MegaCon is slowly creeping up upon us. Anyone feeling the MegaCrunch? Also, OUTCon is this weekend. Anyone going?
>>
Megacon roll call!

>What days are you going?
All 4
>What events are you doing?
Got photo ops with the HP guests, HP cast Q&A, wanna hit the AA hard. Other than that I mostly Jung hang around, people watch and see friends
>Where are you staying?
Rosen Plaza, next door. I miss when the con was in Feb/March so I could stay at a better hotel and just walk over. But this late May heat? Hell nah.
>What costumes/what days?
Not sure of the exact days, but cosplaying as random characters from Harry Potter, Sherlock, and Bob's Burgers
>Biggest relief/Biggest gripe
Biggest relief? Being able to get your wristbands mailed to you in advance. Thank God, no pre-reg lines for me. I'm not even annoyed at the price, 4 days and great guests so I'm cool with it. Biggest gripe? Besides the horrible time of year, I hate that the anime and universal contest are both on the same day, no way to watch both. I'm interested in seeing what will happen at the anime costume contest now that Anime Sushi is no longer running things. Those are big shoes to fill.
>>
>>9004496
>What days are you going?
4, hope the pass comes in on time
>What events are you doing?
No idea, I like to wing it
>Where are you staying?
Hilton, like I give a fuck about heat
>What costumes/what days?
May do my plague doctor though it is an old cosplay so it is pretty beat up.
>Biggest relief/Biggest gripe
Wristband mailed to me, holy shit is that nice. Biggest gripe is that I didn't book a hotel sooner and that it's probably gonna be crowded as all hell. This con has gotten so fucking big.
>>
If I'm going to MegaCon (got back from PAX East which was a BIG trip for me) I'm only going on Saturday.

I'm playing a show at OUTCon 3 PM

>Biggest relief/Biggest gripe
I don't have to wait in the pre-reg line, god bless
>>
Just moved to miami, is this con worth going to?
>>
>>9005516
Its one of the top ten cons in the country, definitely worth a look.
>>
>>9005516
Yes.
>>
Does /cgl/ still have that 4chan meetup or did that eventually go away?
>>
>>9004496
>What days are you going?
All four.

>What events are you doing?
I'll be working at a booth but the only thing I care about is the Ryo Horikawa panel and signing.

>Where are you staying?
I live like five minutes away so at home.

>What costumes/what days?
Okita Souji/Sakura Saber, possibly some others left over from older cons. My next costumes will be for AWA.

>Biggest relief/Biggest gripe
Biggest relief is that I can go for free. My gripe will be trying to get into the one panel I actually care about.
>>
>>9005687
We've had one each year so I assume there'll be another. It usually gets organized on here a bit before the con.

We'll be here again giving these to seagulls for free.

>We are in the AA at A473 (near-ish the back of the room). Or look for the big wallscroll of Sylvanas.

Take care and get your cosplays done in time gulls!

Ohhh I like the new one! I'll stop by and caw!

>Biggest relief/Biggest gripe
So many people.. haven't been to a huge con in a while.

Look for me! I'll be giving away chocolate chip cookies in a little picnic basket because that's what I do.
>>
I think I'll go to this con. I live in Florida, so might as well right? My first cosplay will be at anime expo this year, so I'll probably just wear that cosplay (Kaga from Kantai) here. Are hotels crazy? Is it actually a big convention? The website seemed a little underwhelming.

Oh nevermind, I was thinking this was metro con. Still might go.
>>
>>9003104
I decided not to this year. I really hope they change the date to next's event to Mar/Apr. But I'll hit some smaller cons like Afo but my next big con is Awa.
>>
>>9005954
Same. The only reason I'm not going this year is because it's on memorial day weekend. Terrible traffic, drunk drivers, high hotel prices...All added on top of Megacon being insanely expensive already. No thanks.
>>
>>9005641
>>9005605
Hey, it falls on my birthday this year.

