How can you even interact with each other being the horribly judgmental people you are?

Or do you keep that to yourself in public and pretend that the drama never happened?

>>5981324
You don't know who the shit posters are anyway, so you just pretend all the drama never happened.

Yes
Yes, Yes
Yes but I'm not saying

Except the people in OP pic are tripfags.

>Have you been to one?
Yes.
>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
Yes/I guess. Acquaintances? I don't consider people major friends unless they're someone I actually hang out with on a normal basis. I don't think the internet counts.
>Any seagulls related stories?
....not really.
Nice try for drama hunting.

I've been to a few.

>>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
They're always a good time. It's really awkward meeting them the for the first time though. Meeting Enver for the first time was really awkward for me.

>>Any seagulls related stories?
Saw a few anons at AN and they recognized our board-tan cosplays. It was nice.

Man I wish I had, that stuff was so damn greasy and I felt mega sick for the rest of the night. I'll share next time.

Oh and some jerk from /cgl/ stole my socks. They were my favourite pair, a momento of my dead grandmother.

Yes
No not really, I was too sober
It was basically all the tripfags screaming/trying really hard to draw attention to themselves. I don't know why I expected any different.

I do have fun at seagull meetups. I've met lots of awesome, chill people, and I like seeing them from con to con. A lot of seagulls are also my friends outside of cons, so it's always good to see them.
>Any seagulls related stories?
My very first meetup was...Fanime '10, I think. I didn't really know anybody and I was too shy to approach anyone, and then I ran into Tim and I was like "OH THANK GOD, SOMEONE I KNOW" and then we awkward turtled around the edges for a while. Then someone recognized her and we were drawn in to the group and everyone was really nice and welcoming. After the initial awkwardness it was fun, and ever since then I've gotten to know more people so meetups get more fun each time.

But you were looking for drama, right? Uhm....this one time, Hanyaan ate a puppy. True story.

>Have you been to one?
Yes, several
>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
I did. I regularly hang out with a number of them
>Any seagulls related stories?
Todd's legal name is tittymonster

/cgl/ gatherings are usually the most chill gatherings I go to. Everyone is so chill and open and I've met a lot of great people because of it.

>Have you been to one?
Yes
>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
It was okay, and sure.
>Any seagulls related stories?
Someone actually brought 50 dismembered dicks to the gathering and we sucked them all. Who they belonged to, we will probably never know.

Haven't been to a meetup, but I have met a couple of individual seagulls before. Nice people.

Also, planning on going to AX /cgl/ meetup in a week

>Have you been to one?
Yes
>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
Fuck no it sucked
>Any seagulls related stories?
I thought you guys were cool online but you when i finally got to meet /cgl/ in person, you were all just a bunch of weirdos and one dude asked me if he wanted to smoke weed with him back in his hotel room. I was 18 at the time and I would never go to one again.

>Have you been to one?
Yes, a few
>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
It was okay. Well I met people prior to the cgl gathering so I suppose so. IDK though, the more "well-known trips" were very loud/obnoxious (I'm assuming drunk) so I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I just kind of talked to the friends I knew prior (mostly because of g+).
>Any seagulls related stories?
I've made quite a few good friends because of cgl, which is pretty cool.

>>5981436
Bitch please garlic bread is godly.


>Have you been to one?
Yup I went to one! Hope to attend more in the future!

>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
I had a lot of fun! Meeting people was awesome! Dunno if we are friends or not but if we are that's awesome.

>Any seagulls related stories?
Um not really. We hung out and played a card game I don't remember but it was fun. A lot of people aren't what I thought they were going to be to be honest. Overall was a really fun time, wish I could have stayed later but I was rooming with a bunch of other people and didn't want to disturb them by coming in late.

>Have you been to one?
A lot, actually! Pretty much every con I've ever been to except for my very first one has had a seagull meetup

>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
Always! There's been a few that were less than anything spectacular, but always a good time regardless.

>Any seagulls related stories?
Um. All of the meet-ups I had been to were pretty small up until ALA and Fanime recently. I don't really remember much of the Fanime one besides being tipsy and clinging to every waifu I could find because the amount of people scared me. Oh and then getting lots of cookies.

>Have you been to one?
Yes.

>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
It was all tripfags, and they sat around drunk staring at each other blankly. None of them were in costume and they were all awkward as fuck and looked ill from too much partying.

