>>10939760that's how it works in Japan. You need to keep doing regular acts with the same people to form a bond and relationship. that's the point of homework cheki, do you even know what that is?that's how many local music scenes work. it's a lot of the same people over and over again because familiarity and community. I'm begging you all to explore social events and music gatherings outside of cons.Yes a lineup with some different people would be nice as long as the quality is good. and the repeat performers should bring something a little different each time.
>>10939786You're wrong. You're expecting yhe same people to keep showing up when in fact not every one will make it to each show because of work/other commitments. plus, people from outside the community may be curious and attend a show after seeing it happrn so often. "hey i keep seeing these people around, maybe they're worth checking out." and YES they should want to perform more. these opportunities should be given to those who actually do WANT to perform and get their name out there. it shouldnt be given to hobbyists or people just in it ti make friends with minimal passion for original music and performance.
>>10939760I'll take monthly events with performers who are at least consistent and trying to improve over 2-4 large festival shows per year with groups of varying quality half of whom I may never see again. Give me a chance to learn when I should cheer or call your name during your song and I'll say it a little louder every month. If I have to wait a year to see you again I'll forget whatever your call and response is.
>>10939790Sure, it works in Japan, but whether it would be successful in America is another story. Will Kaigai Idols bring a consistent audience with regular stand-alone events? And what about funding for it? Can they cover the venue costs and pay the performers too?
>>10939874Well that's for them to figure out and take that chance to do be trailblazers in their area.
I'm a near-complete beginner to con culture and the "scene" due to zero exposure to it until recently and I have too many questions swimming around in my head that I need to ask. I've only been to a couple of small ones in my mostly-desolate area and I want to step up to traveling to bigger ones but I'm overwhelmed. Please bear with me.>Do a majority of congoers cosplay? I know it's common, but is it seen as a faux pas to not cosplay?>Likewise, is it seen as a faux pas to wear the same cosplay more than once in a multi-day event, or to not wear it some days?>I've read a lot on this board about "after hours" events and parties that aren't scheduled by the con staff. Do you have to get invited to things like that, or how do people find out about them?>Do cons that don't have a stated sub-demographic (ones that use terms like "fandom" or "pop culture" instead of specifically "fantasy" or "otaku" or something) tend to accept all demographics? Would you be looked at weird for going to something more "western" like SDCC in an anime cosplay, or would you expect to see a lot of them? >Why do some huge cons like Colossal and Dragon seem to place such significance on getting a hotel room onsite as opposed to just being nearby? Surely not just traffic, right?>What's a "gull"? >How do you not get sick every time you go to one? >How do you keep track of scheduling for multiple cons across multiple years? Do you get notified about them? When is "con season"?>If you're partying, how do you deal with inevitable hangovers or crashes?And some more personal questions>If you cosplay, what's normally your budget? Both in terms of time and money. >How do you make friends at a con if you're not going with a group?>How many cons do you go to yearly or on a recurring basis? There are a fuckton I want to see but I'm not sure if my expectations are unreasonable.Thank you for your time.
>>10907375So I'm going to my first con in Cosplay soon-ish, I only have one cosplay.Should I cosplay only for one day, or reusing the same cosplay for two days is good too?Also, as a man, is it good to use a little of foundation makeup to hide scars or physical imperfection? Is there a good tutorial for this?Should I put the makeup before going to the con or when I'm on site?
>>10937701Reuse the cosplay, unless you want to have a rest day to buy things or it'd be inconvenient to change after the con when leaving (no hotel room etc)Use YouTube for some basic foundation tutorials, usually it's better to put it in when/after you get into your costume so you don't accidentally smear or ruin it. Doing it at your hotel room is more convenient than a convention restroom.
>>10908808How the fuck do we even get invited to con parties? Its nothing but cliques that make me empathize with incels.
>>10937878Be cool, be yourself. It's the standard advice for a reason, and it's not as hard as it sounds. Especially given the setting. "Be cool" - have some drinks on hand already, reference an obscure series that somebody likes, keep a positive outlook. "Be yourself" - avoid second guessing and make sure it's sincere. Oh and also give people the impression you're interested. Stand users attract other stand users>Its nothing but cliquesDepends on where you're at but not necessarily
>>10929531the hot guys doso not you
Who should I cosplay? I went to a con as Osamu Dazai from Bungo Stray Dogs. Who should I cosplay at my next con?
damn youre cute
>>10935053Are you a boy or girl. I can't tell with this gen. You don't look like anyone. So you could be everyone. Any masked cosplay would do you great. If no mask then I'd say something small framed. Maybe some genshin impact. Or like moxie from helluva boss.

Guys, how old is too old?Like, I am an oldfag in his mid 40s. Used to be very involved in the con scene back in the 90s and early 00s. I am currently on a very nostalgic mood about those days of yore, and planning to visit a few of the big cons to see how's the fandom nowadays. Would I be, as you youngsters say, cringe? Worse, would other congoers immediately assume I am a creepy pedophile? I don't really want to ruin some kids con experience like that.Two things, I would be attending alone because the few con buddies from back then that I still keep in contact, are too jaded and busy to give a shit. Also, I am considering if it is a good idea to go cosplaying as an old timer character.
>>10906476I've seen an elderly woman cosplay Muriel from Courage the Cowardly Dog, you tell me.

