So, I will be attending my first ever anime convention in July. It's the Anime Midwest in Chicago and lasts 3 days Friday-Sunday. I actually talked Josh into coming with me as well. I asked Mom if she wanted to go with and she said yeah but sometimes she can't make it so we shall see about that.
Anyways, I'll be cosplaying as Gasai Yuno. I kinda have an outfit for her as you all have seen.. but I know I can make one/modify the outfit I have now to make it a lot better. I also just found out I am allowed to bring my real katanas but I'm thinking about making a wooden one anyways for other conventiosn I might go to in the future that doesn't allow that. My uncle does woodworks and I might have him help me make one... if it's too complicated or costs too much I might just buy one of those wooden training ones for $10 online.

They have sooo many panels and events to do! They have a cosplay formal dance and even give formal dancing lessons for it. There will be a rave, gaming room and soooo much more. If you live near Chicago and like anime you should check it out! It's $30 for the whole weekend if you get your tickets before May is over. Then I think its like $35-$40. Not expensive at all! It's hosted at the O'hare Hotel Regency so you can book a room there for $100 which isn't bad at all. I think we might get a hotel room for 1-2 days depending on if we can save up enough money in time.

But yeah...very excited!