>Any seagulls related stories?
No interesting ones.

I see myself in OP's picture.

Sounds like all these anti-tripfag stories are made by butthurt anons who sat in the corner crying about their spilled spaghetti.
It's not the world's fault you have aspergers.

>Have you been to one?
Yes, both as a tripfag and anon.

>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
Loved it, made plenty of new friends. No drama besides someone being a little jealous but that was cleared up.

>Any seagulls related stories?
Plenty, but they're more of inside jokes and I'd rather not circlejerk. I've already told the Weeaboo Todd stories, as well. From the Anime Iowa meetup I learned a little about Lolita, which was awesome.

>>5981610
At my meet-up the only cool people were the anons who weren't trashed as fuck. In fact, the only people actually WEARING costumes were anons.

Tripfags. Spend all day posting in shit threads instead of working on costumes. Nice.

>Have you been to one?
Yes, just one. Or, at least I think it was a /cgl/ meetup.
>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
I was way too exhausted, so I can't really remember much, but I do believe that I was pretty happy yes. And sure, I met some new cool people.
>Any seagulls related stories?
Well, yeah.

>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
Initially, it was awkward. I brought a friend the first time but she had no idea what was going on cause she didn't go on /cgl/. I got more comfortable though and Toronto seagulls hang out quite often now
>Any seagulls related stories?
Pic relate, had a meetup close to my birthday so I got a bitchin' birthday card signed by all the seagulls who went. I love it.

>>5981422
>Oh and some jerk from /cgl/ stole my socks. They were my favourite pair, a momento of my dead grandmother.

Whaa? When was this?

>>5981615
Sitting in the corner crying about your spilled spaghetti while wearing a costume.

>>5981575
From the sound of a lot of these, it makes me very happy to go to Texas meet ups with all that southern hospitality. I know we don't have as many people, but I feel as if ours go much better and are more enjoyable that most of the people's experiences on here.

>>5981615
>Tripfags. Spend all day posting in shit threads instead of working on costumes. Nice.
But anon, you're posting shit right now instead of working on a costume.

The one time there was one in my city it was hyped to hell. A bunch of people promised to go. In the end only myself, maryjane and 2 other bro's actually "showed up". We stopped at the meet spot for a few minutes, nobody new appeared so we all left about our business. There hasn't been a /cgl/ meet in this city since.

>>5981610
Nah dude, nah. Tripfags are the most spaghetti of all. They've just convinced themselves they're not since they all spaghetti together. It's a little sad, actually.

>>5981575

I loved it. Seagulls are some awesome people to hang out with, believe it. Made a few friends from /cgl/ meets and just hanging out with seagulls.
>Any seagulls related stories?
This one time at a rave, a guy dressed as Johnny Bravo grabbed me and we started doing some kinda mating dance. Everybody was mirin'. First one I went to, I was kinda 'h-hey guys heres my spaphetti please respond ;a;', but I've stopped that now.

What does that say about this board?

>Have you been to one?
Yes, a few.
>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
I feel like I always walk away with making new friends.

>Any seagulls related stories?
I went to that one in the picture actually~ It was mostly just talking and I left for a bit because I had something to do. Everyone was really nice. I came back but most people left, but I met up with some of them in the convention itself. I had fun sitting in the hall afterwards, and getting kicked out, lol. Then a smaller group of us went to Denny's laughed about Mistry's shirt and we had so so much fun just talking, and moving tables to meet others. There was no drama to be had and I think everyone really enjoyed themselves. (:

>>5981628
was it in Alberta?

So many people have negative experiences. I don't understand it, when the meetup turns boring or shitty, does no one speak up and suggest something fun to do?

Pretty much all of the meetups in Toronto have been successful, and yes, anons come to them.

I think it's important to have a pre-planned activity or theme before you organize anything, in addition to back up plans. Awkwardness is only helped by being outgoing and actually talking. I think anyone who's had a bad meetup experience didn't try to have fun in the first place

>>5981663
Is Duralath like 50? He looks like he could be all their fathers.

>>5981680
The ones I've been to were all good times.

I think it's seriously just anon's mad about that whole "no one can be friends" thing and just trying to start shit.

The cgl meetups I've been to pretty much sucked. I have made some cgl friends at cons but that's more thanks to chance than by merit of the actual meetups.