>>10935117the subreddit is full of idiots that are incapable of using google, but it is inoffensive because it's all about clothes. 90% of people on that subreddit can't dress (the ones that can dress know they look better than the other girls so they post for engagement), but it's better than the twitter community. the twitter community is a cesspit full of teenagers that don't post coords and think that having destructive tendencies makes them real jirai girls KEK>>10936383it was associated with the runaway toyoko kids that hung around kabukicho but it's more of a fashion style now. a lot of girls who are interested in underground idols/visual kei music dress in the fashion
>>10937466This reply made my day, it's too accurate
>>10933810My outift, no idea if its jirai kei enough or even considered jirai kei but the skirt was from rojita

Youmacon announces a new chairman 2 months before their venue-less convention is supposed to start.Morgan is vaguely 'still involved' (meaning still owning and collecting profits). No word on his vice chair who co-founded Youmacon with him 20 years ago.What do we make of this? Are we being scammed?
>>10937290CGL is largely dead as every con basically has it's own discord now where you can often get instant answers to questions and avoid the BS drama this place so desperately trying to ignite. Like looking back at midwest threads it's fairly easy to see why this place isn't popular with the normies anymore. Like seriously what would you take of the two>thread on con>Random he/she said, BS you have no way to validate>any con questions largely being unanswered or at best told the obvious 'go look on the website/twitter'>GUYS DON'T GO TO THE CON THE OWNER IS LITERALLY THE WORST PERSON ON THE PLANET DON'T ASK HOW I KNOW I HEARD IT SOMEWHERE!>shitthatotallyhappened.txt>meetups are 50% troons and 50% totally the 'not gays' mid 20 to 30 year old dudes>vagueposting>wow I hated this and all of you! ... see you next yearor>Con run discordComment too long.

So what's the actual word on games? The page on their website only mentions the fighting game tournaments.
>>10938414
>>10939108No gundam dis yr, not interested
>>10939123honestly the Gundam VS. game was fun while it lasted at the con. It was team based but it took a bit to get used to the controls. I usually just fought off one opponent while my teammate did the same thing. Sometimes me or my teammate would intervene with my opponent when I was at low health. Hell, sometimes my teammates were cosplaying some of the characters from the franchise.
I know its a bit of a long-shot, but is anyone on here attending? What is your favorite thing about this convention?

>>10939394Picture unrelated?
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?
>Have you done it before?This was the only time>Where did you find people to split the room with?Discord>Were they strangers?We were all part of the same, smallish fandom so we'd run into each other a lot online. Pretty much acquaintances, though 2 of them were dating.>What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend?Didn't have any, everyone was pretty respectful>Did any problems arise?The airlines fucked over the couple pretty badly and they didn't get to our room until 4am day of con. Poor bastards, but they had fun.>Would you do it again?I suppose I could. I roomed alone since but I wouldn't mind doing it again as long as everyone is decent.
>>10937638Which discord?
>>10937672It was a discord specifically for people going to Anime Impulse and were part of the fandom.
>Plan to grab 2 bed room suite for yeti con with guys from college anime club>Last minute one the guys invites chubby girl from the club he likes>She doesn't have much money so we let her crash on the couch>Absolute banger of a party first night>Me and the chubby girl start making out and go back to the room I was crashing in>She is on top of me and start to take her clothes off>Guy who invited her gets pissed and barges in the room>We get into a fight>Whoop his ass>Pretty awkward weekend after that>The two end up a couple not too long after con>Later find out that he got the clapYeah dodge a bullet on that one so now I only room with my close friends.
Back when I was at Anime North I got white girl wasted with some girls from school and randoms, they invited me to sleep at their room, like 7 of us in a two bed hotel room. We had to sleep like sardines sideways across the bed thank heaven for the booze or I'd never have gotten rest. Women snore too.The next day I hitched a hotel room with other randoms I met but they didn't know me so I had to sleep on the floor that time. I got no rest that night because everyone else was wasted and up till 4am. Moral of the story book yourself a hotel room 1 year in advance with sober friends.

Gonna do joker 2019 face paint, I’ve had no experience with face paint before, what is a good non irritant brand that won’t get itchy and washes off easy?
>>10936989Can't help with your choice of facepaint but makeup wipes get facepaint off like a treat.
>>10936989>>10936989Former homestuck cosplayer here, I gotchu senpai. Face paint typically comes in two types- water based and oil based. Snazzaroo has a wide range of colours and is water based, and is my usual go-to recommendation. However, because it's water based, you need to seal that fucker. Apply a thin layer, let it dry, then apply another and let that dry, and don't let the cake or your brush get too wet. Seal with a layer of baby powder and then a layer of hairspray (or a good quality makeup sealer, this is advice from a broke ass bitch). Water based is easy to wash off, but that means it's also easy to SWEAT off, so I usually only use it for short periods of time, maybe a con day in the middle of winter (or one with really, really good aircon). Or you could let parts of it sweat off and become flaky and add that to your costume aesthetic, you do youSecond is oil based. I don't have too much experience with it if I'm totally honest, but oxx cosmetics does an excellent face and body paint. I wore a white under layer, used a metric fucktonne of green eyeshadow over the top and used that as my costume base when I went to a shrek rave. I am a sweaty fucker and even in a hot, noisy environment with a lot of drinking and dancing, it didn't really come off. Worst comes to worst, cheapy face paint from the dollar store will work just fine. It's easy enough to wash off with a bit of soap, a good flannel and some elbow grease.And for the love of god, TEST YOUR FACEPAINT beforehand. Take a little bit and put it on your wrist and then wait at least an hour. If it itches, becomes red or swollen or you think you're having a bad reaction to it, DON'T USE IT. Source: This is how I found out I was violently allergic to Global Colours BodyArt and didn't realise until everything from the top of my scalp to my navel was itching like it was on fireGood luck anon!
