We're just under four months away now.Have you got a room yet, or are you still hunting?Set on your cosplay? How's it coming along?How do you plan on getting there?
>>10911034Sadly I work this year :( but u had a phenomenal time last year and enjoyed meeting new con frens.
>>10911034>are you still hunting?yeah that, i have no fucking idea how to get a room
>>10911509Go on Google maps, click hotels for dates you wanna go, and book.
>>10911539They're sold out m8
>>10911034Got a room in a Hotel close by. Day one: Austin PowersDat two: Jason Vorhees from Part 8Day three: classic tights Punisher Day Four: Lady Jaye (G.I. Joe)Day Five Prince Naveen Both RE photo shoot and parade I will be Joseph Frost from STARS Alpha team. Flying down hopefully United since they got movies you can watch.
>>10911034can someone get stephanie gladden to appear in cons beyond this one? i've got some major art ideas in mind ngl
>>10911034Had a room since I book my shit nearly a year ahead of timeMy 3 are still in the works. Still trying to figure out if I'm doing anything fancy for the bunny hutch this year. I'm a local, so I'm driving down on Wed.
>>10911543You didn't even try
>>10911873Host hotels, anon...
>>10911889Ohhh, you don't wanna walk an extra two min. Sucks to suck I guess. :)
>>10912069I've just been repeatedly told that it's not worth going if you can't get into a host hotel since that's where all the shit actually happens.
>>10912284Well that's just not true. Also if you can't walk a few min to the main hotels you just shouldn't go.Or just don't go. It's whatever to me.
>>10912287Okay I'll trust you and start looking, I think they've got con rates for the Fairfield and I hear the Omni is decent too. This is my first time going so I'm trying to make the most of it, especially because it's both a long drive and pretty expensive. I've had zero luck finding a roomshare even though I'd be happy to sleep on someone's floor, the Facebook group exists but it's slow and it's 90% people looking to swap rooms they already have. I'm very anxious is all.
>>10912290You'll be fine man. I stayed in a hotel last year that was a 5 min Uber ride away. I was only in the room for sleeping, showering, and changing cosplay. Most of the day I was doing laps around the hotels and enjoying life. Just have a backpack with you foer snacks n booze.
>>10912340Oh yeah, Uber's a thing so I don't really have to walk. Thanks anon, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear.I wonder if it's possible to get roomshares at the non-host hotels though, they're still pricey
>>10912341I don't see why not. Just stay on top of it. You'll be fine. Stay hydrated and don't forget to get some rest while there. It's gonna be pretty hectic before the con even officially starts, so enjoy. Keep your eyes out for swag as well. It's everywhere
As someone new to DC, is it just me or are there a lot of retarded old boomers that only have "HAHA IVE BEEN HERE FOR X YEARS" going for them in life?I can make friends pretty easily irl but I feel like there's a bit of unwarranted elitism from a subpopulation at this con. I know it's a 70k+ attendee con so there's some bad apples
>>10912502You sounds pretty cringy and gatekeepy
got a room, but don't know what I'm going to bring. I wanted to do something biiig! but I won't get anything big done in time, so I'm thinking more casual and achievable. I'm leaning towards one piece stuff, I've been obsessed these past 6 months or so. so I can't think of anything I'd rather work on
My buddy has apparently moved in nearby, so it looks like I'm finally gonna make it for this one. I'm finally completing the Atlanta trinity. Feels good man
>>10913246What are the other two? Momo and AWA?
>>10913165As someone who is always glad to see more OP stuff at DC, please don't be another low effort Luffy. The characters change outfits so often that there's a shit ton of cool stuff you can do. It pains me to see someone who just cuts up a pair of jeans, slaps on a red vest and straw hat.
>>10913670Oh look, a gatekeeper. How cringy
>finally got a roomit's floor space but i'm so so excited brosin a host hotel and everything
>Set on your cosplay?got an NCR Ranger vet cosplay I've been saving up for
>>10913544yes exactly
>>10912537>>10913894you are obese.
>>10919351Post yourself
I was actually about to make a post about DragonCon, I have a room, not a host hotel, but it’s only a three minute walk to the con. I have pretty five cosplays ready, just doing some minor touch ups and I should be able to complete everything by mid June. I’ll be there Wednesday - Monday, but I’m pretty much just going to leave Monday morning. This is my tenth year going so I kinda want to live it up, I still have to make ribbons to hand out. I’m going with three of my friends, but we are more than welcome to inviting others to join. I have a discord if anyone wants to just shoot the shit and get to know each other before the Con.
For those hunting, if you don't mind the MARTA, you can probably find cheaper room/spaces right near a marta stop and then it dumps you out right in the middle of the hotels at peachtree station.
I might be going. A couple of friends are very likely to have 2-3 people drop out of staying in the room that they've already paid for. I don't want them to get fucked on money and I haven't been to DragonCon since maybe 2008.
>>10919453what's your discord
>>10919455Keep in mind MARTA stop running like 11:30 or something early and on Saturday there are sporting events which FILLS the MARTA. MARTA is alright if you don't have props or in big cosplay.We try the MARTA first year of DragonCon it fucking SUCKED. After that we just drive in and park at the parking deck next to Sheraton hotel. It has gotten really pricy to park there in recent year through.
This is the con for 60yo swingers, right?
>>10919588It’s pretty chill, really not much going on, but I’m hoping to invite more people for Conshttps://discord.gg/5ZfV48ma