Tripfags exaggerate the "fun" of /cgl/ meetups because they want to come back and say "DUDE I WAS THERE SHIT WAS SO CASH PLEASE NOTICE ME."

The reality is that /cgl/ meetups are just a bunch of random people who really don't know each other that well forcing themselves to be social in the hopes of feeling included in some kind of special club. You'd probably have more fun just meeting random people at the con, since there'd be less attention whoring.

>>5981618
aw that's sweet. who bought the card?

>>5981692
So how many have you been to?
Because the one's I've been at, everyone already knew each other.
Having fun, laughing, inviting each other for room parties and house parties.

the ones i've been to have bordered on embarrassing, honestly. but everyone pretends it was suuuupar fun so they can have something to talk about later.

i mean maguma had a fucking taco party where people watched samurai jack and were completely sober at ALA this year. yep they are real party animals.

its all exaggeration.

Real talk: how often to hookups occur at these meetups? Anon or trips?

I assume many since everyone's intoxicated.

Every meetup I was at we introduced ourselves with our first names. No trips were said. Thursday it was "Hey, everyone say your name at the same time" thing. The only time I was like "what's your trip/anon?" was if it was in the hotel room I was in, due to wanting to make sure we didn't let strangers in. Otherwise everyone referred to each other as their first names.

>>5981719
Pretentious faggots care about anons and trips. There's always been a couple of anons at meetups.
>>5981726
I don't do this.
Not because I'm hardcore trip but because I've been known as Valle since I was 14.
I literally don't even respond to my first name because I'm so not used to it.

>>5981713
No offense, but that taco party sounded really lame. The only thing I could thing of is those poor workers who had to make all those tacos ( a hundred give or take) because that dumbass tripfag Maguma just wanted to be "loved". I wouldn't want to be the person waiting in line behind them.

>>5981737

>>5981807
I bet they were shitty Del Taco or Taco Bell tacos too. If you're going to host a food party, even if it's at a con, get it fucking catered. It's not that expensive. And for the love of God don't bring box wine to a party. Shit is fucking disgusting. Hell, you can get some amazing reds for under ten to twenty bucks a bottle if you're in California.

>>5981807

I mean yeah they're both fast food but I would pick Del Taco over Diarrhea Bell INSTANTLY.

Their food actually tastes like food.

And Jack in the Box makes better taco's than Taco Bell.

Tacos.

>>5981807
What enforcers?

>>5981829
He had people on "security" to make sure no "immaturity" took place.

Apparently 1 or 2 of them were being jerks to the people.

>>5981824
No. Just no.

>>5981826
You have an unsophisticated palate. Also, Jack in the Box tacos are fucking disgusting, and they're less so greasy tacos than grease with a side of taco. Fuck, if I threw a taco party I'd cook everything myself. Most of the male /cgl/ trips are manchildren who wouldn't know how to throw a proper food or wine party if they had fucking Alton Brown holding their hand the entire time. Then again, most of them have no class.

>>5981829
they were probably there to make sure people didn't have fun

Sounds too stupid to be true

>>5981851
I can kind of see it.
I can see someone having a party and if it was BIG being like hey make sure shit doesn't get too rowdy.
And I can see of course, people power tripping.

I'm seeing the basis of the story exploding into the rumor....

>>5981729
There's a difference between like a nickname that's also your trip and "hurr guize i'm a trip give me love". I used Rahne in my MMORPG days and some of my friends there use it even though they know my real name.

>>5981863
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Almost EVERYONE on my ship/San Diego friends knew me as Valle/ValleLator.

I just carried over my nickname as my trip.

So at meetups, when I introduce myself as Valle, it's not hurrdurr, it's what I go by.

>>5981859

I really did. The people in the Toronto /cgl/ community are so nice. I've made a couple new friends, I don't like in Toronto itself so I don't get to hang out with them as frequently as some do, but it's real fun when I get the chance.
>Any seagulls related stories?
The first meetup I went to was after pulling an all-nighter in the city, and we decided to play Cards Against Humanity. Best icebreaker ever.

I look forward to the meetup at Otakon, it will be nice to meet /cgl/ people from another country :)

Seagull meetups can be fun. It's all at how you look at things. If you don't want to have fun, OF COURSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ENJOY YOURSELF.

