Sakura-con 20th Anniversary

I'm all ready to go!

I'm the only one of my group who got their cosplays ready. So this might be fun or a disaster

It's been 2 years since I went to Seattle, I can't wait to go back

>>9429785
>>9429831
The New Classics. I find it so strange that people don't talk about their panels online, though maybe I'll find out why after you read this post and I get meme'd on later this week.

>>9429985
im just unhappy its less about community and more about profit
soon everyone and their dog will have a camera phone and charge $50 for a shoot

>>9430190
>> how many years have you been going?
This will be my second year. Last year I staffed and hated it so won't be this year

>>Fun things to do in Seattle
Muthafuckin Daiso and Uijamaya.

Did we figure out /cgl/ meet up???

>>9430448
It's a mixed bag. People commission cosplayers to make costumes for others, we don't shout at em to make costumes for others for free.

Charging for shoots is whatever long as the client and the photographer are making fair terms. And the quality of content can justify the cost.

>how many years have you been going?
Since 2013.
>cosplay?
Just doing a VK sweater shoot, and later a meetup Friday.
Not planning on cosplaying this year - just coming to see friends.
>horror stories?
Have had a con stalker, but I know they lurk /cgl/ so not going into detail.

>>9430632
I can't wait to get my hands on you <3

>>9430621
Why don't we just have one on Friday AND Saturday at like 9-10-11-ish PM in the con center lobby like always?

>>9430632
was it me?
also thats gonna be a good shoot i would like to see the results

>>9430621
very true but it still feels like we're moving away from anime fandom towards doing it for the fb likes and cash which is sad to me at least

every time i see a paid camera phone shoot on the east coast though....

>>9430660
So fucking hype for Friday.

>>9430707
Nah, but was someone I think you know.
They'll all be up on Facebook after con.

>>9427617
I fucking wish. Paid to go to conventions? That's like a dream come true. Nah, I get free passes to pretty much all of them and that's it. Still that's saving me like 70$ for sakura-con so that's alright.

>>9430190
3 years

Next year, I'm planning to come as EMIYA. Don't know the first thing about hand made, so I started lurking here.

None yet.

Gameworks, Uwajimaya

Hey /v/ here, do you guys have some kind of meet up you do. I wanna go , who knows maybe i even get laid. Anyway post details. Thanks.

>>9431035
We don't want you.

>>9431047
But i want you baby. Wait you are a women right?

>>9431035
eww

>>9431050
Last year's meetup was at least 80% dudes.
At least that's how it looked from about 30 feet away.

>>9430681
that sounds like a good plan, i'm in!

For some reason my dumb ass thought it would be a great idea to not only start a costume for myself 7 days before con, but also to make a matching one for my friend. It's going to be a miracle when this shit is finished.

ALSO where would you guys say are the best areas for photoshoots? I'm going to be playing photographer on Friday and all the spots I can think of are typically flooded with photographers. Are the any semi-discreet areas that look good?

>>9431169
nearby the con center? not really. you can try for a night shoot but shit can get cold. those rock things are pretty neat but during the day get really crowded.

>>9431170
I scheduled my shoots for daytime anyways so that's a no go. I guess I'll just try and work around other photographers. A little nervous since I don't really know the etiquette though

>>9431169
Can you drive? That would help

>Pike Place Market
>The Arboretum by UW
>GasWorks Park
>Woodland Park Zoo

>>9431127
That settles it, /cgl/ Gatherings are at Friday and Saturday in the Con center lobby at 10PM

>>9430855
Sucks you can't get a tip jar or an actual kickstarter or something like that. I know you'd be rolling in dosh. Didn't someone literally cram money down your pants last year?

>>9431113
The one i went to last year was even less. 1 female and a couple of females(male)

>>9431173
that's basically what you do. your photog is going to have to tell you where to move and is going to have to position himself/angle his camera to where no one is in it too. if he doesn't do that, he is a waste of money and should not be recommended or considered again.

>>9431174
best option but not the most convenient. then again if you were going to do an off site shoot you could do it at any point in time, not on con weekend.

Be careful of the marches on Saturday

>>9431235
What marches?

>>9431250
From the email they sent out earlier today, "there is a 'Tax March' at 10 am at the Federal Building on Second Avenue, and a 'Black Lives Matter' rally at Westlake Park from 2-6 pm."

