My plan is to hang with someone who is clearly NOT the OP of this thread

>>10938315>Are you going?Yeah!>Do you have a hotel?I have lodging.>What's your cosplay lineup DQ3.>Stories from Kumoricons pastI missed the con rave because I assumed it went later than midnight.>General Kumoricon discussion (good places to grab a bite near the con, party plans, things you’re excited for etc)There's not many food options within walking distance of the con center, huh?

>>10938417Added it to my Portland map, thanks!
>>10938415Metropolitan Tavern is a rooftop restaurant at a hotel across the street, pretty cool views if the weather is clear.
NANO just confirmed for a music guest! Loved her at Otakon a few years back. I was starting to worry being a month out with no big music or industry guests. Hopefully this is a start to them making more announcements.
>>10938417>That nameSasuga...
bump
>>10938425Hopefully this year I won't miss Teddyloid.
>>10938425>>10939148Links to their stuff?
>>10938417Seconding this place
>>10939151If you mean Teddyloid, he did P&S OST:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-56x7std2pUIf you mean Kumo guests:https://www.kumoricon.org/musical-guests
>>10939148Did he somewhere confirm he's attending?
>>10938315add me if u want friends to chill with during the con I will be going to the raves on both daysM/20/USAbeautyfoundindisarray
>>10939716where? Discord?
>>10939788yes discord, my bad for not clarifying thatalso im looking for people around my age plz dont be 24 or over
>>10938315if only i lived in the U.S. ;-;
>>10938315>Are you going?Yup.>Do you have a hotel?Staying at Eastlund again, come by if you want to drink. I went home with a surplus of alcohol last year.>What's your cosplay lineupN/A >Stories from Kumoricons pastThis is only #2 for me and I learned Kumo is about as much of a party con as Sak.>General Kumoricon discussion (good places to grab a bite near the con, party plans, things you’re excited for etc)Zero plans, haven't even looked at the guest list. Last year we went to a kickass hole in the wall Chinese place but unfortunately I can't remember the name or specifically where it was. All I can tell you is it was about a 30-minuite walk from the con center. Can also vouch for Metropolitan Tavern. It's on the pricey side but the food is solid.
Looks like the schedule is out despite no announcement yethttps://www.kumoricon.org/events
This is a new spot for registration, right? Hope this doesn't cut the market space too much
>>10940010>All day karaokeBased. Rare. Biblical. MAJESTICAL. If it's Youtube / official instrumentals instead of MIDI crap, they've earned my undying gratitude

Looks like it will be raining the whole weekend...
>>10940452It's November in Portland, what were you honestly expecting?
>>10940458It's currently sunny until Thursday, not like we don't get breaks from the rain
>>10938315I've lived here for years but am always out of town when this happens reeee. >>10938415>walking distanceIt's right next to a MAX station, which can throw you over the bridge to better dining/entertainment options in like 10 minutes. It's $2.80 for 2.5 hours or $5.60 for a day pass and you can get it on your phone (Hop Fastpass). Taking the green line to Ground Kontrol puts you around some good stuff.
>>10938315>>Are you going?yeah!>>Do you have a hotel?yup>>What's your cosplay lineupno cosplay, just attending>>Stories from Kumoricons pastmy first time>>General Kumoricon discussion (good places to grab a bite near the con, party plans, things you’re excited for etc)i'm part of the staff for kumo2024! i'm pretty stoked to be involvedas for food, like the other anon said, max access is great and it's downtown PDX so there's shitloads to do.
>>10940723hahahah why would you join the staff imagine doing that for free
>>10940772i got to help out, meet people, get outta my comfort zone, and i get free membership to the con + way cheaper hotel :D
Who else is gonna audition for the karaoke contest tomorrow? I'm super excited. Catch me singing Kakusei Heroism.
>>10940774Didn't know this was a thing but it looks like I'll be joining now! The song depends on how picky their mc is
>>10940723>no cosplay, just attendingGAY

>>10940853>>10940854Last year we couldn't find anyone to party and wound up going home with a surplus of booze. Please come drink ours.
>>10940855I spend 99% of the time in the model lounge if you want to extend an invite..

>>10940866Is this real chat?
>>10940883You yell me. (The RTIC cooler has a small keg in it and the room fridge is also full of beer.)
>>10940884Tell*. Also we have half a bottle of vodka left.
>>10940882Well fug how was I supposed to know :(

They accidentally gave me a weekend pass instead of a day pass. let's go!!
>>10940947Ebin
>>10940876 I botched my prep and didn't get to try out :/ I sang on open mic later on.
>go to kumoricon only on sunday every year cause of work>make no effort to talk to anyone and no one will interact cause i do not cosplay>go home and bitch about how people dont talk to solo people
>go to a couple dance parties/raves>Dont get why people are dancing, feel awkward as hell>Go to dance party last night drunk as hell, start having fun and music gets betterI get it now
>>10940953aren't you afraid of people taking advantage of you when you are drunk though? i read a lot about bad things happening
>>10940954Its obviously a guy bro
>>10940956well still for men and women
>>10940951I cosplayed for the first time yesterday. I had someone come up and ask for a photo and they were super excited.It made my day :3
>>10940957As the other poster sussed out I'm an ugly moid but there is some risk prevention you can take like only drinking your own booze, having a tolerance and the hardest part is having a trusted friend nearby.
>>10940958fuck you
>>10940960Fuck you bro. Don't worry about him m'lady.
>>10940961why bother you are not gonna get pussy mind your business
>>10940960Lmao, crab in a bucket behavior. Go out and have fun sometimes.
>>10940906>>10940909>>10940910Seems there were two /cgl/ parties last night. Can we link up tonight? I'm in HyattI will get the Bocchi vendors to hang if you do this. Even if I have to get help, I will make it happen

