wat

I am still trying decide if I want to just hang out at the Hotel for Friday or Saturday. Like I don't want to buy a badge but just hang with some chill friends of mine for the day.

I haven't been since 2010, how strict are things if I am not looking to go to any actual con events but just hang out in the hotel?

I'll be in the artist alley with my girlfriend and roommate, should be a blast.

Going on a very-low-calorie-diet until then.

I have an entire costume to make and a lot of prints and stuff to finish, waiting on a big payment until I can actually buy supplies.

I'm going as Hiccup from HTTYD, my girlfriend is going to be colonial Jack Frost and my roommate is going to be Jamie from Rise of the Guardians.

Not looking forward to the plethora of shitty Jack Frost cosplayers though.

Bringing a bunch of Type-Moon costumes. Had a big Oreimo group planned with friends but a good chunk of them dropped out. I'll bring Bajeena anyway since she's a good character to walk around a con as.

>>6552689
I am juice fasting for that. If I am lucky, my costume might fight a little loose by then.

>>6552724
Shit I meant fit not fight.

>>6552724
good luck anon! I'm following the HCG protocol. I tried it once and failed because I had no motivation.

Hoping to shave off a good 20 pounds, although people who have more to lose, lose it faster, so I'll be happy with 10.

>>6552730
Does the HCG thing restrict your caloric intake? That might be really bad for you. Even though I am fasting I am taking vitamins and fiber capsules along with going to the gym on a daily basis.

Got a lot done, just 2 more costumes to do. Clover and Kirigiri are sewn, I just need a few more acessories for them. And I'm waiting on fabric for Elizabeth and my other costume. But I'm gonna start drafting for the other one tonight hopefully.

>>6552752
yeah, it's probably not very good for you.

in the second phase you eat 500 calories a day, but each meal you have to have 100 grams of meat and 100 grams of vegetable, then you are allowed a piece of melba toast and fruit.. So in theory, you're getting all your nutrients (??) but you just aren't eating any fats, oils, refined sugars or carbs.

Basically everything you eat has to be pretty much plain.

>>6552759
Carbs aren't bad for you but rather people don't know how to maintain it properly. I do think lowering the amount of sugar you get is good as long as it isn't high fructose and there are some fats that are good for you. Omega-3 would be one of them.

Bout to go hang out in the games room and then just hit up all dem niggas I know from meeting them at cons and fortune boards all de time. Den bout to get sloppy drunk or stay whiskey neat in ole virginny and see where the anime takes me.

I wish I had a tomodachi or two to hang out with. I do find it rather hard to strike a conversation with people at that con.

>>6553094
I-I hope sempai notices me this year

>What's your day-day cosplay plans so far? completed any of them?

I'll be bringing the same costumes from Anime USA 2012 to Katsu 19. There's a low chance that Inspector jacket will make it though.

>Looking forward to seeing any cosplay celebs?
No, not really. If I run into them I will try to take one picture of them,

>Any great panels/events you've seen previous years?
Bad Anime, Bad, Anime Paraliment, Geek Comedy Show.

>Where are you traveling from? how?
Maryland, using Metrorail and Metrobus

How much did ya'll pay for your rooms?

>>6553401
Lucky me lives about a 5 minute drive from the gaylord convention center.

Planning on bringing Kadar Al-Sayf, Ezio Auditore, Switzerland, Abel, and possibly Desmond Miles. Pretty much still have to make Kadar's entire outfit, and I'm revamping my Ezio armor.

Really I'm just looking forward to seeing a lot of bros I haven't chilled with since Otakon 2012, and making new friends. Going to (hopefully) be in two panels if Katsu would get their shit together and announce whether or not the panels have been approved.

I just updated my map guide of restaurants and shit in National Harbor with anything I learned from MAGFest, if anyone isn't familiar with the area yet:
http://del.oshi.us/katsumap

>What's your day-day cosplay plans so far? completed any of them?

Not sure about day to day, but I will be bringing Kamen Rider Wizard (flame form), Altair and Jack Noir. Altair's just getting a reboot, Jack is about 80% done, and Wizard is about 60% complete, just waiting for more materials to come in.

>Looking forward to seeing any cosplay celebs?
Isn't everyone on here a cosplay celeb or has been one? We've all had our 15 minutes of fame

>Any great panels/events you've seen previous years?
I haven't seen a decent panel at any of the cons I've been to for the past 5-6 years, no reason to think otherwise.

>Where are you traveling from? how?
NY via the Boltbus

Reposting my image from the last thread.
>What's your day-day cosplay plans so far? completed any of them?
I literally just finished American Maid and Cruella is a re-wear (only if I feel like putting on all that makeup). The only for sure day-to day plan is that I'm wearing the green Maid outfit on sunday.
>Looking forward to seeing any cosplay celebs?
I'm more looking forward to seeing my con friends.
>Any great panels/events you've seen previous years?
I don't usually go to panels or events.
>Where are you traveling from? how?
NoVA. I imagine I'll get a ride from a friend.

