good cosplay I like it. If I were to cosplay at the convention though I would have gone as Gaara or Itachi

if money is an issue that suxs because for a lot of anime conventions one of the best parts is the dealers room where you can get a lot of stuff discounted
i have only been to two different ones AnimeUSA in Virginia and Otakon in Mryland
i have been to otakon 7 times and Anime USA once (otakon is almost as big as the expo and USA is really small)

they were great and the others are right you will definitly want a camera

also try to make sure you plan the events you want to go to as far in advance

as possible (even if its day before). when i dont plan i end up walking around

not doing much lol so if you plan you'll know where you want to be and when which

helps when asking for directions because you can ask in advance
so for using so much space but sionce i have been so many times i thought givin sum of my advice would help lol have fun

ok here's a couple of pics from A-Kon - forgive my crappy camera, that's what I get for not having the flash on. I hate flash pics though...I'm wierd like that.

...that's a LOT of paper mache

I have a ton more...but I don't want to kill all the 56k speeds. there was even a borg there, from Star Trek. wrong con, but it was hella cool-he had all the lights and motors and everything working.

agreed on the money situation. I get my tabi at cons, among other things.

...and hell, there's nothing wrong with just walking around. hell, A-Kon it takes nearly a full day just to get all the way around the dealer room. that takes up the majority of my time at cons.

I think the best tip for con-goers is wear comfy shoes, cuz you'll be on your feet most of the day, try to get some sleep, and don't forget to eat.

and a request from me... Please bathe. Anyone who's been to AX probably gets where I'm coming from. ^^;