>>10940965email me at redmitton@gmail.com
>>10940958Happy 4 u bro
Aw man, forgot to post this morning but if anybody saw a Porco Rosso that was me. Now I'm just sitting here looking like a dork with a camera waiting for the cosplay contest. >900 second rare limit on mobile internet. Fucking Portland.
>>10940964The Eastlund room is tiny. If your Hyatt room is bigger than a closet we can load up our booze and truck it over.
>>10940975Alternatively if you just want free alcohol just come to room 406 at the Eastlund and we'll just hand you beers and half-full bottles of rum and vodka. I don't want to take this shit home.
>>10940977just give it to the homeless outside?
>>10940977I might actually take you up on that.
>>10940979Bring a backpack.
If you're gonna be at the dance party and need glow stick just ask heavy weapons guy I bought too many
>>10940972How was the contest? Any good costumes?
>>10940975>>10940977I'm trying to recruit for room party and went to eastlund but couldn't get to room because key cardWe'll be outside the Eastlund main entrance at 10. Guy in red hat & girl in pigtails
>>10940977>>10940985do hotels even allow non guests to roam their rooms?
>>10940985I'll be waiting in the lobby when you come back.>>10940986Depends. Seattle and Portland? Hell no. Areas with less homeless people usually have unlocked elevators.
>>10940977You still giving them out? Kinda just wanna say hi to a couple of anons
>>10940988Yup. I'm down in the Eastlund lobby right now waiting for >>10940985.
>>10940989TOh we're in the hyatt right now. Is the eastland possibly in it?
>>10940990It's the hotel across the street my dude.
>>10940989I plopped onto a bench outside, just in case there is a party after all, but I will also drink your liquor if you have excess.
>>10940992Also I am a different anon>>10940989
>>10940992>>10940993On my way down.
>>10940995Gimme a minute I walked away coming back
>>10940995>>10940996Back. Wearing headphones
>>10940997Are you at the Hyatt or Eastlund? I see zero headphone-wearers. Black/white flannel shirt, currnlently in the Eastlund lobby.
>>10940998Eastland. Outside on a bench
>>10940999(me)>>10940998Fun party :D
If anyone in the Hyatt party room is still around one of our guys left a cooler in there.
>>10940984I thought so. I'll get some photos uploaded when I get home tomorrow night. Hotel internet is just way too shit for uploading dick.
>go to hoyoshit meetup >still dont have the balls to speak to anyone there
Blind cunt here. Many thanks for the company and the booze. Went way outta my comfort zone and y'all made it worthwhile. Headed homeward now. Hope to see you again next Kumo
you fags said karaoke was gonna be good but when i went there on sunday there was no one?
>>10941052did you come to the room party at Hyatt Regency?Wait, how are you reading this
>>10941093nah i didn't make it to that one. saturday night, right?>Wait, how are you reading thisi have trained a parrot to read 4chan posts. his name is Font Size
Guy cosplaying as Harry/the OP here. Thanks to all the seagulls who came out to party :)
>>10941098Thank you, Harry. ( And iiiii helped :^) )
>>10941054It WAS good, obviously you didn't come when I performed then. Which was like 6 times
anybody got good video footage of kumo2024?
is anyone in Portland ready for kisuucon?
>go to facebook group for kumoricon >see people's pics of them enjoying themselves>slowly get angry
>>10941143please don't feel that way, anon
>go to kumo for the first time ever>didn't know what to do at all>didn't know anyone at the con besides my random old coworker >went to hyatt meetup >pic unrelated but related>gonna keep coming back nowthanks Harry for the fun party. also whats the kumo cgl discord everyone was talking about?
>>10941175and eastlund too of course :)
>>10941167everytime i go go kumoricon or any local con i get jealous of people meeting new people easily
>>10941191trust me, anon. it isn't easy for most of us. it takes a lot to meet randos, and you'll be successful at it eventually. you just need to build some confidence. booze helps lole
>>10941191Do what I always do: Acquire an excessive amount of alcohol and advertise that you have an excessive amount of alcohol. Got me two room parties.
>>10941212booze definitely helps, just don't overdo it.paid the price there, but it was worth it :) that lap could fix me
>>10941254But you can't fix that lap. Nobody can.
>>10941212>>10941217what if i dont drink though?
>>10941312then you have to raw dog your way into confidence. i don't envy you that task. i'm certainly no good at it, but you can be
>>10941131First I'm hearing of it. I might go.
>>10941098Hey Mr DuBois, some friendly advice if I may? A revised section in your *article* that tells spergs to drop their pretenses about feeling superior than "normalfags" or that dropping the "Can't do it" attitude is step 1 2 and 3
