Reminder; Today's the day!
Hope you're all well rested and ready to explore this years Anime LA in sunny southern California!
Have a great and safe con guys
Checked the forecast. Looks like the high today is suppose to be 75. Sounds like it should be a nice day. I'm finishing up my costume today, for tomorrow.
Should we show up in cosplay for the meetup?
Con filtering people through the center in one spot no signage stating as such.
Hooks are bigger than holes.
Con confirmed shit
Anyone wanna talk? It's my first con and my friends are staffing, so I'm pretty much alone.
>Tfw you don't want to roll out of bed
>>8837783
>hooks are bigger then holes
What?
>>8837790
For the badges
Im here guys. Going to con-going 101. Not much to do meanwhile
What do you guys recomend?
So I haven't been to the new location yet, but I usually ghost ALA. Is that a possibility here?
>>8837790
>>8837802
Yeah. My lanyard broke within 10 minutes of getting my badge because of the damn hole. I'm gonna just keep it on my purse this weekend.
I haven't been out yet today but last night the con felt weird. Like a mini Fanime. I was talking to a staff member last night and they said they had 8k pre reg for the con which is a crazy jump. Holding out for the same fun though. I'm gonna get into my Metal Slug costume and head out in a bit.
>>8837805
Sucking my cock dude>
>8837783
Update two entries now with badge
Holes still larger than hooks news at 10
>>8837808
Metal slug I want a pic!
I'll be on the hunt for you in a non threatening manner
how is the new (temporary?) location anyways? Couldnt make it this year. Is it bigger than last year or is it about the same?
>>8837815
Although larger it doesn't really feel all that big due to the convention centers design
I heard that con suite might run out of food early this year.
Wow, 8k sounds insane, and given the layout I can see how it'd be like mini-Fanime.
I'm leaving my house in LA to head out there in an hour or so, hopefully traffic isn't too nightmarish.
>Survey Corps Dance Corps at the Opening Ceremony
>>8837808
Geeze. Sounds like tomorrow is going to be busy. Goes to show how they really needed to move out of being a hotel con.
Hopefully they get the kinks out for next year.
>>8837831
Did they dance for 45 minutes straight?
Barely getting to the con. How are the lines for pre-reg?
When is the meetup? I missed the other threads.
>>8837949
9pm raddison pool deck
Pic related, i kekked
>>8837949
9pm radison pool i belive
Alone at the con. Anyone need any company?
>>8837975
If you're down to hang for a bit, waiting for roomates to arrive
>>8837975
Yeah me. Where you at?
>>8837983
At the tables near the stairs in the center blueish beanie
>>8837985
Be there in ten
>>8837985
Wheeere?? I don't see a blue beanie
>>8837808
Because Viewster is shit
>>8838002
Near the atm machine?
How's the new location?
Is there plenty of space to wander without actually buying a badge, since I'm a cheap fuck?
Friends got in super late and decided to turn up instead of sleeping, so I'll probably be at the con around 5:00 if anyone wants to pre-meet
>>8838002
Where you guys at?
>>8838028
We're at the raddisson game room
>>8838028
If youre heading here we can wait for you
>>8838048
Blue beanie? E-gaming room?
>>8838065
Yes, purple shirt also
I see no one with a blue beanie
>>8838082
Its the one with ddr in the back right!
Dance dance revolution?
>>8838100
Yeah
Come to third floor at Radisson for fun and drinks
Does anyone want to go grab some food near by?
>>8838183
Where at?
>>8837831
I'm sorry.
You know. I totally forgot until now, but there's an air museum not far from the con in Chino(about 30 mins?), could be a pretty cool place for photos.
How strict are the weapons check people being?
>>8838194
Dennys?
>>8838238
Not very strict from what I am seeing
>>8838273
Thats fine where do we meet?
check in is at the con center right?
Any of you seagulls wanna meet up and drink before the meet up?
If you didn't have any real plans to go to any panels or artist/dealers hall, is there any point in buying a badge?
Are they being strict about people just walking around without a badge?
>>8838371
You can not enter the convention center without a badge you could lie about going to registration and just walk around thougb
>>8838331
Come to 3rd floor, any and all seagulls are welcome.