Anyone got any extra hotel space?
>>
>>9005726
Can't wait to get one of these. My old one from years ago is covered in brown spots and dying

>What days are you going?
Just Sunday
>What events are you doing?
I actually don't have any plans for events, I usually just like to take photos and browse the dealers room at Mega
>What costumes/what days?
Me and my bf are doing Naoto and Kanji from P4 and both costumes are maybe like halfway done lol
>Biggest relief/Biggest gripe
I really dislike how big and expensive Mega has gotten lately. I wasn't even planning on going this year at first but look at me now
>>
>What days?
Hopefully all 4, but only buying tickets for 1. Maaaybe 2.

>Staying?
Rosen Centre again. That Skybridge yo.

>Cosplaying?
Soul Calibur, Danbo, DC, Okamisan, menhera coords at night. Too many. Some are just to meet celebs tho.

>Events?
Taking advantage of the Kevin Smith/Jay Mewes photop cause those fags never do them. DC group shoot cause it's always a blast. Pub crawl on I Drive.

>Ragrets? Relief?
My hotel room isn't stuffed, so that'll be nice, but it means I'll be on the look out for parties.
>>
>>9006017
In terms of the hotels or anyone renting?
>>
>>9006056
>menhera coords

Oooo neat! I hope I see you!
>>
>>9006059

Is anyone going to Florida Fandomania?
>>
Anyone make it to Outcon? They said they had 1000 attendees.
>>
>>9007838
I had a table there.

It certainly felt busy because the artist alley tables were in that long hallway when you first get off the escalator at the MACC.

One major problem was that the panel rooms were off to the side and not clearly labeled with a "PANELS THIS WAY" kinda thing.
>>
Yay, wristbands arrived today. Did a group order with some friends, definitely worth it.
>>
>>9007838
For a first year con it certainly wasn't that bad, I had fun
>>
>>9008676
What do you think the main reason you had fun was?
>>
>>9007322
Ill be there representing for /cgl/ and /m/ in my Gundam MK-II

Might be the last time I take it out as its two years old now and my new suits are coming online.
>>
>>9008870
why don´t go all overboard setting your minovsky reactor to selfdestruct at the stage?
>>
>>9008878
I'm keeping it around for at least a bit longer. A friend is building a Titans Mk-II suit and I want to ado at least one show & photo-shoot with both suits together before I retire and possibly sell the suit.
>>
>>9007322
Yup! Playing a show there.
>>
>>9009321
What do you play?
>>
>>9007322
Yeah I'm with a podcast that got invited to do panels.
>>
>>9009714
I'm a guitarist/singer. I do songs based off comics, video games, Magic, etc. I've played a shitton of other Florida cons before.
>>
>>9009912
Hi Eric. See you at Mizu. :)
>>
>>9010229
Why are people still supporting this shitty con wtf
>>
>>9010247
I agree in previous years it hasn't been that good but it's improving. and if that means I like shitty cons and so be it. I have fun.
>>
>>9010259
I love small cons and all but stuff like this is why they get away with having a hentai panel in a glass panel room and treating their volunteers/guests like crap. I'm saving my money for holiday matsuri.
>>
>>9010311
That hasn't happened in a long time, lol. And I was a volunteer last year and had no issues at all. new staff
>>
>>9010317
Really? I was a volunteer too. Which department, if you don't mind answering?
Idk, it's all still apparently owned by the same person and I've had more than enough terrible experiences. To each their own, I guess.
>>
>>9010330
I was helping the panel director. Also apparently the old chair realized he was fucking up so bad and decided to let someone else take over this year, one of the old staff, not sure which. Too bad I guess, I'll let you know how tihs year is.
>>
So how come there aren't any decent cons in Jacksonville? There's a big nerd population there but the two (?) cons they have are pretty lame from my experience.
>>
>>9010373
Because Jacksonville is a shithole
>>
>>9010373
Because Jacksonville is not the destination. You pass through it to go to the real cons. Fuck Jax.
>>
>>9010247
Because the con is actually changing and none of the old shitty staff which caused a bunch of problems in 2014 are there anymore. There's a new con chair, new staff, and surprisingly when I went last year it actually was better run which was weird to see
>>
>>9010652
That's what I don't understand about this fucking community. Someone comes along and tries to save a con and the community comes along and shits on them instead of at least somewhat supporting them. It's stupid.
>>
>>9010373
Jacksonville is like Florida's Detroit. You don't stop there and you only drive through it if you're forced to.

