Anyone have stories from con's they've been to? Can range from cool to cringey.
>>
At a Convention in Kansas I rode in the hotel elevator with the dude who plays the main character in Trigun and had no idea at all.

I have tons of fun ones, I only ever go to like one convention a year though :(
>>
I had a artist alley table at a con last week and a girl came up to me, told me she loved my stuff, hugged me, then licked my face.
That was unexpected.

One con I went to was so dead that at times, there were actually more staff and vendors at the con than attendees.

I want to go to a con near me, but don't have much of an internet presence and am more into the idea of networking. Do you have suggestions?

Pretty much just talk to people, you'll meet lots of people that way. Especially if you find people cosplaying characters you know.
>>
>>8865003
I accidentally deleted this part in my original post but, any info/tips about getting a table at artist's alley events?
>>
>>8865001
If you are looking to meet people at a con, then just cosplay. It is very easy to go up and talk to people when your cosplaying, especially when you talk to someone is is cosplaying from the same, or similar show.
You can also talk to artists and vendors during off hours when they aren't busy. We get bored during the end of the day and don't mind conversation if we aren't busy. Ask about our products and other cons we have been to.

I went to a convention like that once
>Geek stuff starts getting popular here
>Some outside people see that and decide to host their own convention
>Cause geeks will buy anything right?
>Rent out huge event hall
>That's so out of the way that no young people can get there
>Schedule it for the end of summer
>So it was boiling hot, and everyone had already spent all their money at the earlier summer conventions
>Decide to create a odd coin system for buying things
>Only events are gaming tournaments
>I went for a few hours because a good friend of mine was a vendor there
>Only 20 or so people in the whole convention hall

Last I've heard they were trying to organize a big "international level" hotel convention, but in a town that's a 6 hour drive from any of the main cities here.
>And this is in a country where everyone complains constantly if a convention is moved to a town an hour away from them.

> not a con, but selling at an event hosted by a comic book store

He left and went into another part of the store pretty quickly after passing my table and we didn't see him again.

This is the only con story I have and it makes me rage every time I think about it

>go to really small con in city
>like 3 shops and a room playing anime
>went with friend and felt really hype
>she was going to meet with her friends too
>suddenly, at the con, Im all alone
>cant find her, littlest con ever and I get fucking lost, head starts to ache
>she appears half an hour later telling me she was outside with her friends
>of fucking course
>tell her my head aches and I want to leave
>she tells me she has pills somewhere
>she cant find them so she requests her dad to drive us to our homes
>while in the car back home, she finds her fucking pills
>"oh no, here they are... I could have spend more time with my friends"
>my face when she only wanted to spend time with her other friends and leave me watching anime or some shit

nope... It was in January, in Nashville, TN. It was a good con too, they had good guests and panels. I think their prices were a little higher for being a first year con.

>Staffing a con, working with guests of honor
>One guest, an animator/director, draws a picture for his translator

>Guest ends up drawing something for every staffer working with the guests of honor

I'm not sure why, but this made me laugh. If you can specify... What movie was it? You don't have to answer if that makes you uncomfortable, I just want to know what the Stupid Lizard is.

Sounds like a really great guest, either way!

Honestly one of the best fan-creator meets I've ever had. He was so genuinely touched that we liked his comic series so much and we were both fangirling so hard. I think just having a now best friend/then roommate there with me because she'd gotten into the series so quickly also was just a cool plus.

you done goofed. bros before hoes doesn't apply at cons, because it's weekend-long event and thus you are not required to spend every waking hour with the people you came with. your friends were responsible for their own enjoyment and you let them drag you down with them when you were putting in the effort to enjoy yourself.

>We don't want to take him to the hospital. Bad idea in hindsight, we just thought if we kept him propped up, and kept a watch over him and made sure he was still breathing, he'd be fine.
>We get back to the hotel and put him on the couch. We take turns watching over him. Every few seconds he would shake, and his eyes would flutter.
>Not looking good.
>An hour in he starts shaking like crazy, and a friend start freaking out. We end up calling the ambulance, and EMT's come over to check him out.

>Hotel manager and EMT's show up. We tried our best to hide all of our sleeping bags, but something is still out. Worried as fuck about the Hotel Manager being concerned.
>Gold woke up briefly when the EMT's shone their lights into his eyes, and answered his questions on his name, who he was, where he was at; but could not remember his last name.