I am so goddamn excited.

>What's your day-day cosplay plans so far? completed any of them?
Kaworu with my bro as Mari then we're switching to Panty and Stocking for the rest of the day. Saturday is gonna be Giratina all day. Sunday I might wear lolita. IDK.
>Looking forward to seeing any cosplay celebs?
Could care less. I'm here for friends and fun. And a few shots of vodka.
>Any great panels/events you've seen previous years?
I'm not really a panel goer. I have a few friends with panels in limbo, I was invited to one so I might swing by that one.
>Where are you traveling from? how?
NYC. Not sure. Probably megabus since boltbus is almost sold out. I'm also looking into getting a ride down to save a few.

This will be my fourth Katsu and I am finally living in the DC area I don't have to fly in. Really looking forward to the ball, that was just a really fun experience. Though, this first time staying at the Residence Inn which has a strict ~no party policy~ might be interesting.

Anyway, no sewing machine starting Sunday so its mostly simple/old cosplays

So I'm hearing the masquerade is currently scheduled for 11am Saturday morning (and WCS at 3pm).

This is tentative, I'd think, because the masquerade head also just found this out last night.

What the hell, Katsucon.

I mean its a good idea if you wanna go and make friends with people to go to this and meet them so your not alone. I dunno what I will be wearing to the meetup yet but ... Ill probably wear my little gull on a badge or something so you can spot me out and if worst comes to worst we can talk!

I know a few people here are bringing DR costumes, I really hope we can work something out so we can meet up!

Also if any photogs have some time, I would love to work something else. Especially for the Virtue's Last Reward group, we have an almost full group!

Voxane is obvs Luna and I'm returning as Clover haha.

Katsucon is holding it's Cosplay Chess on Sunday.

>>6560094
I wonder if there's a chess tournament to decide who gets to play chess with the cosplayers~ I've never stuck around for more than a few min. of cosplay chess, is it entertaining?

>>6560910
It's usually scripted for an entertaining outcome and not a live match. The chess at least, they leave it to the cosplayers to improv.

Dropping this here, though, honestly, my only priorities are Miyuki and Speedball. Faustina just needs a few fixes, and Sheska's sort of part of a group, but it's kinda amorphous[and they already have the principal female fma characters] so if I can't finish nothing's really wrong with that. It's just been really stressful and sad around here recently.

>What's your day-day cosplay plans so far? completed any of them?
As above. Nothing's done yet.
> Looking forward to seeing any cosplay celebs?
Like other people said, I'm more interested in hanging out with con friends.
> Any great panels/events you've seen previous years?
I'm a big fan of cosplay chess, debating entering it.
>Where are you traveling from? how?
Just a county away from National Harbor, I'll probably grab a ride down with a friend -- it's just under an hour away.

There's an event for the meet up to remind people and if something changes and such but the board keeps thinking my post is spam whenever trying to link it. So people can invite you or someone else link it

They haven't sent out acceptance notifications or panel times yet.

>>6563430
It's 4 weeks until the con. How can they not have done so yet?

>>6563442
This is a common pattern for Katsucon, they're the worst around this area for letting people know this.
It's such a pain in the ass to get up to the tiny corner where all the panels are, too. I mostly avoid panels at this con.

They definitely sent out notifications at least because a friend was looking for help for his panels because they were all accepted, but we don't know if we can help him yet because we don't know if they conflict with other engagements.

Super duper excited and also in panic mode.
I always forget that ordering stuff at the beginning of a school semester means having to deal with the mailroom, which is struggling to keep up with all the books everyone procrastinated in ordering (which I always do too lol).
I'm still waiting on my feathers for Cas's wings, and body paint and wigs to style for Mrs. Toad.
Luckily I have almost everything else done.

>Implying i didn't email staff
I emailed them after i made that post and they told me it was accepted, but they weren't done deciding on times yet. So, my Tenchi panel will be sometime Saturday night. Im trying to change it to earlier in the day. Doubt it but oh well!

>>6570266

Oh man oh man I hope it's early enough. I'll definitely try to bring my sis then.

[I should probably use a name or trip but eh...]

They finally got around to approving my panel. It's called The Imageboard World 2. Bad news is that it's on 3am on Sunday.

I'll be surprised if anyone comes to that panel.

> Good photo locations?
Pretty much anywhere in the atrium. A lot of photoshoots happen in front of the fountain, though.
> What's your favorite section of Katsucon? where will you be spending your time?
Panels and signings mostly, but I got my sister and myself a VIP badge this year so as to minimize wait times and allow us a bit more time to cool down, maybe check out some shoots.
> How long have you been coming to Katsu? what made you start?
I forget, honestly. I know for sure this is my third year in a row, but I can't remember if I went a few years before 2011 or not. All I know is a friend of mine took me to some cons but pretty much only went for the dealer's room and artist alley... Meaning I pretty much missed out on fun con stuff for 1-2 years. But that's getting off topic.

