Well at my favorite con it's doing my own panel. Because I know a lot of people who go to the con I get feed back all the time.

1st time... not too bad for a first time.
2nd time... My friends were like 'WTF, I didn't know that.'
3rd time... My first little kids.

That's amazing! You must be know a lot about Japan to be able to do these panels. What cons do you have your panels at? If it's close enough it would be neat to go to one. I'm always curious about other cultures.

I plan on getting a degree in Japanese history. I'm thinking a Ph.d.
As for the con it's not close at all from what it sounds like. It's in Spokane Washington.

I really like your list. You are definately are very involved in Con's. You must be a really good Cosplayer to be able to do skits. I Love watching the skits at cons. I have made a few "Cosplay" friends at cons and it's neat to hook up with them and other cons. The next con that I'm going to is Youmacon 2012 in Detroit, Michigan. Where do you go to cons at?

My cosplay/skit group usually stays around the southern states. Sadly, we haven't been around the con circuit for about 1.5 years but the 2013 season will be good for us... college students, living expenses, and just trying to find jobs are keeping us from doing what we enjoy. Two of our group members, we only get get to see them at cons TnT
I think the next group cosplay we're doing is going to be from Baka and Test: Summon the Beast. We will be cosplaying the chibi beast forms heart
I haven't decided on who to be though... Either Himeji, Kouta, or Hideyoshi gonk

What kind of events are you interested in? Past cosplays? Future ones? xd

Cosplay Contest, specifically the Skits because most of them are awesome. (I like to record the contests too)
Dealers room
Panels

I would maybe have more if I could just attend a convention, but because I've somehow become known as a good volunteer I get sucked in every time. Though I have to admit my favorite departments to work at conventions are programming and guest relations (but neither of them are as easy as most people would think).

I really enjoy vending in the artist alley. You get to see some amazing cosplays and meet some interesting people.

I have only been going to Cosplay / Anime cons since 2009 so each one is a joy to behold and another chance to discover what they are all about. One event that has gotten my interest is Cosplay Shougi Chess. I have always liked playing chess and having the pieces come to life on the board as Cosplayers is really neat. Also I like the Cosplay skit competitions a lot. You never know what the Cosplayers will come up with next. I'm very interested in Sailor Moon Cosplays. I've been a big fan of the series since 1995 and a dream Cosplay for me would to be able to pull of a Tuxedo Max Cosplay. I'm always on the lookout at cons for Sailor Moon Cosplayers to take pics of. Good luck in your future group Cosplay skits.

I use to go to and work at Star Trek conventions for over 10 years straight so I know what you mean about getting sucked into it. LOL At one Star Trek con I was taking care of the needs of 6 different guests at one time. It was no easy feat but it was definately a thrill to meet and work with the stars. One of the things that I got from that convention was a bunch of very special autographs.

The Artist Alley and Gatherings are my favorites. And I always look forward to photoshoots if I have any.


What's a Gathering? I can't tell if the convention I go to doesn't have one or if we call it something else.

A gathering is where people dressed up from the same series gather in one place and take group photos. There are usually run by a con-goer, and are not an official part of any convention.
