UNOFFICIAL MEET UP @ TRADER VIC'S
>TBD-AN

I've got a mobile karaoke machine and thinking of setting it up somewhere and handing out ribbons for those who sing. Retarded or not

>>10958675 (OP)
Feeling jazzed, haven't been to a con since February.
Staying at the ole Marriot.
Cosplaying a menagerie of characters. HECU grunt, masked mooks from Atlantis the Lost empire, army men paratrooper, and Teddy Roosevelt. Almost have the army men cosplay complete. Should be done by next week.

Soon frens, soon

>>10958734
I'm also wearing my new hyatt carpet themed Tina Belcher wed and sunday night. I'll have ribbons with me so feel free to say hi.
Especially if you're a certain someone with that spectacular marriott carpet suit. You know who you are

>>10958734
Sub-Zero wins.
Such is the fate for all inferior cryomancers.

>>10958675 (OP)
last year a guy i met at a con invited me to go to dragoncon with him but he never fucking opened my instagram message

>>10958759
You should track him down Wed night, kill and skin him, wear him as a cosplay all con with his badge, go home to his family and live the rest of your days as him.

>>10958762

Are you that guy that threatens to steal from people every year

>>10958945
Naw. Im not a jogger

>>10958762
He's arab and I'm white I don't feel like downgrading

So, should I host an organization Y meeting this year as well or nah? I know last year, there was an asian organization y meeting, but they tend to be asians only.

>>10959174
Do whatever you want big guy!

I spent my whole year saving up because I booked a host without the con rate for a non-refundable 4 grand.

>>10959196
Ok

>>10958675 (OP)
>FEELAN
Good, still gotta work on some last minute things for my ODST cosplay
>STAYAN
Marriott Marquis
>COSPLAYAN
ODST from Halo (pic related) V from Cyberpunk and a few others
>Unoffical meetup at Trader Vic’s?
Sign me up, I try to make it to that place at least once a year cause it’s based as hell. Someone in the thread take initiative, pick a time and day and I’ll be there

I'm heading in next Tuesday. Getting in at a good time so I'll be hitting up Vics that night

>>10958675 (OP)
Feeling exited, staying at the Hampton Inn across from the main host hotel, gonna be part of a Resident Evil cosplay group. We finally have every single STARS team member.

>>10959284
Maybe we can meet up and rub our armor together in a strictly platonic hetero kinda way

>>10959336
nta, keks good post

Absolutely blitzing a Paladin Leeroy cosplay that I only started on August 1st. I think I’m going to pull it off but it’s going to be a photo finish.

>>10959383
You got this! I literally just finished the army men cosplays for the con.

>>10959420
>>10959398
Thanks friends, I’ll believe in the yous that believe in me

I’ll be going Crow again (trying to perfect the make up this time) and Jinu with m’lady Rumi

>>10959451
Fucking legend. I'll keep an eye out for you bruh

>>10959336
You better believe it Doomguy! Totally straight and platonic armor touching. Come find me and we’ll take a pic together and put it on the thread.

>>10959479
My body is ready! Im probably gonna do Doomguy Thursday after I get my badge.

We got a cold front moving in bros! Should be amazing.

The craziest thing to me is that the Marriott Marquis actually has the cheapest room pricing of all the hotels, including non host hotels.

I may bust out Sean Connery from The Rock again. Can’t wait to see you bros.

>>10958675 (OP)
2025 DragonCon'r here.
Reporing In!

SKEW!

>>10958675 (OP)
Cosplayer without fear is ready!

>>10959640
But can you see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?!

Looks dope man.

>>10959636
YEEE
>>10959640
HELL YEAH BROTHER! I follow you on socials. Love everything you do bruh.

Two weeks worth of work.
Will finish just in time
DragonCon 2025 is approaching.

>>10959679
Hell yeah! Looks awesome man.

>>10959383
The armor is being painted now, this is going to happen, it’s going to work. All the cloth is already done and when I’m done with this last step I can assemble. This helmet was actually the first project I even tried foam with (there are 30 failed helmets in a big corpse pile in my garage) so I’m thrilled it came out like this.

>>10959728
Hell yeah! It looks great! I salute your perseverance!

>>10959728
GG!

This armor is also my first ever time doing foam cosplay.

>10959729
Thanks brother, love the old string parachute thing going on, classic.
>>10959739
Inshallah the armor will be ours.

>>10959756
I'm really proud of that, cause the parachute came together exactly as I imagined on the first try.

>>10959768
That’s awesome

>>10959770
It gets better, as my wife bleed her heart encourages me to do silly things. The results of one such encouragement.

