THE SUPA DUPA CONVENTION THREAD

Post by Van0079 »

Because I didn't see one. Which means either I'm going blind or there isn't one. Hopefully the latter.

So, any conventions you're planning to go to? Any Cosplays? Perhaps we can do a meetup if enough of us go to one.

I myself will attempt to go to Anime STL next weekend, if I'm lucky. It's in the St. Louis area, so hopefully someone else on this site is nearby and might be able to go.

I go to Sakuracon every year in Seattle but that's about it. I'm not hardcore enough to go to a convention in every other state lol. It's has evolved a lot since I've started going. Also really fun to go to if you can grab a bunch of friends to go with ya.

Wow that's still around?! I went to it in 2001 for a VOOT tournament. I still have the program guide to prove it:

I started Sakuracon a bit late. I didn't get into it until 2005 in when a co-worker suggested I go with him. I never knew people did these things. Now it's done at the Seattle Convention Center. This year's roster was around 19k people attending. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakura-Con Getting more popular it seems :)

When I was there it was held in the Everett Holiday Inn. Looks like it's come a long way!

I dug up my Sakura-Con 2001 pics. Here's a sample... I don't remember what was happening but I'm pretty sure I was about to destroy Quad. :lol:

Notice the ghetto iteration of my arcade Twin Sticks. 8-)