There's your first mistake. I don't even consider staying at hotels that aren't walking distance from the con.
You don't realize the benefit of being able to go back and fourth, multiple time a day, as you please, until you have it.

You definitely should have gotten a more expensive room closer to the con.

Yeah, it's not a simple outfit, but the mummy bandages are easier than you think. You take a pair of leggings and a long-sleeved top, put them on (or put them on a mannequin if you have one), then just use textile glue to glue the bandages on at a few key spots as you unwind them. As long as you let the glue dry before you take off the piece of clothing, it should be good to last at least one con day (I haven't worn it longer). I would do some tests with scrap bandages and fabric first, since I had to switch glues midway and one of them left visible glue marks.
I made seperate gloves and a balaclava and wrapped them with the same method. I'd reccommend protecting your hair if you have to glue bandages on while you wear the balaclava, though.

Canada? I have the same slight fear every year going to cons because I know I've jumped into a lot of fights on the con pages and especially with small ones I don't want people to ignore me or something based on my political opinions lol. I've never seen someone walk away from someone or start an irl fight at a con though. Seems to be an online-exclusive thing.

Technically a con story.
He didn't just stare for a second or two a few times or something, he actually continuously stared at us almost the entire time we were there.

She literally kept being a total bitch until I just got fed up and just ditched her ass to go to the rave. I don't even remember how she got home that night but she didn't come back to the con even though she paid for a 3 day pass. Never went with her to a con again, up until now she complains about how "horrible cons are" and how "her friends left her for no reason". Fuck outta here.

Why would she even bother to go if she hated it so much?

I genuinely don't know. I think it's because most of our friend group was going and she didn't want to feel left out. I'm just glad she didn't show up the other days.

>>8872463
I think it's a combo of that, arriving late/being pissy about the fight and trying to redivert that into "this shit sucks", and then being ignored at the panel. You know, "nothing is going right so everything sucks".

So a few years back at AUSA, I was stupid enough to allow unknown people room with me. Anyway I had two rooms and quite a few of my friends with me.
>Friday afternoon and I notice one of the doors was locked and I couldn't get in. I shrugged it off thinking people were changing. So I go to the other room.
> 2 hours later I go back and the door is unlocked and I walk in on one of the strangers ass naked and full view of his penis.
> I turn the fuck around and leave letting him have his privacy.
> 6 Hours later I return and they are still at it. This time A Tranny is thrown into the mix.
>I am tired,sick (Had gotten food poisoning from a Cesar salad) and just want to sleep but too shy to tell them to knock it off so I go to the other room and crash out for a bit.
>Wake up the next morning and Round two had already started, Annoyed I allowed people to change in the other room and ignore it.
> They stop sometime around 3 to get food and we walk in to claim our stuff and find condoms everywhere. On the floor, Desk and Dresser, One horrified roommate found more shit in the bathroom. another Found rope used to Tie the tranny... apparently to keep them in submission while they did what ever the fuck they did to them.
> They come back and I get on them about using the bed I had assigned to a couple who were my friends and paid more. I moved on and left the room (Still sick as a dog) to see if I could see friends I hadn't seen in a while
>Come back and they are fucking again. And I mean we can hear shit through the walls. Go to the other room and turn on Anime hell to try and drown it out. After a few more hours I had enough and asked the friend who found the rope to tell them they had 5 minutes to wrap it up or they would be kicked out.
> They leave and come back begging me to allow the woman to stay because she was kicked out of her room for being a shitty roommate.

CONT:

>I reluctantly agree under the condition of no more sex.
>They agree and it holds for about 2 hours And they are at it again again on the bed that they weren't supposed to be on. Fortunately for us one of the couple who were assigned that bed went home for an emergency.
>This time they stop around 11pm and walk out to get food.
>We survey the damage and find Stains all over the bed including blood stains.
>Consider it a lost cause and make the guy who was suppose to sleep on the bed sleep in the other room
>The guy was a nice guy and declined to share a bed with another girl (Religious reasons and he felt it was uncomfortable since he was engaged) So he sleeps on the floor.
>Fast forward to the next morning and we are cleaning up the hotel rooms. Find more condoms.
>In the end the two who hooked up ended up dating

Needless to say they weren't allowed to room with me again. From that point on only people I knew were allowed to stay with me and Sex was restricted to the bathroom. Now that I am married I am pretty much in the room alone and will allow maybe 1-2 people to stay only if I really know them and they know the rules.

