Sadly, NC only has one anime con (or at least, from what I've researched) D: Its at the Raleigh Convention Center, from May 22-24 (Memorial Day weekend) I'm going for the first time this year, and was wondering if anyone (only 2 members, noted xD) has gone or is planning to? Here's a link to the official site, which I'm sure would be better than me trying to talk about it here::

Hell yeah, I'm going. I can't wait, it's my first con. My brother has always gone and now I'm finally going. I'm really looking forward to it.

They aren't letting us bring our own food though :( Or at least, that's what the site says.

Haha, now all of the cosplayers are going to invade local restaurants~~ >:3

No, I'm not cosplaying. I don't have the materials for something like that and I don't even know a character I'd want to cosplay as anyway.

I went!!! It was awesome!

My mom went, too. Mainly because I can't exactly go by myself. Though she does watch anime and read manga, too.

Ahhhhhhh!!! It was soooo fuuun <3 <3 I did get my cosplay done, so everything worked out well (I think I was the shortest Ed there..... wait, is that good? Or bad? LOL) I've already gotten my pass/badge/3-day-ticket/whatever for next year, too!

My mom went too; she watched a Gundam movie and is now obsessed with anime... Now she won't leave me alone about it =-=; I'm going to get some more DVDs soon though, but I don't think FMA is necessarily a good thing to start her out on~

Yes!! Somebody from MAL is going to be at Animazement? This just totally equals extra extra awesome! I went this year for only Saturday and I'm pre-reg for next year.

Totally have to have a MAL meet-up at Animazement! I don't know any real anime fans in North Carolina and I'd love to meet some~

THIS IS...SPAAAAAAAAAAARTA!!!

The only people I see often who like anime I got into and they aren't even remotely addicted to it like me >D
I'm just excited cause next week I'm going to start Public School again after having been home-schooled for 6 years and the school I'm going to has an Anime club~ So hopefully I'll meet some people who like anime there >3 And maybe even Pokemon fans XP

XD I almost suspect I'll get me-haters because of the things I like and dislike which vary greatly from the things that most of the high schoolers I know like.

I'm going to have a Poochyena Gijinka for Animazement if I'm lucky~ I'm still trying to find a good wig, but so far it looks like I'm going to have to style a wig by myself.
The design I've thought up for the Gijinka looks really cute, though >D I just need a good drawer to sketch it out for me ._.;;

Same here. I hate the stuff most kids like, and vise versa. XD:;;

I can draw pretty well... I did the art that's the background of my anime/manga lists lmao.

ANYWAY...

At Animazement, I'm going to go as L (I GOING TO DO A GOOD ONE. NOT A CRAPPY ONE. My face is actually a good shape for his hair, so I won't totally fail as much as the other ones...), Fai (reusing this one, since I like it a lot XD), and Dark. The wings should be done by then. LOL

I know for sure that I'll be there as Casual!Allen from D.Gray Man. But rather or not I can go as my Poochyena Gijinka depends on how fast I can finish the costume once I get my sewing machine for Christmas >3

I can probably draw the thing for you; I made a pattern for my Mokona plushie. XD

Right now I'm making a Death Note for Kira-kunz, so I couldn't do it today..

LOL that reminds me when I went to the AnimeIowa convention last weekend we found a piece of meat that someone had sewed.

So anyway, that'd be awesome, I'll just need to see if I can get a good enough description for it soon

Gonna pre-reg for next year soon :D
My cosplays planned right now are Chrome Dokuro from KHR!, Mio Akiyama from K-ON!, Skuntank Gijinka from Pokemon, and either female! Hibari Kyoya from KHR!, Natsuhi Ushiromiya From Umineko, or Bernkastel from Umineko, although it'll most likely be Natsuhi~

I really want NOIZ to come back though~ They were awesome :3

I'm definitely going to the next one. I'm preordering tickets within the next couple of weeks for me and about 3 friends. I already got us a hotel room as well.

I may cosplay as Viral from TTGL.

I wanted my group to dress as pieces of TTGL and we could form together voltron-style, but noooo, apparantly that's too complicated...

Where is your burning spirit?!

Rawwwrrr~!
I plan on driving up there in May. This will be my first HUGE convention, but I did go to one in October called Library Con. It was down the street from my house. ;]

I plan on bringing a bus load of people with me. >D
Hotels will be packed with Otaku's left and right. Ohhh, I can't wait. ;3
