loved the comic, but It was awesome to see the show made into...well a show. I can't wait for new episodes to play. I think I will bring her now for sure!

Goddamn you guys have no idea how excited I am. Haven't seen my friends in a year so I get to fag all over them. Finishing up plans for my Hetalia panel, and working on cosplay all the live-long day.

>>5460365
>YJ
speaking of DC, not only is my bf doing Harley, but hes grouping with a Green Lantern (my bff), and a Green Arrow (my other bff)

>pic related, bff as GA

>>5460369
But like... You have such great potential..
At least do the Freeman.

>>5460389
Yeah my roomie loves the comic, she is really upset Bart isn't KF. Which, I would love to see Bart animated. I think if they bring in Wondergirl it'd be Donna Troy though since, that makes more logical sense age wise. Donna is okay. Also don't want it to turn into a giant love triangle romantic bullshit, if Cassie is brought in, between Superboy/Miss Martian/Cassie

>>5460406
I actually planned on it but my tax return came too late for me to get everything together. I'm dicking around in something else though, I think you'll know it's me when you see it.

>>5460158
I'll be there!

I pretty much have all of my stuff done! I'm so excited.

You know what I need to do some year? AnoHana cosplay, as Jintan. It would be a super easy cosplay, and besides, I don't think I'll see anyone doing it. It's such an amazing anime though! D:

>>5460413
Gotcha.

>>5460407
I'm so glad someone else has knowledge of the comic. I hope I run into you!

Psst, guys..

11 days

>>5460456

And a few hours! Don't forget about those troublesome hours! They sneak up on you they do.

>>5460383
>>5460418

Fuck yeah posts that are on topic! And on a random side note, if anyone wants a random little free photoshoot, I'd be glad to do so. I'm trying to get more experience as a photographer and there's no charge to you other than some of your time. SO. I can post some of my photography if anyone wants to see examples too. I just wanna take some nice pictures of cosplayers, really.

>>5460456
>>5460461
Actually.. 10 days.. cause Day 0

Smells like a retarded family reunion in here.

Here's what I'll be bringing...

Harley Quinn - Arkham Inmate
Harley Quinn - Mad Love Nightie
Marceline the Vampire Queen - Evicted!
Catherine - Pajamas

And here's what I'm looking forward to...

Rooming with a shitton of awesome people
Batman hotel party
CD meetup
Cosplaying with the boyfriend and other cool people
And of course other usual convention goodies

>>5460477

Katsu starts on the 17, not the 16th xD Anything that happens on the 16th isn't the con, it's just people who want something to happen before the actual con starts.

>>5460494
thats what a "Day 0" is, silly!

>>5460501
Doesn't count in my book. Not official, not Day 0 }:}D

So, for me... 11 days and a few agonizingly slowly passing hours! Why can't I be a regular person and sleep earlier?

Day 0 does count. Are you fucking stupid?

>>5460494
... Are you kidding? Cons can start on day 0. Badge Pick up, the convention being set up itself, day 0 events, tons of shit happens day 0

>>5460509
You are a fucking retard.

And stop using emoticons on 4chan or go back to gaia.

>>5460719

LAWL applying that emoticons started on gaia. Learn to structure your sentences more effectively, idiot.

Go back to early middle school where cursing sporadically was cool.

>>5460774
>LAWL applying that emoticons started on gaia. Learn to structure your sentences more effectively, idiot.
>Learn to structure your sentences more effectively, idiot.
>LAWL applying that emoticons started on gaia

... It's IMPLYING. If you're gonna make a witty retort or comeback, don't leave yourself so open like that.

>>5460707
>tons of shit happening day 0
>badge pick up

OH BOY SO MUCH STUFF 2 DO.

>>5460790
"applying" can be used in that sentence, in the sense that the user could have been applying that notion to their response. Admittedly, that was my mistake, but it works either way.

>>5460792
I'm smellin' some samefaggin'~

Anyway someone's never been on the other side of convention participation. Just because you don't have something to do doesn't mean others aren't busy. Hell ALA starts day -1 for me :\

>>5460806
Minus the fact that it sounds grammatically silly.

>>5460808
That's your own nigger stink you're smelling.

And please, cut the bullshit. The only thing you're busy with is being a tryhard.

