Is it just me, or are most of the winners of the calendar contest Michigan/Canada based? That's not fishy at all, and not really fair to out-of-state attendees wanting to enter.

I'm shuddering at the hordes of Linkara/TGWTG fans I'm going to bump into. I don't want to sound like a /co/ elitist, but shrieking into your camera does not equal fame...Oh fuck, I forgot that PewDiePie is a thing.

I can't fucking WAIT to see Paul Schrier though. When I was growing up, I thought Bulk and Skull were the two most punk motherfuckers on the planet. I'm going to see if he'll go the the bar with me and my group of friends, he seems like such a solid dude from interviews I've seen at Powermorphacon. Jon St. Jon and Sonny Strait too? It's pretty much Childhood Con this year.

I had drinks with Paul and Narvy at the bar saturday night at Morphicon this year.
Needless to say it was awesome!! and Paulie Likes Kamen Rider!
ask him about the Morphicon Pie wall
>>
>>6358840
Fuck.
Yes.

I think my group and him will get along swimmingly then. I just want to buy one of my childhood heros a beer.

ALRIGHT. Assuming nothing goes wrong with Cammys bracers, this is what ill be wearing. Might bring Chie along for the midnight persona shoot/a backup costume

I'd guess most of the attendees are from Michigan or Ontario, so it's not surprising

>>6362444
that's the plan

My money is on Lousy weather.
What with it being the ass end of autumn in Michigan and the giant fuckstorm to the east making strange weather patterns

It might fucking snow tonight even

where was it last year? on the balcony thing right?

>>6362881
chilly weather is better than rainy weather.

This is my first year at Youma and none of my close friends will be there. What typically goes on there? Anywhere to go for sure or any places to avoid like the plague?
>>
>>6363141

Dark allies and East Detroit.
>>
>>6363141

Outside for reasons other than Cobo. And even then, be quick about it.

Also, Interstate 96 if it's on your route to the con, some maniac's shooting at random cars.

Enjoy Detroit!
>>
>>6363198
I meant in the sense of the con center buuut this is good to know too.
>>6363236
Oh shi- I'm not the one doing the driving so I'll be sure to pass the word along.

I doubt I'll be venturing far from the con center to begin with but thanks for the heads up though!
>>
>>6363278

The people mover is handy though, you can get to some good restaurants if you ride the line a little bit. Don't be afraid to explore a little, but just be careful about where you are and move in a group. Don't get too far from populations or landmarks.
>>
How many people who cosplay on the day of the meetup just go without changing into normal clothes?
>>
>>6363278

Not really. You're in the good part of Detroit so you'll be safe as far as big city safety goes. Only way for you to actually be in danger is to leave the area, stand in the middle of the street, hang out in allies, and just in general, leave the area of the convention center and venter 3 hours in to ghettos.

I'll be wearing this when I'm not running cameras.
>>
>>6363338
>>6363498
Well, being in a bigger city or taking public transit is nothing new to me so I'll probably be okay.
Thanks again guys!
>>
how much is the fare on the people mover?
>>
>>6363498
you mean I cant go fight crime as nightwing? :(
>>
>>6363581
the people mover costs money?
>>
>>6363588

Ya you can. Just not where Youmacon is going to be!
>>
>>6363581
IIRC, about 50 cents a round. It only goes in one direction.
>>
>>6363965
got bumped up to $.75 but there might be a special weekend pass for youmacon or something in the works
>>
>>6363965
>>6364136
so you have to pay to go somewhere that you have to walk back from anyway?

why would anyone pay for this?
>>
>>6364144
Well, the people mover goes throughout all downtown... but yeah, it's not a very big loop. I remember one of my teachers in high school ranting about how the People Mover was just put there by the auto companies to get people to shut up about public transportation.
>>
>>6364152
why is it one way, though? like, it has to get back to where it started eventually- right? or do they make everyone get off until it gets back to the start?

or is it just too big a trip to be reasonable to wait the entire way? idgi

TBH it seems like something to exploit the lazy.
>>
>>6364177
Nope, it goes in one big loop. No one gets kicked off. Trip's not that long. Last year, a friend and I rode a full trip in less than 20 minutes
>>
>>6364190
then why do they say it's one way only?
>>
Think of it like a race track. It goes all the way around the loop, but only one direction.
>>
>>6364197
Because they mean it goes one direction, meaning you have to take a full trip from Cobo to get back to the Ren Cen.
>>
>>6364209
i can slightly understand that, but the proper way to advertise that would be
>one way round trip x minutes

because "one way" alone generally means you go, you're dropped off, that's it. only way back is to find other means of transportation.
>>
>>6364225

Because it is.

>Get on people mover.
>Get off at station.
>Implying Michigan has public transit besides the people mover.
>Implying getting back on is an option.
>>
>>6364300
there's decent public transit up here in GR, buses take awhile but you can get all over- besides suburb areas of course.

but back to the people mover- yeah, then what's the point? you pay to go somewhere that you have to walk back from anyway.
that makes zero sense.
>>
Where's the best place to park? I live in A2 and am commuting in every day.
>>
>>6364313
You could take the people mover both ways. It's just a matter of when it comes back to your part of the loop

So parking at this Cobo place or the Renaissance is equally good? (Sorry, just moved to Michigan and haven't been to Detroit yet.)
>>
>>6364440
oh my god i want pictures with you if you do Athrun, I'm gonna be Lacus
>>
>>6364440
I'm from Ontario so I don't know very much about Detroit, but as I recall, there's cheap daily parking at the Ren Center. I think the garage is immediately east of the main building and is connected by a bridge.
I don't remember how much it was, but it was reasonable, especially if you have other people pitching in.

so, uhh, who's going to the orgy? o_O

More specifically, the People Mover was built so that people who kept talking about a subway would just shut the fuck up.

Also, it was built to fail. And look at it; it's a complete failure.

Lol.

>>6366203
boyfriend and i will for sure be going. anyone else?
>>
>>6366207
I might, but it depends on if I've got other stuff going. I'm tempted to duck out of Cosplay Shougi for it, but idk
>>
>>6366203
what day though?
>>
>>6366234
uhg oh no. BF really wants to go to Shougi, i don't think he'd skip that for something that will be in theaters for weeks.
>>
Am I the only one who forgot to pre-order the pass and has to wait in the line?
>>
>>6366257
nope. how long is the wait usually for Youma?

would it be worth it to get there early to wait for the registration to open instead of waiting in line?
>>
>>6366280
It's long as fuck at peak hours.

Line up.
>>
>>6366257
>>6366280
as I recall, there was barely any line in the mid-afternoon on friday. It shouldnt be too bad
>>
>>6366283
>>6366285
thanks ~

i'll most likely end up in line at 11:30ish. BF wants to be there early on thursday, doubt he'll want to sleep in on friday either.
>>
>>6366203

Where did you find get the times? The Ren Cen Theater is not showing it on their website.
>>
>>6364945
aw shit, totally didn't look close enough at that picture, my bad.
but they do look remarkably similar lol

So wait, is cosplay speed dating actual speed dating, or are you doing it in character?
