>It was an arms race between Yaya and Nigri to figure out how to monetize cosplay and turn it in job
I remember Yaya being a regular guest at one of the major cons in my area when I started going to cons back in 2014, kinda wish I actually tried going to her booth if I knew she was that historically significant, but at the same time I see the whole cosplay for money thing as one of the things ruining the community so it's not surprising that I didn't.

The free sunglasses a lot of events in general give out can go, but I don't miss free lanyards. Most cons post covid now just give you some shoestring-looking thing for your lanyard, if you get anything to begin with. I have my own lanyard I bring to cons now and it's annoying because it's basically an additional thing I have to keep track of and make sure to bring with me as opposed to last decade when they'd just give you one and you didn't have to worry about it.

>anime watching parties
Anime rooms were the original panels. Before anime had its own dedicated cons, the closest thing you had was room parties at sci-fi cons where people would spend the entire time screening anime in their hotel rooms.
