>tfw major post con depression

>>8845435
I don't think I've experienced post-con depression this badly until now. This year made up for how gloomy last year felt.

So what ribbons did you end up getting. I know some of my friends got close to 300. I was there mostly Saturday and wasn't trying very hard, so I got just a few. All the ones I got were from friends except for the lesser dog ribbon. I found that one on the ground on Sunday when I was picking up a friend for lunch.

>>8845447
Seriously, I fucking sobbed all Monday returning to normal day life and having a shit day after such a great con. This last ALA was easily the best convention I've been to.

>>8844685
I will get to you on getting those files since I can get the actual latest DDR files too. Where can I contact you?

>>8845462
Who knows, but you just reminded me about TSRbrah from last year

Did anyone get that "This con fukken sux" one that had a picture of Carl Sagan? I saw exactly one guy running around that had that one and a "Anime Was a Mistake" one and a "Hi I'm Matt I'm a Technician" one. I literally saw no one else with that.

>ALA 2015 seagull meetup was extremely dead and almost 100% newfags. Most people left within minutes
>ALA 2016 seagull meetup was tinychat in full force

What happened?

>>8845471
2015 was the only Maguma-less one.

According to that logic people go to these if Maguma goes.

>>8845448
>gamer
>konami code

I was trying to figure out the how the ribbons worked so on friday I was figuring out how to earn ribbons and on saturday I just got those two. I wanted to go around and get more but the person I was with was pretty crabby and a literal a-hole so I had to give up. But earning the two I got was fun! I am going to make ribbons for next year since it looked fun handing them out to people and getting some in return.

>>8845467
I got the Anime Was a Mistake from a friend who was being super shady and secretive. Best ribbon besides the metal die cut Partycon 2k16 with built in bottle opener.

>>8845478
I've been thinking of making some ribbons too. My husband was planning to cosplay from Destiny and wanted to make one that said "I found an engram and all I got was this ribbon"

Ended up getting a handful, definitely more than last year.
I gave out all my Psycho-pass ribbons at the meetup though, forgetting that I'd actually probably want to have some for the next couple of days for trading.
I didn't expect there to be so goddamn many of you.

>>8845471
ALA doubling their attendee count is what happened.

>>8845498
doubling the attendee count wouldn't bring oldfags back

>>8845506
2015 was a rough year for me and I only made it to one Cali con.
2016 is the last gasp of a lot of old gags who are pushing that window of true adulthood.

>>8845506
No, but it does fix the part about it being dead.

>>8845462
He was helping run one of the two seagull parties,so most of the people here met him
>>8845455
From what I heard, to find out who started the lobby party
>>8845471
Yeah my bad for that one. I got the opportunity to throw a party in this huge suite that had a pool table in it, but in doing so I got pinned down bartending till like 2 am and had to miss the meetup. Most of the oldfags were in there with me. I tried to contact all the anons I could to get them up to the room because it had space for everybody, but only a few anons made it up.

Don't worry about it, bro. No one remembers your name, and probably couldn't pick your face out of a crowd.

But we'll always remember what you did. No amount of alcohol in the world will let us forget what you did.

However, since we don't know you, you got away with it scot-free. So relax!

>mfw I saw the sinks in the lobby bathroom at the Radisson entirely caked in vomit that smelled like vodka and rotten eggs
>mfw I see cosplayers chugging a big ass flask full of hard liquor

I had a really great time this year! Last year was my first year at ALA so I could definitely see the changes, but they weren't bad. I liked the con center and everyone was super fucking friendly. I made so many new friends and cosplay plans, it's ridiculous.

Our group went to the Radisson on Saturday night then turned right around. Some of ya'll are gross and need more clothes and less booze. It didn't even seem fun, just ridiculous and sleazy. I feel bad for anyone who stayed there. Hearing about the vomit in the sinks and the spiked drinks makes me think we made the right decision to stay away.

The only thing is I sort of regret buying a badge. I didn't really find anything cool in the dealer's room, nor was I super interested in any of the panels. I basically paid $60 to walk through the convention center building to avoid the wind. I hope next year there's some more variety.

>>8845462
Space dandy was cool. Same with the guy with the jap bandana who served drinks and the straight-edge fags who helped people who were drunk.

>>8845949
The panels were seriously terrible. A lot of them seemed like "hey we're a couple of funny people who are going to talk about this come watch us laugh at our inside jokes". Now that ALA is getting bigger, I really hope they have more Japanese guests because I really don't know anyone who gives a fuck about English dub voice actors unless they do roles as video game characters which would still not be appropriate for an anime convention.

Overall, I'd really love to see this con put more emphasis on anime again.

