If people didn't live faraway, and I had my own place, I would have thrown a huge party.

I go to FanimeCon because cute nerdy geek girls are my thing, especially when they cosplay.  The competition for their attention is so sad that it's like shooting fish in a barrel... with a shotgun... and no water.

What's your excuse?

el oh el, ryan.

"I go to Fanime becuase I  can only see people and friends that ONE TIME. It's like a Christmas for me."

It's the same for me.  I'm 28 years old and have been attending Fanime consistantly since 1998.  I'm not a nerd, I swear.  I have friends and a social life and everything.  But life happens and my friends and I are scattered all over CA, now.  We almost lost one of them to ILLINOIS!  So we only get to see each other a few times a year.  Fanime is one of them. 

And there are some times when I wonder if the fact that's I'm pushing 30 and still going to anime conventions is just plain sad.  But then I go and have a great time hanging out with my friends.  And I blow off any stupid notions I had about being "too old." 

So, my advice to you would be to re-evaluate just why it was you began attending conventions in the first place.  You may find your original reasons are no longer valid and either find a new reason to go, or channel your fandom into another venue.

If your feeling outgrown, try something new. This past year I have had 2 friends who said 08 was there last year because 1) they can get the anime they show anywhere or 2) they can get the stuff they sell in the dealers room for cheaper. Now both of these may be true, but I got them to give the rave and B&W ball a try again, and they loved it. Now they are more tempted to return, even they have been going for the past 10 years. Just give fanime one more shot, but this time, try something you have never tried before.

I forgot about the B&W ball. I should have a real pretty gown to show off. I've been wanting to go...just never had anything to wear. I like the dances, and mostly showing off my wardrobe. X)

Same here. I threw something together last minute. The only thing I had to purchase that weekend was the tie. I'm on the far left.

[XpHoBiaX]

I love ties, I wanted the black and green stripey tie. But I already had a tie that was a sort of cyber gothy green.

Lucky, I didn't have anything to throw together. :/
