You can add Great Lakes Fur Con to my upcoming list. That's all the way out in May, though. I'm thinking about trying to sling some commissions there.

So next year, I'm going to quite a lot of conventions with my con buddies! I recently reserved for two cons in Ohio, home of TS. Reservations for Matsuricon 2016 in Columbus and Colossal Con 2016 in Sandusky (where Cedar Point is). 

 

Other notable cons I'm going to next year are Anime Crossroads, Anime Milwaukee, Shuto Con, ACen of course, Kitsune Kon, and Anime Iowa.

 

It will be a fun year next year! I hope I can see any of you at these cons! Food is on me! :D

Recently, I've been to a convention called "Con Alt Delete 2015" in Rosemont, IL. I also had a new camera at that time so I ended up taking a whole lot of cosplay pictures. Here are all the pics I took from the convention.

I may go to a Con with Melee next year.  We didn't go this year because of RL stuff holding us back.

Myself and a group of friends got our tickets for Anime North 2016 in Toronto. This will be my 6th year in a row going, and I'm really looking forward to it. Myself and a close friend are planning to cosplay as inklings, complete with ink and waterguns that we'll be able to shoot at each other with. (Hopefully. Y'know, convention policies and the such. :P) And if things work out I'll also have a Sans cosplay from Undertale as well. It's pretty much the only convention I do, but it's always a fun time. I always end up finding really cool stuff there and get to talk to some really cool people.

 

It's not until the end of May, mind you. But it's hard to not get a little excited, ha ha.

Anime North must be something. It was ranked the 2nd largest con in North America last year. I know the only con I go to that's closest to you is Youmacon. That's also an amazing con despite being in a shady city like Detroit.

I never actually realized how big Anime North was. ._. I mean, I knew it was big, what with having to cap attendance and how difficult getting hotels can be there, but I didn't think it ranked that high up there.

 

Youmacon's one I've heard quite a bit about. I wouldn't mind trying an out of the country convention at some point - it'd be neat to see other conventions! :3 Won't be anytime soon, since these things add up in cost fast, ha ha.

I used to go to a lot more conventions, but now I usually only go to Ohayocon which is coming up next weekend. I used to go to Armegedicon/ Anime Punch, and Matsuricon which are pretty small (a few hundred people) compared to Ohayocon which is well over 12k now, and grows every year. If anyone lives in the central Ohio area, you should go to Ohayocon.

 

I met Nightmare (JamesQuest creator) at a convention once. I don't think it was OC though, I feel like it was a smaller con that was still at the convention center.
