Fall anime conventions
I took yet another trip back to Arizona this year and attended Saboten Con - the largest anime convention in the Arizona/New Mexico area. It was a fun con, and it was good to see some of my Arizona friends. But I'm slowly starting to make some friends here in New Mexico as well. In November, I will attend a New Mexico anime convention called Con Jikan. This is a first time con, and the first Albuquerque con that started in Albuquerque as opposed to Phoenix or Denver. New cons are good for people who are new to participating in panels and masquerades. I would like to try to put on a villains Q&A panel at this con. It would consist of a couple of panelists dressed up as villain characters that entertain some questions - some submitted in advance, and some asked by the audience. But I doubt this will happen, as it seems like no one is willing to help. But I might do a walk on in the masquerade with my costume of Yue from Cardcaptor Sakura AKA Cardcaptors. That's a pretty presentable costume.
