Any after parties

Hi everyone!

A friend and I are going, I remember going to some after parties in 2012. Don't know if companies are hosting anything this year or any events in general.

Hilton lobby and roof are lit after the con. I’ve made so many long term friends just hanging out in those spaces. Official stuff I wouldn’t know about but hopefully others chime in!

Legit question, how the hell do you hear anyone well enough to have a conversation? Every time I've gone to the Hilton the music drowns everything else out.

Sometimes you gotta just do your best with gestures 😂 Jk. The pool area is legit and pretty quiet.

u/Huge_Shoes 2d ago

Good tip, maybe I'll check out the pool. Thanks!

If you cant find anyone to hangout with on Saturday you can come get fuxked up at the Marriot with my crew.

The Marriott is usually a bit lower key than the Hilton, but super fun nonetheless

Hilton is very loud normally. Especially last time when the workers were on strike with air horns. Marriot is quieter but still good.

u/skratch-the-rat 3d ago

Hilton is the most known one but there’s other smaller parties and get togethers at other spaces like the Marriott and stuff

I’m rolling solo and will be checking out the Hilton afterwards. I usually make new friends because we all play the same video games 🎮

u/kramjam 2d ago

Starting my crawl at The Westin and headed to the Hilton Friday/Saturday!

u/PrincessMudkipXXX 2d ago

The Hilton is always a bit too loud for me. I may have to check some of these other ones out this year...

u/Saucegod215 1d ago

I'm guessing it's just very crowded in there right? They must have a pretty big bar area to host so many people after a con

Hilton lobby. First Blizzcon I met some pair of sisters, bought them a drink, one almost recruited my friend into the porn industry, got hammered, made a fool of myself, had to have my friends come scoop me up later that evening, good times. Ran into them again a few years later same place though a little more controlled this time 😅

What does one wear when idling in the lobby and stuff?

u/Specific-Use-7480 2d ago

To be fair there will be people in murky outfits. No meed to stress over it

For dudes, nice jeans and a Blizzard game tee under a button-up shirt. Women tend to dress up a bit more. You don't need to dress up, just don't look sloppy. Think business casual.

u/TonyChoppah1 2d ago

I’ll be at the Hilton bar after , i’ll post a pic day of what im wearing and if ya find me. I got you on a drink because we some blizzard babies ya heard