Oh, and protip: They don't let you on the plane without a shirt. You may want to pack one.

>>5460808
I never said other people didn't have things to do. I just said that for myself, the con does not start until the 17th, which is the day posted on the website that the con starts. Just because I see it one way doesn't mean I feel everyone else has to see it that way.

>>5460823
>The only thing you're busy with is being a tryhard
Said the pot to the kettle

Maguma is only going to dick cglchat girls

>>5460823
Don't you ever tell him to put on a shirt.

>>5460845
>look at me, I'm circle jerking! Am I included yet? XD

OMG, WHO THE HELL CARES!
>The day before a con is called "Day Zero"
>not everyone goes on this day
>so not everyone counts it

>back on topic
Am i the only fag that is hosting a panel? Are there any Anons in the house hosting a panel?

>>5460848
If you are hosting a panel, I will so go to it. I wish I could do that, but alas I can not.

>>5460846
Rude...

>>5460848
Hosting one and co-hosting two more.

>>5460856
Why can't you? My panel will be on Friday, noon.
>Tenchi Muyo: NO NEED FOR A GAME SHOW!
> Join Washu as she quizzes audience members on the lore created by Masaki Kajishima! (Tenchi Muyo, Tenchi Universe, Tenchi in Tokyo, Tenchi GXP, Pretty Sammy, ect!) "Answer correctly and win prizes and treats! Then at the end of our show, members will be able to attempt to stump the genius at her own game, but don't forget; WASHU IS THE GREATEST!!! So don't miss out on a flash from Toonami's past!

My friend who is also hosting, might bring be in his Yosho cosplay, but because he isn't sure, he didnt want the character's name in the panel. I heard i wasnt the only panelist that was dicked around by staff. Anyone else have any rants?

>>5460838
>>5460866
>>5460848
>>5460856

>>5460878
what are your panel(s) about?

>>5460889
Shut the fuck up, Scarecrow. Why don't you contribute by posting who you're cosplaying.

>>5460866
Clearly we're before their time.

>>5460906
So majestic...

>>5460906
BRRRRMMM BRRRRRMMM

>>5460914
FUCK THE BOATS.

>>5460905
Oh you know, The usual.

Sex Robot
Box Man
The LMFAO Robot

And that thing...That I posted.

>>5460896
I'm hosting the Hetalia Ask A Nation on Saturday, a Quick Cosplay Fix panel, and the Durarara 18+ one Friday night~

>>5460925
You aren't cosplaying any of these...

>>5460707
Dude are you going to be there on Day 0? If so we need to hang out.

>>5460934
>Durarara 18+ one Friday night~

No idea who you are but that sounds promising.

>>5460934
Wait, Im friends with your Russia!!! She told me about how they messed up your panel's time. Im very sorry, it sounded very frustrating. I hope all goes well. If you end up changing the times, my brother might go.

Going as Kid Flash and Anaru from AnoHana.

>>5460955
inb4 Ivy flips out.

>>5460942
I hope so too! I haven't heard much of it myself actually. All I know is I get to actually use all these dirty pick-up lines I saved forever ago.

>>5460943
Oh really? Awesome! Yeah, we managed to get it changed to 8 that night since all my panelists can actually make it haha.

>>5460955
Don't want to be presumptuous but Wally? Because if so I would love to see you! Kid Flash doesn't get enough love ever.

>>5460970
>>5460966
Too late, lmao

>>5460955
Don't care, I like talking about KF so it isn't a big deal to me. Young justice is pretty cool and meeting new fans of it that aren't hateful and crazy in shipping wars is nice.

>>5460970
Yeah was thinking about Bart, but in the end i figured he wouldn't be recognizable. Might do impulse at some point though. I would love to get some photos with you and whoever said they were going as Artemis. I sort of ship Wally with everyone.

Which day are you doing Miss M?

>>5460966
No one cares. 'Least cosplay talk is on topic rather than random tripfag circle jerking.

>>5460975
Sage because I feel off topic from Katsu sort of;

Please god do Impulse. I have never seen an actual Impulse in person and Bart deserves way more credit. None of the Kid Flash's get enough respect.

Doing her Saturday, MAYBE Friday. Her makeup application involves paint and Pros-Aide so it's going to take about an hour and a half just to get in her costume and have to shower to get it off.

