I've been wanting to know how long you've all been attending cons and such, and what your first cosplays were.

My first con was the very first Kumo, I remember the road trip, it was terrible. My first cosplay was at the same con, I was Henrietta from Gunslinger Girl, and then Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon.

Kumoricon 2004

Missed Kumoricon 2003 by a few days, heard about it from a friend and spazzed out. "THERE'S AN ANIME CON IN OREGON WHAT??!! WE'RE GOING NEXT YEAR!!"

Went as Kagome from InuYasha. Almost didn't cosplay cause I wasnt sure if people would or not, didnt wanna be the odd man out. GLAD I did. Went as a schoolgirl though since I was my first and its simple.

Kumoricon 07 and a horrible horrible Ristuka.

Sakuracon 08 was better, I had a real costume. Ristuka was just thrown together at the last moment. I had a jacket that looked like his and hair kinda the same as his and ears and a tail XD

My first con was Kumoricon '09. I was a rather pathetic looking Zimmy from Gunnerkrigg Courton the last day. However, I suck at makeup, decided to go with my real hair and try to make it black temporarily(which didn't work too well) my shirt was too big, and I ended up looking like a washed-out panda in a sort of schoolgirl outfit. (FAIL) I'd like to think, though, that the first ever cosplay I actually did was when I was nine and dressed up as Misty for Halloween. I was a pretty cool little kid, when I wasn't having emotional instabilities.

My first con was Kumoricon '06. My first cosplay was male-type Ranma Saotome, worn at Kumoricon '07.

Fuyuko · « **Reply #6 on:** July 27, 2010, 01:58:23 am »

Mine was Kumo '06 and I did not cosplay cuz I wasn't at all prepared, being a newborn to the con world at the time. I just threw on a Yu Yu Hakusho tee and a Naruto headband, along with some accessories and anything anime-related I owned. So basically, I looked like a plain otaku.
Oh, and I only went on the last day cuz... well, I didn't know anything. =w=;

My first con was actually AX '07 (I had no idea Kumori-con existed o.o) It was quite amazing despite the lack of any real plans except just walking around in a first cosplay that was Yami Marik, though I was very unprepeared and it was practically closet with no wig (bad idea x.x), with my mama. Not too bad of a time believe it or not~

My first con was kumoricon '08, and my first cosplay was Ichigo Mew from Tokyo Mew Mew~

Kumoricon 2008... I was dressed as Rikku from Final Fantasy X-2 in the white mage dressphere along with two of my friends as Yuna and Paine.

It was a nicely made costume (Our Yuna's aunt is a seamstress and made them for free), but at the time I wasn't as good with make-up as I am now and sucked at posing. So it wasn't as good as it could have been. XD

killblazer · « **Reply #12 on:** July 27, 2010, 02:32:43 pm »

My first con was Sakura-con 2010, I cosplayed as Suzaku Kururugi in his knight of the round costume. I just recently started going to conventions and started to cosplay. I am going to Kumoricon this year in that outfit and also in his Knight of Zero outfit.

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #13 on:** July 27, 2010, 02:50:34 pm »

My first con was Kumoricon 2009 and i was Matt from Death Note the first two days and then i was L from Death Note the last day.

Wow, There's a lot of you guys who are still fairly 'new' to cons and cosplay. I was talking to my friends mom who said she took me to AX in 2000. 10 years of cons and cosplay I'm old haha

kylite · « **Reply #17 on:** July 27, 2010, 08:30:26 pm »

Sakuracon 2004 - did not cosplay and felt totally stupid for not having a cosplay
Kumoricon 2004 - Staffed and cosplayed as Maes Hughes from FMA

everyone thought I was a bellhop >.<

Soramunesanzun · « **Reply #19 on:** July 29, 2010, 07:22:41 pm »

First con was kumoricon '07. Didn't cosplay, though, until 2008's Asian celebration in Eugene. I was a fail! and also casual!Sora (I like to think I have gotten better at him hahaha) If you would like to laugh at my fail and lack of knowledge about binding and glasses-wearing, here is a picture from the event

tas110 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 10, 2010, 06:08:30 pm »

kumoricon 2008 was my first con and my first cosplay was vergil from DMC

lychee-twist · « **Reply #21 on:** August 10, 2010, 06:53:13 pm »

My first con was Kumoricon 2004. They hit the cap, and my friend and I could only get into the dealer's hall. We were fine with that

My first (technical) cosplay was Hanajima Saki from Fruits Basket. I made it in about four hours on an impulse after my friends invited me to Kumoricon '06 and were cosplaying Uotani Arisa from Fruits Basket and Sloth from FMA.

My first real attempt at a cosplay was Alphonse Elric armor version for Sakuracon 2007. $100 and six sheets of cardboard with countless hot gluesticks.

Mine was SakuraCon 2008 and I was....an extremely bad...Alphonse Elric from FMA.

Shadow · « **Reply #28 on:** August 14, 2010, 03:21:33 pm »

Kumoricon '05, and I was Shadow the Hedgehog. It was my first time wearing the costume, so it was pretty bad. XD I look back on that year and cringe. But hey, everyone starts somewhere!

RokusasuKun · « **Reply #31 on:** August 14, 2010, 09:48:55 pm »

...Kumoricon, 2009.
Technically, my 'first' cosplay was at a friends' house and I got bored and tried on her Tifa stuff.
Con-wise, was Haruhi Fujioka, from Ouran High School Host Club from the first episode. Y'know, with the sweater, messy hair and glasses and all that. No one knew who I was T^T

RoscoeTEHclam · « **Reply #32 on:** August 14, 2010, 09:51:22 pm »

*pats* It's alright, no one knew who I was either. Of course, I WAS a lesser known charaxcter, and my cosplay sucked, but...still. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

makichan · « **Reply #34 on:** August 16, 2010, 12:34:39 am »

My first con was Kumoricon 2004.
My first cosplay was actually before I even knew about anime conventions. I went as female-type Ranma for Halloween back in middle school on Halloween AKA a long time ago.

agpgirl · « **Reply #35 on:** August 16, 2010, 01:11:45 am »

Kumoricon 2008, that was my first anime convention x)
I went as Misa Amane from Death Note ^3^

Kagome219 · « **Reply #36 on:** August 16, 2010, 10:16:05 pm »

Sakuracon 2008
Kagome from "InuYasha". It was the best because I got a picture with an older Inu/Kag couple who had awesome cosplay. xD I still want to redo Kagome and make it better.

Kumoricon 2009 *braces for abuse from the other Directors*

And this newb was dressed to impress as Heather Mason from Silent Hill 3,
This year that costume will be much more professionally executed!
There are NO PICTURES of this so... as far as history is concerned, I didn't
exist at the convention... I was a ghost... lurking until I could unleash my
wrath on the convention this year! MUWAHAHA!

2 years ago at K-con. I went as Demyx from KH2(minus his Sitar), and my Organization XIII O.C.

Kato_Shiroi · « **Reply #39 on:** August 17, 2010, 02:05:26 pm »

Hmm, First Convention was Spokane's SciFi, SpoCon around 1985 ish, My cosplay was a Star Trek captain's uniform from the 3rd movie.

As for Anime cons, it was 2004's Sakuracon and I wore a men's traditional silk kimono one day and a matsuri festival Happi coat & headband the next.
