    In another two weeks I'm off to Animethon again!

    And this time, doing my first cosplay! (sans the one I did as Sloth from FMA at Halloween)


    I'm going as Suiseiseki from Rozen Maiden....that's if my costume comes in on time....>>


    Not going with the friend I had to go with a year ago when I made my last post, but I'm still looking forward to going with my other friend...(so long as my ex doesn't show up...*cough*) I might meet up with the other friend since she now live sin the area, but that's uncertain.


    Either way, VIC MIGNOGNA IS GONNA BE THERE. OMG. <3


    *a very excited Fushi*

    Have fun, Fushi~!! I hope your cosplay comes in on time!

    So far, I've been to seven conventions, and cosplayed at all of them except my first. X3 They're a lot of fun.

    The only one that wasn't in Ohio out of those was Sugoicon, which was in Kentucky. (Actually wasn't too far away, though.)

    Ohio actually doesn't get too many cons. D: At least, not many that I know of. It also certainly doesn't have anything as big and epic as... OTAKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON. I don't think our biggest one, Ohayocon, even comes close. I really want to go to that one some day.

    C'MON FUSHI, LET'S GO TO OTAKON! =D

    hey I'd just to ask one question but usally how much if you do is it to enter in anime convention if I get a chance in the future i'd hope to go to one since I've never been to :( also I wonder how do people make their anime costumes and what store do some people buy their anime costumes from I just want to get one and how do people cosplay it looks fun when I saw people make videos about it while looking at videos about anime conventions

    The cost of attending a convention depends upon a large number of variables. Which convention do you wish to attend? When is it? Can you pre-register? How many days do you intend to be there? Do you plan on buying anything? Depending on the answers to these questions, the price can be anywhere from ~$30 to in the hundreds.

    As for costumes, most people make their own. There are a few places that sell them (look for Japanese imports, usually); however, it's often a lot cheaper and definitely more fun to make it. There are makers who sell costumes to others, too; however, I know nothing on how to find them. ^^;