Nothing particular. I'll be stuck at the Planet Xeeni booth for a good majority of the weekend. I was going to be running an Osomatsu meetup/shoot on Friday but there wasn't enough interest so I dropped it.

Extended Stay America, the North one.

Yo for real people, complain about something being shitty and when someone listens and tries to show them Yo you guys matter people still get mad. I'm going to go back to Mizu this year because I want to see this con be as good as it was before especially with there being less cons in our area now because fuck that drive to Lauderdale
>>
>>9007322
I don't understand why everyone is reviewing the con on Facebook 5 stars before it has even happened yet. That's the complete opposite of how the system is supposed to work. Also, most of the people who left the reviews are guests/staff. It seems real fishy to me.

There is new staff, yes, but a few of the old staff is there, and the same asshole that basically made the convention terrible for me is still the one getting all the money for it.
con chair =/= person who owns the con
It's wonderful that they're trying to fix it, but the same people are getting the money and I don't want to support that.
If you want to go, good for you.
>>
>>9011346
lol I don't think they be making money right now but i get what you saying. Like you said good for you.
>>
Surprised that none of you are discussing the metrocon layout yet.
>>
>>9011869
I've been worrying about this for months. Artists and Vendors knew about this change since about November, yet the con owners made no mention publicly on their fan pages about badge-only access. They instead flooded their social media with the mascot contests, and ignored my comments to make this info public. Now that they have their hotel blocks filled, they release the info...
>>
>>9011875
I'm just reading it all on facebook highly amused. I thought about attending this year for even one day just to say hi to a few friends, but honestly so many people are canceling going.
>>
>>9011875
Ya this was a super dick move on their part. I feel they waited this long wanting to fill their hotel quotas first and then went surprise fuck you all. I was already on the fence about Metro and this seals it for me, nope
>>
>>9011346
What happened to you?
>>
>>9011869
Metro is so shitty now
>>
>>9008882
For future note, about how much do you sell your suits for? I remember you sold one or two before but I'm completely blanking on how much they went for.

different versions of homura meguca, and male ranma if im gonna party.

getting my shit done on time and actually taking my time with this cosplay. plus last time i had a horrible time but now im going with great friends!

Also, for anyone that's interested im hosting a /cgl/ meet up group for florida cons on fb so we can get this gay shit organized. idk if there is one but if you want to join please let me know so we can meet up and fuck shit up.
>>
The metrocon facebook group has me in tears laughing right now. So much butthurt about having to buy tickets. Yeah, Metro is shitty, but if they expanded the badge check area, just do what everyone else does and just have two people in your group buy a badge, send them in, and have one person bring out the next, copy and repeat until everyone gets in. It's like people have never tried to dodge paying before. You work around it, you don't demand the con let you in for free.
>>
>>9012222
It's just people mad about how it'll be more expensive for teens and families and will drive down attendance or something. I can see the point they're trying to make but it is also entertaining to see just how upset so many people are. I have to say though as an artist I LOVED having the alley in that open free space and I know I wouldn't have made nearly as much money as I did last year if I was behind a paywall in the dealer's room.
>>
>>9011986
Email me or ask me on FB messenger @Uberscosplay for that. Sorry but /cgl/ isn't the best place to talk turkey.

Its more about need for space than anything when I sell. I don't really like to sell them as I get pretty attached.
>>
>>9011323
There are nice parts of Jacksonville just like every other city. Don't listen to just poorfags.
>>
>>9012247
You mean I don't have to put up with axe soaked tards in bad Undertale closet cosplay taking up chairs in the lounge areas?
Christmas has come early!
>>
>>9012281
Yeah if anything I'm kinda excited not to have to deal with a bunch of teens. Makes me regret that I can only go one day this year
>>
Metro cast member here.

Shit is hilarious. The butthurt is fantastic. I hope people try to "protest" like some have been suggesting.

It's really not that hard to save money for a badge if you're aren't a fucking moron.
>>
>>9012336
Hi Ben
>>
>>9012340
Ben isn't cast which is great because he's kinda a fucking dumbass.

