How to go to an anime convention.
It made me
Extremely Happy
 "It was incredible. So far I have been to two now and plan on going to a third next month."
How I did it: I used the website "animecons.com" and it was extremely helpful. The site has every convention for every year listed, along with links for the actual convention site. I saved up my money and did it. Lessons & tips: It's okay to wing it once you are at the con, but having at least a general plan will get you far. Also, you have to make sure that you budget because it's far too easy to spend $200 in the first day. If possible try to make friends with the staff and then work as staff at the next one. A big portion of what you spend is on your badge alone, cutting that cost will help you save. Resources: Definately animecons.com for all the information. Also, cosplay.com is helpful when planning to cosplay for the first time. |

How I did it: We decided on a whim to go. I wasn't hosting the room, so I didn't handle getting the hotel room or anything like that in 2005. Now that I've been to several cons and have hosted rooms for three of them, I know a few tips of the trade. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I went to the San Jose Fanime con and had a great time :) I bought a day pass and kept my expectations low and stayed open-minded. I ended up meeting up with my now-fiance there, he told me about it in our acting class at the university we go to. A bunch of my close friends from preschool (Crazy that I still know them, right!?) and I hung out at the con as well. It made me feel like I was part of something larger than myself.

How I did it: Signed up at AnimeSouth.com. Called the hotel and got a good rate.It was great because it was at the Hilton. A lot of people there were a lot weirder and younger than us. Wasn't a huge convention. But we stayed at the Hilton for cheap! Read how I did it…

That’s how old I would be in November of 2005 when I went to my first anime convention, MTAC (Middle Tenn Anime Convention).
AND IT WAS AWESOME!
My friend and I were screwing around New Years Eve and a friend in the VA world told her that he’d be at MTAC. We didn’t even know that we in Tenneessee had an anime convention. It was a cheep prereg and only a 4 hour drive! :D
Then that September, we went to AWA in Atlanta Georgia. I didn’t have as much fun there as I did at MTAC, but I think that’s because we progressed from a small con to a big con too quickly.

I would absolutely love to go to an anime convention!! I’d also love to cosplay but then again… first I need to find out where and when conventions are, then I need to figure out who I’m gonna cosplay (atm it would be either Abarai Renji or Urahara Kisuke.. oh maybe Kuchiki Rukia [all from Bleach]... you see what I mean? xDD). After that I’d need to get the costume done and ~ blah blah!!!
Rawr. Too much to do. =_=

I’m really hoping I can make it to Fanime this year… I missed it the last 2 years, which makes me a bit sad because all my friends went, which left me sitting in the dust.
So… I plan on going to Fanime this year! Well, that’s the goal anyways… this also kinda connects with my other goals like, driving there on my own, cosplaying, making sure I do well spring semester so I can celebrate… etc., etc.

Hmm, I’d like to do this one time. But I’ll put it on my ‘give up’ list, I don’t have any interest in doing this anytime soon. I want to spend those 43 I list for goals I’ll accomplish sooner.

I’ve become very fond of anime when before I used to think it was pointless! >_< I really would like to go to an anime convention at least one time in my life, cause I heard they are really fun! :D I hope to go someday to one of the biggest anime conventions, Anime Expo in California, too bad I live so far away! =/ I would love cosplaying Maria Kurenai from Vampire Knight,she’s so evil! =P

I want to go to a big anime convention. Not just a minor one in some medium size town but one that is days long and has every aspect of anime possible.

“I do photography on the side and was wondering if the conventions have vendors taking pictures of the anime/cosplay people in costume?”
