We're once again approaching the time for AWA. Anyone here going? Any interesting cosplays you're working on? Will there be a /cgl/ meetup? Dates are December 18th through December 21st, 2025, located at the Georgia World Congress Center, Building C.
I'll be there. I will be staying at the Signia.I will be hosting room parties.
>>10963388I'll be there, staying at the omni and co-hosting a panel. I don't really cosplay but I'm always down to hang out and grab some drinks. One day God will provide me with a cosplay gf inshallah.
>>10963512I'll be hosting a panel as well. God willing you will get your cosplay gf this year. Hopefully she isn't a trap.
Anyone coming Thursday? I have drinks to share. Food too if you tell me what you want me to bring beforehand.
>>10963512What's the panel?
ayy lmao
>>10963741Spoiler Alert. Me and a friend usually come up with and submit a bunch stuff, this was one of his. We're gonna talk about how spoilers affect how much you enjoy shows and talk about some good/bad/well known spoilers.
>>10963741Not the same anon but I'll be doing a panel about anime centered around cosplay. Trying to get a little deeper than just the obvious examples but hopefully there'll be some interest for it.
i can't get a hotel :(
>>10963784>>10963808i will reach both your panels
>>10963829Get in tune with the locals and camp out in Centennial Olympic Park
I'll be there all 4 days & will be cosplaying Virtuous Mission & Operation Snake Eater Naked Snake from MGS3, MGS V Biker outfit Big Boss, & Punished "Venom" Chris Chan
>>10964147The fanta on the Chris cosplay is a nice touch. Mix a little of your navy into it and do a little recycling on the vendor floor to truly get into character
>>10964147 holy hell i see you at like almost every con i go too. i always wanted to ask for your insta or xitter but i got shy
Anyone in connection with leadership know if it's going to be as barren last year.I'm still going no matter, would be silly to skip considering I live like 20miles away.I understand it's a new space, but they used like 5% of it...
>>10964307lol, yeah I go to most of the major Southeast cons, especially Atlanta cons. Feel free to come say hi if you spot me!
Both due to the holidays and the fact I'm barely starting a new job I'm not going to awa this year. Me and Pikachu have been around handing out instant photos for awhile now. It's fun and I meet lots of nice people
i really hope theres a meetup that i can go to. i need more friends.
>>10964387Like anon meetup or general con thing? I'm also looking for cosplay frens, I'm from South Florida but might go to AWA.Do you have a burner discord or something so I can add you?
The Signia is great, and even though hall B is bigger, hall C worked last year. I plan on cosplaying at least one day. Usually I attend a lot of interesting panels. Well, it's debatable whether or not they are interesting, but I do check out quite a few.
They must have blown their load getting Hololive last year because all of these vtubers they've been announcing, I've never even heard of.I'll be there, still trying to decide on pulling the trigger on a cosplay I'm thinking about doing. The Galleria mogs the WCC but AWA is still my favorite convention.
>>10964388 anon meetup.ye. its kogaku202
>>10964330Have a friend on staff this year and heard they're planning to make much better use of the space since they've realized how much more real estate they can fuck with now. Don't know how it'll work out but I'll be there regardless because I got nothing else to do.
>>10964388i will host one or morethere will be drinks
>>10964403last time i drank i woke behind a tesco in another town.
>>10964403ok post the time and place here when you get it figured out :-)
>>10964444that's what i'm posting fori hope to see you soon anon
>>10964402Hoping this turns out to be true. I enjoyed last year but it's true that there was a lot of empty space. It was a pretty stark contrast from the Galleria, which at times felt like a cattle call.
Anyone else see that they're running an 18+ Kuma Kuma maid cafe this year? Will be interesting to see the big ole bitches that usually participate in that strip down. This will be a must do for any BBW lovers.
First time going this year. Assuming the party scene and nightlife are awesome. How're artist alley, gaming, and the cosplay scene? Also, best nearby places for booze, including to take back to the hotel?
>>10964728It's only the second year at the current venue so it's all probably still finding solid footing although more solid than last year. I thought the artist ally was fine last year but a few people were ass destroyed about the setup for some reason. Cosplay was great ever since when I started going every year since 2015. That said I liked the old venue way more, but if it's your first time you'll enjoy it well enough.
>>10964728You'll need to venture a couple of blocks out for decently priced liquor but all of the hotels have bars and the Signia has a club add-on for a lounge with unlimited drinks between 5-7 PMEverything in walking distance is expensive so if you want to party as a poorfag you'll need to hit the room parties
>>10964683I will be there
>>10964733Certified big lady enjoyer>>10964728Gaming isn't as good as more gaming centric cons like Momocon but the artist alley and cosplay scene are both awesome at AWA.
>>10964731>Signia has a club add-on for a lounge with unlimited drinks between 5-7 PMWe've done this for AWA last year and Momo earlier this year. Highly recommend. You don't need to worry about food either.
AWA month has finally arrived. I'm tentatively planning a couple of cosplays but nothing concrete yet. What will everyone be going as this year?
>>10963829Go to the Residence Inn nearby, still a lot of rooms open, good prices and not too far of a walk. No need to get hysterical that you don’t have a host hotel, lots of good places nearby, basically the same thing.
>>10964399that probably has as much to do with the time of year as anything else.