Does anyone else watch Acksonl's Katsu videos almost daily in order to satisfy/intensify their hype?

So for the past few years I've always eaten at potbelly's or baja fresh for Katsucon, but I am no longer a pour college student and will have disposable income this year!

Can I get suggestions/reviews/experiences for restaurants around the conventions center?

Hey, does anyone know if there's a Marvel or gen. superheroes shoot on Saturday?

>>6576477
> Good photo locations?
Almost everywhere. Atrium is the big one, but there are some ballrooms, long hallways, and a view of the Potomac river which makes a great backdrop.

> What's your favorite section of Katsucon? where will you be spending your time?
Katsucon is a big cosplay con, so I'm fond of having a light bite to eat and watching people, and there's usually good anime playing. I'm skipping the ball this year but the new Japanese Cultural Institute may grab my attention.

> How long have you been coming to Katsu? what made you start?
A few years, forget whether this is my third or fourth. Old friend of mine got me into going to more cons than just Otakon.

>>6576477
> Good photo locations?
I love the gazebo area, though not necessarily the gazebo itself.
Also, The Awakening is pretty nifty if soccer moms aren't letting their little ankle-biters use it as a playground.
>What's your favorite section of Katsucon? where will you be spending your time?
I usually hang out on the Gazebo level fangirling over all the awesome cosplays. I also like the artist's alley and dealer's room, so if I'm in a costume that allows me to walk properly, I usually chill there
>How long have you been coming to Katsu? what made you start?
I think this is my....eighth time? Maybe seventh. I've been attending ever since it was at the Omni-shoreham (had no idea that was haunted, btw).
My birthday's february 18th, and my friends were all connies and one day I just decided to go. I've been going every year since.

>>6577843
I get the urge to watch it on occasion....like right now, for example.
He really does capture the feeling of the con. Beautiful cosplays, people just hanging out, goofing around, having fun at an absolutely beautiful location.
Also, it cracks me up watching my friend spin around in a circle wiggling her arms during the part of the video I'm in.
>>6577901
Thai Pavilion. Holy poop it is so good. I'll probably go all three days.
The Pad See Ew is absolutely delicious. And it's never been too super busy whenever I've gone.
Do NOT go to Ketchup. The food was awful and overpriced, waitstaff was rude, and it just was not worth it. At all.

>>6577901
sage for double posting

I doubt you're planning on blowing all your cash at a place like Bond 45[steak], which is easily the most expensive restaurant in the area -- there's a good but pricy seafood place slightly less pricy than Bond. Ketchup is a bit less pricy than both of those[all the main dishes are less than $30] and has a wonderful variety of foods. Public House is a pub about a block from the con center that's pretty nice and has good appetizers and drink deals -- my favorite non-chain is Elevation Burger, which is kind of that whole "fast casual" trendy style. It's got amazing shakes and burgers for a bit over ten bucks. There's also Thai Pavilion that does a lot of great stuff for a reasonable price.

There's a nice Mexican place that I haven't eaten at, and there's a few other sit-down places that I don't remember. hope that helps.

...You know there are WCS prelims at Katsucon again this year, right? Why wouldn't there be judging on the schedule?

Anyone else bringing edibles and some stuff already rolled to share with random people?

>>6589896
Okay so its possible that this is the schedule but its not fully updated and ready to debute? It went from half the blocks being closed to a lot of it being replaced with panels.
Ill just keep an eye on it. Polite sage for ramble.

Oh. I did not know that.

>Katsucon has no restriction on photography using hand held equipment. Our only concern is that such activities not impair the flow of foot traffic through convention spaces.

>However, photography requiring dedicated floor space and/or free standing equipment to include lighting or other electronics in convention spaces must be requested and granted from the convention’s leadership in advance.

>This will ensure that sufficient and safe space is available prior to any photo shoots. If sufficient space is not available, Katsucon will suggest convention provided areas for such photographic actives.

>Professional photography outside of convention spaces, such as the hotel lobby, rooms, or exterior, is outside the control of Katsucon and as such would be subject to the rules and provisions of the hotel itself. Past experience tells us that the hotel management would prefer these activities remain within Katsucon controlled convention spaces.

The Gaylord had best not come after me for taking shots in "non con" areas like the gazebo.

Psh, not gonna stop me from getting people in there and taking shots. I love sneaking into restricted areas and snooping around with my cam and gear anyway.

in b4 cosplayer revolt

Revolt because they don't want lighting stands and tripods in traffic areas? Yeah, no, that's a completely reasonable request.

So you'd rather everyone suffer and maybe force Katsu to move venues than just accept that the Gaylord might not want you in some areas? It's not that bad, if a hotel staff member says move, move, and don't take up too much space for a shoot.