>>9431224
I could get a kickstarter or a patreon or something, but we wouldn't be allowed to advertise it there. We'd get shitcanned so fast. I mean hey, if you're willing to throw money I won't stop you! But we even got in trouble for the money stuffing the other year.

2 DAYS LEFT

Early badge day Tomorrow

Just finishing putting music on the player and I'm set

>>9431192
Guess I'll see y'all at the Saturday meet then! Funimation hosting a party Friday night during that time

Everyone's talking about Gameworks, but if you drive 20 minutes south to Tukwila you hit Round 1, which has newer and better maintained machines, plus karaoke (much bigger anisong selection versus Rock Box in Capitol Hill). Anyone interested? I live in Seattle so I can drive.

>>9431253
I'll make sure make a note of that

>>9431534
Round 1 is a lot snazzier. I've been there. However, for the sake of an internet meetup, ya gotta keep it simple, and Gameworks wins for being right there.

>>9431534
>20 minute drive

Nah, too far keep it within walking distance so it is easier for a group as a whole.

>>9431253
Just keep walking straight and don't stop, if they hand you a flyer or some shit then take it and keep walking.

>>9431261
Would you be interested in being invited to a smaller con (2.5K~ish) as a cosplay guest? I'm guest staff for one, and we're already booking for 2018. No promises since I'm not coordinator for that department, but if you have contact info for booking I'd love to suggest you to the person who is.

>>9431169
A couple of buildings downtown by the con center have some nice atriums. A couple of fountains and nice areas by the court houses-there's protests happening all Saturday though.

Taking the Link train will get you really fast to a lot of other locations like UDistrct to Uwajimaya

>>9431969
I'm only doing short session (~30 minutes) so I don't have a lot of time - any idea which buildings specifically? I can try to scout some out at least, thanks for the input

>>9430269
i can't go because of another panel but good luck bro

1 day left

BADGE
DAY

Day 0, who here already?

>>9432876
Too early, gonna swing by tonight then head to Gameworks.

>>9432878
Some people might have shown up early, not to mention people would have seen that later anyways

But yeah same

>>9432876
Not getting in till 5:30 so I'll probs get to the con around 6:30 if it's still open

>>9432876
Working. I'll be in town around 6-7. Who's going drinking with me?

>>9432878
I'll be at Gameworks too.

>>9432876
Me going to grab some food and cue k out some sotrs. Anything going on tonight?

Linecon for badge right now.
Running around after for last minute makeup shopping

>>9433101
Beating some kids at Smash and reliving my semi-pro days

Industry panels

Finding new shows to watch

I would've been looking forward to Chris Patton, too

Have fun trying to park at Hotel Max. With road work being done right now, buses make it almost impossible for you to park your car anywhere for the valet. You'll most likely have to circle the block at least once.

Where can you smoke in public in Seattle

>>9433163
Tobacco? Just about anywhere not near entrances to buildings. Weed? It's like alcohol so it's frowned upon in public.

>>9433163
25ft from any building

>>9433133
Damn. About to head there, hopefully it's died down a bit.

Ha.

>>9433133
>tfw I was 6th in line when it opened

Now I'm home

Anyone feel like karaoke tonight? And I mean weeb karaoke. Anime OP/EDs only, no western trash, final destination.

>>9433240
I'm down to drink beer and watch.

>>9433240
Where at I'm game

>>9433242
>>9433271
I was thinking Rock Box, but there are some others if it's too crowded. I'm currently making a week's supply of curry so I'll get back to you on the details in ~1 hour.

Saw a Kanna cosplay. This is gonna be great.

>>9433337
Speak for yourself... sigh... saw a male touhou cosplayer. Seriously some people take their cosplay seriously not as a joke.

I don't know if it's just the row I'm in or not, but the badge pick up is slow as hell ass balls this year.

>>9433351
That bad? Also, what's yours?

>>9433351
I hope you are ready for this weekend because there are always a bunch

>>9433353
Really? Was in and out in under 15 minutes. Probably just your row.

