Who here attends Anime Conventions?

[tensai]

i went to my first anime con this year
it was in california, in san jose
it was pretty decent, i wanted to stay longer, but most of the stuff was repetitive
the highlight of the whole thing was that i won this raffle and got to meet Nami Tamaki in person[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
thats pretty much it, and seeing some cute girls dressing up

edit: the name of the convention is fanime

I live in Southern California and i don't travel far to go to conventions, so I only went to Anime Expo. (ShinobiNeko, wasn't the expo this year great...despite registration) But Anime Expo really fills my appetite for anime. (Lots of cosplay...who ever invented a digicam that can fit 400 pictures is a genius)
This year is my first time in 3 years to go to Anime Expo. I took a break...I just lost interest in anime. Because of Naruto, I LOVE LOVE LOVE anime again. I was so excited to go again (and really glad to see a lot of Naruto cosplayers).

Eurasian, Anime Expo was great. I've always wanted to go so got a chance to this year and it was worth it ^_^... but yeah the registration sucked though..even though I was preregistered had to wait forever to get my pass, but other than that, the cosplay, Ishida Yoko concert and other events was great, and of course the dealers room. ^_^ got a lot of Naruto and FMA things that I would never find back home

The last couple of years i have attended AKON in Dallas Tx. If you ever have the chance to attend go for it. Being a drunken security guard is great.

I go to AnimeCentral in Rosemont, Illinois. It's a good convention. No too many deals in the dealer's room this year, though. You should definitely stay at the host hotel, if you go.

This year is my last year of high school (thank the Lord) so next summer, I'll be free to do whatever I want so I'll be checking out the Big Apple Animefest in New York. I was just wondering if anyone knows of any websites to get information/ticket info for these anime conventions? I've never cosplayed before either...Maybe I'll start simple with Netto Hikari from the Rockman.EXE anime.