>>8845985
The old ALAs had them read old comic books which were amazing. Favorite part of each ALA.

>>8845949
>The only thing is I sort of regret buying a badge
I know people who ghosted past security this year and got into the con center, but if you "had a really great time" but regret buying a badge, please think about how the badge purchase supports the con for the activities and things you got to do and see.

>>8845519
>Dont drink or smoke
>Say im straight edge whenever asked if I want a drug
>People here said they cringed every time they heard me say it
I just don't want to do drugs and wasn't trying to act superior.

>>8846023
People won't give up trying to make you drink unless you flat out announce it like that anyways.

How do you stop having a crush on a cosplayer you've only met once?

>>8845985
Todd Haberkorn, Kyle Hebert, and Ezra Weisz are pretty cool, but everyone/everything else was boring as shit.

>>8846056
Who's the cosplayer?

>>8846062
Er, Charizard. It wasn't really about the cosplay because he obviously didn't care, but he's just adorable. And nice. And he talked to me even though I'm a literal nobody who spaghetti'd it up after a while.

>>8845818
Post pics

>>8846091
I didn't take them. They did and I was tagged in it.

Hope to see some of you at AX!

Continuing my open forum for problems, comments, complaints, etc on this new thread! If you'd like to share something, please let me know and I'll write it down for our wrap up meeting.

>>8845477
Can't fight that logic~ and I wasn't even there that long either! :3

>>8845521
No offense, but none of y'all have fan art or fan fiction based on your general existence yet. Stop by home depot, buy a ladder, and maybe you can see where our level might be at :3

>>8845984

Stop this

>>8846316
Depends. ALA is nicer if you're going to hang with friends and party. If you're there for the bigger con experience, more industry content, etc... Then do AX.

>>8846310
Sure thing, when I get home. Currently at work, otherwise you'll have to swim through the archive!

>>8846316

You just inspired the start of neoseagull fanart....
Why would you damn another generation like that.

>>8846513
The cycle continues...

Did any seagulls try any of the food options in the area? Hubs and I treated Freeman to ramen at a place called Sushi Area 909 in Rancho. I personally prefer it on over ramen. But their ramen is pretty decent.

>>8846513

Fuck these niggers. If they get this mad that you dont drink then they probably have a drinking problem. Thankfully most of the people at the party didn't care or joked. I know I don't mind.
>>8846269
A few anons last thread were saying how they hate straight edges and find them cringy.

>>8846316
I always enjoyed ALA more because it was smaller

>>8846567
Even the guys handing out the alcohol respected it if I remember correctly.

lewis isnt have bad actually. that wig fucks everything up though. Vivi is pretty cute. and lol potato cosplay.

>>8845554

call me a grandpa but I fucking hate the kind of music kids listen to these days. modern EDM or whatever is terrible.

>>8846023
what makes it cringy is you saying you dont want to do it because you're "straight edge".
a simple "nah, im good" is all it takes. fuck man.
pretty sure nobody cares if you refuse to drink and/or do drugs.

>>8846554
I just got so fired up after the trap told me to grab his crotch that I couldn't help it. Hopefully I wasn't being too cringe

>>8846597
It depends on how convincing the trap is.

>>8846624
You never were clear on what trap you touched.
Nah, you weren't cringe. You're kinda cute in that awkward way, no homo.

>>8846623
>I don't want alcohol or weed because I don't drink alcohol or smoke (straight edge)
What's the problem? In my experience whenever I say no thanks or say I don't drink I instantly get a "why not? You should try some" but saying your straight edge instantly stops people from trying.
Do you get mad if someone says they don't eat the meat you are offering because they are vegetarian?

>>8846654
Whatever it's staying sideways.

That's all I got.

>>8846743

Seriously. Friday was really nice. Saturday was clear, but just a bit on the cold side, Sunday? Mother nature just said fuck you to everybody. I felt bad for anybody who had to drive home in that mess.

>>8846693
Best:
Making new friends in the IE where I live. This will really help my hikikomori tendencies.

Worst:
While there's no gaps in my memory of ALA, I can't remember every single minute of this con like I want to. Might invest in a gopro for next ALA.

I'll be sure to squad around to all of the parties with #dicksquad at Fanime.

>>8846752
Yeah, the guy I was chilling with on Saturday drove me home after he'd been rolling all night. I didn't realize that I should have been fearing for my life until I got home. It was pretty bad.

I'm so glad we lived so close. Since we just did the con Saturday, we just swung by to pick people up for food away from the con on Sunday.

I know some people were having to drive in the heavy rain and hail/snow. I know at least one who had to get an extra night at his hotel because his ride couldn't make it.