>>9433334
Based on how things are currently progressing, I'm going to say meet up at Gameworks between 9 and 10, gather ranks and walk to Rock Box (20 min). It's a 21+ establishment so you'll need your ID to get in. They have rooms as well as lobby singing, but the queue can get pretty long so we'll shoot for a room. Contact me on LINE @ robdebob (don't have LINE? allow me to rescind your weeb card)

>>9433351
Is this your first convention?

>worse-than-Seattle-traffic badge pick up line

Why is the badge lines so terrible this year? It feels like i haven't moved at all in half an hour.

Badge acquired! Still gotta ditch my stuff in my room. But if anything is still happening and I'm free I'll come by and hang!!! Free to chill with peeps all weekend!

I'm really getting the Disneyland Experience here

I can't believe the artist alley is in such a shitty spot this year. My friend group is stuck vending in the basement lmao. We had one of the upper staff around and he literally said that artist alley doesn't matter because it doesn't make the con money. Did the exhibit hall really need more room for board game stores and merch resellers

What events does everyone plan to go to? I'm gonna try to learn mahjong this time and hopefully play some good vidya this year.

>>9433394
>worse than Seattle traffic
Three different people tired to merge directly into my car within the space of two miles.
I'll take I-84 over some Washington pleb killing me with his astounding lack of self-awareness.

>>9433381
If anyone's still down for karaoke, I'm at Gameworks now (second floor, currently). I'll be periodically monitoring this thread.

>>9433489
I'm at the restaurant under the Motif, down to get drinks afterwards. Might also meet up with the karaoke group if possible. I'm not downloading LINE just to use it once.

See my previous post about being in front of Gameworks.

Going to head to gameworks. Not planning on karaoke since I'm still recovering from a sinus infection but I'm down to get wasted. I'll be in a creeper hoodie playing games upstairs if they're still open.

There are officially two (2) people in the karaoke group, should anyone wish to join us. Blue shirt + white mage hoodie, currently on the Star Wars machine downstairs.

>>9433641
West German army jacket, probably right behind you.

No socializing for me tonight. Just finished unpacking. I'll be cosplaying Rashid tomorrow so feel free to say hi~

Still here at the Star Wars machine, we got three now

>tfw everyone is out having fun tonight and i'm not even leaving till tomorrow morning

Welcome to Washington! Where the rain turns everyone retarded!

>>9433709
I'm getting a reality check right now. I thought only Californians were fucking retarded when it rained and that's because they never see it enough to get used to it. But you guys... you have rain all the damn time.

>>9433712
We get snow every other year two, but come watch as the freeway grinds to a halt over a few non-sticking flakes. Seattle has some the US' worst drivers.

>>9433707
on our way, tall brunette dude and a shorter blonde dude

>>9433712
>Californians in the rain

well there's your answer. We've had a steady influx of califags for the past couple of years because of all the start-ups, tech, and bio-tech firms. Not to mention that seattle is pretty much a wetter version of the bay area.

>>9433719
Snow-pocalypse 2010. Good times, good times.

>>9433720
We moved to Rockbox since a car was about to be trapped in the parking garage. The guy is willing to pick you up, if you want.

Just landed and unpacked, any suggestions on places to still get food at this hour near the Grand Hyatt? First time here

>>9433730
i think we just barely missed you guys at game works, our phones our almost dead so I think we're gonna call it a night, but if you guys are doimg stuff tomorrow we'll be down to clown

My first time attending, will the line be even bigger in day 1?

If you see a guy walking around with a Wo-class hoodie, come say hello!

>>9433799
If you're talking about badges, most definitely. Get in early. Or now.

>>9434028
What time does the convention end for the day?

>>9434041
It doesn't. You don't have to leave if you know what stays open all night

SOON

>>9434073
Ok, I don't think I can leave now in the morning though, probably around late afternoon like 5 pm. Do you have a guess on how the line will be then?

to the guy who wanted a photo of the VK-catbikini-megamilk horrible combo, I'm arriving maybe 3pm? I'm there for most of the after noon.

other than that, what's your guys' cosplay plans?

>>9434079
Don't plan on going to anything that night. I'm guessing 45 minutes if you preregistered, 2 hours for registration.

I'm gonna be the guy in a REALLY BAD Gurren lagann I'll be there in an hour or so.

>>9434096
holy shit the registration line at 5PM is going to be ~2 hours??