>>5460941
Sure~ My plane lands around 2:45 so I'll probably be on the hotel grounds around 3:30/4 ish. I'm also gonna be wearing this hat, so if that's any help haha.

If you spot me, feel free to give a shout out, I'd love to hang and meet folks :D

>>5460955
>>5460975
>>5460981
>>5460970
samefagging

Does anyone have a tutorial on how to make a collar like Harley's? I would hate to have to buy a whole pattern if I'm only going to be using one thing out of it.

>>5461003
Well no shit. Except for Ivy, since ya know... It's a different person.

>>5460981
I think I still have your number, as creepy as that sounds, so I'll hit you up on AIM before the con to see if it's the same one. I think my flight gets in at 6 or so.

>>5461008
she's talking to herself.

>>5461000
Cool threads, bro.


Trying out for a cast member for Newsies?

>Waiting to see shitstain Maguma

I sincerely hope you guys aren't serious.

>>5461023
Hahaha, yes. I actually played one for a New Years event in LA. The Golden Stag event hosted by Scypher Arts Studio and LACMA. But yeah, I like to dress that way a lot.

>>5461027
It's okay, you don't have to and I hope no one's gonna force you to. So no worries.

Am I the only person going that doesn't have fucking drama? Shit.

Finally got my panel stuff worked out with the con, so if you're bored during the con, consider one of the following during the con:

Iron Chef Japan Showcase: Sat 8:30am
Awesomely Bad J-Music Videos: Sat 4:30pm
Late Night Endurance Run: Sun Midnight

Cosplay wise, doing Kotomine from Fate/Zero and a remake of my Yoshikage Kira from Jojo. Not sure what else I'll bring yet, but there will be a Tom Servo dressed as a Street Fighter in tow.

Going to be a fun time that's for sure.

I'm still waiting for my panel to be cleared with Katsucon. But it's going to be able the basics of imageboards called Imageboards 101.

I got almost everything to make my costume, but I just need to actually make it.

I'm actually showing up to this one. I'm hoping to see all my east coast friends and maybe meet a few more people too~ I haven't been back east in years, so I'm really excited!

I'm being a Rarity gijinka with some of my BFFsies, Koichi Hirose from JoJo, and haha homestuck I'm going to be Gamzee again. It's less about the cosplay for me this time, although I may bring Howl or something.

>>5461066
see you at that music video panel!

>>5461126
Aren't you like 30 years old now?

It's time to quit cosplaying.

>>5461139
i'm flattered you think I'm so young! no I'm 87 years old and I just have a very good plastic surgeon.

>>5461139
Maybe if you look 30, I know lots of 30 yr olds that don't look older than 23.

>>5461153
ok wiseguy how old are you then?

>>5461171
I can't believe I'm even replying to this shit, but whatever. I'm 25 years old; I started cosplaying way young. Am I older than your typical conventiongoer? Yes. Do I try to normally avoid costumes that I look stupid in for any reason other than intended stupidity? Yup. (I love joke costumes, but I've been trying to cut back on the "i'm a middleschool student desu~" despite having Koichi on my list this con.) But does my age seriously affect you in any way shape or form, or make it inappropriate for me to choose to hang out at an east coast convention to see multiple friends at once rather than trying to spend the money to go see them individually? Hell fucking no it doesn't.

So less discussion about Grandma Hanyaan being too old to strap on the blingity bling and more discussion of, you know, things to do at Katsucon? Yeah? Good.

>>5461085

>But it's going to be able the basics of imageboards called Imageboards 101.

Wait? What?

>>5461222
It's time to quit cosplay and get a career going, grandma. You'll never be married at this rate.

>>5461357
Folks such as Marty Gear http://www.scifiinc.net/scifiinc/gallery/bio/Gear,_Marty.htm

And Rick & Karen Dick http://www.castleblood.com/

Would like to disagree with you.

Day 0 meetup? Or we can at least all go eat or hit the bar or something.

>>5461357
>Hanyaan
>Never married

If anything's gonna happen on day 0 I'm happy to participate. I wont get there to 6 (if I skip my statistics class) or 9 (if I go). I don't have a room for Thursday night so I'm not looking forward to sleeping in my car. Dinner? Hangout? I'm driving so I do have a car.

