KupoCon - Toronto, Dec 3, 2017

[Carlie]

Wow those sold out quick. I'm most likely going having never been to Canada and all.

^I can confirm this with full confidence. Carlie's smile puts your soul at ease 'cause it's warm and infectious :properhug

<3 <3 <3

That goes double for you man.

 

[Ami]

So with it now confirmed I won't be going abroad with friends as almost planned, I'm seriously thinking of saying "Sod it!" and going to this.

 

[Channy]

Noooooo go to the Westcoast one instead

 

[Ami]

If the West Coast one is from April onwards, I might even go to that one.

 

[Channy]

Dooooittttttt <3

 

[Ami]

 

[Flare]

Do it anyways Ami <3

 

[Ami]

Holidays have officially gone through at work and just purchased my Pomtario ticket. Flights and hotel are coming next month. The next six months need to speed up now!

And I'll still be going to the West Coast event if Pomtario and/or Pomingham Palace don't destroy me first.

 

[Channy]

You better

 

[RedFFWolf]

Just to gather a rough idea, who here is going to Pomtario? And has everyone who's planning to go got their tickets yet? I'll be doing a giveaway sometime this week on the FB Group Page, so it'd be a good thing to take part in if anyone hasn't tickets yet

 

[Jason Tandro]

I really want to but I can almost guarantee that it won't happen because of general filial falderal which I'd rather not get into. Basically, the trip and expense would be too great and we have things to take care of around that time.

 

[Tennyo]

I'm going to save my money for Vancouver. I've always wanted to go there.

 

[Channy]

^ Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[Dawnbreaker]

I can't do TO KupoCon, sorry. :/ I can do Vancouver KupoCon tho.!

 

[RedFFWolf]

There's not many from TLS coming to this one, so does this mean Ami is going to have me all to herself?

What!? This is nothing that needs a follow-up of saying sorry to

I'll get to meet you at Vancouver, and that'll be all too swell


Seems a decent few from TLS may be going to Vancouver. I may have to have a TLS-exclusive giveaway for that one.

 

[Ami]

Ha! You wish. But seriously, let's bang, ok?

I'm actually meeting up with the Azzavhar Army bunch (he's a FFXIV Twitch streamer who was on one of the panels at MTP) and hanging out at some point.

If that doesn't go through, I'll just go exploring on my own the days before the event (I'm actually in the city from the Tuesday!).

 

[Ami]

So the floor plan and the preliminary schedule went live today <3

*lurks in the background*
As a veritable stranger I don't expect to meet up with anyone from the board, but um...never having been to a convention before and the fact I'll be in Canada 'round the specified date it sounds tempting. Or is a convention something you definitely need to do as part of a group?

 

[Flare]

Nah you can definitely attend solo! Chances are you'll end up mingling with people from KupoCon and potentially forming a group, I haven't gone to one yet (my first will be the London one in Feb) but it sounds like a very social convention that happens naturally and un-stressfully. So even if you have trouble being very social, I think the people going to even will make you feel at home. Or so I've heard!
You can also ask on their FB page or Discord for people to group up with, I mean I've seen others doing that in those places, where someone is attending solo and wanting to find a group to meet with.

 

[Mage]

Quite a group of us met up in London and we had no idea there were other forum members present until introductions happened (I can't shed too many details there as I was dead, lol). Keep lurking and I'm sure the fine folks attending would be happy to meet another TLSer when they make arrangements to meet up. Ofc if they frighten you off (entirely possible, Ami comes on a bit strong ) or you need a bit of quiet time, that's cool too.

 

[Soakette]

Interesting...considering I live just an hour north of Toronto. Maybe..maybe..

 

[RedFFWolf]

Yes, yes, to all! We must have more TLS faces

So far, there's only 2 confirmed, and I don't count for much, considering what I do throughout the day.

I'll ensure all attending TLS members are united among one another.

And for this especially:

Certainly not for this kind of event. One of the main draws of the event is essentially one massive non-pressurising-no-eyes-on-you, super-easy-to-gel-over ice-breakers. Because it's so specialised in nature (i.e. Final Fantasy), you're automatically surrounded by like-minded attendees and will find it real easy making friends (lest people get bogged down in love triangles and stuff ). Plus, there are plenty who attend alone, anyway. Chances are, someone may try to talk to you 'cause they've gone it alone

 

[Ami]

Not going to lie: I may seem to be a confident person, but I'm extremely nervous about going on my own. Not only is this my first convention alone, but it'll be the first time I'm headed to another COUNTRY alone.

But of course, if anyone's thinking of going, please feel free to ask if you want to meet up by all means. TLSers, unite!

 

[Channy]

Toronto isn't having a big turn out - best to save your moneys for Vancouver, Ames

 

[Shademp]

I watched this video on KupoCon's facebook page and I just want to let everybody know that seeing the TLS folks in there is giving me the feels <3 <3 <3 ;___;

Even though I haven't partaken in KupoCon, I can feel the magic emanating from the event. I can haz the emotions
