What conventions have you been to?

Post by Phantomj »

I just got back from Game Storm 8, for those whom have no clue the 8 stands for years it has been run. This is a Non Profit gaming convention in the Pacific North West of the U.S.A. It was fun and I'm really tired. Please feel free to come out of the closet of your gaming cons or cons in general.

Well I've been to a load of Anime conventions. Just in 2005 I went to Katsucon, Anime Next, Anime Boston, Otakon, and AUSA, plus a score of smaller ones.

A few years ago, Rannilas, Sladeamx, and I drove up to Orlando for a toy con because the guys from Dreamwave were supposed to be showing up. They never did, and about the only thing to do at a toy con is look at toys, so it pretty much sucked. I did have fun hanging out with my friends though, so it wasn't a total lose.

I've been to several cons in my area, Fanimecon is my favorite, but Wondercon, Sac Con, Comicon are pretty good. I've also been to Anime Expo, but the experience is not particulary good.

I went to Gengis Con, an RPG con that they used to have in Vancouver, a couple of Star Trek conventions, and I went to both Akacons. This year I might go to Anime Evolution in August but I haven't decided yet.

See, I've never heard of conventions in Quebec. The only thing that we have that come close might be the Fantasia festival. They usually show movies from all around, but mainly asian "fantasy" and horror movies that don,t usually come to north american.

We can even have some producers sometimes. This is were I can get glimpses of upcoming anime but they are usually mini series (Boogiepop Phantom, Lain) or feature films such as X the movie, millenium avtess and others.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll look at an anime box set and not wonder if it's really good, or only the cover :)
