colossalcon prime/ kalahari sandusky 'why the fuck are the waterpark passes 48 fucking dollar now' threadcon is in 2 weeks and even though their fucking prices went way the hell up, who still going?
Somewhat of a big Colossalcon update. Found out that MEGA Championship Wrestling has aired a free match from their show at the con on May 29th. This features two wrestlers in cosplay. Detroit local and former Xtreme Intense Championship Wrestling champion Shogun and NWA Exodus Pro wrestler Ashton Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CKJad_Fbi0
to the dude that roomed with me at the con and then added me and gave my phone number to and etc, ghosting me and removing me now that sucks man. i thought we were cool :(
>>10972395Their main page? I'm not seeing any slips there.
Question colossal seagulls: when does the room reservations usually open? Or are they still doing the whole 'reserve sunday morning at the con' thing?
>>10973536Prine room block has gone up in August for the past several years anon
Just wanted to share the cosplays I completed last year
>>10969751I will trust everyhting this person says
She was very sweet, she gave me a hug after we met
>>10969751same, she is absolutely so rude. maybe it's because i met her when she wasn't working at a booth and I'm another cosplayer but it's been years since I met such a stuck-up person.
God I wish they didn't remove IP count
>>10973493boner status?
>be non black person (not white) doing cosplay>high expectations to be accurate with correct wig for contests and photoshoots>be black>no need to use wig or accurate cosplay. it's called ethnic wigs instead
>>10972542Non-American here. What's going to happen?
>>10972550Dreamcon is a pro, majority black convention. Basically, all the niggas of the cosplay community come together in Houston to celebrate cosplay in the american african way as this thread highlights in detail. Karmelo was a black boy who went to a white neighborhood's track meet, went over to another team's tent to taunt them despite not suppose to be at the meet at all, didnt move when the team told him to move repeatedly. So when the team captain, a white boy, came over to move him, Karmelo took out a knife from his book bag and stabbed him to death.He got sentenced for 35 years for murder. The black community is saying it was self defense. Everyone else with common sense see it for what it is. Dreamcon is going to be chanting his name that weekend like the hooligans they are.
>>10972542>>10972550>>10972561Black umamusumers bouta rise up, boy did a Rice Shower "Black Assassin" and will get prison time for it.
This weekend is Dreamcon. Oh boy.
>>10973540And (You) won't be there because (You) don't go to any conventions ever
Anyone going to Otakuthon in a month?

>>10964410I am! Anyone else want to exchange DC before AC? Maybe we could get a group going.
Animecon was fun!It feels like animecon is finally back to its former self. Minus the location. I still miss world forum.They had concerts, special guests, events, lots of food and even a cocktail bar. And Miku!
>>10970161I was worried the stage venue wouldn't be able to handle Coda, but it went surprisingly well! Had a great time.Was fun seeing an IOSYS member live too.Broodfabriek still doesn't really work as a location. It inexplicably manages to both feel too cramped and spacious at the same time. Like the main landing spots for people are too small, and the complete open floorplan of the places like the EXP area and the gaming room just feels overly messy. Noise has been an ongoing issue with all events and lectures because everything is always near something loud. (karaoke, popup stage, and lecture rooms so close to each other is the worst offender)On the other hand, I get the idea they had with the dividers showing art to block off the artist signing area, but it made the entrance to the dealer room feel weirdly cluttered and ugly. Like they'd never finished actually setting it up. But they've struggled with how to divide spaces in that back area since the start. I don't think there's much you can do except move venues againOutside of that, I had a great time.
I also enjoyed Animecon this year.Glad they improved the outside space. In the past years it felt like some lost tents and benches on a parking lot but with the addition of the big parasols and the bar and food court it felt nice to hang out.Also liked how they are giving more space to experimental stuff on the pop up stage. I think some new ideas for new audiences are important to keep Animecon alive right now.The broodfabriek will never be the world forum and we will never go back but I'm starting to come to terms with it now.
>>10961852Any updates? I used to follow them and visited a few times, so I’m curious to know what happened. They seem to be doing fine on social media and actually cleaned up their marketing a bit, so good for them. Still, would love to hear the tea
Films/tv shows that are based on cosplay/con culture or at least reference it in some way.I felt that 2Kawaii4Comfort was (for better or worse) the most accurate description of going to a small con and having a bad time at it. It's a shame it ended on a cliffhanger.
>>10972149What all happened? I wasn't able to go to Momo con this year and was bummed I couldn't see the panel.
>>10863223I'm surprised no one mentioned Fame-ish yet. It was by voice actor Jeff Nimoy (Tentomon, Wolfwood) who felt like he'll always live in the shadow of Leonard Nimoy (to get it out of the way, he doesn't resent him but is tired of the jokes because people found out they're cousins).Someone uploaded the whole thing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqxrwsWHSoY
We got a trailer for the 2Kawaii4Comfort anime! I'm digging the style they decided to go with.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZS14NEutqg
>>10973473>>10970496Got to meet the creator as well as Toki-chan's actor during AX, got my badge signed by them too lol, that was pretty cool.
>>10863227Honestly if this movie didn't have the stupid demon in it and was just about LARPer interpersonal drama I think it would have been a better movie>>10899436Basically like this movie
hihihi /cgl/, just here to get some thoughts down ^-^im waiting for a haruhi cosplay to arrive, but im kinda worried i wont look as cute as the other cosplayers i see on tiktok and elsewhere on the net. im sure this is a common thought, but its a big one nonetheless. i guess it sorta leans into my sense of imposter syndrome - i dont think confidence suits me at all. i think that the second someone looks at me in cosplay theyll know im faking something.when it all arrives i may post some pics here so yall can lmk what u think ^p^any thoughts or similar experiences ?