Blessings to anyone still dealing with post-con poops.
Praying for you, senpai.

Greentext time
>Go to SDCC for years
>Friend invites me for a drink one year
>Go to the room and see a printer in a hotel room
>Ask about it because it's unusual
They had a graphic designer friend rooming with them who would hang outside the parties and study the wristbands and duplicate and print his own. Get a nice multifunction printer and a laptop, scan one wristband and you will print yourself to any wristband enforced hotel you want.

>>8846806
Haha, I was one of those crazy people.

Well, actually, I was ready to pack up, but I've worked in way worse conditions as a journalist, and the cosplayers I had booked still wanted to give it a shot, so how could I not oblige?

Everyone who was able to drop by our room made this one of my favorite con experiences ever, can't wait to do it again at Fanime, Anime Expo, and Anime California!

>>8847225
There are better hotels for AX if you want to party.

>>8846951
Nope! I was at 3080 briefly on Friday for a jungle juice refill, but didn't touch 3093. Pixel and her boyfriend might have been at 3093 for a bit, but I'd be insulted if you thought he was me.

Despite all the circlejerking in this thread I still don't see any big reason to go to ALA. It just looks like a glorified pool party.

>>8847116
Bruh I'll hook you two up
Just let me know

also hi clockwork apparently skaabii knows you and you know me somehow so hi yeah
i think i added you on facebook

>>8847366
There is some great cosplay at ala, so if you care about that its a reason to go. It also has the small con community feel that some people like as opposed to a big con like ax

>>8847450
While there is some truth to what you just wrote, I still felt like the con had some redeeming value. Lolita Dark/other concerts, battle of the bands(I think), KYLE HEBERT, fashion show was a nice surprise desu. Oh and the more intimate feel

This was going to be my only con for the year but now I have the urge to go to other local cons just to find that one print.

>>8847584
What was it of? I'll help you anon!

>>8847586
It was a Gon and Killua print from HunterxHunter. It had a white background, japanese festival feeling to it, Killua (white haired boy) was facing right, taking off some kind of white mask, had japanese wooden sandals on, and pretty much took most of the space on the print since he was right in front.

Gon (black haired boy) was behind him facing the left side kinda looking up and there was a red circle on the left side of the print as well. It had a very Japanese festival setting to it so most of the colors that stood out was the white, black, and red, especially the red.

I tried describing it the best way I can, hopefully you or some other anon, or better yet the actual artist, knows which print I am taking about.

>>8847594
I know which print you speak off, that artist has been going around the convention circuit for a while now, I'm sure they will show up again.

>Anything you'd want to or like to see that'd make the badge worth it for you?

Not that Anon but I have suggestions! (I have trips blocked in my desktop so I'm assuming that you're ALA staff and this is something I should know?)
The fact that the radisson was across such a huge street made it feel like everything was super far away. Finding space in the doubletree, Ayres/Azure, or that other one in between those two would be way more convenient. Also I think it would be more convenient to put panels and cosplay gatherings and autograph sessions (basically stuff you tend to go to at a specific time) in one place and the rest in the other, if you must have it split up. I spent barely any time at con because after doing something I'd planned in the convention center, half the time the next thing I wanted to check out in my free time was across the street, and going back to my hotel felt easier, especially when the weather got bad. If there was a gathering or panel I knew I didn't want to miss, walking over to the radisson would feel like no big deal, but just to hang out in the gaming room I could never bring myself to do it.
Of course it can't be 100% split up this way (maybe gatherings won't fit in the radisson, and it's good to have some time fillers next to the stuff you had planned specifically) but this year it was pretty evenly split, and that deterred me from actually doing stuff.

Also having panels running later would have been really nice. Based on how early everything ended I'm guessing there just weren't many panel applicants? My friend and I do a game show at fanime every year so we'll probably try and bring that over to ALA for next year at least

>>8848059
>Also I think it would be more convenient to put panels and cosplay gatherings and autograph sessions (basically stuff you tend to go to at a specific time) in one place and the rest in the other, if you must have it split up.
I agree with this completely.

Put all the press stuff that 98% of congoers don't go to into the Radisson, and instead have the game rooms upstairs.

>>8848059
> panels running later would have been really nice.

There were late night panels at the Raddison. It's tricky due to how the convention center closes late at night

>>8847882
I was hoping to find some sort of blog or online store for them but this atleast gives me hope on buying the print sooner or later at the next con!

>>8848059
Yeah I'm on staff lol, but yes please leave yo' comments! Also gameshows and more content are ALWAYS welcome! I'm on the Executive staff team so I'm trying to be quite active about making sure attendee feedback gets to the people it needs to be at.