>>9434191
It was an hour and a half on day 0

Day 1, 11:30 AM: Disappointment already setting in.

>>9434199
Why?

>>9434085
Wolf from PAYDAY 2, and maybe Anonymous if I fine the time to change into the green bodysuit

>>9434704
Where is it?

>>9434708
Either the photography corner at the top of the main escalators or the 2nd floor dining area depending on how many people show up.

Why do so many things such as the artist alley and exhibitor's hall end so early?

>>9434748
So vendors and shit can get ready to party! Ehya!

>>9434767
Speaking of, does anyone know where the Funimation party is happening and if you need one of those invites they hand out at their booth to get in?

>>9435024
I did not. I was relying on you.

Anyone gonna post pictures in here? I am stuck overseas for the next 2 years and am missing the cosplays.

anything yall excited 4 today

Watching that one anon's panel crash and burn.

>>9435359
which one

>>9435329
The overwatch gathering will probably be a cluster fuck

>>9435371
The new classics. It got scheduled during Zapp's panel so it'll be me and like 8 other people showing up to watch.
Honestly I don't expect it to be any worse than the 3D idol panel yesterday. The only way that can be topped is if something catches fire.

>>9435392
What. What happened? Was it super cringe or did they just not have the facts? Hopefully it wasn't just them not being prepared...

>>9435421
Mostly unprepared. The first 20 minutes was spent getting the sound to work. The presentation was pretty bad, too. Zero public speaking skills.

>>9435433
Aww that's always sad. Hopefully they learn from the experience!

>>9435440
Hopefully. They have a 2D idol panel on Sunday.

One of the instructors is a woman and I saw a bunch of girls in there. They're both really kind and helpful though and emphasized 2 me that the workshop is for is for all skill levels

Speaking of being kind and helpful, anyone got an opening in a hotel room on Sunday?

If anyone is in the blue exorcist signing line if you got cabanos to say it's Thursday in her filia voice on video I would be eternally grateful

Sure, let's meet at the arcade. I'll be in line for jubeat, green long sleeved shirt and blue backpack.

I'll be in a panel until 10:30. Think you guys will still be in one place by then?

*thumbs up*

How does the 18+ thing work? I lost my damn wallet with my ID in it. Is it a stamp on the hand or on the badge?

>>9435865
You get stamped. The booth was outside the main stage.

>>9435876
RIP. No Loveline for me.

Check the lost and found. They snagged my wallet pretty fast. They're stamping all day too

>>9435662
>>9435697

How many seagulls will still be wearing their costumes then? These heels are killing me but I want to stay in cosplay if other people are

Anyone know of any raves or parties going on? Asking for a friend for when she gets off work.

>>9435903
I won't be

>>9435737
if not I'll try to update thread

>>9435392
This panel is rad so far

>>9435945
It was ok. Too many forced jokes for me to get a real chuckle, but a decent time waster.

what are some good panels happening tonight?

Thanks for coming! It was our first panel, and I'm glad it was worth your guys' time.

I'm chilling out on the 4th floor as saitama listening to some sax music. Come visit if you're bored!

Monitor head with the creepy eye reporting. Im changing clothes and will be coming back shortly

So I guess the Gudebook app had the wrong time for Loveline (8:45 tonight in the Sakuradome), so massive epic fail for my night. Buying myself a crepe outside. A crepe of sorrow.

Anyone up for rock band?

>>9436126
I'm down for some! I'm in line for rhythm games right now. Are you in line already?

chilling out down by the cafe in a pink brown wig ( overall pinkness ) if anyone is here early

>>9436129
Oh shit an anon! I'm in the audience seating area in a yellow cardigan.

>>9436130
please bring food if you have some I'm starving but I have snacks

>>9436129
I'm actually going to go to the bathroom and then get in line. I'll put on my yellow north face so you don't miss me!

>>9436144
Alright, take your time. I'm saitama in the first row.

>>9436144
Hold up, yall got room for one more ?

>>9436158
Yes yes.

>>9436120
Ugh. Dealing with that myself right now

>>9436159

I do bass, with occasional vocals depending on the song. Is that aight?

>>9436163
Yeah, we only have 2 people so come meet the two weebs in yellow in line.

