Who's competing?

Does anyone know what got Spooner kicked out of Hyper Japan, just seen his angry facebook video about him getting ejected for "one picture."

>>9563641
Came here to ask the same thing

>>9563646
I think we all did....

I swear the amount of clueless people who think it's OK to take candid pictures of cosplayers resting and eating increased a lot this year at hyper japan. I had to actually chew someone out after the fith set of people did it to my group of friends. I've never had to do it before.

>>9563641
>>9563646
>>9563649

He got kicked out for showing random people photos of him in his "body confidence" cosplay, his ass is out.
I know at least 3 people in my friend group who said they got shown it and made them feel uncomfortable...

>>9563641
again

>>9563641
Fucking brilliant video, he sounds like a Muppet

>>9563641
>showed people his booty pics when they did not ask to see them
>made people uncomfortable
>got reported and kicked out
>just made a live stream blaming it on his autism so everyone is being unreasonable

kek

>>9563658
I had someone do a stereotypical glomp on me. It was my first time in a costume, but I'm sure it's common courtesy to not randomly squeeze people?

>>9563658
so that's why he did that live steam, i was about to make a post to see if anyone knows what happened.

but my question is how many people did he show? XD

>>9563695
Did anyone save it?

>>9563699
the livestream or the photo?

>>9563692

They shouldn't have done that. You would have been within your rights to backhand them

>>9563658
I put a fan in front of my face because I was eating - they just moved around to try and get an angle where they could get my face.

>>9563701
Gonna guess the livestream, though the photos he was showing are on his Instagram

>>9563692
That's pretty dangerous - idk why they don't get that. You can seriously hurt someone

>>9563711

i would send the livestream but i think you need to be his friend on facebook to see it

>>9563707
>>9563716

As outgoing as I can be, I went the autistic route of freezing up. Thank fuck for masks.

I didn't expect to enjoy the convention as much as I did though and a shame I only went for one day.

someone PLEASE send the pic Liam was showing people

>>9563816

If they're the ones of his 'boudoir shoot I don't blame them for reporting him. They should be in the old thread if that's still knocking about

>>9563718
I think they're asking for it to be screen recorded and reuploaded for those who weren't his friend

>>9563563
Moonlily and Frederica La Noir are our reps for WCS this year. Solid costumes but skit abilities aren't the greatest.

One of my friends also go treated to seeing spooners ass
He was weird as fuck

Also wtf was the whole "queueing during session change"

And didnt see any massive change in how rude/not rude people were from other cons desu

Lots of nice BNHA costumes tho

>>9564385
I don't get why they have this double session thing though?

It's annoying how some are excusing Spooner's behaviour and insist his Autism is to blame and that he may not know social cues. He's more sociable than others who are on the spectrum and knew exactly what he was doing, many Autistic people do yet use their disability as a shield. It's nothing about his pride in 'body confidence' or sexuality, whatever the photo was, it was probably trash judging by what was on his now private or on lockdown second Instagram account. It was uncomfortable seeing it posted by him in the first place when he started thinking he's God's gift for being 'thicc', wearing a ill fitting swimsuit with everything about to hang out is distasteful. I wonder if LFCC and Kitacon are aware of things as those are the two conventions he's attending next.

>>9564435
oh great, he's coming to Kitacon...

>>9564385
>not going to McDonald's with Kurebayashi

>>9564466
(Seriously everyone just bailed on the session change and went to McDonald's)

>>9563641
He was screaming on the overground to anyone who would listen saying he'd make the venue pay. He even screamed so hard his eyes were bulging out

>>9564469

During his live stream it sounded like he was getting louder and louder at the station he was at, not surprised he went to screaming level. He's mentioned he may need someone to go with for LFCC after what happened at Hyper Japan, the question is, who would actually be his chaperone for the day? He'll wander off to go and loiter with other cosplayers who definitely don't want him around but are too polite to turn him away. Seen it multiple times at cons what he's like, he has no sense of personal space.

>>9564482
Do his parents not give a crap? They need to get something sorted for future events

>>9564522

Unsure, he's really independent in public so they probably think he's perfectly fine, but honestly he does need some sort of set chaperone, carer or shit even a decent friend to keep an eye on him at cons. One of these days he's going to make the wrong person feel uncomfortable and it'll backfire badly.

