your birthday is on Halloween?!?! INTERESTING!
Since that is not till a Friday this year, maybe I will be able to indulge in Onicon this year. Adding it to my calendar just in case.

It's like being on the internet... but in person.
Because allllll those different people you meet at places like this usually go to them.
You can just sort of let go and have a good time.
You cannnnnn go to a signing.
The dealers room where there are some serious deals on anime/japanese items.
Cosplay and be an attention whore all day.
They have about 2 or 3 raves/dances.
Where, unlike clubs, not everyone is fucked up on some sort of drug.

They have tons of panels with contest/info about animes or japan.

And they always have a fairly popular band from Japan give a free show.
Oh and a free arcade.

See. I'd say, " Look for me!" but uh.
You'd need a magnifying glass for that.

Now you do.
Before it was mostly white people and Asians.
But I don't know when it happened but.. Just like all of a sudden these other races started showing up.
It's turned into a real variety.
You meet alot of interesting people that you just wouldn't run into anywhere else.
Like I said. It's like the net.

I dunno who i'd dress up as if I went to an Anime convention.
Probably Barret from FFVII. I think I said that months ago when I first joined this forum

Gah I hate cosplay >>
If I do it. I go as an original character.
Or spice up a popular character.
Like at school yesterday we had superhero day!
And I went as Batman..But a " spiced up" Batman.
I had his little "ears" that clipped into my hair and wore sunglasses.
With a black cape
A Batman T-shirt,batman belt, black skinny jeans and black stilettos.
It was casual/comfy and people still understood the theme.

Come to think of it. That'd be perfect for oni con. o.o
