Anyone going to any conventions?
 

A Japanese anime convention. I'm going to Otakon and didn't know if there was anyone else here who was going to one.. :ywave:

I am going to attend Connecticon.

OH! OTAKON! I like... drove past it while the coon was going on i was like.. wtf mom stop the car.. I saw about 12 kakashi's

I'm going to AX in July. Also Metrocon later in July as well.

Last year, I went to Anipop and I'm going back this year and now as a Cosplayer, still don't know which character, thought.

I just got back from MTAC. I'm going to AWA in September for sure, but I'll also be going to Yaoi Jam before that if I can round up enough money.

I'm going to A-Kon in a few weeks.

sigh =.=
just going to go to onicon >.>'''
anyone else coming along? =D
ladies? x]

Oh phooey! You need to get off work and follow Drend up here for A-Kon.
Its really not that far ..... unless you have to walk it.

took too many vacations for new years [in February] x.x''''
gonna take one more week off to go to new york...and then one last one to go to onicon >.<'''

I am I am!

What are the dates in 2008?
Usually my calendar is already full in October, but I have cancelled two annual events until further notice.

It's generally the weekend before Halloween/my birthday : )

So like, what do you do at these conventions. I aint ever been to one.. I think >.>

:eek: your birthday is on Halloween?!?! INTERESTING!
Since that is not till a Friday this year, maybe I will be able to indulge in Onicon this year. Adding it to my calendar just in case.

It's like being on the internet... but in person.
Because allllll those different people you meet at places like this usually go to them.
You can just sort of let go and have a good time.
You cannnnnn go to a signing.
The dealers room where there are some serious deals on anime/japanese items.
Cosplay and be an attention whore all day.
They have about 2 or 3 raves/dances.
Where, unlike clubs, not everyone is fucked up on some sort of drug.

They have tons of panels with contest/info about animes or japan.

And they always have a fairly popular band from Japan give a free show.
Oh and a free arcade.


Lol <<
See. I'd say, " Look for me!" but uh.
You'd need a magnifying glass for that.

Sounds great. Do you get lots of different raced people?
England sucks for those types of things lol. Well my city does anyway ;/

Now you do.
Before it was mostly white people and Asians.
But I don't know when it happened but.. Just like all of a sudden these other races started showing up.
It's turned into a real variety.
You meet alot of interesting people that you just wouldn't run into anywhere else.
Like I said. It's like the net.

Haha I'm the only one going to Otakon?...It'll be my first convention and I can't waiitt *thumbz up* YEahhh

I dunno who i'd dress up as if I went to an Anime convention.
Probably Barret from FFVII. I think I said that months ago when I first joined this forum :D

Isn't that like supposed to be the best con ever or something? <<
I hear about it all the time.


Gah I hate cosplay >>
If I do it. I go as an original character.
Or spice up a popular character.
Like at school yesterday we had superhero day!
And I went as Batman..But a " spiced up" Batman.
I had his little "ears" that clipped into my hair and wore sunglasses.
With a black cape
A Batman T-shirt,batman belt, black skinny jeans and black stilettos.
It was casual/comfy and people still understood the theme.

Come to think of it. That'd be perfect for oni con. o.o

Uhh...I think it was like the second biggest one in the United States or something like tat...about 25,ooo people go there...and they aim to get guests who have never been to America...JAM Project is the frirst musical guest...but I don't like them very much...ohoh but the guy who does Uryuu's voice on Bleach is gonna be there...The Eng dub guy.

And the roducer of Death Note..and Chobits...annnnd. Vampire Hunter D...and a bunch moree

Jam Project ;__; I wish I could go to that. There's bound to be TONS of hotblooded manliness at that concert. I'll die if they play that "MOTTO MOTTO!". Versailles at A-Kon is going to have to quench my concert thirst until Oni-con's band is announced.

In my usual fashion of taking a different route to reach a goal, attending a Con was what started my interest in Anime and Manga. Just a little backward.:)

I was on the commuter train into Dallas and saw this guy with his kids all hyped up about A-Kon (which I had no clue about at the time). When we ended up getting off at the same stop I decided that since I was a early for my appointment I would follow them over to the hotel and see what was going on. The room with the JRock videos was open to anyone so I was having a good time. Reading a flyer between videos I discovered that my former Taiko teacher was performing later that afternoon so I decided to cancel my appointment and go get a day pass. Before long I was wrapped in discussion with a Manga author and browsing the vendor area waiting for Kobushi to play. This will be my third A-Kon.
