Attending Your First Convention
It’s like your first day of high school. Sure, you’ve got the program, the schedule of events, but where the hell are you actually going? And why is Vash making out with a distinctly female Miroku?
Welcome to an anime convention.
You’ve picked out the con, pre-registered, gotten a hotel room, sworn to your parents that they would not be hearing from the local authorities, and now you are finally standing on the threshold of a new part of your life.
Sooner or later, you’ll have to come out of the corner and interact. Hopefully you’ve brought some friends, maybe they even know what they are doing. So where do you go from here?
Let’s take a look why you came to the convention. Is it your love of anime? Did you come along to socialize with your friends? Looking to put yourself in debt buying things you can’t usually find on this side of the ocean? Planning to educate yourself with panels? Or did you just have to meet that certain voice actor?
