REMINDER
DAY 0 TOMORROW/TODAY
Hype level: GET
How long are you gonna spend inside your cosplay?
MY BODY IS SO READY
>>9077864
Two days straight the entire time.
>tfw arrows I made fit perfectly inside the quiver box
Wish I would have realized this before I went out and tried to make a box for the arrows via 10"x10" box and wrapping paper tube.
Oh well
>>9077864
I am bringing about 3, it's really just going to depend on the mood of the con and such
Also anyone else >can't sleep ?
I guess I'm excited but I get up in thirty minutes to shower and get ready for my flight anyways..
Haha I'm always super paranoid at airports so even though my flight is at 8:45 I'm driving to the airport at 4:00 (about 30-45 min away) and getting ready in thirty at 2 to shower lol
>>9077879
>Also anyone else >can't sleep ?
Gonna pull an all nighter desu
>>9077879
I'm the same way. I've noticed that as I get older however, I tend to sleep better because I don't have the same weeb energy I used to have when I was younger. I've been attending for 10+ years and I usually hardly sleep before or during the con. Now I get so exhausted that I sleep a little more and more each year haha. But who knows how this year will play out.
I don't blame you about the airport thing. Going to those is a bitch and I always go 2 hours ahead of my flight because fuckin shit man.
Would it be best to pick up my badge tomorrow as soon as it opens or say 8pmish?
>>9077879
I'm waiting for my friend to pick me up and drive all night.
>>9077887
From my experience last year I picked it up at around 7pmish and only waited 1 min in line.
There was no line.
But who knows, anything can happen, like Fanime shitting the bed (again) this year.
>tfw live 45 minutes away
probably gonna skip Day 0, Day 1 wait was like 2 minutes last year
I feel like shit not being able to cosplay this year
>>9077879 I'm working 4 am-9am and then having my friend pick me up at 9:30 to head to LA. I'd be mad if my job wasn't at a coffee shop.
>>9077894
Awww nuts,Just checked. I work tomorrow evening. Ima iether have to line up as soon as it opens or Friday morning.
>>9077864
Just thinking of doing the afternoon, it's too big for me to get around normally.
>tfw 10 minute drive to LA Convention Center
See you chucklefucks in the line.
NOOOO MY CAR WON'T START! I CAN'T GO ANYMORE! I NEED TO START DUMPING MY BADGE AND CONCERT TICKETS NOW!!
>>9077944
>tfw coming from phoenix
Gunna be a fun drive on the ole 10 tomorrow
>>9077944
>tfw you are also close af to LACC but couldn't afford tickets
T.T i live vicariously through you all...
So I was under the impression all my props would fit perfectly in my seabag
>nope
Twine is a lifesaver.
Hopefully they don't have any issues checking this bag in, I'm surprised at how tight this thing is staying together
>>9077970
Hope to see you around the con. Shame you ain't going to the meet up, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Have fun!
>>9077971
Call his boss you already got the time off man
>>9077971
are you me?
Literally the same situation. I asked for this Friday off a month ago and today I find out my name is on the list for work on Friday/Saturday. No show = getting put on the chopping block since performance reviews are coming and they're looking to get rid of people.
>>9077971
>>9077977
>>9077982
>be me, 3 days 2014 AX
>my first job
>ask cool assistant manager for time off
>assistant manager asks what for
>straight up say I'm going to Anime Expo
>she tells me that's fucking cool
>crosses me off the schedule for all four days
I was only 17 at the time, you guys just gotta be up front about it.
>>9077994
*3 days before
>>9077994
Just wait until you get to a pro job with management. It's ironic that I have enough money because of this job to go all-out on AX, but can't actually go unless I risk losing this job. Fuck it though, i'm going.
>>9078003
>tfw union
>tfw call out every other week
>>9077946
take the bus, hitch a ride, borrow a bicycle, uber, carpool. get as near as you can, near a common city landmark, then start asking people for a lift.
>>9077859
any AX kik or discord group going on?
>>9078041
Both are full of faggots
>>9077951
same, what time u headed out?
can we pick up badges with our registration on our fones ??
>>9077859
fyi, there's a major earthquake scheduled for saturday at sundown, on the San Jacinto fault.
>>9078064
You're the same person that said that shit during Fanime, aren't you?
>>9078061
yeah what the fuck? seriously, secret boi network is full of cringe and no one wanna go to your XD sekrit club.
>>9078066
no, los angeles schedules earthquakes now during holidays to not interrupt businesses.