>>8838407
3rd floor right now?
>>8838419
We will be at our room at 8. Drop by if you would like to.
>Maguma made an AMV using only Street Fighter V clips
Oh shit nigga what are you doing?
>>8838419
We just got back and are just setting up. Feel free to drop by if you want. We will be playing anime music pretty loudly.
>tfw beanie is too busy hooking up with some guy to hang with you
feels bad man
>>8838441
We'll stop by before we eat.
Also sorry, not-so-anon. Priorities.
>>8838498
Alrighty
>>8838441
Awesome. It's the Radisson right?
>>8838557
Yes.
I got rum. Where's the room at?
>>8838572
After 3095, door will be open.
>>8838583
This room still open?
>>8838614
It should be.
What's this about the double tree being on fire?
>>8838614
The second open door.
>>8838623
Wat
>>8838625
There is no open door
>>8838623
Yep someone's phone caught fire it seems.
Room is 3093 that or find space dandy walking around.
Pool is closed, dock is packed. Meet in the less packed and more seating room of the lobby. Look for me.
Some sprinkler just broke lmao
Where's the meet up?
>>8838674
Lobby of the radison
>>8838679
Are you the space dandy?
Did the gathering end? No Space Dandy and seems to be just regular con goers around the lobby.
>>8838699
Everyone is in the room party on the third floor.
Where are my ribbons
I'm going to the rave with a flask. I'm going to see if I can give it to an underage girl. Wish me luck.
>>8838741
Kill yourself.
How does Mike even have the money to advertise Newcon down here?
>>8838750
Can do!
I was just fucking around anyway. My real goal is to touch butts. See how many butts I can touch before getting caught.
>>8838751
Even as someone who was directly affected by Mike's sleezy bullshit, just drop it. Newcon was successful this year, Mike, despite being a douche, clearly made money from it, it's not a surprise. We don't need to bring this shit back into the limelight because it won't matter, so drop it and enjoy your con.
Party still going on? Are no names invited? We have booze
>>8838759
Fuck yes. Get over here. There's only hard stuff left.
>>8838765
What room?
Yo, the party is at 3093. Go nuts, only hard liquor left so booze would be welcome.
>>8838769
I have nothing to offer and will drink all your hard alcohol straight.
Can I still come?
>>8838779
Hurry. Everyone is way to drunk and we're dieing.
>>8838769
Well be stopping by with a six pack in a bit. All iwe can afford right bow
>>8838785
way, way *too drunk
FUCK SECURITY AT THE RESIDENCE INN KILLED OUR PARTY AND KICKED US OUT. 6 PEOPLE ARE NOW OUT OF A ROOM.
Did anyone get video of the Celebrity Dub Show
That was great stuff
>>8838798
A con hotel is still a hotel, baka.
Good luck finding more seagulls :<
>>8838798
I hear if you can get from the roof to the ground within 10 seconds you and your party can get a FREE ROOM
>>8838798
Kill yourself
Party good y'all. RIP in piece double tree
Anyone got evacuated from the Radisson due to water damage?
>>8838828
Still in my room
Any seagulls looking to plow?
>>8838846
I'll plow you m8
Where's the pic dump
Oh fuck! I heard shots fired at the Holiday Inn.
Yooooo, anyone pick up an extra phone? You should probably check it's recent texts so you can potentially contact me
If I have any complaints about this year, it's only maps - I figured them out day 0 but I've been hearing people are having issues with the layout because half the rooms people are looking for are in the hotel...
Either way hope tomorrow (Today?) goes good yo.
I'll be one of these two today. I still can't decide.
Anyone got one of those question mark mystery boxes? Mine was pretty solid.
>>8839038
What sre those boxes?
>>8839040
Grab bags being sold for $35 in the exhibit hall. You have a chance of winning a PS4 or something. My haul was pretty solid aside from a BEYMAX plushie cuz I hate BH6
Pic related is the box
>Walk all over the con
>Over hear a bunch of people wishing ALA would move back to the LAX Marriott
I think I missed it but how was the line for prereg yesterday? Clusterfuck or did they have things running smoothly?
