Note to mods: I wasn't entirely sure where I should fit this topic. I put it here for now. Larry, feel free to move it to the appropriate forum, if it doesn't fit here.
Anyways, I recently just been to my first anime convention in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. I drove about an hour to a friend's house to stay the night, before the event. The next morning, we drove about an hour from his house to the Ikasucon in Ft. Wayne, Indiana.
The event was absolutely awesome! They had a few rooms set aside for anime and anime movies. A room for Magic the Gathering, Yu-gi-oh, and other card games. That same room also had tabletop games too.
There was a huge room for vendors. There was so much stuff to buy. Manga, anime DVD's, weapons (real, will kill someone, weapons) and awesome shirts, plushies, etc. So much stuff, so little money to use. *Sad face*
There was a room with a huge TV screen, which had people playing DDR on it. I don't care for the game series myself, but the TV screen was awesome to see. They had a bunch of TV's set up with just about any game system you can imagine. Not really any. About 3/4 of them had Wii's, X-box 360's, and PS3's, while the other 1/4 of the TVs had a GCN, PS2, X-box, as well as an N64, SNES, and a Dreamcast. lol
I had my picture taken by several people, despite my actual costume not being complete at all. I went as Sailor Mini Moon. It was a bit embarassing at first to dress in an incomplete costume, but I figured I go with it. A bunch of people loved my costume and wanted a picture. One girl walks up to me and immediately asks," Can I get a picture with you? I absolutely love Rini!". I just reply with a "Sure" and got the picture taken. More proof that there are Rini/Sailor Mini Moon fans out there. *Happy face* To be quite honest, I think I was the only cross-player there on top of the only Sailor Scout there.
There were some awesome costumes there! Lots of Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Bleach, Lucky Star, Mario related characters, and the list goes on. One of the best costumes there, by far, was a guy dressed as a box of Pocky! That was one awesome costume! Everything was great!
On a side note too: This one guy made a vid of me, loving my costume a lot. I got his youtube account name and e-mail. He says he wants to put the vid of me on youtube for all to see. Once he posts it, I will post a link for all of you to see me, BTTF Rini, in flesh and blood on youtube, and dressed as Sailor Mini Moon.
I want to go back next year! But, have anyone here been to an anime convention?
