My favorite things to do at a con... definitely the dealer's room & artist alley. I also like watching the masquerade contest. Concerts are fun too.
& that moment when a convention inside joke is created.


While waiting for the masquerade contest to start at Youmacon that's when the host will do a few inside jokes. My favorite one is when he brings out a chair from last years con and everyone in the crowd yells out "Chair"!! I always like to explore the dealers room and artist alley to see what's new.

1. I love taking pictures of cosplayers.

2. Cosplaying of course! I fine it fun to cosplay, especially sometimes I might get my picture taken. c:

3. Panels. I enjoy going to the panels. They're exciting and most of them are funny. (Especially Ask Panels and Q & A Panels)

4. Dealers Room and Artist Alleys. I love going to those. They're usually one of the first things I go to when I go to a convention. Different items, especially items on sale that can be useful for future cosplays.

5. Meeting cosplayers, talking to them, and making new friends at a convention.

Being a photography I'm usually just behind the camera, but I don't have a problem taking photos of friends or cosplayers together, I know the joy of singing. I sang in a church choir for 5 years. Did you sing at a Karaoke contest and what other competitions were you in?

Everything is really good in your list. I have started to go to panels myself and they are fun. The dealers room and artist alley is a must. I have to make a list of what I want the most before a con because I want to buy everything. smile I love meeting all of the artists and asking questions about their work. I have a few Cosplay friends now and it's great to have people that have something like this in common with you. smile

Good list. What foods have you eaten at a con. One of my favorites is Pocky. National Pocky day was Nov 11th btw. Meeting new people is fun. Sometimes you find people that share the same interests as you. I often start talks with asking about their Cosplay outfit.

It was so much fun! The waitresses and waiters were dressed as lolitas and maids/butlers. There was tea and sweets and it was served in fancy matching teacups and plates. It was really funny watching people dressed as really tough characters sip tea and eat desserts.

1 ) Meeting new people/making friends
2 ) Trying the new mysterious snacks they have (I'm either loving it or running to the nearest trash can each time)
3 ) Dealers room (I always end up broke at the end of the weekend. A once a year spoil treatment)
4 ) Cosplay Chess (About the closest I'll ever getting to playing chess.)
5 ) Cosplay Contests (Always feeling a bit adventurous to try it out each year.)
6 ) Photoshoots ( I love taking pictures with other cosplayers from the same series)
7 ) The panels (I am never failed to be amazed or amused by them)
8 ) Artist Alley (I just love seeing some of the amazing sketches that the artist create. I am both nervous and excited to be doing my own table this year)
9 ) Avoiding getting kidnapped (I wouldn't say I enjoy it, but it seems to become a yearly thing. There's always someone attempting or wanting to kidnap me. It only happens when I cosplay as Miku though)

I'm bumping this thread. I REALLY like the raves now. I used to avoid them, but now I enjoy them quite a lot. Heck, I even met my best friend at Sugoicon's rave last year.

It's fun to interact with other dance crews and I won't lie, I like to show off during raves. My dance crew mostly Melbourne Shuffle and I'll occasionally do Jumpstyle. We're called the Hardstyle Heroes and we're from the Midwest. We'll be at Matsuricon in Columbus this year

I love meeting people at Cons! I've met some of my best friends through conventions!