>>9564522
his dad die last year

>>9564482
Was it deleted? I dont have him as a friend but i cant seem to find his autistic breakdown. Id like to witness it.

>>9564482
Lol, I'm probably in the background of that video somewhere rolling my eyes. TfL staff were about ready to call the police. Didn't even realise he was livestreaming.

>>9564590

It seems so, I only caught a glimpse of it due to a weak signal. He was just too loud, at least vent somewhere in private and not surrounded by normie people at a station who may get concerned.

>>9564631

He's lucky TFL didn't get the police involved, can only imagine he would have had a further meltdown. Then again, maybe that would have enforced something in place to make sure he's not being a pest at future events.

>>9563686
>>9563641
What the fuck is up with Spooner? He came to our workshop and he was so lovely, polite, not at all creepy, then he goes elsewhere and goes FULL retard. I feel sorry for him but damn dude, stop.

>>9564733
I honestly just think that at any type of confrontation he just completely goes on the offence, and I don't think he really gets boundaries, which is a really shit combo

I wish I hadn't gotten curious as I scrolled past. I've truly seen some shit now.

>>9563658
A couple of years back at hj I was sat in a secluded area of the con way behind a pillar just eating. You couldn't have seen me from the main con even if you tried. Yet still somehow a woman leaned around the pillar, and snapped a pic of me while I was trying to eat shaved ice. I just stared in disbelief because it was so random.

This year I was wearing lolita and I didn't notice too many candids at hj. A couple of photogs asked, but on the train back I could hear a shutter noise behind me. Looked over my shoulder to see an old man snapping pictures of my back. I was tired and in no mood, so I turned round and focused my phone camera on him to make him uncomfortable. Seemed to have worked because he spoke to his wife and they quickly got off next stop.

Why was there so many fetish types at hyper Japan this year? Including the ott sweet thing with his backside (thankfully covered in bloomers ) hanging out and the French maid complete with feather duster.

>>9565555

He's the one who keeps butchering D.Va, now he's moved onto my second favourite.

>>9565586
oh no
i didn't even notice until you just pointed it out
fuck you for doing this

>>9565555
I posted in the last thread about this asshole and forgot to respond to anons that asked for a rundown. He's sent multiple threats of sexual assault/rape to female UK cosplayers, there was an incident on a UK selling/commission page where he was outted as having sent sexual messages to a female commissioner to the point she cancelled his costume and refunded him and he retaliated by telling her he was going to rape her at mcm comiccon.
Also been told that, while in one of his skintight d.va bodysuits he kept pressing his bulge against female cosplayers he asked for photos with, but thats secondhand info I cant validate that, sounds like him though.

>>9565740

Fucking scum.

>>9565740
Disgusted. But not surprised desu. Anyone who looks like that and parades around in a bodysuit with zero self awareness has to be a creep.

>>9565740
he's been known to post on here and try organise gull meets on the mcm fb page. Someone stop him please

Thankful not. She doesn't compete she just drops out

Dont get too excited, this isnt anything to sing or dance about either.

>>9566924
Is that ribbon used as bias binding?

>>9566924
Wait is this your work or Hollita's work? Horrifying either way

>>9566976
That's what I'm saying, I'm new to sewing.

>>9566984
yes because I suck at sewing.

>>9567054
Mine. I literally said in the post I'm a beginner at sewing.

>>9567070
"I suck at sewing" isn't an excuse not to buy fucking bias tape - it's sold in the same places and isn't expensive. You should learn the basics by looking up different cosplayers, looking up tutorials and guides and THEN start making things. It's your lack of research that makes your work look bad right now, not lack of skill.

>>9567108
I'm not denying that. It's a starters project, to learn from, not meant to do big stuff with. If I compete, I take something I'm better at.

In this case; learn to use fucking bias tape.

69KB, 500x500px

>>9567108
Of course being a beginner is an excuse to make mistakes. Everyone learns at different paces and usually by assimilating what they're exposed to.

>>9567111 but yes, look up bias tape. You can get cotton and satin (though satin bias tends to be less wide). You can also really easily make your own bias using an iron and bias makers of different sizes.

>>9567111
Even if it's not for a competition you should take time learning how to sew properly rather than churning out shit. You'll feel a lot better about crafting if you take your time and look up ways to improve now rather than winging it

>>9567117
You'd laugh at my very first sewing project, which I now laugh at too. It's not my talent, but hey I practice, I learn. At least I've already learnt to iron my seams and sew those flat when necessary. I feel better every time I improve on something. So yeah, thanks for the bias tape thing, because I literally did not know what it exactly was. I look forward on trying it on my next fabric project.

>>9567130
Bias tape is fabric that has been cut on the 'bias' or 'diagonal' of fabric and folded in a C fold shape. This is what allows it to have some give (not quite stretch but definitely give) which makes it infinitely more pliable for going round curved edges.

Here are a couple of methods for sewing bias binding as an edge:

Top stitching
http://www.made-by-rae.com/2016/09/bias-binding-tutorial-topstitch-method/

Understitching (you can also hand finish the inside/second line of stitching if you want to avoid visible stitching on the outside of the garment all together which is the preferred method for competition)
http://www.made-by-rae.com/2016/08/bias-binding-tutorial-traditional-method/

You can also use it to face hems like so:
https://www.craftsy.com/blog/2014/08/sewing-curved-shirt-hems/

>>9567130
No problem, if you ever need assistance there are always help threads too where you can ask about materials or techniques, and you can ask people in shops for assistance too if you don't know what something is.

And don't worry. You'd laugh if you saw my first sewing project too. We all start somewhere but take it from me, putting in research now will help you advance a lot. I never used to research anything and it made things much harder than they needed to be in the beginning

>>9567138
At least it explains why the ribbon was being such a bitch and I was just like 'I don't feel this is how it's supposed to be.'

>>9567136
I just read stuff too yeah. Which makes a lot of sense, and will ultimately be less frustrating I think. Heh.

>>9567141
We've all been there.

>>9566698
Is no one going to mention the wig or the off character pose?
This is a car crash, like most of her rushed cosplay.

Does anyone know any good UK sites to buy Love Live cosplays from? I've checked out cosplaysky and they seem to have reasonable prices.

>>9567892

No, but thats only because I know that most of these sellers are just reselling from an original taobao seller and jacking up the prices. You're better off learning how to use it and order directly from them. Cosplaysky are usually reselling the taobao seller Vivikaka (cosplayfly has a connection to them on ebay)

any talk about who is entering Eurocosplay?

So many events on the August bank holiday. Who is going to what and why?

>>9564862
That's one way go get around the plastic gun bans...
on the same note - I wanted to make a staff and was originally gonna just find a wind-fallen branch and use that, but considering that's solid and long - would it be better to just do with foam?

>>9568033
Needs to be able to transport, so...

As for your staff, what kind of design is it?

>>9568033
If it's a soft wood you're fine

>>9567895
Fair play. How likely is it I'd get an outfit off taobao before Kita?

>>9568064

I think I might know who you are... one of your cosplays a cat character per chance?

Going through taobao is risky at this point unless you pay through the nose for shipping, and even then it's hit and miss.
What I recommend you do at this point is go through cosplayfly on ebay and ask them to do a rush order for you, they're usually happy to oblige as a friend of mine needed one in a hurry. explain that your deadline is soon and ask that they help you with that, you should receive it within two weeks.
They do custom sizing as well and generally have a better grasp of what you want and dont have to go back and forth between the agent several times. From my experience their love live costumes are decent quality too, just always remember to stitch on anything thats been done by hand yourself otherwise you'll be losing buttons and so on.

>>9567929
Haven't heard much. Seems like a lot of the regulars are going to LFCC. Have the judges even been announced?

>>9568102
He's not a cat, he's a real boy

Thanks for the advice! I'll give them a message today.

genuinely go talk to Obayed and his girl gang if you're worried, he won't go near him. Obayed is actually very chill in person, just a dickhead online.

>>9568281
.......Wh...Why would someone post this?!

>>9568398
some form of voyeurism I guess?

>>9568281
There's a group of girls rallying to get him banned from expo due to his past threats of rape and then sexual assault at expo. Don't worry anon hopefully he'll get what he deserves.

>>9568443
Also if anyone wants to add to this, I've set up an email to submit anon screenshots/deets, just reply if you're interested. I think this is serious enough that he's close to actually fucking raping someone for real.

>>9568281
As expected of home grown vegetables

>>9568447
Problem with this guy is he has his own little female army who will kick off if he gets banned. He's lied about the screenshots saying that they were a troll on his account. But yea obviously we all know better.

Could you submit the email so I can send all the stuff I see I in his timeline. Getting fed up of seeing him post hentai (really graphic hentai)

I'd unfriend him..but..you shouldn't keep someone light that out of sight

Nah spooner hates him too. Spooner isn't actuallya perv/creeper. He shared his own pictures not pictures of other girls. Saw no evidence of him apparently taking up skirts either.

Most of the cosplay girls are obease/ugly anyway so who the hell would take up skirts

>>9569128
There was a photo after a Hyper Japan of him on his back next to the stage obviously taking upshots but of course unless someone posts it it's just words

But I have seen him after an MCM once where he was following a girl round the grassy square by the Novotel, she was clearly uncomfortable but he was looking like he was about to chase her down.

I really doubt this is up skirts. For 1 he's not close enough. For another thiers literally a crowd of people behind him... if he was doing that he'd have been told to stop. Lastly the girls on stage would not dance/perform if he was doing that right in front of them

>>9569201
I was literally there, I saw him do it, the girls looked super uncomfortable and then after he had left the area he was escorted out the venue

Anon, your health is more important that fitting in a chinese cartoon costume. Your body is still recovering, don't try and push it to lose weight. A few extra pounds won't matter.

So Tokonatsu is around the corner, it'll be my first time going. What should I expect?

>>9571647
Oh hey, it's my first time going too. I've no idea what to expect myself but I heard people said it's a good social con with decent drinking.

I'm looking to go to more cons next year that are more about the even than the sales

As I'm new to the UK conventions scene, can anybody recomend me cons that have lots of pannels on and activities for the whole day/weekend.

Obviously kita and sunny are up their on my list but are there any others?

>>9571647
Lots more going on this year than usual- usually at toko I just chill with my friends in the sun/games tent and don't bother too much with events, but this year there's going to be a maid cafe, karaoke, dance workshop- sounds like there's a lot more going on. Basically expect to talk to a lot of new people- the more you socialise at toko the better it is. No need to cosplay, most don't bother, but bring any fun card games or board games you have. The tg tent has an outstanding variety of games and it's a very easy way to make new friends.

Glad to see others having experiences with Spooner, just so I know he's not some crazy fever dream hallucination I've been having at cons.

>>9572855
Well they do say he is the Chris-Chan of the UK.

>>9572958
Chris-Chan?

Chris-Chan is probably the deepest people can dig for cringeworthy shit. He even makes Redditors look like they have lives.

Anyone know if MCM manchester will have a cloakroom for bags n shit?

also will we have any e-celebs like spooner or obayed or maybe even towers sneaking in?

>>9573294
Towers is banned from MCM, you'll probably see Spooner and Obayed though.

Spooner is at LFCC that weekend

>>9573294
Yeah they have a cloakroom there.

So any word about eurocosplay? Do people care more about ECG then?

>>9573210
Chris-Chan cut a hole in his taint and claimed it was his vagina.
There are pictures/videos of him masturbating using it.
Nothing is worse than Chris-Chan.

>>9568451
Don't worry anon, I appreciated this post.

>>9574260
j-just why

>>9572974
Isn't there an actual Chris-Chan reference in the new season? Like a crazy obsessive sonic fanboy basically kidnaps sonic and forces him to read fanficition and fanart, one of the lines is "Oops, sorry It looks like the arms aren't coloured in yet."

>>9574260

Ame and Aya, if either come back. Aya is more about the panels, Ame more about the events/balls. Kita is mainly a piss up, with the committee whining at people drinking at a con they marketed as a drinking con.

Don't touch anything by Anime League with a baregpole.

Who the hell is Candy Valentina, and why is she now on the cosplay scene with her shitty bought costumes, shes a model who gets her stuff made for her, quality is low tier, yet she has a massive following, end rant...

LFCC is in a few days....any big news or stuff about that?

>>9574989
Natalie Dormer still hasn't canceled. I suppose that's some kind of news.

>>9574888
didnt she win the masq at MCM May(?) when Sneaky Zebra were judges?

>>9574219
ECG is a free trip to Paris. EC is just London Expo.

>>9575344
I don't think SZ have ever judged at MCM, LSCC they definitely have.

>>9574888
shes been here for a while. she does a lot of modelling and shes hot. thats why she has a big following. i met her and her boyfriend last year and they were really nice.

>this weather

Is Toko doomed?

>>9563666
I love how I'm not the only one who saw this. Kek. He came up to my friend and showed her his ass. He's an interesting character alright.

>>9574888
She's actually really decent,met her during mcm few years back she's really kind and not up her self unlike some of the cosplay "models"you get.

Its funny how many cosplayers are now in a panic because LFCC has sold out of tickets and they hadn't brought them.

>>9575634
So glad I bought mine on time..

The WCS reps Moonlily and Frederica La Noir go to Japan today.

It's obvious we won't place at all though - at least they have people nice enough to make tshirts and care packages for them

>>9575634
where were they bringing them from?

why the fuck would anyone go to Liverpool and get stabbed by scousers when on the same day MCM is out in Manchester, 20 minutes away?

>>9576529
..Who cares if we place? People entering these comps do it for the experience not because they're dead set on winning. Theres always crying that nobody "tries" and that's true to an extent but with these comps people entering care more about having fun and making friends than being the best team

Post-Brexit it's unlikely we'd win anything at WCS because of politics anyway

>>9576529
Haven't WCS reps usually had tshirts tho? Or no?

>>9576529
It's hilarious there are people like yourself who still think people can actually win WCS. It's as political as Eurovision.

Any gulls at MCM this weekend?

>>9577081
So it's much less political than you think then. Glad we got tha clear.

>>9577081
What part of my post said I thought we would actually win? When we've even sent Laura and Lex twice with nothing gained it's obvious WCS has strings attached in terms of politics.

>>9577600
Laura and Lex had tons of issues with their skit last time. With those problems they wouldn't have placed regardless of if politics come into play for WCS or not.

>>9577085
I am

Is it me or is sunday unusually pretty much sold out this time round?

How strict are tokonatsu on tent sizes, we've got a 6 man tent for 3 of us but 1 ust bailed so it's only 2 of us going. They have paid for their ticket and pitch though but I don't want to cause issue if 2 of us turn up with a large tent.

>>9577624
They had problems because WCS and MCM didn't pass on any of the right info to them, probably WCS not caring about lower sponsorship countries. You see it across the board for loads of the lesser countries going along, there's definitely preferential treatment at WCS and the uk ranks pretty low

>>9579044

the judges are megara and the dark souls blondie.

thumbelina actually did perform were you even there?

>>9579044
>>9578985
That's Kyokyo cosplay, she is normally a judge for MCM masquerades though so that's probably why the confusion.

Interested to see the skit if there was one though I'm 95% sure it will be that scene Thumbelina has the outfit for.

>>9579128

Skit was good, fuckin shitloads of layers she had on. Shame I was retarded as shit and didn't charge my phone at 3pm while resting.

>tfw all that bouncy goodness when she was wearing that skin tight gown

>>9579129
yeah I've seen some footage now, pretty much what I expected for that specific outfit and I liked the light up wings.

There wasn't any major competition I guess this year, some nice leather work but nothing that really stood out so I expect the performance points made the decision in the end.

Did Amazonian Cosplay win at LFCC?

>>9579221
Oh wow that was spooner then. I thought he looked familiar. Started talking to me. Asking if my character was from Red Alert. Well...at least I didn't have to look at his IG.

And then there was Enja Cosplay redefining sandbagging. Great show.

>>9579242
What did he do?

>>9579247
Entered Loki. His ECG winning cosplay.

>>9579253
Didn't it come second at the same thing last year?

>>9579152
Amazonian was boasting that hers was better and that the other was based off hers. When the judges were describing the winner she was about to stride over.

My sides fucking split

>>9579300
I mean she's not wrong, it is better

>>9579300
lel, I wish I could have seen her face

>>9579242
>>9579221
If you mean the Loki in above, that's not Enja? Unless he's not in that group.

Wasn't Enja in C4 this year? I hardly heard anything about that comp or even the con itself (which is understandable since it is in the Netherlands)

>>9579278
He's entered that costume so many times now, has he even made a new costume since then?

>>9579339
He's in the middle

Looks like all the talent and originality went to Manchester this weekend

readingsteiner liked my cosplay, though won't be putting much effort into it at toko as it's just for laffs and drinks.
Getting into the spirit so to speak of going to weebcamp 2017.

>>9581017
Clothes is always a good one.
Wetwipes too so you can quick clean if need be without having to pop into the showers.

Did anyone else notice that there was an overabundance of bootleg merch at MCM this weekend?
Looking for legit merch was like trying to find a needle in a haystack this weekend holy fuck.
Saw one stall selling a clearly bootlegged Rem Nendo for 38 quid.

>>9568281
He knows one of our group and got talking to them at comicon and ended up following us in october (When he was in his DV8 suit)

We went to a place near the fox and ordered food.... all except him because he looked at the menu and went "Nah this is too expensive" and just sat there while we ate.....

Like, solid hour in this place and he didn't do anything but sit there.

Pretty much, Just go for the shit you can't really get otherwise from the actual dealers, like I recall rice digital sold parts of various collectors editions and sold t-shirts that they don't have on the online store.

Everything else just buy from nipland if you really want it.

>>9581017
Wellies
Torch
Slippers/sandals in case you need to piss in the middle of the night
Some kind of standing/hanging lamp for your tent
Something for bug bites


There's a little village shop within ten minutes walk and people regularly drive to tesco

wanking

Chippy round the corner as well if you don't want to pay loads of money. I'd bring a camping chair as well.

So there were death threats to artists and stars at LFCC. The most worrying thing is that there were almost no bagchecks. At MCM I can't get in without having everything checked. LFCC didn't even bother to try and check me until I put my bag voluntarily on the desk because I was very aware of the fact that the rifle I took with me could look real to others.

They were very lax, and then you've got actual madmen in who want to kill a comic artist and due to the artist not being at the table, he said he'd go and find Cumberbatch instead.

Come on LFCC, up your security game! A snifferdog is useless if the staff doesn't want to do anything.

>>9582258
Did this happen on the Saturday? On Saturday I put my open bag on the desk and the guy didn't even look down before waving me through. On the Sunday I had a suitcase and got the full sniffer dog and taking things out of my bag so they could get to the bottom treatment so I wonder whether they stepped it up or if it was just luck.

>>9582316

Yup. To be honest I feel as though I should be more worried about the people actually going in there looking to read it, or even bothering to read it in the first place. We all know they're full of writers whose parents didn't hug them enough as children.

Toko soon lads.

Packed wellies and enough booze to black out the memory of the bastard wasps?
Who's going for the pizza gash this year?

>>9582452
Need to buy some wellies like. What's the weather supposed to be like for the weekend?

>>9582467
So far, cloudy with a chance of showers.

>>9582471
Sort of like that last year iirc. Maybe we can pray the wasp away?

>>9582498
Oh no, that reminds me of Wasp-con which hopefully Kita won't become

>>9582452
Just got some local made vodka, just need the boots.
Also need to print everything out for bring n buy tomorrow too.

>>9582285
Saturday yeah

>>9582452
I've got some Stella from Morrisons and some rum and coke mate. Should be sorted for weekend hopefully.

>>9581017
>>9581108
>>9582452
Are some Wellies that needed I get it's going to be wet but is the ground that wet? I don't really have anything like that other than perhaps some old boots or my workboots?

And wasps too, are they really bad? Should I look at getting some bugspray or a wasp trap or something for the tent or are they just an occasional sight. Shit I didn't even think of this sort of thing.

So far I've got clothes, tent/sleeping junk, a torch/lanterns, a few powerbanks for phones, washing stuff, a fold out table and chairs, basic shit like asprin and plasters, bottles of water, bin-bags and stuff, a couple small bins, getting booze tommorow a bottle of sambuca and jaeger and a couple crates of cider, maybe some sours plus whatever my buddy brings, not sure what the drinking environment is like so maybe this is overkill.

What is the food situation like, I know we can't cook jack ourselves but are there food cars during the day and that sort of thing or should we hoard snacks in the tent to for fuel.

Also, what time do we arrive for the Thursday early check in, I can't see it anywhere but I assume it's like noon I guess?

Are showers accessible? With a fairly sized event I'm wondering what the brawl for em is going to be like.

Going to bring a few board games that we might bring stuff like Barbarossa the Loli Nazi Deckbuilding game to Boss Monster. A couple decks of standard playing cards, and Drinking-Jenga, which is pretty self explanatory and a great party piece. Wonder if it's worth making a new set with some weeaboo themed pulls just for Toko.

Anything else that idiots forget that should be obvious?

>>9583150
It's a field. When it rains it gets muddy. You should probably get some wellies. Wasps can be awful but so long as people don't leave their rubbish around or spill alcohol they can be dealt with.
Food vans on site for food and a pub and chippy round the corner. Plus the big tesco within driving distance if you have a pal with a car.
There are enough showers that you can just queue up for one unless you're super unlucky.
The website states that early entry grants you:

Permission to arrive on-site starting from 1700 BST on Thursday 3rd August 2017.

So I wouldn't recommend arriving at noon unless you want to acquaint yourself with the surroundings.

>>9583269
Thanks, couldn't find an exact time when I was looking myself.

Food vans and a chippy sound satisfactory.

Sucks about the wasps, I fucking hate flying bastards.

I'll have to look for some decent boots or wellies later today then.

anons offer help
ignores them to continue to be sad

/cgl/ a wonderful place

so is there a /cgl/ meet at kita planned?
I want to make some degenerate friends ;_;

>>9586917
We'll put one together closer to the time, probably on the steps one evening

>All of this rain

Can't have good weather every year ;-;

>>9586902
Haha, I'm ok dude. Being lonely is dull, but I'd hate to be a burden on strangers. I did think it was extremely kind of those anons to offer though. I was just pointing out that I'm finding it harder to approach strangers here than I would a regular con at a bar or something.

Tachibana shrine fell to the great winds but the Bonsai remains undeterred.

Cheeki hint, order pizza from pizzagogo

Really was incredible

Also isn't Hibanacon just Kita but a bit harder to get to

Tachibana got Dumbledored at the last second.

Go orange tigers.

>>9587950
Made me realise just how bad I am at small talk. I really need to get around to talking to people outside my designated friend group.
But its been pretty fun, lipsync was MVP.

The key difference is that hibanacon is actually an anime convention

>>9588957
Well have to try harder next year and put the Phoenix down for good. The house stuff was actually pretty fun and interesting looking forwards to next year toko.

Good show Red. House leader was a Qt in the Taira Samurai cosplay too.

Sigh. Regular as clockwork, SZ doing their...attention seeking, feel sorry for me status. Money grabbing ungreatful duo who gets famous by taking your money, getting free trips paid for Crunchy Rolls across the country. They are so transparent I really dont get why you all think theyre amazing.

>>9589592

Like, I'm no SZ fan but I can't see any attention seeking post in the past few days on their FB or Twitter....

What do you think the amecon announcement will be? New smaller location hopefully

Red leader was so cute! She was kind of socially awkward which added to her appeal.

>No space for big bags so I have to sit near the doors with it

Not going to be a good journey tbqh lads

>>9589620

Back the to Britannia lads!

>>9589620
Why smaller? They just moved to Aya's venue, let's face it, it's the only decent venue in UK.

I mean Amecon is no Ayacon, but it's the nearest thing we've got.

>>9589597
what about their personal accounts?

>>9589620
>wanting to move away from Warwick
Literally why

>>9589597
It's on his personal ac. Translates as, I can't get free trips, need to beg for more. Everyone please donate me more money so I can enjoy more holidays abroad at your expense.

I fail to see what SZ actually bring to the community to warrent funded.

They don't do anything which already other people do for free and out of their own pocket. Move along, times changed. Give up and get a real job and stop freeloading. Zero respect for people like them.

I used to like their CMVs but since they thought they could get invited places and now make them feel like they are suddenly worth something.

With that post Nick made it feel like he just doesn't want to be only making CMVs and because he hasn't gotten any traction on his original series or director endeavors he's having a "woe is me" moment.

I'm not a fan of the guys work but his post is something that I'd akin more for an actual cry for help rather than a "waaaah my skills deserve recognition, pay me what I'm worth" post, which is the vibe I ALWAYS get when they tweet companies begging for work.

>Implying the Britannia wasn't the best con venue we've ever had

>>9590771
A friend in Notts said that they finally replaced the H on the sign. It's no longer the Otel.

You want to start a petition to get amecon to go back there? With the H on the front, it's a whole new hotel

so how's things been lately? doesn't sound like there was any big drama from lfcc or mcm manchester last week. what about this latest weekend?

10 days till Kita. who prepped. who [worried].

cosplays are 95% done. prob the most prepared I've been for a con in a long time, but I know something's gonna fuck up at the last minute.

>>9591455
I'm just still kind of shocked that I got a room in Bluebell for the weekend really
