>>9079680
I'm ready and waiting to shove my cock up your ass anytime you want anon~
Is anyone else in the Dragon Gate Inn? There's some room nearby full of people making high-pitched hooting noises. It sounds like laughter almost, but also sounds off. If any of you are involved, please stop?
>>9079680
>>9079682
day one off too a great start here
>i don't know what anime is and i'm going to an anime convention
>>9077456
Poor guy.
>>9079683
Sorry, I like to have my gf pretend she's a owl while we're having sex.
>>9079682
>>9079686
The thing is that I just found out about it last night and I didn't get a chance to sign up
I'm leaving at 4am to take the train, is there even a point to sleeping?
I don't want to pay $20/day for parking at the center, where can I find cheap parking?
I only know of that one lot next to the that giant glory church and the mcdonalds.
>>9079693
i was talking to my friend and he says to park in little tokyo and then uber to the con and back to your car. i parked at wondercon and it was like $45
>>9079687
Probably a troll. How can you be on this site and not know what anime is?
>>9079693
park at little tokyo for 10 dollars the whole day, then walk down to the Double Tree Hilton and take the shuttle to AX
repost from ye olden thread: any jokers, smokers, midnight tokers...? i'm at the L.A Hotel / across from the Westin, let's get lit -- my treat! any takers?
There's already a big line forming for autographs fuck
>>9079700
its midnight
Are they seriously going to be there all night?
>>9079696
You don't need to be a guest of the hilton?
That does sound nice tho. I'll think I'll go for that.
My biggest concern is if the place is safe to stroll around at night because the mcdonalds parking I mentioned is seedy as fuck.
How hard would it be to uber when I have to haul around a 6ft tall spear......I know I shouldn't bother,but I gotta hope
>>9079702
The parking structure is on 2nd Street next to Little Tokyo right where the crosswalk is.
Then you have to walk 2-3 blocks west on 2nd street to get to the Hilton and catch the shuttle
>>9079710
is the shuttle free? heard it was like 5-10 bucks
>>9079704
I think the uber facebook group has the area blacklisted but even then im sure there will be SOME service. People love money.
>>9079698
Oh shit I think I was just talking to you. Just saw your posts in the old thread. I was waiting for friends and talking to you about the elevators.
>>9079710
How does the shuttle work?
Is it going back and forth or can I miss it and get fucked?
My kitten died an hour ago. Hopefully AX will make me feel better.
>>9079717
>I think the uber facebook group has the area blacklisted
Why?
>>9079718
most likely -- nice ink! on that note, would anyone in yer group care to kick it? i've some drinks & snacks that i'd be happy to share as well. (:
Reminder that most of the people in these threads during cons are from /a/ and that the real meetups happen behind the scenes.
>>9079721
3 mile fares aren't worth their time.
>>9079717
Since when? I used uber plenty of times during the con last year.
>>9079720
Ahh man that sucks.Here's to hoping your jjba panel and all your gatherings run great for you
now I'm super curious about that Aksys lanyard.
I don't know what it is, but I want it.
It has to be better than this crunchyroll shit
>>9079733
It's black with red text that says aksys and zero time dillema.
I don't get why people care, you're not even looking at it.
L.A is fucking awful. The traffic is fucking retarded with no safe turns and an absolute fuck ton of one way only routes.
Anyways, can't wait to see all the cosplay tomorrow. Not cosplaying, but I'll be wearing polos with subtle video game references. I'll be wearing a yellow graphic kirby tee on one day. See if you can spot me.
Beware Anime Expo congoers, especially females. This guy likes to crash room parties extremely wasted, screaming things like HERE COMES DAT BOI or SHOOP DA WOOP, and will hit on anything that even KINDA resembles a girl. I took this picture of him to warn others. Be especially cautious. He goes by the name Goku Sanchez.
>>9079724
Sorry anon we already headed out thanks for the service elevator tip. Hope you find someone to chill with.
>>9079738
Damn, that looks really aesthetic.
I'm mad now.
>>9079741
doxing is against the rules anon
>>9079733
Yoooooo, I got one. I seriously can't believe that game is getting marketed in that way.
I thought they WUZ poor n shiet.
>>9079745
I saw a Persona 5 big bag too they must have given out at one point. Platinum mad. Got stuck with crunchy roll neon orange bag.
>>9079748
They were giving out P5 bags last year if you bought anything from atlus booth.
I'll definitely bring mine to make you fags jealous.