So there was a fire and some sort of water damage?
What else happened?
>tfw you don't remember shit
>>8839098
Saw some girl being carried out in a strecher. Dont know the details. I think she drank too much.
>>8839102
Tfw my non non biyori hat is missing after last night
AA gull here. Since the alley closes earlier today, I'm going to the raddisson afterward with a 6 pack. Where's the seagull flock going to be tonight?
You party weebs are the worst type of people. Destroying shit and making yourselves look like retards. I hope more hotels make stricter rules next time. You guys really give anime and cosplay fans a bad reputation
>as many trannies as women
>One girl from /pol/ calling people cucks
>no cosplays
This is actually exactly what I expected but still had fun. /k/ meetup was good too.
Also have fun trying to post with the hotels shit internet.
Where's the peace bonding station located?
>>8839135
>peace bonding
Just wander until someone stops you, feign ignorance, and then go.
>>8839110
nyanpasu
>>8839135
110 I think they said. Otherwise some of the door guys have zip ties
>>8839136
That's what I did. Went in and out of the con till I got stopped. Kinda forgot to be honest.
>>8839132
>One girl from /pol/ calling people cucks
Ha. Was it the Umaru?
>>8838498
Were you really hooking up with some guy? Hopefully not a fat weeb? D:
>>8839156
Yeah, she was pretty cool. We both helped a drunk person not fall over for about 10 minutes (the guy nearly fell on her more than once) and then we compared our digusting mixed race ancestory.
Cell phone catching on fire was a freak accident. Water damage is from hanging clothes on a fire sprinker. Woman on gurney is hot sauce related. No con damage related to partying. Don't stop the turn up.
>>8839138
You find it m8?
Have saturday badges sold out already?
>>8839190
I told her she was 0/10 and obviously a tranny. I think I pissed off her boyfriend with that line though.
>>8839185
>hot sauce related
What?
>>8839196
No but I wish you luck
that feel when none of the girls there were dtf
especially the hotline girl but the other 3 hotline cosplayers were probably getting it in
>>8839208
Saw her leaving with the cute short-haired swan. Not sure if anything happened though.
>>8839198
I hope they're not going to sell out, I haven't left yet and the con is an 1 1/2 away from me.
>tfw lady at check in never told me about the breakfast coupon
Staff was nice and still let me get them though
>>8839231
I literally just figured out you need a ticket after eating my breakfest a minute ago. I left a awkwardly a few minutes ago.
>>8839198
They never mentioned an attendance cap so they shouldn't.
>>8839121
When does AA close today?
>>8839208
>that feel when none of the girls there were dtf
>slept in a bed with friends internet friend last night
>pretty much cuddling
>she was too drunk to do anything
might be called a beta for not doing anything but i think the moralfag in me made the right choice since I hardly know her.
sadly my penis is crying though.
>>8839205
There was some sort of hot sauce challenge at the game show.
>>8839246
My guidebook says 7pm
Did anyone miss the spaghetti ribbon last night?
i havent read anything about this con and am probably gonna drop by for sunday.
anything i should do? anything neat to buy?
im not gonna ask if it's worth it because im dead set on going and $35 is nothing
>>8839268
Yeeeah, I was looking forward to it but I had to watch drunk friends after shenanigans
>>8839268
Yeah I need one!
How lax are the peace bonders here?
I ask because at Fanime they wouldn't let me have a kid's toy bow and rubber arrows.
Y'all niggas ready for round 2?
New bottle of Jameson for tonight :3
>>8839316
How get coffin ribbon?
>>8839268
Yes, hope to catch one tonight
>>8839316
Thanks for the sandwich
We also found a pair of red shoes in the bathroom.
>>8839047
Grabbed one at your recommendation and got a Duck Dynasty costume, wig and beard included
>>8839302
projectiles are generally a no no at most cons, doesn't matter what they're made of
>>8839340
No probs man
Thanks for holding on to my phone
Shoes aren't mine though lol
RIP 2016-2016
Hey /cgl/, i'm thinking of going to my first con here in March. I don't really have anyone to go with yet (although i know there's this dude that's all about anime in my university group, so i might chat it up with him at some point) and i probably don't plan to cosplay, unless it's something super simple.
