Have a Good Mall Con! | WeebFest

[@tysonfontanez]

just discovered this channel and have been skimming the videos and wow, you are totally living my dream lol. I live in AZ which only has two yearly anime conventions (Taiyou con and Saboten con, neither of which are much to write home about) and I've never really traveled much at all. Do you have any advice for starting to go to cons, or I guess about traveling in general (since you seem to travel all around California)?

well if your gonna travel, getting a friend to split hotel costs is nice. Always get tickets as early as possible, some hotels will give big discounts if you book in advance, most con tickets are cheaper the earlier you buy them as well. As far as researching for events, I use google, instagram, facebook events, eventbrite and any other website I can find that lists events and i just search through them periodically every other week, a lot of events will wait super last minute to add stuff to eventbrite. it also helps if you find anime stores near you cause they usually will do a lot of promotional events to drive sales. the more you look up events, the more instagram will push events to you as ads. it makes finding new things a lot easier. Another great method is to just look up the website of the convention centers you know about near you and then look up their list of events for the year, you can find some cool hidden gems, like swap meets and niche events.

@@EvilAniki Thank you so much for the informative response! I really appreciate it. I'll take note of your advice.

That Deku cosplayer was actually really well made! Im also a sucker for Nana Osaki, I’ve always wanted to cosplay as her. I’d definitely come here at least once, but seems like waaaay too many hormonal teens go. I’m getting to old for that craziness ahaha.

Great shots man! I was the sound guy for this and I also do the audio for Rosecity events. 6:08 is System Live and Naut and Kiki are also in Irodori Idols.

Honestly, I just went to Anime Night Mart in the same space and they did a better job bringing the crowd. I’m hoping they’ll make the Westminster Mall the permanent home.

im glad it went well, honestly, im near the sfv so its really hard to justify traveling an hour for such events