>>9079739
To be fair, thats mostly downtown/busy areas. But yeah our traffic blows.
>>9079748
Crunchy comfy bag is better than these shitty oversized chicken bags with some literally who anime.
Function over form, crunchy roll is shit, but those bags look mad comfy and easy to carry around.
>>9079749
Already jealous. Watch your back anon-kin
>>9079741
>Goku Sanchez
>>9079746
i don't think you know what doxxing is
>>9079749
You gonna line up to try demoing the game?
I'm kinda tempted.
>>9079756
what you're doing is libel
>>9079741
>someone actually being named "Goku Sanchez"
>>9079758
There's a line simply to get INTO the Atlus store.
It's insane.
And I couldn't get in the first 2 days because the line was never-ending and they had a cutoff and people were waiting outside the cutoff not realizing they were wasting their time.
>>9079763
Shit... I really don't want to spend too much money, but I know if I go to the Atlas store, that's gonna be my whole budget.
>>9079743
no worries -- what idle talk we had was more socialisation than i usually get, so thank you for that & thanks fer hoping. i'll take all the luck i can get! (:
back at ya, here's to hoping you & your friends have a wonderful time!
>>9079767
I only bought one thing and that was P3FES for $15 because I wanted to play the answer.
Anon from the other thread!
Got my Aksys lanyard! Super pumped to be Clover tomorrow!
If there's a line forming already for autographs, I'm wondering if it's worth it just to sleep for a tiny bit and head there around 4:00. I was going to aim for 7:00, but alas.
>>9079770
999 or VLR.
This is important.
>>9079747
They are, but the western market is what funded the second and third game.
>>9079766
What kind of Charger? Or is it just a base model?
>>9079769
No like cool Smt stuff? No hee ho shit?
Is it all just persona stuff?
Got a 3 1/2 hour drive ahead of me in 8 hours and I haven't even started packing, let alone bought a few essentials. tfw
>>9079773
999. I like dat wig too much.
>>9079778
yeah they have smt, I just never played it.
![4644[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/vn35KGs.jpg "4644[1].jpg")
>>9079717
>I think the uber facebook group has the area blacklisted
99.9% of uber drivers haven't even heard of the facebook group
I was planning on lining up at like 10 tomorrow, is this a bad idea?
hope all of my friends have areally nice time this weekend : ]
>>9079780
Excellent tastes. I hope I can find you and ask for a picture.
I've been to a good amount of cons, but I've always felt too reserved/shy as a guy in a mostly female hobby. I just feel like it's hard to want to ask for a picture without making a girl uncomfortable. But fuck it, I'm at a huge con for the first time ever and I think I'm just gonna ask, and the worst that can happen is they say no.
hope all of my friends have a really nice time this weekend : ]
>>9079784
i do too! here's to hoping anon's friends have an awesome weekend. :D
>>9079717
Uber doesn't work that way bucko.
For others still skeptical; can confirm that there are still a fuckload of drivers out and about right now still.
>>9079786
I may also be her on Sunday for the 999/VLR meet! That way it may not feel as awkward?
>>9079786
They can wander over to any of the 5 designated SafeSpaces and have you removed from the con for making them feel uncomfortable.
any booth selling contacts you think?
Somebody get Zun's autograph for me
pls
>>9079793
A-anon, why you trying to scare me.
>>9079796
>trying
>>9079796
So he can keeps those sweet cosplay pics to himself
>>9079783
For the badge?
If that's the earliest you can make it, then no. If for a panel, then also no
>>9079793
Speaking of safespaces, where are the located within the con and how large are they?
>>9079802
Is it the "no bullying" kind of safespace or is it the "i'm being triggered check your privilege" kind of spacepace?
Someone with more knowledge than me tell me which is the good tasting boba truck please
Is there really shit starting a 4am?
>>9079806
Today? No.
Other days? Yes.
How dumb would it be to be on molly at the con?
I convinced my really dumb friend to roll because I told him it would make him charismatic and give him a shot at getting laid. It's going to be his second time; his first time he took a quarter about a week ago.
Is this going to end hilariously poorly or hilariously hilarious?
Mfw not even going to AX this year and can't be the devil's advocate in person
>>9079786
Just be yourself bro. Don't be creepy, though. You'll get kicked out and they'll take pictures of you and spread it all over the internet.
>>9079804
Probably both.
>>9079802
The sign today was in an area like right behind and to the left of the info booth with barely enough space to even sit down. Assuming they'll be different once it actually starts tomorrow because it'd be hilarious if the safe spaces were claustrophobic little squares like that
>>9079805
Literally "The Boba Truck".
