It is today, tomorrow, and sunday in IL. SO....

Who is going besides me? X9

[Lightning Star]

I wish. They don't have many conventions in Arizona...They need more!

[Golden Legacy]

Same here. Been around New York City, Boston, and Atlanta... and I've missed every convention hosted all there as well, arrgh.

Sounds like a great time though, enjoy!

[Xelina]

oh I will! X9

and I promaise to bring lots of pictures for you guys to share with! :P

oh! and I'm also cosplaying as Jade from Tales of the Abyss~<3 X9

Finished his costume like now, which is 2:54 am of Saterday. >3>;

[Folcon]

There's a local convention next march I am thinking of going to, I just don't know if I will cosplay for my first atending, or wait untill the next year. If I do cosplay, I'm thinking Cloud, if I can find the right hair gel, or maybe Super Saian Trunks, I already got blonde hair, and if I let it grow out till then, it should be the right length. Then I'll I need is a black shirt, some torn blue jeans, and a Capsule Corp. jacket and I'm set. And I'l pass on the sword.

[Split Infinity]

Cloud? Wow, what an original choice... >_<

[Folcon]

I'm just trying to pick someone that I don't have to dye my hair, or buy a wig, to do. And its better than Naruto.

[Split Infinity]

At least Naruto isn't massively overrated.

[Folcon]

It's easier to pull off Cloud when you're 22 then it is to pull off Naruto.

[Split Infinity]

Just don't end up like this guy. XD

GET OUT.

not really into expos, partly because they never bloody do any in this country and partly because of the amount new***s who will mob you if you're favourite anime isnt Bleach, Deathnote, Full Metal Alchemist or Naruto.

[Split Infinity]

Well, okay, not as overrated.

[Xelina]

lawl, but you will find a lot of Clouds over at a convetion. FF is litterly it's theme. X9

Oh and I'm not dyeing my hair brown either... black hair don't dye. it is a proven fact.

overrated doesnt necessarily mean crap

[Xelina]

Hey, people, people. Chill.

If one person like one thing, then we should respect the person's feelings. We don't bash people's head in and demand what is wrong with them.

We are all grown people, so start acting like one. :/

[Eugine]

lol, well said Xelina.

Anyway, so Xelina how was the convention?

[Folcon]

Yeah, did you get me any swag?

[Xelina]

Yes, I got you pictures of me cosplaying, isn't that enough? X9

Oh my gosh, where should I start? hum....

Well we got there at like 9:30ish in the morning of Sat. and we saw people, loads of people cosplayers heading over to the Convention building. After I changed at the car, we went over to the building. Most people there was dressed as either characters from Naruto or Bleach. I myself was Jade Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss. I charged in last minutes into the Tales of Panel and was able to get some picture of myself taken with my party members in the game. I also got a few Tales of Symphonia picture taken before they break up. (The guy who was Kratos was hawt. X9) We then began to mangle. My friend was that robot from FLCL so she was like mobbed by the camera flashes as she walked around. I myself was not mobbed but I did get asked to take a few pictures which was pretty nice. :P

All the shop was open and it was like a huge room of anime fans dressing up, it was like so awesome and cool. I ended up buying a doujin, a cute gothic hat hairband, an angry and sweatdrop hair pins and a blue katana. Yes, I bough a sword, fear me world! >D

So that is all we did till like 6 where we checked into the hotel and ate dinner and played Super Smash Brawl (go toon link!) till around like 8pm. We then changed for the Bubble Rave ( cause we all know anime nerds don't shower) and went back into the center and stand in the line for the rave for like 2 hours. But it was worth it. First rave ever man! It was amazing and awesome and totally fun with the train and flashing lights. We return back to the room around 3am in the morning and hit the sack.

Next morning, we got up around 8 am, ate breakfest, and I changed back into Jade and left for the con. While there, since it was the day after the Rave and there was Church goers, I was stared at a lot as we walked from our hotel to the con. I was like 'Halloween! Give me candy damn it!'. X9

It wasn't much cosplayers on Sunday cause everyone was out from the Rave, but we got like the Cereal man and the CD swordsman. We even got a Moggle, and a pedo bear and the box. Saddly we got to leave at 4 pm and came back. I got like loads of pictures. Once I get them on my computer I'll upload them and show you guys. :D

Or you can just google Anime Central. I'm sure I'll show up to a FLCL robot sometime.... X9

[Yuki]

DUDE THIS SUCKS.

:(

We have Anime Expo happening in about 2 weeks time, and I'm definitely not going. I'm so heartbroken too.

-sigh-

This topic brings me an immense amount of shame ;_; BECAUSE I CAN'T GO! Dx

[Toasty]

I honestly wouldn't fit in very well at any of these. Mostly becuase I'd be too lazy to dress up. :P

....and I probably wouldn't be caught ead at something like that anyway. Social reasons, obviously.

Anyway, care to say why you're not going, Yuki?