In regards to the split of activities, this is something we couldn't really have avoided in Year 1 of the new venue but its good to hear from people how they felt about it. We'll probably be reassessing where things will go because I also feel that if there's a need to walk between the two venues, it better be a good one. Pushing some more prime or constantly frequented stuff to the Radisson would help its foot traffic. We'll see what happens with that. Thanks for your inputs!

The key is to not delude yourself into thinking you, YOU, were ever going to get any action. That way you can't feel bad.

That's what I did

>>8848569
Wanna have fun, go be yourself. If chicks dig you they'll dig you. You wanna get freaky? if it happens it happens. Also go to the dance or something, some freaky people hit the dance.

>>8848563
At least at the 3093 party, all three/four girls actually did have boyfriends. At least from what I could tell.

So,

>>8848507
I stayed at the Residence Inn. If you were in the room party that got kicked on Friday night, you niggas deserved it.

>>8848726
That happened to more than one room on Friday night, but the entire situation was unfortunate. Evictions weren't really necessary.

>>8848678

My bad, all the grills were in 3080.
>>8848678
>>8848673
Its because the spiders were revenge against tripfags, and all the tripfags were in my suite party. This year the spiders probably were kill because it was cold. We never did make it out to the pool deck tho, so maybe they were out there.

>>8848726
I wasn't there when they got kicked, but they weren't that loud when I was there.
This was before the police thing

>>8848756
Hey, we had lots of girls torwards the end. I dunno where they came from though.

How I need to know whats up with the spiders and horrible room party?

>>8848765
Probably refugees from the Farmhouse party.

>>8848786
As far as I know, all Radisson parties went well.
>>8848794
Ehh, that explains a lot of things now. Fortunately they were the biggest tippers.

>>8848737
>>8848762

I was at the lobby just chilling away on my own and I overheard the front desk calling the room multiple times to quiet down. Whoever was hosting that room party is a complete dumb fuck that can't understand basic instructions on when to turn down a notch.

>>8848751
Excessive? They were told multiple times from the front desk to quiet it down because of the noise complaints they have been getting. I was there when the front desk guy called the room that this was their last warning. An hour later, I hear from a room mate that went to that party that they got evicted and had to get the police called in.

>>8848643
No, anon, you are the hero. I'm gonna hold you to that handle

>>8848765
Yeah, early on it was kinda a sausage fest but by the end of the night, close to half of the party was girls. Bobby and I managed to invite a bunch of girls after the farmhouse party ended, helped even things out.

It's whoever owned that rooms fault. Should have tossed out the people making noise and called it a night. I checked in on Day 0 and there a shit ton of squad cars of the Residence Inn's parking.

Yeah, what a good time be a drunk and coked up fucktard in a hotel that is also hosting a ton of cops.

>>8848849

>>8848940

>>8849149
Well the Residence Inn was never part of the hotel line up. Or was it?
Either way they are a no nonsense hotel. If you look up their reviews people mention how they have been kicked out for noise complaints. Since it's a place that people actually live at/evacuate to it seems like common courtesy to obey the 9pm-9am quiet time.

>>8849149
California lets hotels evict guests for not abiding by the hotel's rules (i.e. no smoking) or causing a disturbance.

>>8849352
Just go at different times, that seems to work well, especially if its a higher class hotel.
If you go to a motel though you can sneak a few people

Anyone stayed at the Ayers Suites? How is it? Fuck the Radisson, next year it's either a toss up between Ayers and Double Tree.

>>8849239
That's the point. It's a great con to have fun and wear chill cosplays and enjoy the atmosphere.

The new dates for 2017 have been announced, and the hotels currently don't have any rooms available for those dates? Is it too early to book, or is it that ALA has prebooked all those rooms as part of their upcoming block?

>>8850132

Didn't go to the party, not sure I don't regret it since I'm not into all that. It was my first time cosplaying, it sort of fell apart halfway through the day Saturday though and I had to sort of give up.
Got my first kigurumi too and I honestly have to say I've been addicted to this thing since, didn't have to go anywhere Monday so I washed it (the maker is pretty good, it's machine washable) and basically wore it most of the day. It's also been my pajamas past couple days. Most comfortable thing I've ever worn, daysue. If I had a reason to wear it somewhere I probably would. I'm a guy that sometimes wants to feel cute I guess, but that's sort of difficult to do (or let's be honest, even say) without someone thinking you're trans or pretty much getting the wrong idea....

The panels were awful and the people in the E-Gaming room didn't know jack shit about games or consoles. They didn't know what a Genesis controller looked like and handed me a PS2 one instead.