>>9079801
I already got my badge, my ride is just lazy as fuck and probably won't get out of bed until 10
>>9079809
seems fun 2 me friend just have some composure abt it
How early do you think I should get in line for ZUN? 2 hours early? 3? I know that shit is gonna be packed as fuck.
I'll actually be in cosplay this year, met up with Dr, cupcake, booze anon, a few others last time, everyone kinda fizzled out after group photo and stuff.
Dunno if people are being SEKKRIT KLUB this year or what.
>>9079818
a lot of hours
>>9079820
It's always sekrit klub
>tfw only going to two academic panels tomorrow
I'm torn between my pretty Pikmin shirt or my joke Neko Atsume shirt.
>>9079820
If anyone cares to skype or kik me info that's cool
>>9079831
joke -- comedy 4 lyfe
is there any free street parking if I go real early? i don't mind walking.
>>9079817
Ya. When he took the quarter, he had the mildest reaction of all the people I've seen roll for the first time. I think he'll be fine, but our other friend that's going with him is practically a shadow. If he starts acting weird in public, I'd imagine our friend won't do anything bout' it. Our shadow-friend is pretty attractive, so he might be able to pull off the whole being touchy and weirdly talkative with strangers, but I doubt the one I advised will be able to do it.
It'll be the battle of autism vs the pill. Will his social inadequacy and autistic mannerisms win, or will the natural feel good vibes from the pill win
>Tfw your skwad is already turning up and you're sitting at home playing Final Fantasy Brave Exvius
>>9079839
Not coming this year homo?
>>9079843
I'm heading over tomorrow evening, I've got some work to finish
What time is a good time to get in line tomorrow? The line closes at 11 PM today.
>>9079728
They are if it's surging, but that's just more money out of your pocket.
Anyone know if theyre doing wait lines for the large panel room or keeping up with copying SDCC bullshit of letting anyone in anytime
I'm a little on edge this year, given that this month alone has been nonstop turmoil: girlfriend of a few years broke up with me, my grandma passing away literally days after, stressed at work and losing a few friends.
Shit's gonna be tough, but I'm going to do my best to have a good time. Hope everyone does, too.
>>9079873
you could have a kickass time & maybe you'll even make a couple of new friends. you're great, anon. you're golden. "do or do not, there is no try!" p.s. time is pretty durn arbitrary, but graciously it only seems to go in one direction. take advantage of it, leave the past where it's at this weekend. (:
>>9079874
Thank you, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your words.
I'll be dressed up as Kylo Ren, so if waterworks start to flow, I'll at least be in character and make a show of it with a false tantrum.
Thank you again.

>trying to do fucking last-minute alterations to get a bodice to fit
>why am I such shit at tailoring
>>9079689
>always relevant
Yo anon, I had no idea my roomie kicked you out. I'm so sorry.
I just gave myself a nasty 2nd degree hot glue gun burn trying to finish my cosplay
see u fuckers tomorrow I hate everything
I plan on going on Saturday should I show up super early like 6 or 7 am so I don't have to wait more than 30 minutes to get my badge or can I just show up at 8 or 9 and it will be daijobu?
5am, can't sleep. Fml.
>>9079958
*4:48, and I haven't slept either.
I'm probably gonna head out at 7 too.
>>9079958
same thing senpai
I apologize for the state of my false lashes ahead of time. I have found the worst lash glue.
I may even run to Little Tokyo to fix them. The glue that comes with the daiso lashes is better than this shit.
Anyone going to the ZUN panel, please make this east coast anon happy and take as many pics as possible
>>9079963
Dude same
>>9079991
I just get the feeling I'm gonna regret not catching some zZz's while I still can;
Is there already a line forming for the exhibit hall?
Autograph line sucks. Pray for me, anons.
>>9080011
RIP
>>9079733
>>9079770
If you guys go to the panel, could you report details back please?
>>9079993
Getting some Starbucks and checking that out.
Good morning, anons. Is AX seriously already open?
>>9080011
Forgive my stupid question but
If I wanna grab say You Lie in Aprils authors autograph for my niece should I get my ass down there to make a line even tho the event is on Saturday?
>>9080011
Comparitively speaking, how much worse is it than your pass pick up? I was in the pre registration line for early pass pick up for an entire hour and a half.
S-stay on the red line pls guys... p-pls
So it's 7am and all the food trucks just pulled in
Lines are going to overflow into the streets. C'mon AX..
