First timers: How was it?
« on: September 18, 2008, 04:17:04 am »
Yeah, for some of us, this was our first KumoriCon ever! Myself included.

What I want to do here is to ask ya KC first-timers: Did ya like it? What was your fave parts? Would you come back?

1. Yeah, I sure did. It was great beyond my wildest dreams! The sad part: Now every con seems like an annual rite of passage for me- the excitement that I have pre-con: Gone! :(

2. I liked Anime Jeopardy. Surely, I knew more than I did on my anime. Oh, and the photoshoots were fun.

3. Yeah, I will. But I am stuck between this con and Anime Vegas for 2009- help!

If you want to add your own Qs, feel free. :D


A proud attendee of Kumoricon and SakuraCon.

Well, I was at K-con for a while on the first day last year, but this was my first full con adventure (as in, coming to the con all three days and staying most of the time).
They were the happiest three days of my entire summer, if not my entire life. ;A;
I mean, I got a photograph with two Pyramid Heads and stumbled across a Princess Tutu photoshoot in the same day.
*GLEE* >W<
So much fun. I'm so coming back next year...to give people more seizures of joy from all my colors~ :3

I had a blast, even though I missed a bunch of panels. I might even cosplay next year...

It was epic win. I am definately comming back next year.  :) That was a lot of fun.

Though now as far as dances go, I'm a little depressed because none of them live up to the raves.

Kumoricon was my first convention and now I'm a cosplay ADDICT!
I liked all of the panels, and the photoshoots.
the cosplay contest was hilarious, the dances were amazing, and everyone almost always seemed to be bubbly and friendly!
But the main thing I love anout Kumoricon is that just about EVERYONE is cosplaying!
me and my friends have already decided on coming back next year!!

I thought it was a great con.  I loved all the panels I went too, they were a lot of fun.  Much more interesting than the panels at AX this year.  And I love that it is in Portland.  And that because it is over the long weekend I know I can always go.  And I was able to introduce one of my friends to the anime convention scene.  Think she will be going next year.  That makes it a lot of fun too, playing guide and the like.

My only problem actually the behavior of some of the participants.  I felt really bad for the Double Tree staff and non con people staying there because you had the people running around playing super loud music, ect.  And some of the rooms?!?!  Know for a fact of one room where the bed was not usable because it had been thrown up on.  That is just disgusting. 

I guess it was just having it so entwined with the hotel just did not strike me as a great thing.  But it is still small enough that they cant be moving it to a non-hotel facility.

So overall, had a lot of fun during the con, but cant wait until we are bigger and can move to a non-hotel location, though I am looking forward to seeing what it is like at the Hilton this coming year.

4th year anniversary for me and still loving it!

It's three days away from my real life. What a blast!

Love all the people, panels, COSPLAYS, and atmosphere. (ahem, except for random glomps)

 :-*

I think I should stop spending 70% of my time in gaming, tho'....it's fun there too! One of these years, when I am brave enough, I will sing Karaoke and perhaps...do a skit. Oh, boy...
And so it begins...

This was my first KumoriCon, and I LOVED it!  Like shanime_panda, I'm hooked on cosplay. :P

I loved the panels I went to, the cosplay contest, all the cosplayers, the photos, the atmosphere...  everything!

Heck yes I'm going to come back!  My sister wants to as well. :3

I'm glad that you had fun. Hanging out with you and your sister made the whole thing a lot more fun and now I absolutely can't wait for sakuracon. I need to get new material to redo my belt >_> Maybe this weekend, like Sunday or so, want to go with me Toxikon?

Sure, where are you going to go?

Also, to stay on topic, I especially enjoyed the Slightly Anime Dating Game.  I'm really looking forward to it!  I'd like to participate, but don't know if I could think on my feet fast enough.
