 I've been to a couple fan conventions before - Dad took me to a Star Trek convention when I was younger, as well as a couple comic book conventions. I haven't been to any in my adult life, but recently I've enjoyed reading about anime conventions on blogs like Zannah's, and I've been fascinated with cosplay (short for "costume play", dressing up as your favorite characters) galleries on different sites. When I was reading NewType USA the other day, I noticed there was an anime convention coming up soon, and after I checked out the website, I decided I had to go! So, my pal Chris (who is so understanding of my addictions) and I are attending A-Kon 16 in Dallas at the beginning of June! I think it's going to be so much fun - I'm sure I will take hundred of photos of people in costume. I'm also psyched about the other activities like arcade rooms (hello, DDR!), J-pop video rooms, and of course a huge dealers room (where I will spend lots of money). They are also getting some J-pop artists together for a concert! Last year I think there were 8,000 attendees, so this will definitely be a crazy event. I can't wait!