Is there a place you guys will generally be hanging out at for the majority of the con?

I want to make sure to stay the fuck away from there at all times.

>>5461357
>It's time to quit cosplay and get a career going, grandma. You'll never be married at this rate.
>quit cosplay
Fuck you

>>5461791
Seconded. Where's the circlejerk gonna be this year? I'd rather avoid it as a whole.

>>5461810
Up your ass, anon. It's wedged riiiiiight up in there, too.

What's the problem? I just don't want to be around you people. For any reason. Ever. Can't you indulge me?

>>5461153
On a costume related note, BY DEAR GOD THAT WITCH OF THE WASTE.
I want to cry at the beauty

>>5461810
>>5461833
You'll know it when you see it.

>>5461835
>Implying I can differentiate between groups of awkward, average/sub-average cosplayers.

Yeah, no.

>>5461842
Then obviously you have nothing to worry about since you'll be avoiding all cosplayers at the con.
Have fun.

>>5461696
In the lobby at 9?

>>5461833
If you're looking to avoid us, then why are you on /cgl/?

>>5461851
>Implying I don't have friends
lol no. I just don't hang out with cunts. If I wanted to be around bitchy, hormonal 6/10's that can't keep their legs shut I'd visit an abortion clinic.

>>5461918
Then stick with your friends and avoid every group of awkward looking people.

>>5461918
Is that what you really think /cgl/ meet ups are like? I know there were some skeptical thoughts on my part before I went to my first meet up, but you are way out in the left field with you thoughts.

If you don't want to go no big deal, but at least know what you're talking about before you start spewing nonsense, I've met some pretty awesome people at /cgl/ meet ups

>>5461918
You.

I like you.

You wanna share a bottle of scotch with me and take potshots at these twits with an air rifle?

>>5461918
I'm sure you and your friends will have a blast, no need to get your panties in a wad because we're going to go have fun. Nice job proving your faggot level though, I'm sure the excessive name calling was totally called for because you have a deep seated hatred of the tripfags or just someone in the group.
Stay classy, bro.

>>5461963
I like Scotch. Can I have some before you take shots at me too?

>>5461963
Scotch is very much a drink that wishes it were bourbon.

>>5461995
Really? Because scotch is Scottish whiskey and bourbon is American whiskey.

Guess which country has been around longer.

>>5462009
New things never contain improvements over old things, that's why I'm browsing /cgl/ on my abacus

>>5462072
Bourbon isn't much of an improvement over scotch. Scotch is a refined gentleman's drink, whereas bourbon is reserved for brutish oafs and the red man.

>>5462101
You just can't handle a real man's whiskey~

Also, I wish we could share a handle of whiskey :<

>>5462105
>handle
>whiskey

Honestly, you sound like such an unrefined schmoe sometimes.

>>5462140
I am. Let's party.

Da fuck is this shit, east coast don't have drama

>>5462140
This from the guy who wants to shoot people with air rifles at a hotel? lol

>>5462201
SOUTH East, probs not. NORTH, hell yeah. Drama all day.

>>5462201
Are you fucking kidding? East coast is 90% of /cgl/ drama haha!

>>5462207
True facts, no drama in the Dirty South.

>>5462207

Ok southeast ( w/o florida)

>>5462201
>>5462207
>>5462210
>>5462215
Drama comes from people, not places.

>>5462218
Finally, someone that makes some sense.

Wow. I would not have expected a Katsu thread to go full on retard like this.
Pass that bottle, Marsh, this con is gonna be a sonofabitch...

>>5462202
Do you come right back to /cgl/ after you get up in the morning?

Jesus christ get a job. You can't afford plane tickets.

>>5462255
I'm at school waiting for classes to start. Do you come right back to /cgl/ to troll me after I post?

Jesus christ get a better trolling target.

>>5462288
Pfft yeah right. Who the fuck wakes up early just to drive to a community college to browse /cgl/ for hours before a class starts.

>>5462294
class is in 10 minutes. I'm waiting for it to start. Easy there tonto

Yep! Comin from Canada! Me and friends are making a group for Sengoku Basara! :'D

>>5462244
You want your own air rifle, too?

>>5462306

You wouldn't have a member from this group in NC would ya?