>no boyz allowed meet
>dude we're totally not gay we just love cocks and guy only orgies meet
So guess no meets for """""""normal""""""" seagulls
>>9078082
Heteronormaltivity is for cis scum.
Hashtag triggered
Discord link please?
Josh here, going as tasuki friday and monday Griffith sat/sun and maybe tezuka for evening. Come say the hellos, we're planning some fun stuff
>>9078082
You might be talking about me with that "totally not gay we just love cocks" remark.
And I'm not gay, but $20 is $20.
Ca't do Iyami anymore. Which should be my Day 4 cosplay?
>>9078132
Your most popular cosplay from days 1-3 of course!
Need exact info for party me and my friends plan on going day 0
>>9078132
Someone needs to cosplay as moon man. God wills it
Anyone going to that Sonicboombox party on Saturday?
>>9078151
I did Moonman at Wondercon this year. About 80% of people who recognized me knew it as Mac Tonight. Mostly middle aged people.
The other 20%, well we got along very well.
>>9078153
racist
@line 1:40pm
Were the cucks that rode the motorcycles.
>>9078169
Are you in line right now? Why?
>>9078169
Why are they lining up? There was zero wait time on Day 1.
How do you guys pack prop guns & knives for planes? Checked or carry-on? How much trouble does the TSA give about such? Has anyone had anything confiscated or go mysteriously missing?
>>9078169
>90% are fatfucks, and the other 10% are lanklets
Jesus christ. Weebs will be second to go after jews on the day of the rope
Why the fuck is there a huge line for Day 0. It's not the shitfest it was the years before. Last year they literally just grabbed your paper, scanned, gave you your badge and bag and peaced out. I got in and out in 10 minutes on Day 0.
>>9078193
Thank you /pol/
>>9078061
Nah we kicked all the cringe and thirstys
Anyways fuck off we're full. Try again next year.
Just got to my hotel room after a long, stressful day of packing and travel.
So glad to not be in an airport or on a plane anymore. Was anyone else on that flight 945 that waited like 45 minutes before letting people out, due to weird gate issues?
>>9078212
rofl no one wants your cringe sekrit klub
heading up today from san diego,
going to day zero for artist alley set up
table g19 if anyone wants to stop by, seagulls will get a free button c:
>>9078212
>Nah we kicked all the cringe and thirstys
Ha yeah fucking right. You kicked out th people that weren't posting anything in that cringe circlejerk. If anything, it's only cringe people that are too delusional to see how cringe they are now.
>>9078212
>yfw you are in a way better secret club that is less cringe.
When's the seagull meetup on AX and where?
>>9078225
I'll stop by, anon. AA isn't open on Day 0 though is it?
>>9078232
Rad!
Its only open to AA people day zero, but anytime during the con is good ^^
>>9078230
Friday-Sun
8pm
Outside the building with the exhibit hall.
Look out for cancer and you'll find it.
>>9078235
Cool, I'll come by as soon as I can. Get some sleep!
>>9078230
Girls meet at 8:30 Friday.
I need to do some food/basics shopping once I get to the con. Are there any grocery or convenience stores nearby?
>>9078280
There's a Target up the street from the con in a weird mall thing
You fags better report from Okayado's panel. Not being able to get in to AX on a year like this is borderline depressing.
>>9078186
you can check in prop guns etc, no carry-on though.
Any ideas for a checklist of essentials? I always feel like I'm missing something.
>>9078431
I forgot to bring my D.S. Don't be like me.
Is there already a line? Can I cut in with some of you guys?
Anyone else calculate how much time they plan on spending just sitting in lines over the course of the weekend?
>17 hours
Goddamn the line is long. I sure hope AX reg doesn't crap out otherwise it's going to be hell.
I need a ride back up back north on the 5th. Anybody heading that way? I'm happy to pitch in for gas.
>>9078458
Are you a cute grill?
>>9078482
I'm a black guy.
Did people line up like this last year as well when reg took, what, five minutes on day 0? Was there any indication that they're doing this like they used to in years past versus what they did in 2015?

I don't even want to know how bad you guys are.
Who's in line right now?
>>9078536
to clarify on cringy
>this is the guy that asked me constantly for a week to be his fuckbuddy
>this is the guy who doesn't know there is a time and place to be a memelord
>this is the guy who if you tell him you're sad about not being able to do something, immediately brags about doing said thing all the time and doesn't understand how its annoying
the fact that your group makes him cringe is beyond me. I'm glad more people are becoming aware of how cringy you fucks are because damn son
>>9078540
On my way to LACC to hop in line . Not sure if it is the best idea, but me and my gf have to pick up her cosplay wig either way. Also just going to scope out the general area. We want to get around the area easy, but we will not have a car and my knee is no good for walking too long (recovering from an acl injury)
Whats the best way to navigate the area?