His boner for the mascots despite being a giant pain in the ass to the people playing them for the con is cringe-worthy.
>>
>>9012342
Yeeeah, 'cause anybody actually cares about the mascots anymore. The designs this year are utter shit.
>>
So a certain Tampa-St. Petersburg con owner is whining on social media about how depressed he thinks he is and lamenting how people he thought were friends or trustworthy turned out not to be. Remember some of your actions from 2011-2014 or so? Karma, buddy.
>>
>>9012450
But he traded his baby-momma for a hip young thing! How could he POSSIBLY be sad?
>>
Why is everyone so angry about having to pay for a pass? All Im getting from the FB page right now is "How dare you make us actually pay for an event that takes months and dozens of people to organize", and that's pretty fucking shitty if you ask me. If you dont want to pay the $80, then dont get a weekend pass? Or maybe save up your money? Like how is this different from any other con?

If you dont want to pay the full price next year, get a badge early, fucks sake.
>>
>>9006504
Hmm, no one? Shame, I was hoping to go. Maybe there's a motel nearby, I suppose the nearby places are all sold out.
>>
>>9012763
You could try airbnb? Downtown is very close and there seem to be a lot of apartments and other residences within walking distance, or atleast uber distance if you dont want to deal with the heat, so Im sure there are plenty of places to stay through them.
>>
>>9012692
I wish I could get a two day pass but for thurday and friday. I can only go then but then it makes it really expensive to buy both days, there should be a two day week pass that's less than the weekend pass.
>>
>>EnvyUs is a guest

Nope.jpg
>>
>>9012836
jfc that bitch is still relevant? Top kek
>>
>>9012692
This Is the shit people are mad about that with only two months notice with the tickets being at the highest price is when the convention drops the bomb about the badges instead of announcing it early so people could purchase them when they were at a lower rate. Con has known about this shit since at least January but now is when they dropped the bomb that is what people are pissed about too
>>
>>9012336
You make Metro look even better by coming in here and flaunting that you're a cast member and wanting to give your opinion about the butt hurt people you sound like an asshole
>>
>>9012874
I'm pretty sure I remember this being announced a while ago? Im not sure if it was in an email maybe, or on the FB page, but I remember hearing about this months ago. I agree, it may have not been so widely advertised as it could have been, but I remember not being worried about it because I already had my pass.
>>
>>9012874
Same anon as above here, and yeah, they announced this months ago, right on the front page of their website. It's still there, too, if you just scroll down, so I really dont see any excuse.

That moment when you realize how shitty a shitty con really is. Metro has been overpriced suck for years now. Saving my money for Matsuri.

If I really wanted to go to this shithole I'd just walk in through the fire exit again. Metro security is more interested in looking cool in their kilts and harassing people than doing any work.
>>
Anyone know if there's a lolita meetup for mega?
>>
>>9012876
Here's the reply you wanted.

I'll be an asshole to freeloaders who want to take, take, and take while giving nothing back.

>>9013322
And this is why Metrocon is getting a shitty reputation. Keep up the good work! You do the gear proud!
>>
>>9013053
>Metro security is more interested in looking cool in their kilts and harassing people than doing any work.
Fucking this they are intimidating assholes who think con security is akin to being a bouncer. They didn't make me feel safe they made me feel like they would just scowl at me or laugh if I had a serious problem.
>>
To be honest the only reason the metrocon situation makes me angry is because the prices are crazy for a con that has literally had the same guest list for years. I don't care about Parle or Scott McNeil or Pikabellchu (how is she still a guest at cons??). I'm going to save my money for another convention instead.

Friday: Shinoa/Mikaela
Sat: Jessie/Shauna (Sana)/Touko, leaning towards being a villain potentially.

I've been playing wow and not sewing anything new, likely skipping costume contests until AFO.

>Biggest relief/Biggest gripe: Megacon badge prices, idk if buying, but will be hanging out. Relief: Cost sharing with the locals, our room cost is $70 a head, 3 nights, yes.

Undecided if I will drive up in my own car, since I want to shoot also, also other girl has been complaining on FB I am spoiling game of thrones despite my labeling spoilers. Megacon is good to hang out, not sure why the passes got so crazy expensive. They seem to think it's Dragoncon.

Non poorfag here. Jacksonville is a shitty town with nothing to do.