Sometimes parties aren't all about booze and titty and ass and pot. Sometimes they're just a bunch of people getting together and having a good time. If a meetup or party isn't your thing, you can always leave and find something interesting to do on your own.


I will say that the Fanime meetup was kind of redonk. I ran out of cookies within five minutes and felt kind of bad when I had to tell people that they weren't getting a cookie. Everything else was cool, though. :3

>Have you been to one?

>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
Well I always find meetups to be really full of people and crowds are uhgghghh so I'm a little uncomfortable with all that. That said I do meet friends there when a find one or two people to talk to.
>Any seagulls related stories?
I have a few, but they'd just sound like circlejerk stories. Many involve God making me facepalm at his behaviour(The first time he saw me he almost clipped me with his car for fun). And going to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles with a bunch of awesome people was great! But I like all the seagulls I have met and enjoyed the time we hung out.

I met awesome people at the one I went to. I almost never use /cgl/ but I'm here since it's getting so close to Ota. Normally I can't deal with all the hatred and judgmental people that this place attracts because I am generally a very very chill person.
I was worried the meet would be full of horrible people, but actually it was only awesome ones who came. I'm pretty good friends with some of them now.

Hilariously, afterwords I saw people shitposting here about how it was stupid since it was at a bar and they were sooo far above going to a bar. They were... mad we were having fun. Truly.
I'll never go to one that's not at a bar or involves copious amounts of alcohol. Bitchy people apparently don't go to bars since it's below them or something. Also it automatically removes the worst offenders of cattyness, who tend to be under 21, in my experience.

>>5981956
From what I've heard, it's just some of her ex-friends butthurt about how she's taken over their boyfirends a few times. She ditched the last one after she fucked Mika at some con, or something.

It's okay though, she doesn't really post here that much.

Alright Anon. Let me tell you this really interesting story!

If you date someone that is not Mika, then you are saying that you are not interested anymore right?
I will admit it was my fault for not checking up on her status to see if she was still attached to her current bf at the time. That was my bad.

But you can't date someone else and still call 'dibs' on another. At least, not in most people's worlds.

Just wanted to set that straight.

Also
>That's even before the stories of how your ex-boyfriends were actually her former friend's boyfriends at the time.

As far as I know, none of my exes had dated any of my friends/friends of friends when I was involved with them? You must be confused.

Here have a baby.

>>5981663
lol I see desu (and unfortunately I know a handful of people in the photo), I remember seeing him with his penis gun he was trying to peacebond one night.

But yes, I have been to /cgl/ meetups. I stay Anonymous since I don't ever consider being a tripfag. It was enjoyable, except to crowded ALA taco party. Think I went to Denny's that night?

I know /cgl/ gathering afterparties get a bit crazy (but mostly loud), too. I somehow got into a party with "known" cosplayers and photographers before too and I hear those go even crazier.

>>5981987
>"known" cosplayers and photographers
Who would that even be?

Hey Valle, they weren't telling people to behav, we had to control noise levels because the floor we were on was for airline workers and we couldn't disturb them. I work cons and if there is anything I do it is be polite about conditions and treat the patrons with respect. And if anyone was being rude under my staff I should be informed so it doesn't happen again.

Ala 2013 taco party will be better now that we know what we'll be dealing with in terms of people and food amount. AND IT WON'T BE FAST FOOD, We will be having fresh ingredients and do it yourself stations.

>Have you been to one?
I've been to uh. 3? I think? Not sure.
>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
Yep. The first two I was dragged to by friends who were friends with /cgl/ers, I felt awkward because my friend knew everyone there but after I got to know them it was great! The latest one I went to alone and it was great as well! Usually people try to go somewhere cheap to eat and then hang around the con center. If you have an older crowd, some meet up later at a nearby bar or hotel bar. I've actually never been to a con room party so I can't tell you anything about that (I don't know if I just repel the party-goers or give off straight-edge vibes, derp)
>Any seagulls related stories?
Uh. Nothing that comes to mind. The meetups were pretty averagemode. Trips were nice, if a bit closed off to newbies, people unrelated would come into the group and hang around, having no idea what cgl was.

Honestly I try and find or plan a meetup at every con I go to.

if you like Apples to Apples you'll like it

I'm from California and I go to all the big California cons and so I know quite a few tripfags and party with them occasionally since our social circles overlap. I'm mentioning this to get it out of the way that I'm not a tripfag hater and I think a lot of the tripfags are bros.