Sadly I will forever have that Guy's Dick etched into my brain.

It seems like there's a catch-22 when it comes to attending cons. You can go by yourself, and do all the stuff you want to do; but certain things are better experienced with others, and seeing other people hanging with their friends while you're alone can be rather depressing. You can go with friends, and have no lack of people to do things with; but you probably won't get to do half the stuff you really want to do, and will probably have to deal with dumbass drama to boot.

So, you either get to be lonely or disappointed.
Yay life.

>>8880422
Or you could go with friends, split up if one of you wants to see a panel or whatever, and meet up at a designated spot. Life doesn't have to be shit.

>>8880453
This. It's really not hard to have both - you should be friends with people who understand the need for alone time or the fact that you guys will wanna split on occasion cause you won't always want to be going to the same stuff. I've gone to cons with friends who don't mind doing stuff together and then splitting up and then meeting back up again and it's been nice. I've also been to cons with people who felt that we had to be glued to the hip every moment of the convention and would complain about going to things I wanted to go to or would be mad if I wasn't as enthusiastic as they were about going to something they loved and I didn't know about.

There's a difference between life being shitty and making it shitty. Do your best to avoid making it shitty, yeah?

>>8870674
what character was she?
>>
>>8880465
Being offended =/= hating your guts afterwards. Like I disagree with you, but I would still hang out with you if you were a fun person to hang out with. The problem is the people who get really anal about their opinions, regardless of whether they're conservative or liberal. Also the people who cannot contain their own opinions and shove it into everything, even if it hurts other people. Just be reasonable, and most people won't mind that much.

This reminds me of the first con i went to. University anime club some how scrounged up the money to rent out a small convention center and setup a con. There are less then 200 people at this con but its baby's first con so I'm excited. They somehow trick several VAs and other guest to show up telling them this was an established con including Yoko Ishida. They have a small stage setup in the dealer room for her but she's not there. Overhear some people talking that Yoko was almost in tears because she was not told the con was so small.

The con didn't last. They tried again 2 years later but it they haven't done anything for years.

Just out of curiosity, but people honestly want completely gender neutral bathrooms? I feel like there should be three bathrooms, Ladies, Mens, and a Gender Neutral one.

>>
>>8890287
I think part of the problem is that the concepts of "ladies room" and "mens room" still exist.
I mean, you're going in there to piss/take a dump. It's something we all do.

This far in, we should realize that there's no real, logical reason in segregating facilities based on biological sex. Like, just go in there, take care of business, then move on with your life.

>b-b-but muh privacy
The presence of a person with a penis in the vicinity does not mean you still can't have privacy if you're in a stall.

>b-b-but muh threat of sexual assault
I got news for you: 99% of people are just regular-ass people who just need to use the bathroom. Also, if a predator is gonna, a sign on a door ain't gonna stop him. ALSO, there seems to be some whole fucking weird assumption that women are never assaulted by other women.

>b-b-but muh grown men in the same room with little girls
Did you know that grown men are in the same space as little girls everywhere else? It's true! As long as everyone involved is just behaving normally and using the restroom for it's intended purpose (which 99% of the people out there will), then everything will be fine. Stop assuming that all grown men are fucking pedophile rapists who are about to snap.

All restrooms should be gender-neutral. People, especially women, need to get the fuck over themselves.
>>
>>8888043
This doesn't make sense if all the bathrooms are gender neutral there's no "womens" bathroom they're all gender neutral. Get your stupid made up story out of here and go back to your containment board /pol
>>
>>8891107
I get what you're saying but honestly, I ain't wanting to take a shit with dudes. That's just me. Why can't we have three bathrooms: neutral, men's, women's? We all piss away happy.
>>
>>8891116
iirc, the restrooms were still separated in the con center, but the con staff themselves had designated them as "gender neutral" bathrooms. so there were still signs for a "men's room" and a "women's room" but in those particular restrooms they were meant to be disregarded (i think they had separate signs up posted by con staff)

i agree with >>8891107 that the whole thing is stupid as hell, i just thought i'd clear up confusion on that particular aspect of the story seeing as i was there as well
>>
>>8886126
What con was it? I feel like I know exactly which one you're talking about
>>
>>8891107
Agreed, although honestly I think making genderneutral bathrooms is kind of overkill. Once the genderneutral fad dies away no one will care anymore and no one will use the genderneutral bathrooms if it's presented as a third option, even most trans people will still use the bathrooms they do now (which is the gender they identify with). In that way it has to be all or nothing, there's literally no point in creating a third set of bathrooms for gn.