This is why no one likes /cgl/

Can't go a single thread without people bitching at each other over dumb shit.

Why can't you assholes just get along? You're all the dregs of society, each and every one of you. Just deal with it and move on.

>>5461896
Sounds good to me. Google says it takes 4 hours and 50 minutes from where I start so depending on how long it takes me to find parking I should arrive just at 9. I don't care what we do, anything's better than sitting in my car waiting for tomorrow to start. I'll look like this >>>/cgl/5462817

I'm just waiting for the schedule for Katsucon to show up.

>>5460934
>Ask a Nation
Please tell me you actually let people ask questions and aren't just putting on a prolonged skit. The former is fun for everyone the latter... eh, not so much.

>>5460934
Wow. Ask a nation? Really?

What's wrong with you people?

Im going. Anybody going as one of the 11 Supernovas from One Piece?

>>5463276
Of course. We'll have a bit of improv in the beginning where we go over the agenda but we won't just listen to ourselves talk for an hour.

>>5463327
Well, this is my last Hetalia thing ever so I figured I'd go out with something bigger than I usually do. Plus doing this without the dramu of DFW Hetalia on my back is relieving.

Huurrr, not to post on topic or anything...

But I'm excited! I still have lots of things to finish before next weekend, but I believeee in myself. I've never been to a /cgl/ meet before so, hopefully that'll be fun~

I'm bringing:
Vriska Serket - Homestuck
Gamzee Makara - Homestuck
Twilight Sparkle - MLP
Ron Stoppable - Kim Possible
Danny Fenton - Danny Phantom
and maybee Starfire from Teen Titans.

Pre con meetup?

sounds like a good time to play BATTLE SHOTS!

>>5463509
Do you win if the other person passes out?

>>5463511

the game of battle shots is simple

you will be playing a game of battle ship. Every time you hit an ship your opponent has to take a shot. you can win two ways. 1. win the game of battle ship or 2 dont pass out

>>5463584
Playing thing is always fun too. I played it to the first movie. Many drinks were had.

>>5463596

why does that sound like such a good idea

i think you and i are going to be great friends

>>5463602
Good luck

anyone going as one piece?

Schedule fucking where.

I really fucking wish they'd put the schedule out already. The only thing I'm for-sure on are my panels and that the WCS is at 9 on Saturday.

>>5464243
Im going to be pissed if when it comes out, the time of my panel has changed, again!

>>5464274
They're changing all the panels times to make room for WCS on Saturday.

>>5464301
Damn, that sucks. Hopefully my panel will be later, and not earlier.

This'll be only the second Katsucon I've missed in the last 10 years so I'm pretty sad. Especially since all my good and best friends are going.

Oh well, just 17 more weeks of training and I'll be able to hit the convention scene again.

>>5464301
>>5464243
Why have the WCS on Saturday? That just doesn't make sense cause of the Masqu. I'd like to go see the WCS but I also wanted to go to the Masqu.

Well, I may not be able to go to any of the meet ups now cause of other obligations. Plus, I'm a early bird I can't stay up late if my life depended on it.

>>5464339
If the WCS and the Masq are at the same time, I'mma be uber pissed >:/ that's so poorly planned, I think I may have to slap someone.

>>5464274

Man I hope this doesn't happen anymore to me, already had to battle enough to get a panel moved up from 2am to midnight with the stipulation being that it not be 18+ now. No biggie there, but they said to keep it more to a 'PG level' than PG-13. Really? An after midnight panel? I think the kiddies will be too busy getting groped at the dance to care about me showing stupid video clips with terrible old anime spaced throughout.

>>5464450
WCS is after the Masq. WCS is scheduled for 9 PM, after the Masq if I'm not mistaken. It'll be in the same room.

Okay, so unless something really horrid happens, I'm going and bringing the con-virgin boyfriend. I'm actually a little nervous since he's mostly a normalfag, unless it involves a select handful of games or comics he's obsessed with. And he's Korean, I think he's in for a bit of a culture shock. He doesn't believe me when I tell him he is about to become a piece of meat.