>>907858
There's the blue line in front of lacc that can take you nearly anywhere (I including lil Tokyo)
How late does day 0 stuff stay open? I want to get the badge/pass/whatever today, but traveling here sucked and I want to be in bed for a while.
>>9078633
Noon to midnight today
I'm a retard. What's the Delivery Options for mobile like? Do I get a text and show them that in the service booth?
welp we just spent half an hour getting the car to work again and back on the way to AX
homemade funnel in action
>Mystery Skulls concert tomorrow at 8 pm at the resident 5 miles away.
>Already got too much going on at the convention to go.
Just fuck my life right up.
>>9078050
Half way there m8 should be getting in around 3
>>9078650
You use the link in the text or download the Eventbrite app and log in with you email and use the QR code for the AX 2016 event.
do you guys think that someone would be selling this mask at AX?
I somehow lost my original one so I'm praying to young saint men that I can find one in the exhibit hall lol
>>9078225
Definitely gonna pick that print up homie
>>9078659
Keep a gallon of water for the car. If you were low on coolant you have a leak somewhere or your oil isn't cooling enough.
Get it checked out when you get back.
Who /finishingcosplayinhotelroom/ here
Walking out the door soon hoping to fuck I don't forget anything...
>>9078723
got a thing of coolant at the gas station and filled it
looked like the coolant boiled off before cause there was steam and water
So I got tickets for Saturday and im understanding shit right
>Get ID
>Get Cell
>Show QR Code to staff at AX
>They give me my passes
Is that correct?
Also how would I go about getting autograph tickets?
Will the con be streamed? I've been asking forever some just answer already.
>>9078741
>Will the con be streamed?
No
>>9078739
If you want autograph tickets, I'd suggest you get your badge the day before if possible? I don't know if it's possible, but I do know depending on who's ticket you want you may have to line up at 5am or earlier that day to get your ticket...
LINE'S MOVING
>>9078743
;-;
>>9078659
prelude?
Kek
How much will the Luluco shirts be sold for at the GSC booth?
>>9078758
find it and trigger the fuck out of everyone in it. If they tell you to leave, scream discrimination against tourettes.
>>9078758
Nice butt in the background.
How's the line moving? Probably getting there around 4:00.
>>9078169
What kind of bike you got senpai?
>tfw rode motorcycle to LA
The streets here are fucking shit
>>9078758
if someone is wearing that bodysuit they'll be hot as fuck in the LA heat
I am so fucking depressed. I went to my first AX last year and though I didn't have a good time, I know there was potential. I just didn't know what to do, or where to go. I was hyped for this year, but nope I have to be a good person and stop being a NEET and get a job. Being a wage slave is suffering.
>>9078780
What the fuck kind of job do you retards have? It's not like AX is on a random day, you can request time off way ahead of time to plan for it.
>>9078770
Isn't traffic really bad?
>>9078783
Traffic is bad, the roads are terrible and California drivers are retarded
>>9078781
I work at a grocery store. It's the 4th weekend. I can't get off that easily. I will next year though.
>>9078783
>Motorcycle
>Traffic
Finally finished my Philemon mask! Catch me at the Persona gathering on Day 2!
>>9078784
I think drivers everywhere are retarded.
>>9078787
>>>/x/
I'm probably just gonna fucking drive to LA at like 4-5 am so I can avoid the fuckfest traffic.
I drive stick shift so it's probably one of the biggest pain in the asses to get around where the LACC is.
Heads up to any of you that aren't native to the area. The area is a bunch of narrow as fuck streets, couple that with thousands of people trying to go in location and RIP.
Best place for free parking? I was thinking of going down venice and parking down one of the close residential streets. Anyone done this?
>>9078768
Line is moving pretty smoothly. I lined up at 11 and when they started letting people in at 11:45, I had my badge about 5 minutes ago.
>>9078795
You can if you don't mind walking (I forgot if they have No parking signs in that area). If you get there early enough, you can also park on the street under the freeway bridge around the corner a few blocks from the Staples Center. Totally legal to park there and it's a short walk.
>>9078798
How early though,?
>>9078787
looks great!
>>9078797
Do they have the same number of setups as last year for badges? Registration not being 24 hours on Day 0 scares me a bit, I was premier last year so I'm not familiar but I heard it was fast last year?
