wcs, cosplay show, little kuribo and general shenanigans

I would expect a san japan thread to have more posts...

Well i did just come up..
Where did you find the beta schedule, i was searching for it the other day but can't find it.

>>6979744
I was surprised there hadn't been a thread yet.

Beta schedule seems kind of lacking.

>>6980016

I'm not done with my cosplays--I have the wig, contact, and paint for Scanty, but I'm waiting till this weekend to go fabric shopping with my Kneesocks. I only have until August 2 to get it done though, because I'm taking Scanty to Otakon then to San Japan basically right after that. Asuka and Kyoko are done, though.
I never go to panels, since I'm mostly there for the cosplay and friends. Still excited though! My friend is flying in from Reno to stay with me for the con.

Gotta finish my Nathan Drake and repaint my Vulpes armor and im done. Gonna start the holster this weekend

Can I get a bump

What panels are you guys looking forward to most? Or is anyone putting one on?

>>6981542
I wish they released descriptions, some of them are questionable without one

Does anyone else think the "live action hall costume contest" is really dumb? Its an anime convention, but even on top of that they are giving more awards out for "research" than actual construction.

Not to mention the turnout will probably be abysmal

What is the estimation for homestuck invasion?

>>6982462
last year there was alot, didn't seem too bad as a group though, fairly civil from what i saw of them

>>6982462
Doubt there's going to be many this year. I barely saw any at Anime Expo in comparison to last year, but San Japan might be different because it's a smaller convention.

LET'S GET DAT CGL MEETUP PLANNED OUT NIG-NOGS

I'm supposed to be DJing one of the nights

Anime themed Hardstyle?
or Happy Hardcore/J-Core?

Pick one

>>6983167
The former.

I'm going and have yet to even come up with who I'm going as. I need to get on that....

>>6982266
brace for chubby female Tony Starks and a mess of dr. Who shit

>Are you done with your cosplays?
Hell no.
>Have you looked at the beta schedule yet?
Yes because I'm running panels.
>Anything you're looking forward to?
My own stuff but a few other panels are piquing my interest. I definitely plan to see Sifu Kisu.

>>6983644
You underestimate the Castiels.

Never been. Some buddies are trying to get me into it, but I'm just not sure. Someone convince me? Why is this con worth the drive (I'm in Austin, so not that bad, but still) and money?

>>6983673
because it's the best one in the state.

>>6983673
I'm in Louisiana and only SJ and Animefest are the only Texas cons worth the drive to me. Next year they should be months apart, so yay not having to choose one or the other.

>>6983713
wow anon, I'm sorry, are you going for the trifecta and hitting mecha too? I'm from TX and I haven't been able to make it out for mecha in several years because it's always sandwiched between sj and afest.

>dogs cosplay 101
>touhou project: an open discussion
>a very supernatural game of mafia
>are you smarter than Sheldon cooper
>cosplay story time

What are these even...
I want to know what they turned down that this is on the schedule. There is also way too much homestuck.

Not finished and feeling lazy right now. Need to work on my props.
Meh.
I look forward to not knowing what I'm doing ever, as usual. Will probably end up tagging along with random friends who actually plan on going to events/panels if they're okay with it.

>>6982462
It will be invasion of SnK and danganronpa instead.

>>6983146
Plan it, so I can sit on the other side of the room and stare at you guys creepily.

>>6983673
Best Texas anime con. Austin isn't that far, just go.

>>6984099
>Plan it, so I can sit on the other side of the room and stare at you guys creepily.

Seconded.

>>6983851
I've hit every Louisiana con at least once and have found none are worth the 1-2 hour drive for me warrant going a second time. Also, most Louisiana cosplayers are young teens who just are pretty damn dreadful in terms of skill and maturity and I just don't have the patience anymore for that shit.

>>6984121
haha that's fair, but I feel like that about just about every con I go to now. Being in my late 20s, I walk in and question what I'm doing there every time. At least the level of some of the cosplay in TX is pretty high.

I enjoyed mechacon when I went, but that might have just been me enjoying new Orleans in general. Still was a better con then a lot I've been to.

>>6984184
Late-twenties here too. We may even know each other. Weirdness. I also get that feeling at cons these days. Why I'm finally giving Dragon*con a go this year.

