It has been decided that I will be attending 2 conventions this first half of the year. The decision was somewhat sporadic to say the least. I was talking to a co worker about D&D and he mentioned Dragon Con to me and that he was attending, I decided I would go, as well as someone else I work with. This Dragon Con is not THE Dragon Con, it is a smaller brother of it taking place in Raleigh NC. Even though I am not a D&D player, I still enjoy the concept of it through playing MMO games, and other RPG style games based loosely on it. I will be leaving on Feb 25th for the 3-day event. It will be really fun and I plan to take tons of pictures I am really excited >.<
The 2nd convention I will be attending this year is Animazement. After the whole Dragon Con thing and talking about it so much, it got me thinking to go to my own type of convention. I had done some research on Animazement before but never got into the serious planning of going since I was in school, but hey! now I work and I am going to finally go. Me and a friend/blogger Riakunix are going to be attending. It will take place in Raleigh NC as well at the SAME convention center I think. It will also be 3 days from May 28th-30th.
At first I thought I would not cosplay for the conventions them being my first one. After watching LOTS of youtube videos on Animazement I changed my mind. The cosplayers have SO much fun it seems, they get pictures taken, people talk to them, and its much easier to strike up conversation with a fellow con attender by simply discussing costume. It took me a while to decide who to go as, but since I have been heavily watching Bleach lately. (I never watched it since Naruto kinda turned me off from Shounen with the TONS of filler…but then I read the manga that helped me a lot lol) I am going as Kisuke Urahara. As soon as I get the costume put together I will be sure to take pictures before the convention >.<
Alright, is anyone going to either of these conventions? If you are, let me know we can meet up or something. This is my VERY first convention so I am crazy excited, just hope things go somewhat as planning.

Lovely! I fully agree. You’ve got a great blog going on here.
Nice, nice, I envy you people that actually have some interesting Con’s instead of some boring like in my country. I only have option to go on Cooking or Book Con (no they don’t have any manga at book con, been then, searched, failed -.-).
Aghh, anyway I should stop talking about myself and wish you luck on Con and make new friends.
haha well thank you…but we will just see how it goes, i am not much of a social butterfly so this might become a living nightmare for someone like me ^^;;
I hope you have fun and good luck with the cosplay. ^ ^
