Hi, I am new (this is my first post) and have never been to an anime convintion, never cosplayed, and am slightly lost. But, I am planning on going as Belldandy from Oh My Goddess in her blue goddess dress, Dark Chii from Chobits, and one of the three days my younger sister (who is also going as Anna from Shaman King and Peach from Mario/Nintendo) and I are both going as just Neko School Girls. Also my younger bother is accompaning us and so far has only decided to go as Maximillion Pegasus from Yu-Gi-Oh.
Also I was wondering if anybody would be kind enough to write to me and answer questions I have about Kumoricon and convintions in general, Llike: The cosplay contest is where people get up on stage and do skits, right? So does the skit have to have any thing to do with your charactor, or can it be just random weird-ness? Also do they provide food at conventions, like booths where you can buy stuff, if not does the hotel have anything like that or do we pretty much have to bring lunch or go down town in Portland to eat? Finally, how long does Kumoricon last each day? All day long, or only part of the day? Does any one know the hours? Thank you very much to any one who can answer my questions and sorry, this post is a little off subject......