I'm not bringing much as far as cosplay goes, and nothing new or impressive. Poison (Final Fight), Applejack (MLP: FiM), and Seras Victoria (Hellsing Ultimate). Bringing Halconnen along is going to be, uh, interesting, since I have to pick the boyfriend up from the barracks at Ft Bragg. Hopefully the gate guards won't give a shit as long as I give them a heads up that I have a prop weapon in the car as I'm going to an event.

Excited to see everyone again, I haven't been to a con since May. Also reaaaally hoping that boyfriend isn't horribly bored.

>>5464807
They're going to give you shit, Shibbs. Trust me. Talking from experience here.

So good being out.

>>5464807
>Hopefully the gate guards won't give a shit

No chance that you have a CAC/military dependent/other ID that lets you on without getting searched?

Darn.

My experience is that base guards are pretty cool. Explain it ("I'm going to a comics convention in DC with my boyfriend after I pick him up. The sword is made of [HARMLESS MATERIAL X] and [HARMLESS MATERIAL Y]; the rest of the costume is right under this bag"), let them play with it if they're interested, get on with your life.

>>5464833
As long as she doesn't get hit with Chair Force SecFo or... oh God... contracted security.

Those fucks are the dumbest little shits ever trusted with a firearm. Hell, they make Hetaliafags seem downright reasonable.

At least I don't see Narutards slinging an M4 around the BX like it's their momma's purse...

>>5464833
Nope, I always have to go through the inspection lane unless he happens to be in the car with me. The soldiers at the gate always been pretty chill in my experience, besides it's very obviously NOT metal. It's pvc and wood with some plastic bits. I'm going to tell them just that.

Or I could have him meet me outside the gate and put my shit in his car, then go through inspection. I'll talk to him about it and see what he thinks.

>>5464832
They're just regular soldiers, mostly pretty low ranking from what I can tell. None of them have ever been less than cool with me. But if Roy thinks they'll give me crap I'll just have him take it through in his vehicle.

Bump

>>5464807
Well, if boyfriend knows you well enough & likes you, he'll be okay. Back in the day, I took an ex to Otakon & he got into it. He enjoyed 'getting to be part of such a big interest of mine'.
So I'm sure you'll be fine & he will enjoy himself.

If not, then at least he knows what type of shenanigans a con entails & if he doesnt want to go to another one, he knows the type of people you'll be with (I hope they're good people) so he wont be wondering what you're up to while away, or be getting jealous or stupid.

... tumbleweed...

>>5464846
ITT: marsh thinking he knows the military after he got an RE-4 for a personality disorder

>>5467740
Actually I got kicked out for throwing an NCO into a desk.

But thanks for playing!

>mfw a friend's cat got hold of my katherine shirt and now I have to remake the whole thing
>mfw I have no face

I still need to make my gijinka cosplay. I just need to make it. Why am I being lazy?

>>5467786

That sucks ass man. Is that a dishonorable or general discharge?

>>5468605
Kicking an officer's ass sounds like dishonorable discharge to me...

>>5464705
Oh solid. I won't need to go anywhere then~

>>5468384
Get to it kid

If this thread hasn't been completely derailed... Who all is planning what and when? I don't have too much in my schedule and I'm all for hanging out. My schedule is basically this:

Friday-
>Eridan Ampora a la Hamsteak
>Vincent Brookes from Catherine

Saturday-
>Ezio Auditore, Assassin's Creed (final armor from ACII)
>Cain via Starfighter

Sunday-
>Either Switzerland from lovely Hetalia or a Harry Potter OC. Still undecided on this one.

>>5469343
...where the hell do you keep your wigs that your cat can always get to them? Put them in a closed container already, jesus christ.

>>5469386
>If this thread hasn't been completely derailed
No, no, give it a few posts. It will become off topic again.

>Friday
Washu, Tenchi Muyo [panel]
Seras Victoria, Hellsing [photoshoot]
> Saturday
Ayeka, Tenchi Muyo [photoshoot]
Dj Pon3, MLP FiM [photoshoot]
Washu [panel]
>Sunday
Pfft, I'm not cosplaying on Sunday!

Looking forward to seeing everyone there! Still have a good bit left to do though...

>>5469424

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if it did. Also, T-minus 9 days.

And I just got a lovely email saying my troll makeup isn't going to arrive until 'sometime next week' because they didn't even order the color I need until four damn days after I placed my order. So I may be doing Humanstuck. Bah.

