Con's in a week and change. Anyone going? I know there was a thread last year though it didn't get a lot of interest. I'm really excited about the venue change
inb4 "Anime North is coming to Texas!?" Wrong con, bucko.
>>8712962
Glad you made a thread, anon!
I'm local so I'm planning to day trip on Saturday, should be interesting at least.
I went the first year, didn't buy a badge, said my hellos to several con-friends and then left after an hour or so.
Considering buying a badge this year just to see Quantum Destiny's panels and maybe enter the costume contest.
I have a bunch of friends going, even some co-workers. They're all excited about Asuna from Sword Art being there.
What is everyone wearing?
I know ANT posted about all the pretty photo locations so we should at least get some good photography out of this, I hope.
They posted the schedule
I usually only go to big cons like Akon and Afest around here, but I'll see how it goes. Not expecting much.
This will be the first time I have off to be able to make it to this one. The fact that it's only 10 minutes from my house makes it even better as well. No need for a hotel at all.
What's everyone bringing? What are you attending?
Can someone explain what they're thinking with these badge prices?
Why is this tiny ass con charging $45 for a badge?
>>8724865
Anon 45 for a weekend pass is pretty cheap. Both A-kon and Afest charge over 50 at the door. In fact it's nearly 45 for an A-Kon pass right now.
>>8724865
They did groupon and I got it for like... 20 bucks. Cheapest weekend pass I ever bought.
>>8724977
I'd agree that $45 might be reasonable/cheap....if the con had even 1k attendees.
How many people usually attend this thing? Close to Afest number or what?
Smaller than afest. Way smaller.
>>8727158
well I hope it isnt some little meet up attendance or I'm going to be pretty pissed
not really. I live thirty mins away
>>8727199
Bigger than mini-Akon, smaller than Afest. I think it's around Ikkicon's size.
>>8727287
But Ikkicon and Afest are around the same size...
>>8727287
>>8727419
It's smaller than Ikkicon, last I checked.
>>8727419
What? Are they really?
I haven't been to Ikki the last few years but I recall it being much smaller than Afest.
I went to ANT the first year and it was microscopic. I'd say it's probably grown by now but I don't know how much.
They've got to be decently sized by now though since they're flying a cosplay guest from Canada, right?
>>8727419
Only because Ikki has been growing while Afest has been shrinking because of Labor Day weekends.
Afest 2014 had more people than Ikkicon has ever had. The mid August date + FLOW can be thanked for that.
Afest this year was still pretty big, guys.
Any meetups planned?
So how did Day 1 go, texasgulls?
I might show up tomorrow, depends.

>>8731449
That's her own damn fault, she knew the cosplay she was doing and should've known what to expect from everyone else
>>8731449
true plus i was one of those assholes ha
so any other notable cosplays ?
>>8731465
Saw a TTGL group, was alright but the kamina could've been better, Yoko was cute though
I saw at least 2 Yokos and 1 time skip Nami. How were those girls running around like that considering how damn cold it was?
I was fully dresses and still cold.
>>8731471
I kno that kamina its been awhile since he had the chance and it was last minute
>>8731606
I can see that, loved his cape, you know where he got it?
>>8731645
Yea a friend of his made it for him
Pics of this Kamina you gulls are talking about?
>>8731849

>>8732889
Oh, I wasn't sure I mean I guessed they were "together" together
>>8732900

I loved this group but their cosplays seemed eh to me. Don't really understand how they won best overall in the contest.