>>6983167
The latter

>>6983644
I'm so glad I'm leaving my Dr. Who cosplays at home this year. Shit is getting out of control. Will probably bring them back out once the insanity has stopped.

>>6982462
I'm betting on a wave of Attack on Titan, actually.

>>6983928
The Touhou one from what I'm hearing is just going to be a discussion about the game, etc. The Sheldon Cooper one is going to be like a game show style panel with people cosplaying from BBT and people from the audience can participate and win prizes.

Idk but the Sheldon one sounds fun. The others, I don't even know. I wouldn't touch the Supernatural one with a 10 foot pole.

>>6984686
>people cosplaying from BBT
kill me now.

>>6984712
mte

>>6984712
I will never understand nerds liking BBT. No wait, I guess low standards in comedy can be universal to all walks of life.

>>6984725
I admittedly watch BBT, but only because I take pride in understanding Sheldon's dialogue.
Interactions with Penny are very grating.

Not touching the panel though, just for that: >>6984712

>>6984686
I wouldn't want to meet other touhou fans in real life...

>>6984725
I thought the first two seasons were pretty decent.

>>6984732
Fortunately there are a lot of good panels on the list. The next updated schedule should be posted relatively soon, not with too many changes I assume, and for however many weirdass fan panels I don't like there's a handful of other ones I'd like to see.

Does anyone frequent the forums on here? What's up with that Redeaddie chick? It seems like she has to input her 2 cents on everything. Does she realize that no one gives a fuck?

How are the dances?

>>6983651
shitty party store black wings everywhere.

I hope the "contest" gets a shitty turn out so it doesn't come back next year. Encouraging these people is a bad idea

>>6984961
No, specifically because I know there's going to be local faggots like that posting stupid shit in the most annoying manner and I really don't want to get in trouble for punching people at the con.

>>6978489 (OP)
>Are you done with your cosplays?
I don't know what the hell I was thinking, why did I think I could have 3 new cosplays ready. I can't leave the house until the con now, no sleep for me either.
>Have you looked at the beta schedule yet?
Nope.
>Anything you're looking forward to?
The cosplay contest, maybe the WCS just because I'd like to see what kinds of entries they get. Looking forward to the dealers hall and artist alley too, don't ever buy very much but I love looking.

Actually kinda excited for the Live Action cosplay contest, I'm not entering but I think it's a nice idea. I understand the complaints from some but whatever.

>>6985308
>I hope the "contest" gets a shitty turn out so it doesn't come back next year. Encouraging these people is a bad idea

That's a lovely attitude. You must be one of those elitist bitch cosplayers I always hear so much about. What elevated subject matter do you like to cosplay from? You're a Homestuck faggot aren't you.

>>6985615
I'm not opposed to people cosplaying from live action shit, I'm opposed to pandering to people who throw bitch fits when they don't win a major award with a dr. who costume.

>>6984961
She's an elitist bitch with shit tier costumes despite her having gone to school for fashion design. She just likes hearing herself talk and posts hoping that someone does give a fuck when in fact like you said, no one does. She's pretty fake as hell too. I hung out with her once and wanted to kill myself. She talks about herself and/or fandoms. There's more to life...

Texasfags always have con drama. It's unavoidable because we have so many of the crazies here.

>>6985615
and you must be a fat female tony stark.
go back to tumblr, they'll listen to your bullshit.

How is the location? I've only been when it was at the Marriott. This is the first time for me at the new location

This will probably be my first con where I don't cosplay.


Friend con so I'm excited.

>tfw forgot to pre-buy pass
>tfw inevitable shit on-site line
but hey, I'm driving down from 817, anyone else doing the same?

>>6986131
The new location is odd because it's divided, the hotel is next to the convo center so it's like 10 ft between the two, so no outdoor walking but it breaks up the "action" so to speak. There's not really a nice central space to sit and people watch which was so nice at the Marriott.
Average food vendor in the open artist alley area, stupidly priced convenience store type food in the hotel. You can still walk across the street to the Denny's or Rivercenter mall's foodcourt for more options.

