We're approximately two months out now. Anime Weekend Atlanta is from December 12th, 2024 to December 15th, 2024. The venue has moved from the Cobb Galleria to the Georgia World Congress Center. Who all is attending? Any cool panels being hosted? What will you be cosplaying as?
>decemberhaha fuck that noise
For all the people (girls) virtue signaling about how they're picking AWA over HolMat...I wonder how many will actually follow through. Hmm. Probably not many
>>10938016Atlanta in December is vastly preferable to the scorching wasteland that the city becomes in May for MomoCon.
>>10938018I'm picking HolMat over AWA, and I will follow through!
>>10937937Just got confirmed on one of the panels I'm doing, hoping the other 2 go through as well.
>>10938016Hopefully the cold will keep down the funk on people.>>10938078>I'm picking HolMat over AWAGood, AWA is getting too crowded now.
>>10938018Why would anyone want girls at a con anyway
My first AWA plus my first out of state con by myself. I'll be 33 by then.
I hate the GWCC so goddam much>huge labyrinth with 3 floors>walk an actual mile to get to the center of action >no maps anywhere to point where the fuck you're going>only 2 hotels within reasonable walking distance are like $600 a nightLiterally just a big architectural wank to complement their overpriced stadium
>>10938111It's not so bad once you're used to it. Plus it's fun seeing the fatties have to walk a mile to get to anything.
>>10938078Why holmat over AWA? Without the resort hotel holmat is now a below average con.
>>10938786There are a few reasons. Mainly, its that HolMat is closer and I know more people who are going there. Also, I haven't been to HolMat since 2019 while I've been to AWA every year since 2021. So, it's all stuff independent of the quality of the con.
I just want to meet my long time crush Sylvia. I miss her so much and seeing her at AWA is the only highlight of my life.
How does this compare to dragoncon
>>10939320From someone who was pretty unimpressed after one outing at Momocon and two for AWA, I went into Dragon with tampered expectations. It ended up being my favorite, not just of the year, but ever. Make of this what you will
>>10939320A still present but noticeably lessened party atmosphere, obviously more of an anime focus rather than general nerd culture, events are less spread out. For me the concerts and dances are a big appeal that AWA has over something like Momo.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY HOLOLIVE TICKETS AWA WERE LESS THAN 2 MONTHS OUT
Curious to see if turnout will be affected at all by the change from October to December. It's unfortunate that the con switched locations as soon as AWA actually figured out how to manage the lines.
>>10938089Happy early birthday, Anon.
>>10939320AWA and Momo Con are not the same punching weight as Dragon Con - people fly from across the country to go to Dragon Con. People might, at most, come from across a state or two at absolute most for Anime Weekend Atlanta. It's good but it's not legendary. Dragon Con is known as "the party convention" and like the other Anon said, it's typically geeky and nerdy things in general. If anything, Momo Con is more along the same lines. If you've only time, energy and funds for one, Dragon Con is superior. But AWA is quite enjoyable.
Unsure what I'll be cosplaying if I do but mahjong is pretty cool. Might see if any other seagulls might want to get together for lunch or a drink or the rave like last year. Shoutout to the homie with the cool-ass camera who likes dirigibles if you see this. You and the gang were absolute real ones.