>>9078787
This is dope
>>9078805
It's fast as hell since last year.
They got rid of that "name badge" crap they did before and pretty much just give you a badge with a QR code on it now. At least that's what it was like last year.
If they didn't change anything, we're talking mad fast lines. Day 0 not being 24 hour shouldn't be a problem.
>>9078805
It looks to be the same amount as last year. It's fast like last year.
>>9078800
Are you looking for just parking or are you looking to get parking and avoid traffic? I'm from the West Covina area, so I know for me if I don't leave by like 5 am my 45 minute drive is going to be a 2 hour drive.
I'd think if you got there by 8 am you'd be good for parking. Just park, get some breakfast and head over when they open up.
>>9078758
What the fuck is this SJW bullshit?
>>9078810
I am looking for just parking. I actually live like 10-15 min away from LACC, but I don't want to take the Metro because I plan to come back home around 1-2 am. I was planning on parking down Venice on some of those residential streets but that area is pretty rough and super dark around 8pm. Walking there alone around 2 am is bad news. But I'd rather do that than pay for parking. I aint got other friends going to pitch for parking, so $20 a day is way too much.
>tfw I am going to AX as Guy Fieri
I got my flame shirt and I am wearing a fake goatee and those stupid hats with the fake hair on em. So if you see some annoying guy yelling out "We are heading to flavor town" around FAKKU, then that's me.
>>9078818
Are you going to find dead rats on the street, roll them in tortillas, and sell them as gourmet?
is anyone in line already? Jesus Christ
>>9078815
8 am would probably be your best bet then.
Heads up though the farther you park, the cheaper it gets. I sometimes find $5 lots, but it just requires me walking like 10-15 minutes to the LACC.
A lot of people just see the $15-20 lots cause they're paying for convenience and are planning to spend money anyway.
>>9078822
Papu franku would be very proud.
>mfw seeing the badge pickup line
[spoiler]So fucking glad I managed a press pass, in and out in 10 minutes where it would've taken me hours.[/spoiler]
>>9078169
>95% fatties, not just any fatty, way overweight fatties
>only non fat person I can clearly make out is a skinny faggot that literally does nothing all day not even eat.
O boy. Maybe buying a ticket was a mistake.
>>9078271
Excellent. I'll bring the condoms.
Looks like the goodie bags are these kind of backpacks in orange with a crunchyroll logo
I guess it's more useful than a normal bag
>>9078436
I would bring my 3DS but I use gateway and the last thing I need is some fag recognizing that and making it an issue.
Fuck /cgl/ meet ups. I went to last year's AX meet up, and I tried to talk to all the qt 3.14 but they all ignored me. Then they all left with the few chads that showed up. What kind of bullshit is that. Thats straight up normie shit, you fucking cunts. Fuck you.
>>9078849
I want one.
>>9078758
Good. The first step to solving any problem is gathering all the pieces in one place.
>>9078853
man what the heck is your problem
>>9078810
What the fuck time do you go at for the traffic to be that bad on a saturday?
I don't usually leave from around your area until about 10 am or 11 am and I've never had traffic that bad. The worst it took was 20-30 min trying to figure out where the fuck to park in the complex.
>>9078850
I brought my A9LH nip N3DS. I give no shits.
>>9078858
What's the fuck is your problem? I know that "no means no", but you fucking bitches didn't have the decency to do that. You all ignored me and acted like your shit don't stink and left with chads. If you really gonna act like that, then don't go to an anime con, it's not your scene you cunts.
>>9078867
pls dont be upset man
>>9078874
people say that??????
>>9078861
The 60W and I-10 are terrible past like 9 am cause of the rush to work. Then, when you close in on LACC you've got all the people going to AX on top of that. Last year I was at a crawl as soon as I got on the freeway for like half my trip.
Yeah though it probably takes an hour and a half to get there and 15-30 minutes for parking for where I live.
>>9078810
>West Covina
aww shit 626 represent
I moved years ago though
do you guys want a pic of the booze I got for meetup or want a surprise of which I bring?
me and a friend will get to the location at like 7:30 tomorrow. is there anywhere cool in the area to walk around or good places to eat? last year i went alone for only a day and just sat on the floor waiting for stuff to start hehe
>>9078876
O yea. I forgot this thing starts on Friday. I don't go until Saturday because I have work.
Now what you're saying makes sense.
>>9078904
WHy does Ax start on Friday this year?