>>9080046
Why are people lining up this early?
>>9079741
>tfw I order at my local taco bell as Goku
JFC, came down with the norovirus on the morning of day 1. Fucking fuck me up senpai.
FeelsBadMan
Fucking degenerates.
>>9080055
Fite me punk
What the hell is the line for? the exhibit hall?
don't to be waiting outside just to get in the con halls because I'll bet the sun will be scorching and im wearing a zentai and facepaint today
>>9080062
Seconding this question. What the hell are the lines for?
How long do panel lines get? I want to go to beans panel and want to make sure I get in.
>>9080069
Jojo panel I mean
>>9079814
WHo's on first?
>>9080075
What's on second?
Dumb question about the layout of the convention center because I forget, are there stairs to get up to the floor with the live programming 2/3 rooms on the south hall lobby side?
>>9080069
At the very least line up 2 hrs early.
>>9080080
The boba truck.
>>9080091
>missing a classic joke
>>9079698
Down for that.
RIP autograph line.
Another bullshit autograph line where people in the waaay back got tickets first because the staff let so.
>>9080127
They were there since 4am, loser.
You're definitely not dedicated enough.
>>9080129
I was in line since 10pm, clearly I'm not dedicated enough
Mega Melf in the enterance line.
HYPED.
this is my first time cosplaying or wearing lolita in months, i don't think my body is ready for this weekend..
>>9080127
I was wondering why that line was moving so much. I was in the middle line and having both lines moving while ours was nearly at a standstill was terrible.
Still got priority on mine, though.
>tfw your ride got an emergency call to work so they had to take you early
Any anons want to help fight boredom?
Tfw looking from the outside
>>9080053
Yeah, I just woke up and suddenly feeling sick :(
I'm working it again, wearing muh gear again. Come say hi if you see me. Will be back on site later today, couldn't get Friday off work.
>friend that's cosplaying isn't here yet
>Entertainment hall and Kentia hall aren't open yet
>Just sitting because I don't cosplay
Help
>>9080228
As a bonus they wouldn't let me in with my box of crackers
Theyre really pushing no outside food this year.
>>9080233
No outside food this year? Are you fucking serious?
>>9080233
what about water??
>>9080237
Water is fine
>>9080235
Two unopened Ritz crackers gone.
The guy in front of me had his BBQ Chips tossed too
Be ready because it won't be easy to get them in.
Heading out right now,any gulls that see me hit me up
How long is the line to pick up your badges so far?
>>9080241
Wait do they go in your bag and pull them out?
No meetup this time?? But last time I met some great people
>>9080241
So how thourough are they?
Cause what if i put it in/underneath a "sweat towel" i leave in my bag?
>>9080248
What do you mean no meetup? It's Every night at 8.
>>9080247
Yes.
Back check-in will be a bitch for you if you have snacks or food.
Makes me glad I didn't get subway today
>>9080250
What spot?
>>9080249
Wonder if hiding packed lunch under a mountain of pads/ tampons would work
>>9080248
There seen to be a virus going around and people are getting sick.
>>9080254
Same spot as last time outside??
Last year I remember they only had bag check in the front and people could just walk to another entrance to avoid it. Anyone knows if that's still a thing?
>>9080261
I remember last year my friend got his stuff taken, but my stuff was let in.
Depends on how much the volunteer gives a damn.
>tfw you're big fan of Kawamori but don't have the cash to go this year
all I wanted was an autograph
>>9080266
The prohibited items list by the door literally doesn't even mention food. Just cite it if they give you trouble
>>9080264
I haven't gone to the meetups yet
So how long is badge line at the moment?
I couldnt show up yesturday cause got called in...
>>9079967
Roger. Going as strongest dairy.
>>9080274
Thank you based anon
>>9080261
I think its into event space only. LACC doesn't have food restrictions unless you're selling, that's why you see the hotdog and ice cream carts at the edge of the property.
>>9080273
Badge line is quick, entrqnce line is a pain.
>>9079698
how can I be sure you're not going to rape me
>>9080291
because AX has safe spaces
>>9080295
oh right I forgot we were blazing in there
what am i supposed to be doing right now
>>9080296
Maybe you'll get escorted back there if you ask for it
>>9080298
Hang out with me underneath the stairs. I promise to not kill you, only rape.
HOW LONG IS THE WAIT FOR THE LINES? Please someone answer ;_;
>>9080302
w-who are you
>>9080305
Like 30 minutes. Just go in the fucking line anyway you're gonna have to do it sooner or later.
