Is anyone going to a convention this summer? Any plans to attend one at all this year? Do you got pictures? Did you cosplay? http://animecons.com/

I went to A-Kon 22 and 23 (in Texas, US), but I can't make 24 this June. I'm super bummed about it. But it was either that or miss my sister's weddingin May. I was all for missing the wedding, but she threatened me. jk XD

I am attending Ama-con's 2nd year this July. It's just a one day event and it's an hour away. I do plan on cosplaying as Rarity from MLP:FiM. We've got the Mane 6 + Derpy going. I totally plan on taking pictures.

My first con was ACen in 2011. Last year I went to ColossalCon and I'm going there again this year. Concidering it's close to where my girlfriend lives, I don't mind flying out if it means I get time with her. I'm definately cosplaying, like I did before.

My cosplay list:

Twilight: My Little Pony(I got SUCKERED into playing from this fandom)
Aster Phoenix: Yu-Gi-Oh GX(SocietyofLight! headcanon Version)
Tamaki Suoh: Ouran Highschool Host Club(Casual!Version)
Tohma Seguchi: Gravitation
Hiei: Yu Yu Hakusho(Need to put the white streaks in my wig)
Pitch Black: Rise of the Guardians(Female version, no grey paint because the idea was last minute)
Masaomi Kida: Durarara
Grell Sutcliffe: Black Butler(Only gonna wear this when we see Tatum aka Bassy's voice actor)

Backup/Amusement/Insomnia Cosplays:

Kaito Kuroba: Case Closed/Magic Kaito(Who no one would recognize, but would amuse me anyway)
Sunao Fujimori: Sukisho(Instead of Senri Shiki, because I honestly love my long cherry blossom pink wig more)
Hachimenroppi: Durarara(One of the Izaya alternates)

My cousin went to Sakura Con in Seattle. She had a great time there.

I used to work at A-Kon...good times.

I'm going to apply for an artist's table at Katsucon again, but before that the guy and I will be going to Baltimore Comic-Con (and the Maryland Ren Faire, if that counts?). I'd love to make something to wear for the Ren Faire. I guess that means that con season for me doesn't really start until September and ends around this time next year at Pax East (which I'll be cosplaying something for, just not sure what yet).

Ah, I went to Baltimore Comic-con last year! I hope to go again next time too. It's only a few hours away from me. I had a blast. :3 It was my first con! >w<

Yeah, it's about 1 1/2 hours for me from Virginia, depending on traffic. Was it awesome? I wanted to go so badly last year but I had mono yet again.

Well, I thought it was awesome, but it's the only con I've ever been to, so I don't have much to compare it to. >u>;
I even got to see Stan Lee!
...For about 2 seconds...through a window...(didn't get to buy tickets to his panel OTL)
Sorry about the mono, that stinks. :<

I'm super jealous! I'd love to see him in person. He's an amazing guy. Hope you get to go again this year!

Thanks, had it twice last year. Boo.

I worked several years for Fandemonium in Nampa Idaho, which was an entertainment con. Anime, Sci-fi, Fictonal History, movies, video games, ect... it was lot of fun but stressful!

I also used to attend Anime Oasis in Boise Idaho every year from 3-10. I missed last year, and I will likely also skip this year because I sort of out-grew the drama of conventions. :< I hope to continue attending in 2014 when I have more time and energy to mess with costumes and merch.

I have only cosplayed 3 times, and don't know how to sew so have never been hugely into it. I also fear for myself and my friends who may cosplay Homestuck in the future, because there seems to be a lot of violence towards HS cosplayers.

I'm going to RTX this July. I was going to go to Anime Expo, which is local for me, but a Roosterteeth-hosted video game convention was too good to pass up, especially considering that I'm going to be meeting one of my best friends irl for the first time there.

HOLLA IF YOU'RE RTX'ING
