Well I'm in Texas which is huge so if there wasn't a bunch of cons I'd be worried.
I can't even name all the texas cons xD

I get a few.. that i`m aware of.
I`m only able to go to AnimeNorth though. Don`t have the funds to go to the others. ><

If you prereg it's less expensive, and I never buy anything at cons cept pocky and ramune xD

Otakon is the closest convention for me and it will be my first.

Ota is huge oAo
You going with friends?

Aw! These are so cute :3 It makes me wish I could pixel things too

Omg, you have a super cute avi Atkdid!

I'm supposed to be, though I plan on taking the train so I don't have to drive. Three hours is icky :P

@EverlastingRitz aw thank you so much! Yours is so much more coordinated than mine! and adorable! xD

@@Fidelis;;
Mmkay, make sure that none of y'all wander around alone, and your celly is as loud as it can go. I've had friends go missing at big cons, and someone I knew actually got raped oAo it's horrible what can happen if you don't have someone with you.

@@atkdid;;
Psssh, whatever. I just keep throwing on whatever I like :'P
yours looks like it has some rhyme and reason to it

@EverlastingRitz
Haha oh really? I've never had any rhyme or reason xD that requires some preplanning and patience

well you kept with the pink and green, so there's some sense there :'>

That isn't too hard, everything I own is either pink, orange or green c:

O>O CONVENTION RAPE?!

@@atkdid;;
It is easy when everything you own is the same color scheme, I always buy red/black/white stuff first and then buy other colors if I have the money xD
cause they're the easiest to make an avi with xD

@@Fidelis;;
yeah, cause most conventions are held in hotels, and even if you see their face there's so many people you'll prolly never find them to convict them.

Hm...yea I guess.

I'm not trying to turn you off from going!
Just make sure that you're with at least one other person at all times.

Easier said than done. Maybe I should bring my foil with me...

pepper spray
;'>
it's the best self defense thing since the gun xD

It is; I think you save $5 off the regular price? :lol: It`s not much but it`s still better.
I buy everything but food from cons because I can find them elsewhere. I mainly buy the things from Artists' Alley because my mother refuses to let me buy online.

Also about the convention rape: I say that it`s ridiculous (now I`m not trying to bash your friend) but were they intoxicated? ; A;
Because this year, one of the people I went with got drunk and was stumbling around everywhere and sorta showed everyone cleavage..... and I swears! They would have gotten raped if not for our demanding her hold our hands everywhere she went.

Depends on how early. I know that the con I do, it's like 15 if you reg like the moment pre opens and normal is like 35 or something like that. Smaller con, and most of the guests come just to come, we've only paid for a few

I rarely buy things, I love to sit and chat with artists, I even got a lesson from one once~
Last year, other than food, I bought 2 phone charms and wooden cat ears for my friend cause his cosplay needed them xD

No, she's was underage[though that usually doesn't matter, but she was marked as my responsibility and my godfather was head of security so there would've been SERIOUS trouble] and she's a good girl. And in the 30 minutes that I didn't have my eye on her it happened. But this was the largest con in our area and that hotel connects to two others and there was also some big basketball game going on and apparently some big business thing too. [yeah, that year was INSANE]

Hm...
Pervy moe men probably got to her.

Also. Bear spray > Pepper Spray

I've never used bear spray okay?