>>9080305
Badge pick up is like 20-30min. Getting in is closer to an hour.
>>9080307
Your new best friend until noon
>>9080298
That's a man baby yeah!!!
>>9080233
Don't go through bag check
There are easy ways in with friends helping
>>9080311
but i already have a best friend :x
Badge lines are ridiculous, who would call this quick?
Hows the itabag game so far?
Say hi if you see me!
Heading to the con now, really dreading standing outside in the sun. Any other femanons rolling solo and wanna hang while we roast in line?
>>9080311
eh, i made it
Mfw I just walked up to bag check and asked "where's the premier check-in" and they let me in
>>9080338
TALLLLL
>>9080349
nice
>>9080348
Too l8, m8. Already bounced.
quick where do I get off the red line
>>9080357
7th Street metro center
then connect with either the blue or expo line to get off on Pico station
you can also walk to the convention center for about 10-15 minutes
>>9080125
So it wasn't just me who thought the autograph sessions have become byzantine.
What do?
>>9080260
Con plague strikes again? Anyone can confirm?
>>9080373
Maybe. It's mostly the Asian girls wearing the masks.
I'm running so late I was supposed to be in line for the viz panel by now ripperoni
So can someone tell me what the line outside (that isn't the badge line) is for? I hate feeling out of the loop, but it can't be helped for a con newbie like me.
>>9080391
Getting bags checked and exhibition hall.
>>9080392
danke
>>9080392
Will the line for the exhibition hall always be that insane?
>>9080398
No. You'll be able to just walk in soon enough.
>>9080373
Yea so avoid opening doors with your hands and don't high five strangers
Also im gonna ask if I can bring in anti-bacterial soap with me into the con
>>9080398
The Exhibit Hall isn't open for another 13 minutes.
Someone let me in at 9:30 and I bought some things. I'm back outside with a friend near the meeting rooms/press registration.
>>9080412
>buying things for full price
I seriously hope you guys don't do this.
>>9080417
Atelier was the only way to get a physical Vita version and it was sold out. It was also only $55 and it's an LE.
Them Taito drummers eh?
>>9080421
Too much for me but not bad overall.
I forgive you anon. For that purchase only.
AA is open! Table G19 for a free button, just let me know you're a seagull :v
>>9080422
fucking trap
Ill be dressed up as an otokonoko in dresses all 4 days... feel free to touch.....
My hands.
>>9080422
nice titty
>>9079967
You had Zun already shut the fuck up.
We are lucky he even came back after the embarrassment you guys were.
>>9079782
First rule of uber Facebook group.
we don't talk about uber Facebook group.
>>9080125
>RIP autograph line.
what happened/changed?
>>9079789
Dosent mean we are coming out to pick up your shitty no tipping asses. Not getting deactivated over a bunch of asshole entitled mouth breathers that rate us a 2 because we didn't have Icelandic 5 dollar a bottle spring water for free stocked up in the car. give us a call when it's 6x surge, maybe then we will.
>>9080256
Tbh it took me a while to figure out who you are (and I didn't actually figure it out, but I remembered the Asian guy). I had completely forgotten about him :(
Con plague is so real. Sitting on the toliet listening to two people vomit.
>>9080451
He lives on in our hearts. Got a girl and didn't want to bother coming this year
>>9079726
We all know that, you can tell it miles away. The way they write and the pictures they use are way different to the usual seagull posts.
>>9079809
You're such a shitty friend. I'm not sure if they would enjoy it with all the people and the heat going arround. Hope none of you faint.
...I hope you two have fun though. Just be safe!
>>9080469
Why? If his friend already had some and has a fucking sitter following him around with water he'll live. It'll either be a great time or he'll have a memory.
Im weak for legs
>>9079809
If it's late night at con (parties), basically everyone is rolling. During the day, no, don't roll. I can hook him up if he's tall and Asian though.
>>9080477
If that's part of her actual costume and not just some random spider prop it's amazing.
>>9080499
Sorry, I mean with gril, not drugs. I don't hook up with drugs.
>>9080105
splendid! i've flower, batter, shatter, crumble -- a spot of everything -- even an ice catcher to boot!
at the L.A. Hotel currently, considering having a toke & then cruising to the con. would you happen to be nearby? if not, time/place? (:
There's a earthquake scheduled for tomorrow at sundown, just a heads up.
My panel is in 7 minutes! Thanks for those who wished me luck!