>>6986152
I didn't pre-reg for my badge last year and when I showed up Friday morning there was literally no wait at all for the on site badges; but the pre-reg line was ungodly long.

>>6986152
>>6986259
Is this the kind of convention where you can't even enter the con site and walk around in the lobby in cosplay without a badge? I kind of want to check it out for the crowd rather than any of the programming, but I don't want to have to pay just to mill around and chat for a bit.

>>6986275
You'll be able to walk around the lower level of the hotel and the outer walkway areas of the convention center, but you will not be able to get into the huge open room where the food vendor, artist alley, various events, and dealers hall is. They were checking badges hardcore right at the entrance to that part. You could probably hang out in the hallway areas outside of it, but it'd be a bit boring.

>>6986259
fuck that denny's
I tried to go 2 years ago and the wait was 2 hours long, ended up finding 24 hour Mexican food on the river walk.

>>6986345
Agreed. Last year I walked to it, saw the amount of people waiting, turned around and left.

They posted the other day that three blocks away is a location with about 6 food trucks. Nice variety, sushi, gyros, etc.

>>6986372
If the food trucks like they are at Luminaria then its sure to be decent

Is there an exact location for the food trucks?

>>6986613
http://alamostreeteatbar.com/ is what they posted. 609 S. Alamo. Gmaps says its at the edge of Hemisfair park.

>Done with cosplay

>>6987002
Thank you!

So where are we all getting drunk at?

>>6987581
I always get drunk with my bros in our hotel room... because I hate con people too much to search for decent people. I think I just drink the sadness away.

>>6988093
why do you even go dude?

>>6988821
LOL the thread hasn't died yet. Oh /cgl/ you move so slowly. Well I run panels and I enjoy seeing my friends. I'm an old fuck, so I have no tolerance for the wee children and their idiocy.

>>6990128
You made it sound like you just hate going in general, but now this just sounds like me...carry on

>>6990128
assholes like you don't deserve to go to cons. the less retarded old farts the better. i bet your panels are shit anyway.

I'm excited for this con okay

Wow, this thread is dead, usually we've been through two by now. What's the deal you guys? Everyone working hard on last minute cosplays or something?

>>6990633
It's probably because none of the more retarded tripfags have showed up yet.

I plan on going, getting drunk, and nailing any girl with low self esteem. Those are the ones that let you do the weird stuff...

>>6990754
Jebus isn't going so there's a big reason right there why the tripfags haven't polluted this thread.

>>6990754
I-I showed up earlier though...

>>6990340
Me too, anon.

Can't go, but I will be at Oni

>>6990242
You'd rather more unstable teenage homestucks at a con than old stable people? It's a shame you didn't get to experience cons before they were overrun by teenagers.

>>6991855
Everyone should be allowed to go because we're sharing interests.

>>6991845
that sure is a downgrade. Onicon is shit.

>>6992131
Come for the Final Fantasy music. Immediately leave.

>>6992177
I did that 2 years ago

Does anyone have progress photos or anything?

>>6986152
Also driving down from 817! I haven't made the drive to San Antonio before, but I made the drive to Houston for Matsuri this year, so I'm hoping things run just as smooth

>>6993819
enjoy 35, because that's pretty much all you see for 5 hours. Stop in west and get some kolachies. They will make it less terrible. Be prepared to about 30 minutes of delays as you go through Austin, it will not matter what time it is.

>>6993750
Yes.

Won't be going but hope everyone enjoys the best con in Texas, especially first timers.

>>6994145
Thanks trip fag, I'm going to Omnicon in McAllen by myself, first timer Q_Q

>>6992177
If I lived closer to Houston, I would do exactly this for Oni-con. Not even fair they got Nobuo Uematsu TWICE. I went the first few years, was never impressed.

>>6994198
this is the third year in a row they've had him. It's kind of old hat at this point.

Okay someone post progress pics or pics of things you enjoyed from last year. Anything. I want to get all hyped up so I actually feel like finishing my stupid cosplay.

Here's a pic I took last year to get us started.

I'm currently trying to make progress on Scanty and Kneesocks but my Kneesocks has summer school and I'm getting my wisdom teeth out on Friday so it'll probably be hard to work on it for a while...I'll share some pics from last year though (pic not me)
