So, did they delete their twitter recently? I was trying to find their older posts, but everything seems to be gone.

>>10947009 (OP)
Try bluesky chuddy

>>10947013
shouldn't they update their website then?

>>10947009 (OP)
>recently
They announced they were deleting their Twitter in November and pulled the plug in December, but went full retard and failed to retain the handle name and set it to private so that someone else can't take it.

>>10947009 (OP)
>this butthurt over an election
LOL

>>10947014
only muskrats use Twitter anyways so it's nothing of value lost if they miss announcements. The less right wingers showing up the better peace and mind it is for everyone. Some of my trans friends were strongly considering not coming due to harassment and possible violence given from trumpets being pieces of shit. Blue sky or good bye.

peace

>>10947009 (OP)
I love sushi

>>10947045
>violence towards trannies

god you people are insufferable.

I'm excited for the Reol show, still wishing for TeddyLoid to visit since his show got cancelled during COVID...

I just booked a huge suite for Sakura con in one of the closest hotels.

It's time 2 party...

>>10947498
You see a post. You wonder who could be behind it...

>>10947498
any hot girls going?

>>10947506
Why do you know any

>>10947045
I'm gonna come and wear an ICE jacket.

who's trying to hang out this year? im gonna go as ryu hayabusa M 20 add me if u want friends (preferably nobody older than 25) discord:wheataboo

>>10947831
>preferably nobody older than 25
You're not gonna have too much luck there desu. This scene is definitely on the older side, including myself and AYRT (Who is not me)

Is it easy to fuck at this con?

>>10948075
This is the wrong place to ask, and not for the reasons you're thinking

bump

>>10947045
>due to harassment and possible violence

oh, and there was none of that before?

If I'm coming from Canada am I gonna get detained? I'll pray to daddy Trump uwu

tried getting a group from discord to head out ahead of time but life happens. ima see 2 out of the 8~ I was hoping to see. first time in Seattle though, anything to look out for in the area

>>10948835
Yeah, look out for methheads and dudes at the front doors who want to sell you their awesome mixtapes

>>10948837
It's all fettys with the bends now.

Take the lightrail to UW and check out the quad, the literal Sakura should be in full bloom and it's very nice. Lightrail is something like $6 round trip and a short walk. Save yourself the expensive CHINA tourism (Space Needle, etc.)

>>10948800
i hope not. im coming from canada as well and my usual con friends didnt want to go because of trade war this year

>>10948800
I worked this con two years back in late 00s (earned a trophy recognition that literally nobody told me I was even nominated for and so did not show up to receive it in front of a packed auditorium, and got banned the second year because they dropped a fuck ton of shit on my lap when I told them not to), and people were regularly detained at the border. So *now* I would expect a full crack down if you are selling anything or doing anything that can be monetized. Good luck.

>>10948835
Go to Young's in the International District (short bus ride, or a decently long walk across downtown) for some authentic century old Chinese traditional cuisine. Other than that, it is Seattle. Enjoy the hotel sex parties.

No time to make a cosplay this year and conventions are 15% as fun to me without one. I could have really used the break from work, too. I hope you all have fun.

>>10948835
Seattle Aquarium.
Seattle Japanese Garden and the Arboretum.
Walk the 1.5 miles from Broad St. to Yesler along 3rd avenue without getting jumped. You must stop at the McDonalds on 3rd and Pine.
Pike Place Market.
Mariners tickets are pretty cheap.
Eat burgers at Dick's at 1:00AM.
Eat fancy sushi at Sushi Kashiba.
Eat chinese food in chinatown (Tai Tung, Honey Court, Hong Kong Bistro, Mike's Noodle House).
Buy Japanese candy and drinks at Uwajimaya.
Ride a ferry (maybe see whales).
Anon's suggestion of the cherry blossoms at the UW is good. You can eat on the Ave (University Way NE) with the students afterwards.

You can add an ORCA card, the local metro transit card, to your Google wallet on your phone and use it on all the buses, trains, and ferries.

t. Seattleite.

>>10948925
>Enjoy the hotel sex parties
These actually exist?

Good to see an 'active' thread for a con that's still a month out

>>10948962
>Mariners tickets are pretty cheap.
Damn, don't torture them

>>10948962
>>10948973
He also suggested stopping in at the PVP McDonald's. The dog ears never lie.

>>10948963
At cons in general? Yes.
At Sak? Absolutely not, or at the very least not involving anybody you'd want to have sex with.

>>10948837
similar to LA then, sounds good
>>10948925
I mean there's like one panel I care about so I should work around that outside browsing the AA
>>10948962
as much as I like beisbol, they aren't playing during my stay. ill take all this into consideration though, usually like checking local food and having left overs for late night sobering. Also trying to find where the mahjong fuckers are gonna be

>>10948755
it's more than likely been amplified

cute sane seattle girlies... add me pwease (i am also a girl, can verify lol)...

i cosplay & like fashion too and i am not going to Sakura con buuut it would be fun to hang out otherwise.

pls dm i need friends :">

disc cancellled

>>10948962
No one from here calls themselves a "Seattleite", newfag. Consider suicine

>>10949212
hello girl lets hang out at the con (and have sex after)

Is this con fucked if it rains? You have to walk in the rain to go through the 2 buildings?

