Cosplay and Conventions Anyone know?

Hey, does anyone know where I can find a list of anime fests to come, cus i wanna see if there are any that are gunna happen around my town.

 

If I remember correctly there is a fairly extensive list at A Fan's View (don't particularly care for the people who run the site, but it's a list). You might also consider checking Anipike or Anime on DVD for information.

Hope that this helps!

If you get NewType monthly they have a list in there but there are less con's after the summer so check newtype and that's it bye

 

yesyes, NewType monthly gives a bunch of lists........hehe I WENT TO BAAF!!!!!!!!!!
teeheeheetee bwahahahh!!

 

Thanks!! I've been looking for something like that too.
Aparently some gigantic con is coming around Boston in April. Maybe I'll go there (if I ever get a job to pay for it) and it would be my very first anime convention
I've been to 3 Star Trek conventions, but none of them were very big. The big ones cost about $1000 for admission alone! I havn't figured out how much admission to the Anime Boston con is, but who knows what'll happen
Basically, I havn't ever been to a large con before, especially an anime one.

A THOUSAND AMERICAN FOR ADMISSION?!

Sarah, darling, you've been looking in all the wrong places. Go to the CN Anime/Sci Fi con in August in Toronto, admission is about 40 bucks Canadian.

 

Star Trek cons can be up to $1000 for admission, not anime cons. The most I ever payed was $200 for admission.
But when you pay that much it means that the admission comes with certain privilages that cheaper tickects don't get. For example, with the $200 Star Trek admissions ticket, I got about 10 autographs from the stars with it. I managed to combine 4 autographs on 2 items that, with the autographs, sell for $50 each (and I framed them later for $35.)
So the $1000 con tickets come with $1000 worth of stuff. If you pay the cheapest price, chances are you'll just be alowed through the door and you're not allowed anything else.

Bah, we get to pick and choose what we want. If I had a thousand bucks AMERICAN to spend like that...

I mean, when I wanted the signature of Denise Crosby, I went to her booth, got the sig, and paid 20 bucks Canadian. When I wanted Chekov (I forget his real name) to sign my Wrath of Kahn dvd case, I went to his booth, paid 10 American. Same goes for Scotty.

My dear, I think you were gypped.