>>9078898
Spring street dirty but has some cool stuff to look at
Grand Central markets got a lot of food options
Theres that mall up near the hotel block, also has shopping and food options
>>9078867
>>9078909
because 4th of july is on a monday this year
>>9078909
That's just how it ended up this year. AX is always on the first week of July. This year just happened to have the first week of July land from Friday-Monday.
Is the line moving fast like last year?
>>9078878
Fuck yeah, man.
We've got the 626 Night Market happening at the same time too. Planning to go to AX and end my night over there tomorrow.
RIP Wallet
>>9078758
This is for that one only females meetup right?
>>9078867
This is you isn't it? Should we be worried?
>>9078948
It's on all the attendee badges.
>>9078945
I didn't buy it pre-modded, I did it myself.
>>9078945
Yea gateway faggot. I'm glad you decided to wait ten years for a free crack but I was enjoying the system for years before the free crack and it still works great so I see no reason to change all my setups.
Okay, FINAL FINAL schedule. I'll see you all there this weekend!
I know this is probably futile, but Is anyone staying at the westin? I need a place to crash Saturday and will leave Sunday morning to check into my room. I can pay.
>>9078968
>Nabeshin
Imma need a picture of that
>>9078976
R u a grill?

Everyone post your cosplay plans
Sup bitches, any of you grills looking for some fuck?
2 hours of work left, then 5 hour drive time, then MAXIMUM AWESOME FOR THE NEXT FIVE DAYS.
GET HYPE
>>9078976
I am and I am crashing alone so IDK.... Can we meet in a bit? We can meet at LA Live or something, just to make sure I aint inviting over a creep who will cut me up in my sleep
>10 years of going to AX now
>grew up from a teen to a late 20s manchild
>tfw never EVER got con pussy
>>9078751
Get another one before you go home and have it looked at when you do.
>>9078751
Distilled water is best. The system is probably gonna get flushed since it might be a leaky radiator (like $100. Go check RockAuto), the cooling system is gonna get flushed anyway so water won't make a huge difference unless they're dumb and wait a month.
>>9079003
If you don't feel safe I can always go too and then we can have 2 creeps. That way if one cuts someone up, the other creep will cut the other.
Works vrytime
>tfw going from Vegas to SF and can't make it to AX
So close, yet so far.
Can you pick up the matsuri concert tickets on day 0 or the day of?
>all these cosplay gatherings on the app
Will you just stumble across them by wandering around, or should you actually keep track of any of them?
>tfw I am a fat fuck but not going to AX this year so I can loose 100 lbs by next year and get con pussy
Can I actually achieve it, bruhs?
>>9079045
That's two pounds a week, which is borderline too fast to be healthy. It would require constant vigilance for an entire year. You sure you're up for that?
Also, considering people usually want more than "not fat" in a sexual partner, don't consider yourself entitled to that kind of thing regardless.
>>9079050
I am currently 280lbs. I just want to get to 200lbs by next year for AX pussy. I wanted 100lbs off, but 80 wouldn't be bad either. Also I ain't looking for regular nice girls who get attached. I just want freaky cosplay bitches to suck my dick. Is that too much to ask?
tfw finally get to leave the 100+ degree weather

Nice one never heard that before. Didn't know if anyone wanted to meet up maybe grab a drink or two around the con center tonight
>>9079066
Please tell me you are the anon who was complaining about chads earlier
>>9078874
If you are not crushing pus, you need to up your game bro.
Ok boys and girls, day 0 went well . Although I did not realize you needed ID for check in. Luckily I had mine and got my 17 year old brother in. Can I get him a wristband for the dance night shit?
>>9078992
I am a guy willing to experiment.
>>9079142
You've probably never heard it because most people don't want to tell you that.
I would have met up with you but I actually have to work instead of being NEET so I can only do it on the weekend (just like your mom).
It's good to know 4chan is a place where I can get m shit jokes out of my system.
>>9079168
Stfu beanie, you're a disgusting human bean. That yaoi hat must smell dank ass fuck by now. How many times must you wear it?
>>9079168
Post pictures like the fag you are.

Should I go to AX. I was suppose to go with my gf but we broke up a while back. I have no one to go with and didnt prepare a cosplay because i wasnt sure if i was going to go.

Just got back from pick up
ID and your cellphone with QR Code or printed tickets are required
Met some British dude and his fiance turned away after like 10 mins in line for not having picture ID
That said I wanna say it took about 33 minutes from getting in line to walking out with my bag and badges
Also Chris and Del if your reading this hope your vacation goes well.