>>10959791
*Bless her heart

>>10958675 (OP)
I'm driving in Wednesday and my cosplay's still not done and I'm stressed to death about it. I'm trying to do Char but
>3D printed helmet has been a nightmare to construct, the back fins are always threatening to detach from where they connect to the front segment
>Chinese site didn't come through for costume+wig so having to cope by dyeing a white shirt and pants
>the dye seems to have taken pretty well but the shirt and pants aren't really how they're supposed to be but the weird long tunic is impossible to find
>can't do the capelet period nor the neck filigree (collar isn't high enough anyway)
At least I've got the gloves and boots but at this point I'm not even sure whether to actually wear it because even if I do manage to get the helmet done in time I feel like it'll look extremely half-assed, but also I know I'll be missing out majorly if I skip cosplaying.

>>10959728
Did you do the engravings by hand? 100% gonna flag you down for a pic if I see you, that's gnarly.

>>10959811
Good Luck! I believe in you! I love Gundam!

>>10959791
King, I kneel.

Packed up and leaving before sunrise. Will be at the hyatt a Lil after lunch. Looking to snag dinner at trader vics.


>>10959811
Good luck big dawg!

>>10958675 (OP)
>UNOFFICIAL MEET UP @ TRADER VIC'S
is this a thing you guys do and if so how does one get in

I'm doing Llewelyn Moss Thursday (my friend is gonna be Anton too), Bill Dauterive Friday (doing that with a group as the other KOTH guys), Professor Utonium Saturday (I'm the same Professor Utonium with all the plushes of the PPG in the pockets at every con here in Atlanta if you've guys have seen me), and Sailor Jupiter Sunday (doing a group of genderbent Sailor Scouts for the Sailor Moon photoshoot).

I'm fucking excited as all fuck.

>>10959819
You wouldn't happen to have been to Huntsville, AL before, have you?

>>10959820
I haven't yet. I know Kami-Con Hai is out there and been wanting to go to that con for the longest time.

>>10959811
Can't wait to see a fellow Char Aznable at DragonCon! I'm personally working to finish my ultra last minute Gouf Custom cosplay.

>>10959842
Well shit dude, now I gotta finish it
Thanks for the motivation

>>10959843
No problem! If your goggles don't fit well under the helmet, do what I did and cut them into a sunglass shape. I also used a donor pair of sunglasses for my lenses.

>>10959468

Based. See you out there.


>>10959818

We try it every year but it never works out. I’ll be down there Thursday night at least.

>>10959811
Oh hell no, the engravings are layered with cricut’d foam. Definitely holler at me if you see me though!

>>10959842
>>10959843
Greetings fellow Zeekes

Greetings fellow Zeekes

Tuesday was pretty busy already. Hit vics, got a bit of swag already, seen old friends, made new ones, and gonna get on my cosplay today.
If anyone see my hyatt Tina please come say hi.

>>10959934
Sounds like a wonderful start to the con, just got in this morning around 3am. I'll be out exploring the venue today and getting the lay of the land. If I run across you, I definitely say hi. I'll be in an Atlantis the Lost empire cosplay.

>>10959943
I'll have a ribbon for u. Im giving blood right now

>went down to the wire for my cosplay
>doesn't seem like it's gonna work out
man
i know nobody's gonna kill me for not being in cosplay but it still makes me feel like a shitter

>>10959933
Are you going to the unofficial gundam photoshoot Saturday night?

>>10959948
NTA, where at?

>>10959948
>>10959949
Oops I mixed up the days, it's on Sunday 10:30pm-11pm. I found it via the DragonCon (offical) Facebook group oddly enough lol

(I'd post the link but it keeps getting marked as spam FML)

>>10959946
Brother, you still got time. Get it done! And if it’s not, bring it with you and work on it there. Don’t let perfect be enemy of good enough

>>10959842
Dude can’t wait to see the Gouf. Your Char was legit. Pic relatedvdrnx

>>10959951
Thanks! It's only the head for now but I want to eventually do the whole suit (If I can ever find time lol)

Who's this blonde succubus in the silver dress on DCTVLand?

Friends, I finished with hours to spare. I will see you all at the convention, holler at me if you see me!

Greetings from the “secret bathroom”.
Off the beaten path and the best Air Conditioning.

>>10959960
who let an attractive woman on DCTV lmao

>>10959971
It's DCTVLand so it's all old shit and very based. The guys hosting the contest kept commenting on all the hot girls and making jokes about how they wanted to have sex with them. The year was 2011.
I found the full video on YouTube hoping to find the girl's name to get better pics of her tits. I only found that she introduced herself as Gretchen and said she was cosplaying Vanna White.

Hey guys, I will be drawing cosplayers all weekend when I can, so come look for my sign. :) Completely free of charge, but you must be wearing a cosplay !!
(Ill post where ill be located when I find a good spot)
If you're from 4chan and see me, come say hi and let me know !!

