| Ready for the next big anime con? Pinching pennies to get that one rare artbook or plushie? Maybe you've got a great new cosplay in the works? Come and lets us know what you have planned out! |

| I've never been to AWA or any anime convention at all. I just, never have the time nor the money to burn. Although I do have a decent amount of anime stuff in my room. Always wanted to go as Char's Zaku II S for fun. Remember reading a copy of Anime Invasion[now Insider] and seeing one of the editors playing ping-pong against a Zaku II costume and always wanted one but in Char's colours. |

| You should definitely make it to an AWA if you get the chance, even if you don't have money to spend. The dealer's room is awesome, but other things like screenings, artist booths, and cosplayers make it a lot of fun even if you're not there to shop. My first year I spent like $50. Last year (07), I spent over $600. (x_X) As for cosplay, I've never cosplayed before. At least, not intentionally. I wore my NISMO (Nissan Motorsports Int.) polo shirt and forgot to shave, so everyone thought I was cosplaying Iketani from Initial D. (~_~) Your Zaku II idea could be fun but I bet that would be hellacious to piece together. If you decide to do it, let us know. |

Last year (07), I spent over $600. (x_X) Ha ha oh WOW that's a lot of money to spend but I see how you could do it. I'd be buying so much stuff my bank account would implode on it's self. I have made plans in the past but my jobs have been 'either you work this day or you're fired' which didn't leave me much choice at the time. I'm gonna try to make it this year though...

(~_~) I bought the live action Initial D movie but the bad music kept me from sitting through the first fifteen minutes of it. I'm gonna try it again someday. Your Zaku II idea could be fun but I bet that would be hellacious to piece together. If you decide to do it, let us know. After seeing someone do a Big O and God Gundam I kinda want to do it even more-so now. Man it's gonna kill my bank account balance if I do. -_- |

| I have been to AWA once, and have always wanted to go again. But like Kisuke said, having the money and or time to go has become a problem. However 08 might be different considering SPSU is not to far away and my budget looks good so far. |
 |
| Yeah i agree that as long as you have the money to get in you should go, regardless if you can buy stuff or not. That was my situation i was in the first time i went. It is a great a fun thing to do. Also there is Momocon. Which last time i knew, i didn't go this year, is held at/near Georgia Tech. Plus it is free to get in. Here is a link to the web site: http://www.onegaistudios.com/momo/ |

| |
| I intended to go to AWA as an urbanized version of Fate/Stay Night's Caster, but in the end, I didn't have enough time to really create the outfit that I wanted. But I fully intend on going this year as..........something. |
| me an some friends are going to awa again this year an we are thinking of doing a air gear theme but first is momo con which is ok small but still ok |
 |
| Is anybody going to MomoCon this weekend? |
 |
| Momocon? I haven't even heard of it. Info? |
| |
| Momo-Con is a small, free convention that they have at Georgia tech every year. It's gets a quite a few people there. I not sure if next year is still gonna be there or be free because of the amount of people that were this year. |
|
| I went the second day with four of my friends, all cosplaying of course. The second day was really fun but I heard from my friends who went both days that the first day was 100 times better. It was still insanely fun. After we hit the dealer's rooms we just sort of walked around singing Never Gonna Give You Up, we made some new friends and all in all a quite enjoyable experience. We're all now eagerly awaiting AWA. |