>>10972276weak ass reply
>>10972323any reason you deleted this post originally and then came back a day later to post the exact same thing?
>>10972098>HarubinKEK! I'm surprised whoever was giving this out did not get sued and raped in court by Kadokawa.
>>10972507If I remember right, it was drawn by schoolchildren who liked Haruhi and was probably not worth their time.
>>10972510Honestly, that's probably why Kadokawa didn't sue. Then again, Japanese entertainment companies go after almost anyone no matter what their age is.
Actually on time editionJuly 3rd-5th 2026Donald E. Stephens convention center, Rosemont IL, USABe there or celebrate Americas 250, you can do both. Also where did CAD go, I am disappointed and have nothing to do in December now.
>>10973310amazing, and people are begging him to go back to the hyatt and he's using the official account to say, "not until they sell to another host!"Looks like it's only gonna get worse cause he's a stubborn retard
>>10973341I've heard that the main reason it left the hyatt is that he got the worst multiyear contract known to man so the hyatt jacked up prices so bad that it was cheaper to pay the early cancellation fees to go somewhere else, can't imagine even if there's another AMW that it's gonna be at the hyatt unless they slash prices
>>10973370He said it's because they "sold to a for profit contractor" or whatever.In reality it's because his cons for 3-5 years have been bleeding money because nobody wants to be associated with a man who may or may not have diddled a 16 year old at a convention.The ONLY 2 interesting guests they've ever had was Quinton Flynn and Carey Means (frylock)2019 was probably the best year for guests, he got Yuri Lowenthal, Steve Blum, and Quinton Flynn.Whether he likes it or not, a good majority of people who go to cons like talking to their favorite voice actors and when you dont get interesting well known VA's for favor of your friends people get bored and stop coming.Last year's AM was also so bad that I didn't really wanna go to this one then the layout got posted which was atrocious.If fucking Magic can afford the Hyatt for magic AND Ink'd, so can that cheap fuck at his biggest flagship con.
>>10973379Where is the 16 year old thing coming from? I thought there was the one where the person didn't do the rape kit and dropped the case and the thing at anime Milwaukee. The only other thing is that he might have hired a prostitute in a different country
>>10973379Yeah but they wouldnt be able to raise the prices like they did if he got a decent multi-year, usually "you can't raise prices beyond X amount" is the entire point of those.
Any good Latex / Vinil / Tight and shiny cosplays?
I like gooning to this, don't know it is cosplay tho

>>10962274
Because why notConnichi is around the corner - September 5 to 7 in Wiesbaden. Anyone going?Tell us about your con visits, your plans for the next months, cosplay struggles and everything else!Not sure where to go next? Consult this handy site which also lists smaller local cons:https://www.jam-cons.net/con-kalender
>>10972549MeHopefully...
>>10973041Do let me know. Ill treat ya or hang out or w/e
>>10973036apparently also a groomer going from their socials, and their ex's reaction
>>10973067As long as I'm stop being lazy in making my cosplay, I will the one cosplaying Gregor EisenhornI also plan on participating in a cosplay-competition
Currently at a small conventionIt's kinda...Lame...
Why is there such a stigma against girls who cosplay for money? As someone who has never had a girlfriend, being able to send money to cute girls who cosplay as the characters that I love is one of the only things in my life that makes me feel like I have a purpose. From patreon to onlyfans, it's on of my biggest joys and motivations in my life. One day I hope I can give money to a cosplayer at a con in real life and not just through the internet.
If they actually cosplay and come have fun at cons? You do you, even if I find it odd.If they just wear a wig and do porn? Fuck off, go get blacked or some shit hoe. My only other issue is if they go to cons explicitly to just get risque pics in the general area for their OF. Go rent a studio, hotel, airbnb, whatever. Why do that shit at a con? People paying to have a good time arent your backdrop and dont consent to it, its awkward as hell having someone find you in the background of some whore's smut.
>>10868287Would 3 let me kiss her feet, tights and nylon gloves for $5 instead? So horny and lonely.
>>10925901Lying gay man
>>10872877Boob grabs would likely fall under prostitution laws. You can't even touch strippers in the US, though you can in French Canada. The jurisprudence carve-out for the kinks is obviously a violation of the spirit of the law.
>>10971052Thats a shame
>Anime Expo registrations opened today>no threadsDead Board? Did you guys manage to book any hotel rooms before they sold out? My friends and I managed to snag 2 at the Westin and 1 at the AC.
>1 thread>no photosded board
>>10973623look above ur post??
>>10973627I stand by what I posted.
>>10973610>no one cares if you have a six pack if your job is underemployed convention booth modelBeauty and finances are separate things. And yes they do in fact care
>>10973504A big part of it is that a more casual-looking cosplay with some humor has a lower barrier to approach and even can be an ice breaker. On July 4th (pre-COVID), I just wore an American flag shirt and sunglasses and got more photos than the prior 5 years of cosplay combined.
Sharing a hotel room at a con:Have you done it before? Where did you find people to split the room with? Were they strangers? What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend? Did any problems arise? Would you do it again?
Autisic thread
>>10941730What server is that?
>>10963113>Everyone except for one guy took turns jacking off in the bathroomi mean where else are they going to do it?
>>10964416On the biscuit
>>10957775heeeyy mythie I hope you're doing well... That fuckass photo I took gives me flashbacks lmao. At least you didn't have two other dudes spooning eachother in that bed with you one night :(Meet people at cons beforehand and figure out if they're chill. Once you find the right people that aren't creeps and pay properly then try rooming with them again.
Does anyone have tips for a Bullseye cosplay? I’m going to buy a dark blue commission shirt gray cargo pants, and some gloves but I don’t know where to get a mask. Also the detailing of the logo on the mask and gloves. If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated
