WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY GO BACK TO THE BOAT.

Why not go back to the sweet ass aircraft carrier?
Is this a renamed kantaicon?

I'm mostly pissed off at the stairs and it's pretty weather limited for good shots
I got some really good shots of my babydoll that year but the stairs sucked with a skirt and heels. It does say cosplay day so maybe it's not a full blown convention.

It's not. Apparently there was a family emergency with the con heads and the whole Fall Kraken 2017 got cancelled.

This is almost like a Berserk joke
Nice boat
I grew up in the bay, but my family had moved out of state by the time I was interested in anime/cosplay.
About to move back to the area for graduate school, can someone give me the run-down on this con?

>Convention started in 2013 in South San Francisco
>Got Popular pretty fast and moved to the Oakland convention center
>Also it became biannual so one con is in the Spring and one in the fall
>One year they had it at the USS Hornet museum for some reason
>Been back at OCC ever since

Should be fun - just don't be dumb and try to wear high heels. It is an aircraft carrier not a cruise ship.

I came to see the thread because of this.

Iowa daki...? like the boat named after the state or does it just have corn and pigs on it?

>I can only ever wear high heels with my fits!
Fucking casual
This is cool as shit and you people should be happy that this off-topic ass venue has presented an opportunity to increase your exposure. I would totally go this and pretend I didn't know that it was /cgl/ day to see what this stuff looks like in person.

Is this the one in Charleston, SC? Or another one? That was the cringiest con I ever attended in the 7 years I've been going to cons.

The USS Hornet is berthed in Alameda, which is an artificial island in the San Francisco Bay near Oakland.

We get it you wanted to be in the navy but couldn't because of your asthma
