But they play more paramore, but always end on blackparade

American cons with attached hotels being considered normal is so weird for us Europeans. Doing 1h of transportation to get to a con each day is normal for me in France and Germany

Canadian here, calgaryian to be exact. Not a single convention here has an attached hotel. Heck our big anime convention used to be at a university, with all the hotels a full train station away ... like it's not walkable at all.

same here in London! there are UK cons held in hotels but they tend to be much smaller and more exclusive, and even when there are hotels right be the venue they are ridiculously expensive

Same! There's a con that gets done at my local library, so that's a thirty minute bus ride from home, but then the big cons are both a train ride away. The one has an electric train that gets me there in half an hour and the convention center is literally across the street from the train station, the other is still a diesel train that gets me to where I need to go in 45 minutes and after that is a fifteen minute walk to the school that hosts the con. (Yes schools host cons here, it's not weird.)

I've grown to love the "public transport ride of shame" to and from conventions. On the train with half of a cosplay together with people on their way to work is amazing. Actually, on our way back from Dokomi I saw clearly-dokomi-cosplay people for hundreds of kilometers across europe for three days travelling until after the convention. It's wild.

I didnt do the little funny awards for this one, but if i had youd have gotten "Best Bias Tape"

I really think anime cons really need to take a page from the furry con I go to. It has an attached hotel sure but it normally sells out in like 10 minutes and it has con booking space in like 10 other hotels. And the cool part? Because its in the middle of summer in big heavy fursuits, they have a shuttle service that is on a constant round trip of picking up people and dropping them at the con. Like three separate lines that are color coded for certain hotel blocks, so you are not giving people heat stroke in the summer walking to and from the convention center. And especially with venues like this that do no have attached hotels and are in the middle of summer in the southern usa, a provided by the con shuttle service for cosplayers would be a godsend.

I feel you! First time going to MCM London I had to get 1. A near 2 hour train ride into London King's Cross from my tiny rural town, then the tube and the lizzy line was down so it would normally take ~ half an hour, took a whole hour, in a full bowsette cosplay with wig, crown and shell (no tail unfortunately though ill probably make one when I repaint my bowser shell) through all of London. Those in the states have no idea how lucky they are lol

In October I went to St James’ Park in full cosplay (Aziraphale) and past Buckingham Palace to get back to the train and IT WAS FULL OF TOURISTS AND NO WHERE NEAR THE CON so so awkward. Tomorrow is my first time getting the train alone in cosplay💀

Me and my friends went to our first con back in March (Orlando Megacon anyone?) and I remember some of the looks we got living our hotel at 6am and getting Mcdonalds drive thru breakfast in our cosplays. Then at the end when we left the con my friend had a spare set of clothes so he can change out, so I ended up eating at a Cracker Barrel dressed as Childe from Genshin until we got back. I stood out like a sore thumb...

This is the London MCM experience LOL. Sitting on those trains in Honey Senpai was truly an experience.

It’s so cool to see that cosplays that may look “simple” to an untrained eye (like the Alice one; btw one of my favourite games ever) can still hide so much craftsmanship and can stand together with those costumes that look way more detailed an elaborated (like the skeleton one). As an amateur, I’d think those more detailed and intricate ones would automatically score higher, but it just shows that a lot of work that goes into cosplay goes unnoticed. As I’m slowly learning to do my own cosplays (starting with wig styling for now), I also learn to appreciate all of the work that gets overlooked a lot, and Sarah really helps me learn so much about the craftsmanship, skill and knowledge of this wonderful hobby 😊❤ P. S.: EMO RAVE!?!? THAT SOUNDS AMAZING, IM SO JEALOUS XD

I think I've seen someone else mention it before, but in Europe we don't have attached hotels at all, and some cosplayers don't even buy tickets for some conventions and just stay outside in the attached parks or gardens all day! It's definitely a thing to get used to, if you're used to being inside a building all day. I'd love to attend a US con someday, just to see how different of an experience it really is having to not go outside at all!

Miami's longitude is on par with middle of Egypt/Libya/Algeria, and Georgia isn't much better- you could probably get away with camping in the upper US (Paris, France latitude) but it's a very humid heat down here which just hits different :/

Tbr i think just showing people hiw to thread a machine is kinda magic. I went from useing a 1970 brother to a modern sewing machine and useing a top loading bobbin blew my lid clean back! It was so easy! I hated puttjng the bobbin in my old machine 😢

I have to say, I really like the fact the judge's awards were given as a "best of (vocation)" award. I think, as a cosplayer who has competed, the sound of that feels a lot better than just a judge's award! it would make me feel like I really excel in whatever style my cosplay was made in. And I have to say, thank you for this video. Tomorrow I am going into my first craftsmanship contest in 5 years. I have never won a cosplay award before, and I'm hoping tomorrow that changes. I worked really hard on my build book but ended up being extremely self conscious about my cosplay since it looks very "simple", despite the fact that I have carefully hand drafted the entire cosplay and didn't use any trim or bias tape I didn't make myself. I was feeling like my cosplay wouldn't be able to measure to others who have access to more space and tools than I do since it's just my sewing machine, serger, and iron (I lack any embroidery or cricut machine). It was really affirming to hear someone recognize sewing skill in the way you did. I feel a lot better about going into judging tomorrow! Thank you so much.

