Guest Saiyaman Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 [b][size=1]|Thanks for the link but I ain't jelaous. O.o[/b][/size]
XxmagentaxX Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 I wasn't jealous at first.. but now i am.... Michelle Williamson is going to be there... i hate you... Michelle Williamson is my favirite dub voice actor... and Crispin Freeman is gonna be there.... I wish i lived in Illinois... :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: But I live in Cali and get to go to Anime Expo in July...
Cibo Posted April 13, 2002 Author Posted April 13, 2002 LOL. I really want to go to the Anime Expo in Cali...but not this year. :(
Guest Imsirion Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 I'd love to go to one, the closest thing that came up to Seattle (that i know of) was some pokemon thing. I live in a small town thats about a hour and a half drive to Seattle and theres not much anime things around here, cept a few shops probably somewhere.:o
Kinetic Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 I'm jealous, but I know one comes here soon, so oh well heh
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 :) Well unfortunately I don't have money to go all the way over to that convention, thanks to my recent purchase of various anime titles! However I have gone to various anime conventions in the past and I hope you enjoy this experience if it is your first time at one!:)
Cibo Posted April 14, 2002 Author Posted April 14, 2002 Rick, what can I expect from this? I plan on going there to see the opening ceramony and everything for the 3 days. Any advice?
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 :) Well here is some good advice, 1.)Get to the convention right when it opens! 2.)Stay till the closing! 3.)If possible dress in cosplay (however I never have)! 4.)Don't rush to buy the first anime you see at a booth, look around through multiple booths to compare prices since every retailer will sell for a higher or lower price! 5.)Get some autographs! 6.)Request some rough sketches by anime artist, I have and sometimes they will grant your request, however Akira Toriyama won't! 7.)Have fun and socialize you'd be suprised how many new friends, and connections you can make at a convention! This is the way I was able to get so much anime, and have the connections that I currently have!:D
Cibo Posted April 14, 2002 Author Posted April 14, 2002 How in the heck can I dress in Cosplay? I have no idea where to start even. And I was thinking about staying all 12 hours down there. Must...watch...must...need....anime... I'm gonna bring lots of pens and a notebook just in case for autographs...(I hope they allow backpacks). And you think the anime artists will actully draw me anime style? That would be sweet if they did. And I'll be the most friendly person there...would love to have Rick Hunter kind of connections. :)
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 Well to dress in cosplay you would need to make an outfit that would look like your favorite anime character, sometimes this can be really expensive or your costume could end up horrible, it all depends on your making skills! As for them drawing you in an anime style way, they probably won't do that, however you can get some raw sketches of certain anime characters! I was lucky enough to get some raw sketches of various Tenchi Characters during my last convention!
Cibo Posted April 14, 2002 Author Posted April 14, 2002 Ah I see...well it looks like I'm gonna have to buy more batteries for my digi cam and more memory cards because I'll be taking tons of pics for everyone to see. I'll post them if anyone wants.
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 That should be interesting the next time I find pics, and finally buy my much needed scanner I will post some pics, of previous conventions I have been too! Well hope you enjoy your convention! Is this your first one by any chance?:therock:
Cibo Posted April 14, 2002 Author Posted April 14, 2002 Yup it is...if it wasn't, I wouldn't be asking all sorts of these questions. Hehe, just found the postcard in with the junk mail on accident (dunno how long its been there, ugh!) and was glad its this coming weekend. Ugh, can't wait. Must....cram....anime....
Zachary Posted April 16, 2002 Posted April 16, 2002 Im not jelous, i live in illinois, and im going to the anime convention. April 19 - 21. I heard about it from Suncoast.
Cibo Posted April 29, 2002 Author Posted April 29, 2002 Update...well my wallet is alot lighter. But OMG that was sooo fun. :D
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted April 30, 2002 Posted April 30, 2002 Glad to hear the convention was fun, did you follow the rules and advice I gave you Chibo?
Cibo Posted April 30, 2002 Author Posted April 30, 2002 Chibo? hehe I guess I followed them...I didn't get kicked out once...hehe
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted April 30, 2002 Posted April 30, 2002 ;) Well did you get any rough sketches of anime characters, or were you not as fortunate as I have been in the past with that request!
Cibo Posted April 30, 2002 Author Posted April 30, 2002 I knew a few people that did, but I didn't get any sketches. For my first time going, I didn't go to many workshops as I would have liked. Next year I'll spend less time in the Game room and go to more workshops hopefully. And take more pictures, didn't take any this year...was in awe at everything. :)
ArchAngelmon805 Posted May 2, 2002 Posted May 2, 2002 Hey Cibo if you are talking about the chicago con i was there and got Philip Moy, guy who draws powerpuff girls autograph and he did a rouch sketch for me, i had a lot of fun, think next time i shall dress up, also took a lot of pictures too.
Cibo Posted May 2, 2002 Author Posted May 2, 2002 Ya, the chicag con is called ACen. I didn't get any autographs because I didn't feel like standing in those long *** lines. And I dunno if I'll dress up next year or not.
MarkM Posted May 2, 2002 Posted May 2, 2002 I want to go mabye it will cum to my home town but i dont know how to check!
