Happy New Year - 2024!!
Hope you’re all able to eat well, spend your money responsibly, and plan your resolutions.
So get ready for…
The Anime Los Angeles Newgrounds Meet-Up!!
Your hosts:
Mina - @Xeno-Cowboy (Cosplaying as Nono)
Vicky - @QueenBoo (Cosplaying as Gogo)
Art & characters belong to animator @Speedo respectfully.
Who:
All ages are welcome!
While this is a con gathering, the space itself is off the grounds and doesn't require a pass, so don't be shy and swing by even if you're not attending the con!
When/where:
January 5th, 2024 - Friday - 5:00pm PST / Day 2 of Anime Los Angeles
@ the Long Beach Convention Center.
300 E Ocean Blvd,
Long Beach, CA 90802
Get your tickets here if you want to explore the convention before the meetup!! <3
If you want to attend the whole weekend, that’s up to you!
Please remember that January 5th [Friday] is the meetup day if you want to participate!
Location (gathering map pictured):
This will take place in gathering space 2, on the Rainbow Lagoon Lawn!
It's a short walk from the con center on the opposite side of the Hyatt Regency a bit past the swan boats.
What:
A fun little get together to celebrate NG and its properties, especially if you're a cosplayer!
Costumes are not a necessity and you absolutely don't need one to attend, but those of you who do cosplay- we’re expecting you to show up in your Sunday best!! <3
Those who plan on cosplaying, here’s some examples for inspiration!!
Cartoons
Games
Newgrounds Staff
AND MORE!!!
Even if you cosplay canon characters that are apart from original characters, Newgrounds is infamous for parodies of everything AND anything (Example, White-Rice07109’s Super Smash Sisters & Speedoru’s Disgraced Attorney), so go right ahead and emulate your best!
It will slightly get darker to dark around 5:00, so if you’d like, add some lights to your cosplay!!
The plan we have set is to treat the first bit like a regular cosplay gathering (running through the series/characters that show up, ending on a group pic of all our lovely cosplayers), and then devolve into a more traditional NG meet!
Meetup Etiquette:
- Do remember this is going to be in a space designated by the con for gatherings.
- Please be respectful of any possible ones that may occur directly before or after.
- Try not to spill out on the path too much so other attendees can walk by!
- It should be a given, but please be respectful amongst another.
@Xeno-Cowboy will update once the complete gathering list is available, but I really doubt there will be one after us, in which case we're free to loiter around after the gathering "officially" ends :]
Giveaways!!
As a special exclusive thank you for attending the meetup,
You could be receiving…
ALA is a ribbon badge con so @Xeno-Cowboy will have some ribbons to give out (& maybe some stickers as well).