I feel the pain of no attached hotel... because NYCC doesn't have one and it's always an adventure to get there not only in one piece, but emotionally okay. I dressed as Psylocke one year and I've never gotten more unwanted comments on my butt than I did walking to the con. But also, I wore Katniss Everdeen's wedding dress the last time I went and EVERYONE kept congratulating me while I walked. Um Thank you? It's always nice to have a hotel attached... that's why C2E2 will always be my favorite!

It’s my dream to have a con attached to an hotel. French cosplayer here and it’s always so hard to find a place to sleep when i plan to go to a con 😭

So funny hearing you talk about hotels not being attached and long walks in the heat! Here in the southwest, that's the case for all of our cons - when we compete, we just hope the whole cosplay doesn't melt off our body before our performance. 😂

The Xie lian cosplay was so beautiful ❤️!!

Not having an attached hotel is such a blow to people who have to navigate chronic illness or mobility issues. I hope the con moves to a better location some day because of that among other reasons. Its also A LOT to ask cosplayers with elaborate or large costumes to navigate unfamiliar public transportation, especially in packed busses where there is not space for your floor to head wings etc.

this is hella late 💀 but i just realized i was front row for that contest and saw you!! i started ranting about how cool u are to my dad and we both ended up fangirling the rest of our little lunch break 😂

In the middle of rewatching a ton of videos while crunching my Ariel cosplay for Fan Expo and now I have another to add to the list!

I absolutely loved these cosplays, but would’ve been sooooo happy if Xie Lian cosplay won because it was SOOOOO PRETTY and I wonder what was “wrong” about this cosplay, because it looks like it was a lot of hard work and it was my personal favourite.

I dont know if youll see this but i just wanted to say thank you sarah, you inspire me so much and i love watching your videos while i work on my cosplays!

I'm going to be going to my first con this May. Making Sophie from Howl's moving castle, it'll be the first costume I ever sew and I'm so excited!!

This makes me miss cons... I was at my first big convention this summer and it was amazing (and exhausting)! I actually didn't know attached hotels were a thing... maybe it's an US-thing? I totally get that excitement when people love your cosplay, take photos or chat with you like with Tulin! It's my favourite thing at a convention, especially if it's from a rare character or fandom

I love your cosplay videos! You’ve inspired me to make my own cosplay and I enjoy watching your videos!

cons with attached hotels are a wild concept to me as an English cosplayer, I distinctly remember travelling through central London on public transport while in a full Xiangling cosplay and carrying a huge suitcase, a jellyfish umbrella, and a bag of wigs 😭

I’m going to be performing (singing) at an upcoming convention 2&3 September, super nervous but hoping for the best! Thanks for the new video, I’m sure it’ll be great :)

One of my favorite Tennessee cons is held in an expo center that does farm events as well, hence no attached hotel. So the question of cosplay always goes to either, Which cosplay can I drive in and which one can I change into in a parking lot.

watching sarah while doing crafts is better than tacos (thats a lot)

US con centers having hotels sounds so convenient but meanwhile in the philippines most con centers are attached to malls so you end up seeing makima chainsaw man falling in line at jollibee behind childe tartaglia ajax and darth vader

Miami and south Florida hot is a whole different kind of hot. It was so nice meeting you!

I can't begin to imagine how hot you must've been in Tulin in Florida in August, but you still looked incredible! I'm not sure if anyone really cares, but I want to mention how last week I stayed at the Gaylord Marriot in Maryland. I wanted to go just because I know that it's where Katsucon is held in February and I thought it would be cool to see the holy Katsucon gazebo while there wasn't a crowd of 100 cosplayers and tripods swarming the area. The entire time all I could think about while walking around the hotel was that Sarah Spaceman was once there! I was at a place where my favorite cosplayer and biggest inspiration had stayed, and it meant a lot to me to be there and go, "That's where Sarah took her Sakizo photos! And thats where Sarah interviewed that one cosplayer about their cosplay!". I annoyed my Mom to bits with all of the yapping and rambling about Katsucon, but it was so amazing to be there. Thank you for everything you do, Sarah. I hope you had an incredible time at Supercon!

I wish that England had cons like this. I feel like our con community is lacking and it has made me struggle to get into cosplay because I don’t think I’d ever wear it if not at a con

I know the music at the beginning is just a royalty free track, but I can’t help but think of Jort Storm lol.

I love your videos!!! That look so much fun! It's so cool that you got to judge! I hope one of these years you can come down to WA. We got some really nice smaller conversations down here like SummerCon!!

I haven't been to a convention since 2019, and I've been getting my enthusiasm for cons and cosplay from your con videos, and I can't wait to go to a con again. I'm making tentative plans to go to Holiday Matsuri with my best friend! Thank you for these vlogs, I love watching them and I love the way you present them. Can't wait to see more!

i love your con vlogs! I'm going to fanx in salt lake city next month and it will be my first American con! I'm excited to see how different (or similar) it is to Dutch comic con

I was today years old when I learned that hotels attached to the convention centers are not the norm. I have been spoiled! Though I think maybe one of the reasons U.S. convention centers often have a hotel attached is because public transportation in the U.S. SUCKS and you often have to pay for parking and dead while traffic so often people deem it easier to just stay at a hotel near the convention center.

Everytime i watch a Sarah Spaceman video, I wait for her cat. I like Sarah too.