>>10959946
>Order a leather coat from texas for a cosplay a month ago
>Should have been here 2 weeks ago
>Sir but the monsoons very bad delayings sir (its being shipped from pakistan?)
>Got here last night by some miracle
>Its 3 sizes smaller than what i ordered
I feel your pain bud, going to be the banana hat for me all weekend

What are you guys doing tonight? I haven't decided on whether I want to go to the Bunny Hutch or not

>>10960005
I'm going to hit up the up the writers track, and the meet and greet. After that I'll see how much go juice I have after stumbling around in my HECU cosplay all day.

>>10960005
Check out the games hall, see if theres any mtg stuff to pick up. Probably end today early and try the hotels outdoor pool

>rooms not ready

Fuuuuckkk I was really trying to make wrestling too

I'm about to have a snack and get back to walking around in my Futurama cosplay. Did my ff7 one a bit this morning.
Look for the tinfoil hat!!! It'll be my go to for evening drinking

>>10958675 (OP)
At the Bunny Hutch. Ears and cotton tails as far as the eye can see.

>>10960031
I'm gonna be heading that way too shortly
Got some cheap ears safety-pinned through the hat for my basic bitch Bro Strider cosplay, I look phenomenal

goddamn

>>10960033
What’s the line for?

>>10960033
I see 5 bunnies, why are wamen all so original and unique bros?

My real face calls to me.

>>10960042
>Why are there so many bunny girls the night of the bunny girl event?

I have no fucking idea what to do

>>10960051
you don't wanna see a triple double

It was worth it buying a multi pass for photos.

Enjoy your Friday homies!

>>10960069
Love that! Seen you walking around!

>>10960072
Stay hydrated boys!
>>10960076
It was fun waddling around in it. The Snarks were a hit some con goers and disturbing to others. Lol

Currently the man without beer

I know that the westin has social games on floor 14, but I'm not paying 10 bucks to play werewolf/Clock tower.
Is there another place for social games that are not the *official* games?
>>10959679
Wow that's actually really fucking good! The detail is fantastic! If I see you i'll remind you in rl yeah that shits great!

>>10960093
A truly sad predicament.

what is the best way to meet cute cosplay girls?

>>10960121
Go to the cosplay events for stuff you like or the horny panels after 9 pm

Cross dressing as Rumi today with my wife who is also rumi come say hello

Time to do edibles in the aquarium

>>10960132
giwtwm
I got in here and managed to crack the fuck out of my helmet on the way in so I'm just sitting at a wall and drinking while I figure out if it's still wearable or gonna fall apart

>>10960121
Cosplaying as anime villians and being drunk gave me confidence to meet a few.

>>10959728
I saw you last night! Your cosplay looked great. I wasn't able to stop you due to the crowds lol

>>10960121
Have you tried talking to them instead of aura farming from across the room?

>>10960139
You guys look so cool!

First Dragoncon and I lost my badge and my gf left me for some new group she got scammed and she is broke and most likely stranded her in Atlanta. She's currently trying to see what she can do to get enough money for a flight home Monday or Tuesday. I'm contemplating going over the edge tonight. I don't know /cgl/ but if you see a guy trying to jump the hotel roof or something I'm sorry...

>>10958734
Saw you going down the escalator in the Hilton earlier today. Your cosplay is incredible

Mariott floor stole my heart, best hotel lobby in the whole con

We did ktv by the marriott fountain, Catch you guys same time
tomorrow.

The Army Men cosplays were a runaway success. Holy shit did not think they would get the kind of response they did.

>>10960176
Also to all the anons I've met at Dragoncon. You are all awesome!

>more pride merch every year
>grindr gets deader and deader
make it make sense

If the Westin Starbucks closed at 8 or 10 instead of 6, the lobby would be the comfiest place on the whole damn planet

The $80 ribeye steakhouse has cheaper booze than the in-con bars

i hve been asked to leave the steakehouse and its about to be everyones problem

Going crow mode tonight. Call me out, haven’t met one of yall yet!!!

Best con of all time

>>10960198
Pride shit is manufactured, plus your city has a huge HIV problem

t. Chang

Anyone have a place to crash for a vulnerable female. I'm being pressured to do things I'm not comfortable with by my two roommates and I don't know what to do

>>10960225

Come to the crowne plaza/staybridge we got a pullout couch for you

>>10960226

How far is that from the Marriott Marquis. I'm not local. I'm from Mass. I can probably gps and find it. I will head over

>>10960226

I'm here at the lobby of the Crowne Plaza Staybridge. Do you have a room number?