>>5469303
There's an hour and a half between the Masq and WCS, so uh... you'll probably have to go somewhere as they'll kick you out and reseat the room, heh.

>>5469343
Stitching on that looks fucking horrible. Just don't wear it at all.

>>5469424
>No, no, give it a few posts. It will become off topic again.

>>5469448
>Entire post

You're the reason it keeps getting off topic with your stupid drama bullshit and meaningless posts. God get out.

>>5469484
>>5469531
Sup Shibby? Why u droppin your trip?

>>5469443
Well there is that. No biggie. I'll just kick it with contestants and such.

>>5469556
Sup Washu? Why are you dropping YOUR trip?

Thursday
>me

Friday
>Sister Kaya - Trinity blood
>Sailor Neptune - Bootymoon artwork
>WCS judging
>SS Tramp Rip Van winkle (b/c fanart is fun and insensitive)

Saturday
>Nanami - Katanagatari
>Seychelles - Masq
>WCS Costume, herp derp secrets

Sunday
>Creepy cute

Still need to finish Neptune's earrings and Wordsworth's rosary for Major.

B/c of both WCS and the Masq, after 10 pm I need to be shit faced every night

>>5469448
>>5469531
>>5469556
>>5469574
Shut the fuck up, all of you. Fucking sage.

>>5469556
Just because I cosplay Seras doesn't mean I have any issue at all with Washu, that's stupid. Not all of the Hellsing fandom is batshit, believe it or not. On top of that, I don't play those games.

Sage because drama and shit.

>>5469581
>SS Tramp Rip Van winkle
Are you going to the Hellsing shoot? I love Rip, hope to see it!

>>5469484
Well yeah, even i admit it looks bad. I made it a few years ago while i was still learning to sew, that and it needs to needs to be ironed.
>>5469427
>crazy and fruit
Haven't see someone cosplay that version of Azula, should be interesting! How many scouts do you have for your fruit group???

>>5469627
Yea that was my boyfriend who started the photo shoot, then Tigresses fat fugly ass took over...b/c god forbid someone else be in charge.....ugh. I should be there, my judging time is 9:20pm and i was gunna though it on right after, either way you'll spot me walking around with lizzie (my gun)

8 Days !
I look forward to buying figs, meeting people, and having a great weekend. I hope everyone else has one regardless of how many seagulls you run in to, or avoid for that matter.

I will probably only be taking Waitress Mugi, but I'm totally okay with that.

>>5469655
>buying figs
you mean wigs? Im pretty sure they dont sell figs in the deal's room

>>5469641
I can't use my gun, because the base of it is a Nerf gun. How long is yours? I love seeing Rips with big ass guns!
Yeah, I don't understand why Tigress(and a few others) always have to take over the shoots. Oh well, maybe its because she has been in the fandom longer and feels incline.

>>5469679
I think she meant fig(ure)s

>>5469679
Lizzie is about up to my boobs.....she's a pretty flit lock musket, an 1883 replica from my father. She hates me bc i call her out on her bullshit and flat out bitch her out......she's weird and creepy

>>5469684
>>5469679
Figures it is.
Speaking of wigs though, does anyone actively purchase wigs in dealers rooms? I think its great that you get to better inspect the product but I've never felt inclined to buy a wig on the fly.

>>5469723
Only done it once before due to needing it for a masquerade skit.

>>5469627
Lol why did you delete that post? Feel like an idiot now?

>>5468970
Non Commissioned.

And it was Honorable. I had a Captain who covered for me because he wanted to do the same thing I did. Long story.

And fuck year Eri. Tigress is a bitch and the Hellsing fandom is shite. Hence why I will not be in attendance.

>>5463665
I wish I was wearing my Nami :c I lost weight since otakon so I need to talior my pants and I needed new shoes

So far here is what I am wearing:
>Sakuya (god willing)
>Homura
>Sakura (cardcaptor)

Going as Minamitsu on Friday, and dressing in lolita on Saturday.
hopefully my girlfriend will be willing to work with me and I can avoid the copious amounts of homestucks
but other than that fuck I'm ready

>>5469641
Now as bad as when this other girl ran it a few years back. Shit was a disorganized mess. Me and my friends just up and left.
