>just over a month away >no thread Seriously what happened? I heard some BS happened last year but it wasn't bad enough to wipe discussion off the board was it? Just got my room filled and looking forward to it.

I'll be rooming with a few other dudes. I'm hoping to have my shit together by next week so I can finish my Kogarashi cosplay and tweak my GALO SENGEN costume a bit more

Damn did the fact they had ALA during the wildfires actually cause people to boycot this or did the LA gull community explode again?

I'm still excited for ALA, it's still my favorite con and I appreciate the chill vibes and the fact that people are very interactive and easy to talk to. Only downside is that if it happens to rain it does get cold as balls.

ALA needs to return to being a hotel party con. Have it back at the LAX Marriott, cap the attendance 10k, and charge $300 for a four day badge.

Anon12/28/25, 14:04No.10966154

It's dead because cgl is dead. Most people post are in their own discord groups now.Anyways what's everyone cosplaying this year? Any panels you are looking forward too?

>It's going to be a wet ALA with a rain storm hitting Southern California that weekend.

Anon12/30/25, 08:39No.10966256

Most of it is because there's no reason to look here anymore now that every public IP is rangebanned so every con thread dies while the con is happening, so what's the point anymore?I still come to this board because I know a lot of you anons are fun and still more quality than the fags who show up for Dealer's and AA then leave.

Anon12/30/25, 21:23No.10966272

I don't care what you fags are saying. I'll be liveposting during the convention

I finally got my computer working. The line wasn't too bad. There was a dude fully decked out in Haruhi gear and we talked for about 45 seconds. Seeing parents shield their kids from the J18 booth was funny. Extremely basado. The ballroom dance might be fun. I'm tired as shit right now from prepping last night but the quiet room is being run by trannies playing FNAF shit, so no rest for me.

Anon01/08/26, 22:44No.10966719

I really liked this woman's merch just from the variety of it. Or it's just because I actually know who the characters are and where they're from. Anyways I bought a print, which I never do.Is anyone going to the ballroom dance tonight? If you are I'll be extremely conspicuous.

Anon01/08/26, 22:59No.10966720

Another funny: The English Haruhi VA (old) bought and used a drawing of Haruhi that's clearly from a pornography set. I recognize the artist.

Anon01/09/26, 20:37No.10966777

How is it?

Anon01/10/26, 12:33No.10966808

Did fountain con get killed! after the slutty cosplay contest on Friday I went to last year's spot but no one was there

Anon01/10/26, 13:09No.10966809

Only went one day (friday) but one of the better "small" cons still around. People are friendly, the lines go quick, enough panels and industry to not just be a complete party con, lots of free shit to do, location is super pretty with lots of places to eat and relax, and the artist alley was absolutely massive. Also the bathrooms were clean

Anon01/10/26, 14:35No.10966812

i wish i could attend ala, magfest, and ikkicon all at once

Anyone down for a meetup on Saturday?

Anon01/11/26, 07:56No.10966853

I finally mite be financially stable enough to start conning again. All I wanna do is play some werewolf, eat kbbq, and drink some CONK! I've even got a group that I mite show up to Sakuracon with.

Anon01/11/26, 11:29No.10966859

I was depressed a lot of the con, my mental was not good. I am sure I didn't show it between friends but a lot of the time I wanted to break down and cry. A few events made me happy. I had a lot of fun doing some dtuff but my mental was not in a good place this con. I was constantly worrying. I still want to cry but I made new friends so I am happy I came. I'm saving my sanity and skipping

Anon01/12/26, 00:51No.10966887

Anyone else get sick? I was having a good time on Thursday but I ended up super tired on Friday and woke up sick on Saturday. Didn't get to talk to too many people this time around bc of that. Makes me kinda sad

Anon01/12/26, 01:42No.10966891

I like the ALA Long Beach con vibe. The con feels like Anime Expo in 2002 before it became a normie clusterfuck.

Anon01/14/26, 22:14No.10967066

>missed out during the LAX days >went through the Ontario days >50% on the Long Beach days Anyways how was it?

Anon01/18/26, 00:16No.10967188

What the hell were these brands and why were they there? It feels like they were scraping the bottom of the barrel for brands, I’m surprised ACDC rag wasn’t there seeing as they’d be in little Tokyo a week later. Even Venia is an outlier because their pieces are beautiful but I think local sweaty weebs wouldn’t drop $500 on a jacket at a convention.

Damn, is /cgl/ truly dead if there has been only one ALA thread this year?