I've never officially been to the /cgl/ gathering, but the few times I have passed by, it was pretty assburgers and just as loud and annoying as any given Homestuck gathering. The non-trip friends I have that attend the gatherings only stick around for 15 minutes because of the clash of obnoxiousness vs spaghettis. I still think most of the trips are bros, but there's no denying that the gatherings are, from what I've seen, a hot mess. I went to the Taco Party at ALA and everyone was hungry and not having fun and people weren't even really talking to each other, just playing videogames. And of course, the people at the door were dicks.

>Have you been to one?
Yep, I just went to my first one a few months ago and am hoping to go to another in the future.

>Did you like it? Did you make new friends?
I had a really great time and was glad I went. It was a small meetup but I liked the size. I don't think I made any friends but I had fun hanging out with everyone. I'm really terrible in groups and get super shy, so I know it's my fault for not making friends. Everyone else there was very chill and nice about it though. Some people in particular, some anons and a trip, made me feel really included despite my shyness, which I thought was really nice. Maybe if I go to another meetup it'll be easier to talk to them if I see them again. Also, maybe it was just because our meet was small, but I'm anon and I didn't feel weird about not being a trip or anything. It was really chill.

>Any seagulls related stories?
I don't know what kind of stories you're looking for, but I definitely don't have any drama ones to share.

I want to go to one, but Otakon's meet up is at a bar and I'm not yet 21 poop. I can't blame them for wanting to weed out the youngins' though.

>>5982134
I know the owner of the bar just namedrop my trip.

I would love to go to a /cgl/ meetup.
Otakon anyone?

>>5981681
26 on Day 3 of AX, to be precise, but then again, real life + frazzled hair +facial hair probably makes me look like I'm ancient, or something.

Anyway, OP, /cgl/ meetups are fun. Always nice to put faces to names, and to do dumb stuff. Like Fanime 2012 and that race with the Pokemen.

>>5982242
STINKY DIVER! We rematched at AM2. We're tied >:]

>>5982163
Thereis a meetup planned check the otakon thread. Its a bar outside so underage could come.

I would like to go to one. But I wanna actually be cosplaying if I do. :3

>>5982292

I had a lot of fun at the Katsu one....which was the only one I've officially 'attended'. Friday night I had fun, but I was a tad....influenced at the time so I was probably SUPER obnoxious (sorry guys). Saturday things were low key, and I was kinda tired and didn't stay long. But I think A bar meet would be fun! I could see cards against humanity going over very well~!

No idea who took this picture, haha.

>Have you been to one?

>Did like it? Did you make new friends?
I really like meet ups since I don't have any friends who are into cosplay or cons any more. Meet ups are a nice way for me to meet new friends. The seagulls who regularly turn up to meets are all sound as can be.
>Any seagulls related stories?
The Sunday meet at last May's London Expo didn't go to well. Last Chilled with a Dante cosplaying anon for a bit, an anon I'd met before and her friends drew me the sign when I went inside to grab a drink and another seagull said Hi as I was leaving. Meet up with toaster and her freinds later that night and had a few drinks in some bars. Any other meets turn out like this?

Oh hey, is there gonna be an AX meetup?

>>5982011
It's based on Apples to Apples, but a lot more fun. I will probably never play Apples to Apples willingly anymore if I have Cards Against Humanity handy

/cgl/ meetups are awesome!

Ah I'm in that photo! That was a really cool meet up. It was weird having a few people who knew who I was, especially when I knew of them, but had never met them. I have a few awesome stories that stuck with me. All in all it was a pretty good night. I just regret being really shy and not openly talking more. My favorite memory though has to be a certain trip who is a friend of a friend telling me she thought I was a wonderful person and didn't deserve the drama that happened to me. That was actually really touching coming from a somewhat stranger.

I love /cgl/ meetups. Everyone is so nice ;_; I've only been to the ones at Youmacon, though.

I avoided the /cgl/ meetup/Laika because she is an incredibly massive cunt and a repulsive shitbag. i have no idea about any boyfriend-stealing or ex-friends or anything. (But if she HAS stolen peoples boyfriends before that wouldn't surprise me since she's a pretty dirty, loose old slut)

Her being a nasty racist is a contributing factor too

Do you guys provide alcohol at these gatherings?

