Helpful Things For First-Time Con-Goers

I know I know... I never update this bloody account XD

I get a lot of messages from people asking what they should bring to their first convention (or to conventions in general), so I've made a video showing the most helpful necessities I bring to cons.

PS... I filmed this at 2am so every second word out of my mouth is "um" XD Also my vision was blurred so I had a hard time finding the cam lense to focus on XD

Bloopers are (naturally) at the end :P

[KuroCosplayService]

Thank you so much~ I feel ten times more confident now.. I have a couple questions though. Where did you get your wig cap? I got one that's made out of net-looking crap. It doesn't hold my hair up well at all. My head's a bit bigger than usual due to something that makes my bones a bit thicker than usual, which makes the wig not really cover where it's supposed to. Any recommendations where I can get a longer/bigger Alois Trancy one? Sorry for bothering you, but you give legit/amazing advice. ><

@KuroCosplayService I got my wig cap at a local wig shop. You can get them cheap on most wig websites and ebay as well. As for the wig: Val has a similar issue where her head is bigger than most wigs let in. So she purposly buys wigs that are much longer than what she needs so she can trim according to her shape. Unfortunatly I don't know of any sellers that sell wigs with larger cap sizes (though to be honest I've never really looked ^^; ). Good luck!

@nurfacebish Omg... Such clever wit I have never seen before.

Hey dumbass, I don't have a tongue stud. I have a permanent lisp from a jaw procedure I had when I was young. The room has some fabric around it cuz I'm sewing. Guess what? When I'm done sewing, THE FABRIC GOES TOO OMGZ.

PS instead of being a cunt and posting pointless flames on people's vids, maybe you should try other methods of making yourself feel big. You just sound like a poor desperate attention seeker to me.

[mavichaos]

@nurfacebish The pink hair is a wig which is something I give advice on in the video, if you actually watched the whole thing before you started to sass. And I'm no LARPer, so no I do not live in a fantasy world. I'm very well aware of my world.

And yes I'm such an attention freak, I've had this account for 6 years and have posted maybe one vid a year. MY GOD!

Look, your goal was to feel big about yourself by making others feel small, but everything you say is just a pathetic attempt.

[tegomassai]

this is so helpful! I'm attending my first con in april, where I will be meeting twin and nova, omg can't wait!!!

[FridayNightDldoFight]

Just do everything you always do. That means don't blow money for no reason. That's what I are the most of at Animazement.

[Tigerlilli134]

I'M NOT ALLOWED TO GO TO ANIME CONVENTIONS BECAUSE MY PARENTS THINK I WOULDN'T BE SAFE!!!

How can I convince them?!!!

[viliey31]

Great vid, and great advice. Thanks for simplifying it all. Do you mind if I show this in a presentation I'm doing? I'm supposed to help a local anime club prepare for their first convention.

[evabellgardens]

Thank you so much for posting this video, I've been trying to convince my mom to take me to a con, but whenever she asked about something I would usually just shrug my shoulders which doesn't get me anywhere. Thanks again! Now I'll know what I'm saying xD

[bluegirl995]