Anyway to keep this related has anyone noticed that you need a pass to get into artist alleys? And they've been a lot more disappointing the last few years, not a lot of good arts and crafts. Just feels awkward to have to go into a seperate part of the convention where they have like five booths with some badly drawn fanart and a bunch of it is weird mlp shit.
>>
>>8891206
Tbh I think instead of making gender neutral bathrooms jsut make a general "handicapped, family, neutral" amalgamation bathroom
>>
>>8891256
A lot of malls and public places where I live have family bathrooms now. Apparently because someone threw a fit over putting baby changing tables in the men's bathroom.

>Friend of a friend is having a small room party at a con, only about ten or so people.
>Only really know two of them everyone else is either an acquaintance or friend of a friend
>everyone is drinking, at least one person is 18
>two girls just strip down to their underwear
>play some cell phone games because I'm socially awkward and can't really get into any of the conversations people are having
>randomly look up as someone hurries to leave the room
>one girl is naked and is letting her guyfriend spank her with a leather flail
>didn't realize it was happening because everyone else was trying to ignore it
>pretend to get a phone call and politely excuse myself from the room

I only found out later that he was apparently her BDSM partner and that the girl who left was his girlfriend. I mean people can like what they like, but goddamn, when people say get a room they usually mean one that's empty.

I don't want a bathroom with men because I want a safe place where I can holla, "Anyone got a pad or a tampon?" Where I can putz without with my makeup without worrying about some dude rolling his eyes and making my appearance & the time it takes about them. I just want some privacy and I can get some by being divided from men.

Echoing this from the male side. We like not having to queue for the toilet and we need a safe space to hold fart contests and use the ass dryer.

Dang. I'm sorry that happened to you, anon. Obviously it's too late for tips now but maybe keep this in mind for the future, in case something similar happens to you again: Sometimes simply being honest does the trick. Your mind goes blank? Take a deep breath and say so. "I'm sorry, the name escapes me right now, I'm just really excited to talk to you" - It might seem like an idiotic thing to do but you'd be surprised how forgiving people can be. Just don't completely lose it and you'll be fine, these things happen.

Slightly off topic but at my university they have gender neutral bathrooms. Ironically they were all unisex handicap bathrooms before, and while everyone is falling over themselves at how progressive they were, all they did was change a sign.

I had a similar thing happen to me at a bathroom once. Girl was so frustrated struggling to put fake eyelashes on and noticed that I was wearing some, so she asked me to help her put hers.

It freaked me out to touch a stranger eyelids and face so upclose. She didn't even flinch. I'd rather die or go without eyelashes than have someone's grubby hands on my eyes.

Don't wait til con day to try putting eyelashes for the first time wtf.

My uncle used to tell me a story about how he took his girlfriend somewhere while she was on her period. A horny horse smelled it and started humping the car.

This guy also wanted me to believe that he was Johnny Depp's best friend and invented Transformers, so take that as you will.

no we usually only go for Saturday because we're poorfags. We went to Jan 2016 SacAnime with MF, but he acted much better because we skipped the memedrinks and bringing his neighbor.

Why the fuck would you tell him that when he's already admitted he thought he was out of control? Dude, no. Should have told him "Yeah you had a little bit too much." and hoped he learned his lesson and didn't repeat it. Telling him it was alright and nothing happened when he was obnoxious and pretty much ruined a good con and almost got his ass beat by some rightfully angry patron, on top of harassing the neighbor girl in a bathroom.. should've come clean, bro.

Not much of a story but I remember washing my hands after using the bathroom at Otakon and there was this one (probably) dad finishing up too. When I was about to leave these two girl Homestuck cosplayers walk in and start checking themselves on the mirror.

The dad mentions something about how this is the men's bathroom and one of the homestuck girls say "it's alright, I identify as male." Walked right out before i got the urge to laugh in their face.

Yeah okay, gender neutral washrooms got removed where I live because guys ended up taking pictures with their phones from in the stall looking into other stalls beside theirs. Not only that but the washroom becomes so much filthier. Fuck your SJW views and your perceived oppression, you're as oppressed as the president.