>>5982934

Nope, you buy that shit yourself and pre-game for the meetup.

>>5982934
This is really important.

>>5982942
I just met you
And this is crazy
But I'm underage
So supply me maybe?

>>5982944

Well then you're SOL because alcohol costs money and I'm not giving that shit out for free.

>>5982951
I can pay. =)

>>5982959

Then make more friends that are overage and get them to buy it for you, stop asking anonymous strangers over the internet.

>>5982951

I could pay you in dick. That's a valid form of currency ;D

>>5981997
>that feel when there will never be food trucks at ALA.

>>5982963

There will be at AX!

I do wish the location for ALA was better though... The hotel it's at is getting pretty crowded

>>5982973
I'm going to have to keep that one in mind, since I'm not going to "easily" get back to my room at the JW for food supplies.

Though I can only imagine how much the X-Games people are going to use the food trucks as well... goddamnit. Thank good food truck vendors are fast as hell with their food.

Also, been to almost every /cgl/ gathering to every con/event I've ever gone to. Hosted the SDCC ones. Shit is cache.

Serious question. How often do people hook up? (Besides the trips who are in their e-relationships).


I somehow find the idea of hooking up with somebody, never talking to them again, but still actually continuing to talk to them without them knowing that it's you for the rest of the year. No idea why, but it's hot.


Totally has nothing to do with the fact I'm tired of gym cunts and club sluts.

>>5983010
This too, is in my interests.

>>5983010
>>5983017

>>5983019
Oh, you must not be in the know.

Can be fun. I don't remember the meetup at Fanime much because everyone there was basically in my room all weekend.

ALA's meetup was a blast hoisting up Nick and having Andrew lose his shit.

All in all they're a good time, but I'm usually just too drunk to focus.

>>5983020
Even if I was, what good would it do to say that it did happen?

File: 1340430179725.jpg-(115 KB, 1200x1600, sad turtle.jpg)

2 years ago there was supposed to be a /cgl/ meetup at AX. There was even a thread about it, but no details. I kept asking for when/where, but nobody responded. Eventually I just saw "Wooo what a cool meetup! See you guys next year!"

This is the only time I've managed to open a meetup thread since then.

>>5983028
I know right? I got ignored earlier. Where the fuck is this info floating around?

>>5983028
Don't feel too bad. Last year I was trying to find a meetup. They posted that it was on the third floor. Unfortunately the convention center had 4 floors with the lobby starting as floor 0. So I was missed it looking everywhere for the meetup when it was one floor below.

>>5983021
Hype does that to a man. So does alcohol.

>>5982973
I got to talk to head of ALA at AM2 and apparently to keep the size of the con under control, they're gonna put a cap on attendance for Saturday (I think it was like 4k?). He's really intent on keeping the con at a manageable size since they're with the hotel for another three years. He's a smart guy and knows exactly how to run his con.

>>5983065
>capping con

Wow, way to be more elitist.

If I were more on top of things, I would find out where the meetups are for the cons I go to. Though, given how small most of them are, I doubt a meetup is made for them. Plus, actually meeting some of you people would be nerve wracking.

Alcohol. A LOT OF ALCOHOL.

Hon, don't even take into account age. Pfft hell, as a Texas seagull, errone knows I'm still underage b& (granted, I won't be anymore, next A-kon), yet I'm usually the one getting everyone together for /cgl/ meet-ups. Yes, there's drinking at meets. Don't let age deter you.

>>5983767
I think it is. There's nothing left after that but decline, senility, and death.
Let's face it Valle, we're old.

My mom used to work as an office manager for startups during the Silicon Valley boom, and she had the hardest time finding transportation for all of the guys working there because none of the wunderkinds were old enough to rent a car. Go figure.

>>5983976
Usually sometimes people hold up a sign saying SEAGULLS, or you'd recognise someone from their cosplay from them posting on here. That's usually how it goes down over here anyway.

>>5983343
You should go! Texas seagulls are pretty awesome.

The last couple that I went, I just went to dinner with everyone and didn't get into the whole drinking thing (not that I drink anyways), but I had a lot of fun.

Just to clear things up, the taco party was an official con event, so they couldn't officially have alcohol. And thus, the security was regular con staff. They were being dicks to me too but I was too far gone to care. I did host an actual party after the cgl meet, pic related.
