Four days until Nebkon!
Who's all going?
Any events, panels, groupshoots,etc you're interested in?
Cool things to do while in Omaha?
Seagull meet-up?

Are there any good restaurants near by?
I'd prefer not to drive to Omaha every time to eat
Looking forward to Chii Sakurabi, #1 idol.

I've seen her mentioned on here quite a bit for having 4k followers on twitter...
SUSPICIOUS
>>9240033
Is anyone willing to have a meetup? We can also do a line or discord group chat to plan things out and get to know each other beforehand. I'm visiting from out of state so I don't want to host the actual meet up, but I can set stuff up.
>>9240064
If you search on the Nebraskon facebook group, there was a post with tons of recommendations for where to eat.
>>9240382
Is Runza actually good or is it just a meme?
We have one inLawrence but I've never actually been
>>9240382
I'm down to meetup! I haven't been to one before.
Is there a list of all of the photoshoots?
>>9240877

Runza is fucking disgusting, do not eat there
>>9240928
What exactly is it?
I only been last year but as for good places to eat all of them seem to be in bellevue or downtown omaha
We can actually have meetup then all go to a sushi place called Tokyo Sushi downtown, all you can eat and only $20
>>9241411
We can recreate the Sakura-con commercial

It's a hollowed out dinner roll type bread shell stuffed with ground beef and onions
Essentially a sock full of substandard meat
>>9240382
Any update/luck on the meetup?
I'll only be there on Saturday so I'll probably just post my pic like i did for Naka-kon
>>9242307
Eat shit and die
>>9242485
Sorry, I already said I don't eat Runza, can't really follow through on that one
Hit me up! ill be the doom guy and some other cosplays there!
I'll be wandering around as this guy again taking photos. Say hi if you see me.
>>9243097
Just added you m8
>>9243097
extremely anxious that despite the con grounds is going to be bigger for the crowd but the BO game will be strong and crowded anyways.
tis my fate
>>9243097
>>9242289
How about this then
>>9243333
MY SHIRT HAS ARRIVED
>tfw the con is in 24 hours and two costumes still aren't done
this is fine.
>>9243560
What's your line-up?
>>9243567
I'm doing Felicia from Fire Emblem and Daiya Higashikata from JJBA! I have to make my Felicia cosplay twice since I'm making my friend's Flora cosplay too lmao.
>>9243584
Lmao
Is this Duwangchew?
>>9243606
Haha, nah. I'm just some random uggo.
>>9243625
>tfw kind of want to go but I work tonight and tomorrow, and Saturday is my birthday with family
I just wanna meet cool people from cons, my once a year trip to AX isn't enough....
Pre-reg update

Here's the schedule

Anyone here?
Jesus christ

>>9240481
Runza's amazing, don't listen to the jealous non-NE fag above.
Damn good burgers.
>>9243333
Who the fuck are you that you know Tre?
>>9240064
piccolo's steak house
lining up right where people leave the dealer room is pretty annoying
>>9245058
Shhh not important
Also who ever wants to join the meetup, get in the line chat
>>9245716
The dealer's room layout was fucking retarded this year
That dead end leading down to the dealer with the second-hand figs is something I would design if I intentionally wanted to cause congestion
And why funnel everyone out through that tiny-ass hallway? There are perfectly good open doors that lead out into the main hall.
This center was a poor choice in general. Despite it's size, it feels even more congested than Coco Cay was because of the layout where everyone needs to be in the same hallway all the time. And it doesn't seem all that bigger either.
I feel sorry for anyone who actually wants to shop at Cabella's, too--their lot is entirely owned by con goers right now.
Asuka grill in Evangelion panel qt af
Tbh
I can't tell if she's looking at me and it's bugging me
>>9245878
just came from next door concert. whole band is cringey off. you werent joking about the qt3.14 asuka though
>>9245905
I KNOW
NIGGA GOD DAMN
>>9243606
you shit talkin, Trae?
>>9246158
>>9245829
Agreeing with this. I only went for merch and the hall made me so upset that I left without really buying anything.
I didn't see really ANYONE I wanted to take pictures of, and everything was just really mediocre. I spent like 4 hours there today and left.
sucks for anyone who parked at costco while in the cosplay contest line
epic maymays
also is there a story with chii sakurabi? why do I always see her at these midwest cons?
>>9246771
What happened?
>>>9246813
via facebook
>------IMPORTANT NOTICE-------
>If you are parked in the Costco parking lot. You need to move your vehicle IMMEDIATELY! If it is not moved your vehicle will be towed at YOUR expense. You have 10 minutes to move your vehicle. Anime NebrasKon is not responsible for towing of vehicles.
>>9246812
Guest relations for nebkon is uncreative and keeps inviting the same geusts
>>9246812
Tfw your job isn't traveling to exploit weebs
Great con guys I had a great time!
Got this plushie in a mystery grab bag
It's not cute enough so I gave it to my dog
>>9246809
The guy was super freaking nice, too!
I wanna befriend him so badly.
Con was not ran well at all. I want to blame it on the new convention center but holt shit staff was so off page with each other. Everything was ran like it was slapped together a week before the event.
>tfw spent most of the con trying to find a parking spot
Parking Con 2016 was great you guys, I loved my 2004 Hyundai Elantra cosplay.
>>9248109
Seriously dude
There was chaos behind Cabella's
>>9248154
I just parked at the hotel across the street and walked through the field. It wasn't too bad, it was ridiculous though.
What are the chances that they'll move back to the Ramada?
>>9251135
Slim to none. They're locked into a contract with this new place for a couple years I think, and the con is too big for the Ramada anyway unless they start imposing a cap which never goes over well with anyone.
>>9251135
Basically zero
>>9251135
There's a new con called Kanpai con happening there in Feb
>>9252624
if there isnt a big name guest, i doubt it will be that good. sausomecon was ok for a first con because of vic mangina, but the second year, not so much
>>9257846
I'm having trouble imagining Vic Mignogna's presence improving anything
>>9257864
i agree, but it was sure funny as hell watching him in person unintentionally confirm all the rumors about him while asking everyone to whiteknight him on the internet.
Holy fucking shit, did anyone go to the rave on Saturday? The music was literally so awful. Why would they play normie-trap bullshit at an anime convention?
Also how did that /cgl/ meetup turn out?
>>9245878
the eva panel was ok but it would have been better if the autistic asuka cosplayer didnt force us to listen to them talk about how "asuka is just like SOOO misunderstood" for 15 minutes
>>9259370
Theres not much of a meetup if people don't attempt to meet up unfortunately
>>9259371
The way she pronounced Kaworu gave me an aneurysm
>>9259371
I thought the eva panel was really disappointing. They didn't even talk about Kaji or Gendo at all. and I thought asuka cosplayer was super annoying
>>9264544
eh, at least i got some yogurt
>>9264544
i got slightly miffed about skipping gendo but his character is pretty self explanatory.
>>9245878
shes actually a friend of mine i know. shes pretty chill.
>>9258903
what's so notorious about the kanpai organizer? i'm on the edge of deciding whether or not to go.
>>9266690
>>9269262
Apparently they gutted the zen garden inside the hotel, really interested if it turns into something new
>>9271993
well shit. that really was the only thing good about the old location.
>Going to a hick town for an anime convention.
No thanks.
>>9275545
We need somewhere to weeb out in the Midwest
Go away