>>10949295
The whole two building setup sucks in general. I used to like how everyone hung out at the park, but it's a ghost town up there now.

>>10948973
>>10949000
There's actually a Sakuracon x Mariners tie-in with a unique shirt. mlb dot com slash mariners slash tickets slash specials slash anime
>>10949142
If it's food you want, here's some other places to try:
Tat’s Deli.
Seafood, from price low to high: Ivar's, Chinook's, then Duke's.
Ezell's Chicken.
>>10949247
You got me anon. I'm originally from Bellevue.

two weeks away

Schedule is out!
https://sakuracon.org/programming/schedule/

Any girls here wanna go together?

>>10949479
Girls (male)?

went to the naruto symphony and now super pumped about sakuracon.
hope my cosplay doesnt suck (it will)

I will be going. Hopefully I enjoy it this year.

>>10948856
Meow I'm in the same boat. Planned this for a year and I already paid for tickets and travel so I'm going alone.

>>10949635
I'm running solo as well. Doesn't matter much to me, though. I just go to take photos.

>>10949636
Nice. I'm usually going for visiting friends, but up in smaller cons where I know tons of people.
First time at a big animu con. Excited

only 8 days away, holy shit

>>10949301
Going through the panels I should have time for food here and there. Used to AX and ALA, first time at Sakura so hope its manageable

Where's the orgy going to be at?

finished my major cosplay work this evening.
of course our schedule changed at work and we have a major operation going on this weekend now.
i'm praying i can make at least one day, let alone two.

Well between the shockingly high turn out we had for Kumori and the number of posters here, I'm feelin optimistic

Do you think its a good idea to go solo if I have to drive 6 hours to get to Seattle?

>>10949785
yes

I wish I could go, but I'll have to save that for the next con.

>raves till four AM
Oh my. I'm getting hyped.

>we're back
The hiatus was kind of nice. But wow on that timing. Sad I never got to find any gulls.
So how was con? Any good stuff? Lame stuff? What were people dressed as?

>>10949981
I got the Sora Tokui autographs I wanted but unfortunately my friend got cucked out of his Reol autographs because of the lines.

>>10949993
Rip. Lines were fucked. I straight up didn't end up going to any panels, or really doing anything honestly. Just looking at stuff, and meeting people. Sounds like a failure, but I'm happy taking pictures.
Did not like the two building setup. I think it's partly to blame for that. Hotel was across the street from the fire factory, so I really only went to the vendor hall building like once a day

First sakuracon was a success, a lot of walking around downtown and hanging with the few friends who could fly out. It was a convention, but I think the new environment is what did it for me. 2 building setup was different, maybe again next year, but idk might just try a different con to experiment with. First surviving the ALA fire, now the Sakura Con fire/gas leak

I missed out on the cosplay sex..

>>10950000
I also missed Sora's first autograph session because I went to her panel right before. The autograph was scheduled 30min later and only 2 floors down but was capped by the time the panel ended. It might be because it was a joint session with Sally but Sora's second signing couldn't get through everyone that was in the second line.

this was the first sakuracon where I actually had a good time. I didn't to any panels or buy anything from the artist alley or exhibit hall either.

>>10950004
Ah fuck. That's super lame.
>>10950016
Erry nice.
See any super nice outfits, or take good pictures?

>>10950029
Cosplays this year were mostly good. My friends were dressed like Harry and Kim from Disco Elysium and they were stopped almost every ten minutes for people who wanted to take photos of them. I barely took any pictures sorry! There were too many children this year.

>>10950030
Girls dressed as the Elysium guys? Oh man I think I might have seen them.
Was gonna get a picture but I think I got distracted with taking pictures of something else and lost track!

My picture taking sucked, but some were alright.

Sakuracon was fucked this year. Still can't believe they messed up this badly with the lines on Friday, and then they got hit with another bout of bad luck with the fire on Saturday. Really didn't like how crowded it was overall.

done with the friday photos. working on saturday now.

>>10950139
I love you senpai

I think I have to get a camera some day. I had hopes a new phone would be okay, but I take so many pictures, and they just can't even compare

>>10949981
I didn’t like that they dropped the requirement for AMVs to be anime-only; I’m convinced it was because of Hazbin Hotel and how popular it is with the same people who attend Sakura-Con. So now you have Clifford the Big Red Dog in AMVs.

>>10949981
Con seemed overall solid this year. Lines sucked and hope they learn to just copy what Kumo did this year, but beyond that most everything about the con itself (within its control) was solid. Didn't do Touch Grass or Animirai, but Senpai Squad was dead and the music was just as bland as the last year or two - don't think I'll be going to that one again. But the raves were open late, Sonicboombox was fun, there was actually variety in cosplays beyond Genshit and Hoyoverse

New con center is spacious but I miss the park and character of the old building. As much as I'd love to have everything in one building again, it'd be a downgrade to completely abandon Arch

>>10950139
And there's the rest of the pics.

Probably attending Summer Con next.