Absolute spectacular con folks.
All my pie is gone, made new friends, saw old ones, and looking forward to a chillax day tmrw

>>10960231
Legend! Loved seeing you at the G.I Joe met today bruh

>>10960229

We got so fucked up and got back late im sorry I hope you found at least a chair to crash in

Do they just kick everyone out after 5 PM or will people still be hanging in the Marriott until Tuesday?

>>10960240
Checkout is noon if you only paid through to tuesday but I didn't think anyone actually stayed that long

>>10960251
It's a long drive back so I booked Tuesday too, mainly wondering if anyone will still be in the lobbies after the closing ceremonies

Alright gents, I'll be cruising around the last day of the con as Teddy Roosevelt. I'll just wander between the Hilton, Hyatt, and Marquis. So if you see me give me a shout.

>>10960259
Fuck yeah! I'll keep an eye out for ya. No tina outfor today. Just buc ees shirt and winding down.

All but one of my commissions told me this morning that they would need to ship them to me at a later date
Back home now and working on the plans for next years cosplay(s), no more banana hat

>>10960268
Im not giving it back that broke bitch had like a $200 limit on his card

>>10960268
>>10960272
I just hope this is just trolling and that didn't happen at all

Goddamn DragonCon 2025 was another awesome year!

hey guys i just got to hyatt regency when does the con start

>>10960268
This is why I could never into hookups/prostitutes because I could just envision one taking my shit while I'm asleep

>>10960239

Not that anon but I took a pic of her sleeping on the lobby so I'm sure she did in fact find a chair lol

Also had a nice chat with her she seems chill. Too bad I couldn't help her with room space. My room was full

>>10960276
as long as its not a literal streetwalker theyre pretty good about not sticking a shiv in your back and robbing you
t. professional con creep

I'm sore as all hell and sad it's over but had such a great time. The panels are fun and all but the real joy is from the cosplayers and the community in the halls and next year will probably have me spending a lot more time in the Marriott atrium just hanging out, I never get tired of seeing the stuff people come up with
Also to the other Char cosplayer from here your shit is great and I dream of pulling off the fit that well (and not spilling my spaghetti again), already got some ideas on how to remake the helmet

>>10960277
>you don't have to put your real first and last on the badge
Am I stupid bros

>>10960291
A Guild Wars 2 Char?! :D

I’ve long dreamed of making a cosplay of my Char main on GW2.

>>10960291
I'm sore as hell too, I forgot how all the different cosplays weigh on different parts of the body. And Monday night I suited back up as the Paratrooper and thought it was a brilliant plan to walk like a toy come to life. Then thought it was even brilliant to do the walk from the Hyatt to the Hilton. Good Lord I am an idiot. Each of you I got to meet was awesome. Safe travels lads, I'll see you again at another time and in another place. Bully to each of you.

Just heard about this. Anyone get some video of the sloppafag being rude or police escorted?

>>10960304
>Anyone get some video of the sloppafag being rude or police escorted?
No but if you look into her (oriana gerez) her socials have all gone private. he work was alright, a lot of the oil and watercolor stuff is fine. Screenshots of her socials make it look like she has a lot of actual work shes done and was supplementing it with AI for easy cash

What a fucking pleasure seeing all of you at the con.
Can't wait to see yall again next year!

Does anybody know who was passing out these wristbands / lanyards? Allegedly it was some Big Challenges cosplayer. Would love any pictures of what they were passing out and the cosplay if anybody has any! Thank you!

>>10960378

Was great to run into ya brother!!!!

>>10960378
You too! I’m already making plans for next year.

>>10958675 (OP)
Who else marched in the parade?

>>10960291
Thanks for the compliment anon! It's on version 6 of Char but I think I finally have it at a place where I'm happy with it. Next is finished the Gouf Custom more or maybe do a Rinzler or Trauma Team from CP2077 cosplay.

>>10960301
I loved seeing your cosplay! Sorry we couldn't get a picture together when I was fixing my mask. We have to get it next year! Thanks for telling me how you did the gold gilding for your prop.

>>10960440
We'll get that photo next go around! And no worries, always happy to talk shop with with fellow cosplayers.

>>10960277
This that missing girl?
that got posted on facebook?

The photos on facebook, look like a taller person. arms/legs look shorter here.
Person here is wearing glasses.

>>10960395
Fuck yeah man. Looking forward to seeing you next year.
>>10960409
Same bruh! My buddy wants me to do the miss Roper shoot. I have a few ideas.
>>10960410
Im thinking about it next year for the horror group
>>10960446
Loved seeing you all con. What a fucking pleasure bruh. The army guys were fucking legend

When will the host room regs open?

>>10960631
Probably a few months or early ish next year

Got a "Hot" sticker from some random girl. Does it mean she thought I was hot or was she just handing out stickers?

Anyone see and have pics of this cosplay?
