I will be attending for two days, either Thursday-Friday or Friday-Saturday.

Any suggestions about which day to pick? Is the con already in full swing Thursday?

First convention ever questions

This is my first convention ever so I had a list of questions that I thought about with while I was at work. Any extra advice is very much appreciated

  1. Is there a specific pathway that you generally follow

  2. Is it ok to ask for a picture/how do you ask for a picture ( specifically talking about other convention goers)

  3. Do people usually expect you to pose

  4. Do people usually use tripods for pictures

  5. Should I bring a small or large backpack

  6. Does a water bottle have to be see through

  7. Can you bring outside snacks

  8. How much cash should I bring

  9. If the cosplayer is female, is "hey, your cosplay is really cool can I get a picture with you?" ok to ask. I know female cosplayers get a lot of creepy guys so I just want to make sure i ask in the right way.

Does the GWCC have microwaves?

Silly question. But does the GWCC have anywhere we can microwave food? My friend and I want to bring cup noodles for lunch but I can’t remember if there’s any microwaves around

Meet up?

Hey guys. So I was supposed to go with some friends this year, but the plans ended up falling through and they all flaked on me. I’m still gonna go but I’m a little bummed out about going alone. Anyone interested in hanging out for a bit?

Sunday

Hey, first time attendee here. I was wondering how the last day usually goes. I was originally planning to wear one of my favorite cosplays on Saturday, but there’s a photoshoot that day I want to be part of, which will require me to be another character.
Are there still a good amount of cosplayers around on the last day, or is it much emptier?

Questions

Hi everyone, I have a couple questions about tickets. I bought two tickets one for me and my sister. i was wondering if i need to bring ID for her since she is a minor? the website didn’t have any children tickets so I just bought two tickets, one under my name and the other under hers. Will i have any issues getting? It didn’t ask for her age just mine, she’s older than 9 younger than 14.

Allowable metal

Hi, I'm new to cosplay and all that but I made my own tail, I'm just a bit worried because the base uses a shower hose (stainless steel) though it's padded, i was wondering if that metal is allowed since it's softer or not?? It wasn't the clearest on the website for me 😭

First time Momocon

Hey guys, it's my first time going to momocon/Atlanta in general. I was wondering if anyone knew a good parking garage I could park my car at from Thursday to Monday. I am getting an airbnb with some friends, and we do not have enough parking spots, and I don't feel comfortable with street parking. Sincerely someone from a small town.

GWCC Questions

First time coming! We have tickets for Saturday and plan on arriving on Friday. Where is the badge pick-up located?

Also, we are staying at the Signia Hilton right next to building C. Will there be any entrances over there or will we need to walk down to building A to get in?

Can't wait! TIA!

If I want to go to the rave on Friday do I also need to pay for the basic entry for the same day?

Is my prop allowed?

So i will be attending momocon this Saturday with a RE cosplay, and I will have my broken, magless, and orange taped airsoft pistol in a holster with me. Should I just give up on bringing it or just check with security first? Its not a real firearm, it doesnt shoot, it has an orange tip, tiny, and its not made on steel.

General Crafted Prop Guidelines:

A prop check station is available near Registration for those with prop items. Inspected props may have a zip tie or tyvek paper wristband affixed by security around it to mark that it has been reviewed. It is possible that you will be asked to show the tie or wristband by multiple staffers through the course of the convention. We will take all reasonable precautions to not damage your item.

Oversized props that pose a mobility hazard through doors, stairways or elevators are prohibited. Recommended dimensions are less than six feet in any direction; items in excess will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Overweight props that pose a danger to persons or property if dropped are prohibited. Recommended weight is less than 30lb. Items in excess will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

Any prop, outfit, or armor piece must not be made of a material that can that can injure a passerby via a sharp edge, point, spike or stud.

No explosives or chemicals including, but not limited to, fireworks, smoke pots, flash paper, etc.

Objects that can generate excessive noise, light, smoke, or confetti are prohibited in convention space.

Props cannot be thrown, tossed, shot, or swung regardless of its construction and functionality. They must be under the holder’s control at all times. No exceptions will be made for boffer/LARP weaponry or sparring equipment.

Sports equipment is allowed. They cannot be used to strike objects while at the convention ie. hitting baseballs or slap-shooting hockey pucks; equipment must be held under control at all times. They are subject to all the size, weight, and material restrictions listed above.

Props must be secured to a costume or held in a manner in such that they do not endanger or entangle others. Be aware that the convention may become quite crowded and take appropriate precautions.

Do not point at a person or brandish the prop in a threatening manner outside of posed photos.

Realistic looking prop crafted grenades, bombs, mines (explosives) should have a strip of orange electrical tape visible wrapped around the body of the device unless it already has one thru the pin as stated immediately above.

Chains and ropes are limited to 3ft in length if they are uncoiled or used to attach to prop weapons ( example: kusarigama, morningstars).They cannot hang in such a manner as to pose an entanglement or trip hazard. They cannot be swung and must be under control at all times. Ropes/chains completely integrated into clothing or coiled into bundles (not hanging loosely) are not limited to 3 feet.

Chains cannot be of heavyweight metal gauges; lightweight plastic linked chains are available via a variety of sources.

Bows and crossbows can be strung but they must not have enough tension to fire an arrow or object with any appreciable speed. Bows should ideally not be capable of firing projectiles.

Arrows and bolts must either be completely blunt or the arrows heads be made of a soft material such as foam or rubber.

MomoCon takes place across multiple venues in the downtown area, including the Omni Hotel, Georgia World Congress Center, and surrounding spaces. These areas prohibit some or all of the following: firearms, metal swords/blades, all live steel capable of holding an edge (sharpened or not). Additionally the CNN Center prohibits face coverings (during non-pandemic times), masks, oversized bags, or large props. You may be asked to put away these items in prohibited areas, we highly recommend you not bring these items in the CNN Center as they are extremely strict. CNN Center is not part of the convention space and as such have their own rules and regulations.

The Doctor is in!

Hiya all. First time Momocon goer, and while I only have one cosplay, and it's goofy, I hope to see you all and give you an emotional support business card.

What does this mean: I will be dressing up as a Pokemon Professor with my faithful sidekick Dr. Sherbert MD the Snom. He wants you to be safe and happy so I am giving funny little freebies (meme business cards) to remind you to smile and enjoy the con!

Only three hundred were made, and there are three designs! Which one will *you* get??

See ya there!

Hotel help please!

Hello!

We were originally only going on Saturday, then we found out Micahel Kovach will be there everyday but Saturday!! :')

We are coming from Ohio, going specifically for Michael for my daughter's 12th bday gift.

We are booked at the Drury near the airport for arrival (fri) . Check out (sat) and drive near con and pay for parking for the day. Then we were going to drive back.

Now, we need to find a hotel on Saturday night !

The hunt continues. If anyone is an expert in this and can help that would be awesome !

We are trying to stay low as possible cost, but are flexible if its worth while.

Thanks so much!