Thanks for following along with the journey, anons! I rarely see Wiccan, RG, and RGB anymore despite going to the same convention every year for over five years now so I'm kinda sad I don't have any more horror stories about staying with them, just what I've heard from other people since then and the few times Wiccan has tried to get me back to being her friend (I met her first and Normie came along about three years later when I was in high school) and only succeeded in making me like her less and those aren't convention related.

>Wiccan crying over the phone over how neither key worked and the hotel workers wouldn't let them in and they can't get up with Married Couple

What the hell is wrong with her? I can understand the two religious horn-dogs being miffed that their sexytime has been cancelled, but what is Wiccan so upset about that she's crying? Why the hell didn't they all just go back to the con and wait for Married Couple to come back later?

JFC this is what I'd expect some 16-year-old sperg first time on their own to do, but these people were in their 20s? How do they remember to breath?
>>
>>8907722
I honestly can't say why Wiccan was crying aside from RG and RGB causing a scene even before I got there and Wiccan just wanting to get in there and change before she went to the rave.
Why they didn't go back to the con? Probably because they were all stuck up and thought not being able to get into the room was the end of the world and they had to get into the room RIGHT THEN instead of waiting forever for Married Couple to come back since no one knew how long they were going to be out.

The most ridiculous part of it all was that I was several years younger than anyone else and only there for a second convention and yet I coped better. Yeah, I had a minor freak out earlier on Saturday morning when I left for the con in the shuttle and realized when I got there that I had left my badge at the hotel and almost cried because Wiccan, RG, and RGB were like "Well too bad because we won't be there for two hours because our cosplays take forever to put on." and I couldn't even get past the hotel lobby without a badge and I had a photoshoot to go to in 30 minutes. Needless to say I missed it but I got over it pretty quick and didn't lose my mind at staffers to force them to let me pass because "I totally have a badge, I just don't have it on me!"

Talk to people anyway? If you suck at making small talk with strangers then try attending meet ups and see if that helps? It's easier to talk to a bunch of people all joined together for a photoshoot/fandom meet than it is to do a one on one conversation.

I met some of best friends of my life at the megacon 2015 meet up all guys. Yea maybe for tiny cons that applies but if you go to a meet up don't be a sweaty nerd looking to score.
Actually just don't go to cons if your some thirsty dick but don't be dissuaded from going to meet ups just because your a guy.
Con's are about meeting people don't be afraid to go out make some connections who cares if they reject your friendship for some half baked reason.

In a quiet lull, I walked to the bathroom between activities. At the end of the hall, there was a small grand piano. A man was sitting there quietly but tentatively looking around, seemingly shy. I walked up and asked him, "Play for me, please?" He deferred a bit but I motioned for him to do it. I stood while he played all the parts of one of my most favorite classical pieces, without any hint it was my favorite, but somehow, he knew to play it. I thanked him, we smiled and I went on my way. Just a small magical moment.

I was walking behind a really sexy beautiful Supergirl.... I don't think she was wearing the red cape. I am a virgin and all I wanted to do was pinch her ass.

I have one friend who has done this every con I've been to with him. Once or twice he wanted to see a guest and get a autograph so we did that but typically he doesn't have anything specific in mind and he just ends up following me around like a shadow. I went to a speed dating panel and he just sat in a food court waiting for me the entire time instead of going off and meeting people or finding a panel or an anime viewing room or something. It was...kind of off putting? But he always says he has a great time and he wants to go to more cons so whatever.

100% real, anon. RG's mom was all shades of crazy but so was Wiccan's mom so I guess since they grew up with it, they didn't see anything wrong with it?

And no, that's not typical of America. Usually if you got to conventions, you're not going to have a parent with you unless you're underaged or you're an adult who just shares geek bonding with your parents and the both of you want to be there.

I will never understand these people. I'm very independent at cons to the point where I'll even leave my gf to run around solo if I'm feeling bored/restless. It's all about trying/seeing new things, and hanging around one person all day isn't going to let you do that. Sheesh

Aren't the cgl meets mostly dudes? If there are girls the girls tend to leave early anyway. So it's basically a good way to find other cgl-bros and do bro things together, isn't it? I don't think there's even enough girls to call anyone autists at those meetups.

All the /cgl/ meetups I've been to were mostly women. But the ones I went to were only people who cosplayed or wore lolita. Now it's just people who come here during a con looking to meetup with people, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's mostly dudes.