>>9436170

Where do you think you are?

>>9436260
I don't know, man. Only a handful of people are into it. A hundred other people just standing around killing the atmosphere. I had to leave due to the insanely low energy.

>>9436294
Maybe they burned themselves out like I did. Either that, or they finally kept drugs out of the legally-not-a-rave

>>9436265
That's what we've always gone by. I think what happened was that we were discussing rearranging panel rooms/times, but ultimately decided on smaller room but earlier times. Somewhere a message didn't get passed along, and... Well, you know the results. It's too bad but, mistakes happen. We're still pushing for 6C for all days.

For some reason though, seeing NOT ZAP made me laugh really hard.

Anyone still doing anything?

>>9436303
go to bed gull

I think I'm just going to carry a step-stool with me when I go to photoshoots. Climbing over people just to get a picture is ridiculous.

anyone meeting up on sunday?

Anyone know what's up with the police and ambulance?

Also, the guy in the skin tight body suit in reg really needed a fucking dance belt, I could see literally everything

>>9436316
The black guy in the white suit? Yeah, you're telling me. At pre-reg Thursday you could see his coiled-up cock under the fabric. Don't think he was the type to care, though.

>>9436316
Morphsuit dudes in general just need to learn how to wear that shit.
Spandex doesn't conceal, and no one is impressed by what's on display.

>>9436250
Siiiiiiiighhh missing his panel twice, truly a downer. Concert was decent, though.

>>9435283
There should be way more than that. Way more. They almost outnumbered all other pokemon cosplay there.

Yellow coat here. We're still in card game room.

Anyone want to drink? I have a bottle of whiskey that needs to go away.

Anyone still up? I'm leaving Sunday morning so I'm gonna be out until then if anyone's down to hang.

You just to know the right people!

Last chance to get your waifu at the dealers hall. Opens in five

Anyone at the j-fashion show? It's.... interesting...

To all the seagulls who played rock band and werewolves, thanks for making this convention not suck this year. You guys might be artificial friends but it seriously made my night.

Anyone doing anything tonight, or should I head home? Would have liked to meet more of you guys ;_;

Eating and watching all the con people trickle off.

Feels bad that I didn't do as much this year but at least I have tonight to explore more of Seattle.

Some photog getting yelled at by cops for trespass on 4th floor. Sounds like I missed the juicy stuff

Guidebook guide not updating for Zapp can't hold me down, I got the perfect gift out of this year

can't believe you outbid me
take care of that figure with care you lucky bastard

other than that, had a wonderfully uneventful con, and hope to see you all next year!

Another great year, see you all next time!

>>9437352
So it's a bad thing to tell you it's a birthday/Xmas present for my younger sister for the next year or so.

Sort of curious how much you went for. Was told that it was a minor difference but I was super surprised that no one bid higher than me, but sort of looked at the other bids when they were taking my info and there was a ~$200 gap from the higher bids.

Not that anon but are you a cutie?

Seriously though, I didn't see enough lewd at this con. In any sense. Fakku was nice. Butt-floss Poison was alright. That's about all I saw.

>>9437609
I may be, depending on your definition.

And I agree, but I'm not exactly going to proposition strangers at a con, even while acknowledging that they are probably equally perverse. To be honest, I really wanted to bind a particular Rem/Ram pair to one another and parade them around, but I didn't have the guts.

>>9437411
Oh gosh... I didn't think i was acting that thirsty...

>>9437617
That would've been hot as fuck, why didn't you say anything earlier? I'd have been more than happy to assist.

>>9437621
Not that anon but bah. I am way too perverted for my own good, but not brave enough, nor connected enough, to get into something like that.

>>9437621
>>9437626
I even had a full inventory of rope in my backpack, heh. I didn't bring it up because my filter is far too strong. I can't bring it upon myself to inconvenience others. And I wonder why I have no friends.

Tell you what, next Sakuracon for sure. Or maybe Kumoricon or that one in BC. I'll work on my technique in the meantime. If we gather a posse of perverts, maybe we can pull something off.

>>9437626
You don't need connections, you just need charisma but we're on 4chan so that's obviously not happening.
While we're on the subject, I spent most of Saturday imagining being dommed by that 6ft. Celty. I really hope it was actually a female in that suit.

