>>10966884
Das rite. Toying with the idea of a cosplay AGAIN but afraid of low recognition (again)
>>
>>10966897
what cosplays do you plan on doing?
>>
>>10966796
ill be there... but mostly i just use it as an excuse to hang out with friends in seattle and hit up parties. The con itself seems kinda boring.

>>10966895
>>10966979
It'd be either Hanekawa or tracksuit Karen. I saw a lone Yotsugi last year which isn't super encouraging. Better try internalizing the

I should be there too

All this Monogatari talk has got me going. I own a Hachikuji cos and went as her last year so why not again??? Or maybe I'll invest in Nadeko.
>>
>>10967273
>went as her last year
Zamn, I missed you. How many people recognized it?
>>
>>10967308
Only one. It was at Emerald city comicon not Sakura
I thought that cos was of u until my friend pointed out the spanish background;_;
Mine wasn't as good but I'll show it. Mine will be better than last year so no worries.

We suffer, but there's strength in numbers. That pic is actually from Otakuthon in Montreal and the poster there said there was a packed panel. To show how small the pool of Monogatari cosplayers is though, we also mentioned a Shinobu...who I've also seen at Sakura.
>Mine will be better than last year so no worries.
You got this, nonny
>>
>>10967489
last year i saw a hanekawa, nadeko, yotsugi and shinobu but not together
>>
>>10967489
Yeah. My friend mentioned he saw a Shinobu cos last year.
>you got this nanny
Thank you.
I think we should definitely do a Monogatari meet if we have enough people.

Last year there was a Capcom photo shoot at the new con center. When Cheese Cake caught on fire, they moved it to the garden at the old convention center……..closer to the danger.
>>
>>10967563
I never heard about that

>>10967526
>but not together
>>10967529
Yeh that settles it, we gotta make this happen even if its just a fandom meetup. Worth noting too by the way: my last con had Koyomi, Mayoi, Nadeko and Yotsugi together
>>
I'll be there and I want a con gf just for the weekend. We'll play tcg and hold hands.
>>
>>10967581
what tcg do you play?

>>10967578
OK WHOS WHO??? I CALL ARARAGI
>>
>>10967586
I'm gonna be Hachikuji again.
We got Araragi and Hachikuji now the others call it.
>>
>>10967578
Oh cool.
End uo getting any photos???
>>
>>10966796
I just want them to get their shit figured out for the cosplay contest. AFAIK it keeps conflicting with whoever has the main stage in the evening taking the whole afternoon to do a tech rehersal.

>>10967563
I missed to that because my fucking HUNK was in the goddamn hotel room! Didn't cosplay for the whole weekend and just drank at Pine Box with my bro instead.

>>10967582
Digimon, yugioh, pokemon. I want to get some FF tcg decks and maybe gundam. I don't do magic. If you are a cute girl I will teach you.

We will we know eachother we're friends

>>10967586
The jury has deliberated and Nisemono Karen wins. Hanekawa might be closer in the looks department but I'd rather somebody with a unique fit
>>10967618
Yeah but they were pretty shy so maybe best save that for the day of

Monogatari mentioned?
I will have to bring my Hitagi cosplay

Any mtg players going?

Missed sakuracon last year, looking forward to it this year though. Hopefully no major political events happen.
>>
>>10967865
it'd be a shame if there was nobody cosplaying epstein though
>>
I'm reading the idol drama and can't say I really get it. I've never seen more than 2 dozen people in the dance workshops.
>>
>>10967876
its a very niche scene where a lof the people have a superiority complex
>>
I'm still trying to figure who to cosplay as. Also, did anyone go to the rave last year?
>>
>>10967979
i did it was lame, go as a monogatari character if ur into that cause it seems we will be having a meetup
>>
>>10967988
A meet up huh? I guess I'll go as koyomi.
>>
>>10967999

Is that homemade?
>>
>>10968433
Kind of? It’s a blue karate gi I cut the sleeves off of. Red socks I cut out, and a black scarf I use for Luke’s battle over the Scarlacc outfit. The sword is rubber so peace bonding won’t give me shit. The mask is just a blue balaclava. You can’t see it but I have black ninja shoes.

You guys know that huge booth? The one with all the import games, CDs and art books. They were at the last con I went to and somebody (besides me) was buying Mono stuff every time I went by. Perhaps something to keep in mind for later
>>
>>10966796
Is there any good panels/events/meetups/hangouts to go to? I'm used to Katsu/Ota/Mag, where everyone would just get drunk by the Gazebo or Marquis lobby.
I went to sak last year, but didn't actually spend much time at the con itself due to a hangover + visiting friends + the fire.
>>
>>10968494
theres a 24 hour arcade
>>
>>10968509
It's 24 hours?
>>
>>10968494
Depends on your niche. There's whole bunch of panels ranging from contests to interests in creating content to voice actors and celebs. Though some were canceled because of the cheese cake factory fire lol
>>
>>10968536
yes it lasts the entire convention from opening to close
>>
>>10968536
No, it's 23 hours and 59 minutes
>>
Does this con still have just dance in the gaming room?
>>
>>10968596 I don't recall seeing just dance, but there are a few DDR or other dancing games available there.
