My First Anime Convention

[cassey k]

OMG i've never been to an anime con before which i've always wanted too!!! omgg.. and i'm gonna go for the masquerade contest... so see a ddr girl pass by and yeh! I'm gonna cosplay as Yuni from Dance Dance revolution and if you hate it then BLAH! Im also gonna go for the FMV contest this year, so wish me luck~ ^^. and why does this forum layout look like the ones on Gaia?oh well. BTW add me as a friend on GAIA [~kiss kiss bunny~]

[zoupzuop2]

Ummm... welcome?

You're going to absolutely LOVE Fanime. Last year's Fanime was my first con, and I had an absolute blast on a budget of a mere $200 (that ran out rather early...). Cosplay or no, Arcade or no, Any feature or otherwise, you'll have an amazing time at Fanime.

Cool, it will be my first Fanime also!  The more I read the forums, the more I'm looking forward to going.  And yay Ranma 1/2!

[Makou]

You'll have fun there. It's probably one of the only places a girl can go fan girl and it will be perceived as normal... maybe even attractive...

Heh, heh. So, it's like a rite of passage! I really hope you have a good time! Visit the karaoke area. Put your heart on the stage (watch me sing >_>).

[Ayanami Rei First Child]

Conventions are totally awesome and people there are really nice. Make sure to ask cos/crossplayers for their photographs and hugs ^^

[SuperKawaiiNeko]

Ahhhh, so young. I remember MY first fanime. It was like a religious experiance XD

[FanFicGuru]

Going into 9th grade? Young'n indeed...

well, as you get older the experience will become even more and more fun. Because, there are certain things you just can't do when you're a 9th grader...

I think the older fans have some inklings.

I hope your first anime convention is TERRIBLE! And you, like, can't afford to buy ANYTHING in the dealer room, and then NONE of the bishounen you encounter pays you any attention except for the one who says you're UGLY and that's after con ops loses your registration so you have to pay twice, and your costume falls off, and, and, and...

I'm just kidding, of course. I don't really remember much about my first con except being a little bit of a deer-caught-in-the-headlights. And I think I saw some guy in a really crazy cosplay totally whoop at DDR, even though the arcade room was really tiny and near registration, which was totally at the opposite end from most of the con, which was spread out sort of unoptimally throughout the Santa Clara Convention Ce-...

... I'm rambling. Sorry.

[SuperKawaiiNeko]

Hahahaha. Thats pretty funny. And I remember that! The arcade DID used to be down on the first floor near registration, down past the front desk and gift shop XD

Jeez, that room was so tiny and smelly, and there werent hardly any good games XD

Also: I was probably even younger than her my first con (a fanime.) And at my first fanime, DDR wasnt out yet I dont think XD

[Ayanami Rei First Child]

Go ahead and ramble.

My first Convention wasn't that awesome...then again it was the super NON-personal AX and I only knew 1 person. Then I went to Fanime and saw what Conventions SHOULD be  :twisted:

FanimeCon 98, my first con. Other than 99, I haven't missed Fanime since. :)

[Ayanami Rei First Child]

So far I'm at 2 - 0 with attending FanimeCon. Few things are going to be able to stop ME from attending damn it! :twisted:

FanimeCon 98, my first con. Other than 99, I haven't missed Fanime since. :)

Same here, except Ive NEVER missed a fanime XD This will be my tenth in a row ^_^0

[Ayanami Rei First Child]

You've been Fanime Con 10 years running?! That's AMAZING!! Happy Late 10th Anniversary!! <3 <3

Well I don't EVER plan on missing out on FanimeCon. It's just...too precious and important to me.

Be sure to check out the various gatherings if you plan on cosplaying, as well as the Live Events forum....and the Gaming forum as well. We have tabletop, REC games such as air hockey, and video games. If there's anything you'd like to play there, please feel free to stop by and make a few suggestions. ^_^

Happy Late 10th Anniversary!! <3 <3

If it's their 10th year, shouldn't it only be their 9th anniversary?