>>9437638
Well shit since there's already three of us it might be more convenient to just go back to someone's room and fuck.

Until looking at the album, I had no idea what those letters could mean.

>>9437647
I'm definitely not and since you mentioned it that means you aren't, either. So if the last anon is also a dude then one of us is going to need to invest in a razor or 12 and start growing their hair out.

>>9437640
Well... It's not so much that. Like, I have a good size group of friends I go to cons with and stuff, just... None of them are perverts like I am. I really don't know how to approach someone blindly with something crazy lewd like that.

>>9437665
Join fetlife and find local events. There are a wealth of them in Seattle, and they're very welcoming to newcomers.

>>9437665
In reality you don't, that was just a joke. At least not in polite society. At an anime convention you never know. I imagine a lot of folks there are at least as dirty as we are and equally sexually frustrated so they might be receptive, who knows?

As far as actually approaching strangers goes, I'd just walk up holding the rope and ask like it's a joke. If they say no then who cares, it was just for a laugh but if you get a positive reaction then you're off and running.
This is all assuming they don't immediately sprint in the opposite direction and sick con staff on you.

>>9437665
Another anon here, we'll have to arrange something next year for sure.

>>9437674
Seattle isn't my home, unfortunately. I come from someplace very... Tame. It's awful. People still walk into our adult stores in shame.

>>9437676

Then we probably met and you'd know that I wouldn't have a shot, either. But if you approach it from a nihilistic perspective it's not really that hard.

I had an alright time at con. I feel like I knew a lot of people there but didn't really get a chance to see most. I didn't attend any con panels, just did a Smash Bros tournament and took photos, partied.
However, the weather was wonderful. I'm thankful for that.

>>9438148
I loved the expanded dealers hall and AA. I felt like there was more room between each booth, which really helped with browsing. Not to mention there just seemed to be more artists in the AA, so more opportunities to find the perfect merch!

Other than enjoying the AA, there wasn't much else for me. Didn't really like any of the panels and all of the panels I did go to were only ok at best.

>>9438148
This year was great for merch and cosplays, though I wish they had moved the date to coincide with spring break, allowing more people to attend. A more diverse guest list would be nice too. Fan panels were great, but there's always room for improvement.

I personally am unfamiliar with Miliyah, so I wasn't really feeling the musical guest this year.

I had a fun time. I was hoping to see someone cosplaying Wicke, and found one on day 1. I was also hoping to find Wicke art down at AA, but oh well.

The only cringe part I saw was two Dragon maid's at the photo shoot proposing to each other.

Pretty good con, will go again next year.
Please be more Wickes

>>9438844
>I wish they had moved the date to coincide with spring break, allowing more people to attend.
This is a terrible idea. They can barely handle the attendance as is.
Besides, it's been held on Easter weekend for the last 20 years so why change it now?

>>9438148
Not really a story but while I was sitting outside on Sunday morning I had a guy ask for a picture just because of my badge. Turns out he's a KOMO photographer so now I'm mixed into a collage of actual cosplayers.

Bought my first hentai at the fakku booth

>watched 2 teens approach the both
> both look just at 18
> they're both whispering about how nervous they are
> one picks up book

>>9438148
>Be me
>In my Anonymous cosplay for the Masquarade Ball
>Dancing with girls, shit was so wholesome and fun
>Suddenly Polkamon comes on

Many people on Facebook have talked about how it was a 'blah' con, but this was my first time back in 5 years and I needed a no-drama 'fun things are fun' kinda weekend. Money and time well spent.

>>9438844
It is during spring break right? Public Schools have their spring break coincide with Easter and Sakuracon is always Easter weekend. It would be too difficult to coordinate it with university spring break since those seem to be all over the place.

>>9438912
Is it weird that I never made the connection that the con is on Easter weekend?

Was there any better way to arrange the photo shoots? It seemed like a huge clusterfuck. This is only my second time attending, so I may be missing something.

Anyone have a pic of a kiki's delivery service cosplay? The girl also had the black cat in small cage.

>>9438969
i dont know what was up but i saw 5 or 6 different kiki cosplays, maybe its just a simple cosplay to do but i was thinking that there was something recent that happened about it like if it was the anniversary of it or something