Word of warning to all non-Central Florida peeps coming. This date range in Orlando I-Drive is absolutely atrocious. No lie as a resident attending I seriously recommend if you are walking outside the convention to buddy up. Do not go anywhere alone. This is the second worse period of time for criminal activity in the year. Hotels further down I-Drive usually hire off duty cops it's that bad. Please for the love of god do not walk alone to the bars. Especially in costume. No lie.

Thanks for this anon. Orlando is great but there are some seriously unsafe areas and going around iDrive this time of year in costume alone (especially Lolita) is just asking for trouble.

Unfortunately I work a full time job with occasionally 50+hrs a week so I don't have time to go hangout at comic book shops and nerd havens anymore to meet people. Megacon is about the only place I can make time to go be in my element.

Mascots are a seperate thing from the shows, they are basically shillers that go around trying to get people interested in going to Metro. They're gonna be at Mega this weekend advertising.

>>9020533
Looks like RJ. He ditched Metro to go be a stuntman in LA. Though I doubt that will go anywhere.
>>
>>9021250
We are setting up Thurs morning instead since it's a late 2pm entry day.

Typical Metro party. Get girls drunk then get body shots and blow jobs. And yeah a lot of people have left because of the bullshit. Even Nick's wife is in on it.
>>
See, I really wasn't gonna go, then I realized that fucking FRANK MILLER was gonna be there.

Fuck. Anyone know a good comic book store in Miami? Need to pick up a copy of TDKR soon.

And it looks like it's airbnb for now.

So is there a cgl meet up yet?
Also really feeling that con crunch like holy
>>
>>9021441
Friday 7pm by the dealer's room
>>
Con crunch due to stupidity and family shit got me probably skipping thursday. I would say "yay only need 3 day ticket" but 3 seperate days are more expensive than all 4 rip.

Also who's ready to lobbycon the random halls beyond mega? And is the construction over at occc done? The food court?
>>
Can someone confirm the floor plans for Mega?

My feed is blowing up into the Metro badge drama 2.0, Megacon Edition. Now with more bitching.

Hallconners on suicide watch.

I'm more so pissed that the con announced this the day before, most likely all for the money. I could have saved an extra $40 (mine and husband's ticket) on food and whatnot if they posted this policy when ticket prices were announced.

Someone fucking leak the ticket badge already, fuck this new last minute policy

Saturday only

Not sure; first-timer, so gonna explore everything

Local, so commuting

Fuck St. Augustine. It may look pretty if you're visiting but it's not a good place to live for a long time unless you're old and retired, or a lazy surfer. I've been living here for over a decade and there's nothing to do, the tourists are taking over, locals are getting shafted, rents are shooting through the roof, the local businesses screw over their employees, meth labs are getting busted far too often for a town of this size, and every job is a dead-end. Everyone I know who has moved here has somehow turned into a person with no ambition. It's like the city just sucks it right out of them after a few months.
It's a lovely place to visit, don't get me wrong, but do not live here. I'm moving to a decent area of Jax soon and I sure as hell will be happy to have good food around and actual things to do. St. Augustine doesn't even have a real comic shop and good bands only come to the Amphitheatre once in a blue moon.

You can pick up a copy of TDKR from any bookstore that carries comics, just go to whatever Barnes and Noble/Books-A-Million/etc is closest to you and there's a 95% chance they'll have it.

Does anyone know any info on how much autograph prices will be for Ryo Horikawa & Collen Clinkenbeard? Megacon's page has still not updated on their pricing.

And if anyone has visited Adam Hughes, can you please share if he's doing commisions or selling anything?

Monica is $25 for autographs, that includes the stuff at her table and personal items.

>>9025476
Cool, thanks man. How about Horikawa, Clinkenbeard, or Marchi?
>>
>>9025491
I didn't see any of their signs, but I imagine that Clinkenbeard and Marchi have similar prices. As for Horikawa, I'd imagine he's a bit pricier, being a special guest and all.
>>
>>9025493
Ah, ok. Thanks man. I only wanted to get autographs from Clinkenbeard and Horikawa, since I brought things for them to sign. I was only going to get Marchi, Rial, & Sabat autos if I managed to smooth-talk my way into one. I just hope Horikawa isn't celebrity price. If he's Conroy's price range, I can handle that. Anything other than that and it's pushing.