Anyone know what the expect as a first-timer? Thanks.
>>8839383
Wow, well i didn't mean to post this here.
>>8838798
>Residence Inn
Nigga, it's the comfy old people hotel you don't do that shit here. You just chill.
If you wanted to party you should have booked a place at rachet radisson.
>>8839121
What's your booth?
Found this! Comr over to the party room last night!
>>8839503
>Kaga
a shit
>>8839196
We have it, come get later.
Anyone else in the AA doing mediocre?
I cant tell if its the con itself or if my merch is just poo
I can only go Sunday. Is there even anything worth seeing or doing tomorrow?
>>8839520
It's decently slow, but I expected that coming in. Double the tables plus higher than average ratio of cosplayers to casuals. The casual attendee came there to purchase things, vs a cosplayer that already spent a lot of money and can't carry around purchases all day.
Most people I know come to ALA to party, not to buy
>>8839536
>casuals
Nigga wut. I'm balancing buying, cosplay. Panel going aaand partying.
Get on muh level
>>8839270
Swapmeet is over. There are some decent deals in the dealers hall and artist alley is artists alley. Overall mehh
But if you can afford it then drop on by
>>8839344
Solid, how do we identify you?
>>8839554
Doesn't change the fact that the overwhelming majority of the time, sales are to non-cosplayers, people that are changed out for the day, or someone with a lackey. You being an exception doesn't make it any less of a pattern.
>>8839559
Are you a cosplayer? I sense a major amount of entitlement and elitism for on your poats . Just let It go bro.
>>8839564
I'm an artist. How is it elite and entitled to say that I notice most of my sales go to people not dressed up? It's part of my business to recognize patterns.
>>8839557
Wearing a long sleeve denim shirt, i'm walking over now
>tfw haven't gone to a single panel
I came here alone, so I'm walking around like an awkward idiot.
What's everyone up to?
>>8839618
Fucking for two hours straight in our room
>>8839618
Me too, keep wandering dealers. Don't have time for many cons lately and I've forgotten how to talk to people.
>>8839618
My hangover just went away, might meet up with some grilfriends and check out the con. Wearing Yaoi shit, feel free to say hi.
>>8839618
Not much, want to meet up? I'm chilling in the lobby with a messenger bag and blue shirt
>>8839637
Yes of course
>>8839578
Aww dude sorry, had to go off-site. Will you be around later? If 21+ I got some Basil Hayden for the trouble
Undertale gathering
>>8839456
There is a seagull on my banner, #113. I'm cosplaying as Aranea from Homestuck today.
>>8839637
Yes, radisson at the same room from last night. 3rd floor.
>>8839724
Thank you for acknowledging that Kaga an ok ship.
>>8839722
How's the smell
Just got done with the Undertale shoot, and my friend never showed up due to work.
Is anyone doing anything? I've never actually been to a con by myself.
Qt grils notice me
>>8839751
I wasn't here yesterday, details?
>>8839825
3rd floor radisson there will noise coming out of the room and the door will be open.
>>8839832
Not the OP, but I might stop by for a bit tonight, since I live only 10 whole minutes away.
Is there anything I could bring? Like booze or mixers?
>>8839871
Something to smoke out of
>>8839919
A can and an apple.
Got it.
>>8839919
Does this work?
>>8839919
A pack of menthol lights?
Has anyone had any luck ordering pizza?
Anyone down to drink now?
>>8839943
I'm down.
>>8839943
Down if there's a place.
>>8839943

>>8839871
Mixers are appreciated. Here is what we have.
>>8839979

3rd floor party is a sausage fest boiled in sweat.
??? Any parties?
>>8840262
There's one in the lobby of the raddison. Looks the most fun. Good luck trying to mingle, though
>>8840262
Yeah. Third floor, just gotta maze through. I almost gave up before I found it. I've already called it a night, but will there be a party on Sunday?
>>8840254
Fuck it was taco fest but they saw no guys wtf.
What happened it was a sausage fest and then all the guys left to get girls and then it became a Taco party and now it's mixed. Holy shit guy 10/10
