Conventions? - MorningMess - Aug. 29, 2010
Have any of you guys ever been to a convention of any kind? I've been to the Anime Fest for the past three years and the Comic Con two years ago. 0:
RE: Conventions? - Munkerz - Aug. 29, 2010
I go to the MCM Expo at the Excel Center in London fairly regularly, have been for the last three years now; I think.
I was happy to see that the Spinoff was to be held there, as I planned on going anyway.
Unfortunately enough of my costume (I do costumes sometimes) fell apart before getting there, that by the time I arrived at the Beyblade floor area it seemed I was just wearing a white shirt and tracksuit bottoms. Loose threads are truly evil things.
RE: Conventions? - MorningMess - Aug. 29, 2010
Loose threads are gna be the death of all cosplayers.. Did you buy your outfit online or something? It's really good to inspect your outfit and stuff before going to the Con. 0: I was thinking of holding probably a tournament at the New York Anime Festival this year, but I don't know who to consult to that works with bringing that Con together. Or can I just pick a spot somewhere and wait for people to meet up..? Ehh, I'll figure something out.

You know one good thing about conventions (Besides all the announcements, the cosplaying and the freebies), It's the chance to go with friends and have a laugh with them on whatever happens.
Shame I've haven't been to one with even a single friend of mine. Least I have facebook.

I've been to Anime Matsuri in Houston, TX, USA, and I'm on staff at Chronicles Convention here in Wichita, KS.
RE: Conventions? - Thresher - Aug. 29, 2010
I've been to both conventions held up here in Anchorage, AK. The first was Aurora-Con 2008 where I met Vic Mignogna( Edward Elric, Ikkaku Madarame, Burter in DBK) and Collen Clinkenbeard(Riza Hawkeye, Gohan in DBK), and the second was Senshii-Con 2010 where I met Travis Willingham(Roy Mustang, Cell in DBK) Laura Bailey(Lust, Rakshata Chawla), Chris Cason(Mr. Popo, Gluttony), Leah Clark(Noah from the FMA movie), and Jackie Cabe.

Basically, but I missed the year that Caitlin Glass(Winry) showed up and Aaron Dismuke(Alphonse Elric) hasn't come up. I do wish that Chris Sabat would come back, because I had no chance to see him the year he came up.

It was actually quite funny because I went on wiki before the panel so I was remembered as " the guy who knows everything about us", just because I knew Travis's middle name was Hampton. I thought it was just So odd that if you saw it you would remember it.
RE: Conventions? - Dude - Aug. 29, 2010
If anyone cares, Kai-V the Terrible and I are going to Anime North, for 2011. After all, 2012 is the end of the world, and all, so we better enjoy it while we can XD
I can't wait to take dozens of pictures with those crazy cosplayers
It'll be our first convention, too, so it'll be a nice experience.

When did she get this nickname, hah.
I'm probably going to AN 2011 too. As long as I don't spend too much money in the interval. *grumble* Meteo LDrago Ultimate Reshuffle *grumble*

I went to my first one this year - Anime Evolution 2010. It was the highlight of my year thus far. I went as L - for lazy, hah. I should have spent more time on my cosplay.

It's satirical, of course. I am not one of those silly believers that the mayans could have predicted the end of the world but not the end of their own people.
Getting a little off subject, here. I sure hope that the guest voice actors for Anime North are going to be good and well-known ones like Johnny Yong Bosch, Wendee Lee, Karen Strassman, Yuri Lowenthall, Mona Marshall, Jamieson Price and othes.

That's a dream panel, all is missing is Scott McNeil, Steven Blum, and Vic Mignogna.
RE: Conventions? - To - Aug. 31, 2010
I've been to three in my life. FanExpo 2009, Anime North 2010, and FanExpo 2010. FE 2010 was the worst of the three. But I had fun at all three.
I went to panels hosted by Crispin Freeman, Johnny Yong Bosch (I actually got him to autograph some PR stuff for me), and Aaron Dismuke. As I mentioned elsewhere, I did meet Jason Deline (Benkei in the dub of MFB), and that was pretty cool.
RE: Conventions? - Thresher - Aug. 31, 2010
I'd have to say the coolest thing that happened for me was when I bumped in to Laura Bailey and had her convince my friend that she was the voice of kid Trunks. He was so skeptical and it was funny to see the light in his brain click on.

Bought. I wasn't sure about cosplaying that particular time, but then I got nudged into it. So I was too short on time to make one. The costume arrived two days before the Expo, and I was working extra shifts to save for the weekend.
I did give it an inspection, and it seemed ok, obviously it wasn't; not that I had the time to fix it up.
