Outside of Acen and AX10 I really haven't been to cons were there are other editors. At least a good number of them that I know. Most of the time when I go to cons is for the AMV contest/panels, dealers room (now becoming less of a reason since the 95% of the dealers horribly over price their stuff) and as of late working them (Gencon and Across). Even if I go with friends I'll end up taking a right turn without them noticing and I'll be alone for a few hours just walking around completely fine with it. When I went to AX10 I was by myself for most of the time.

Granted in the case of AX10 I did go to the Iron Chef even through I knew one of the editors and was within talking distance of them I didn't talk to anyone. I tend to get really nervous when I'm around other people then I say something really stupid and it just goes downhill from there so I usually avoid saying anything at all. I would like to meet more editors but, I'm bad about taking the 1st step.

Anyway AMV stuff and work...I don't even like panels that much and I find anime viewing rooms and video games rooms boring and unnecessary. Why pay so much if your gonna be doing stuff you can do at home?..Guess the same can be said about AMV viewing

I like to go and buy something from the dealer's room and/or artist alley, but aside from that, I've never been to anything not AMV-related. Contests, panels, Iron Editor, etc are the only things I go to. Then we all go back to the hotel and drink and make-out. That's what AMVs are all about, right?

I wonder if there are more editors in the fests I go :(
Cause everytime I decide to show my face in the few fests I go, people wonder what kind of amv I've decided to bring.
Although what I usually do is to watch what I can buy and wait until the amv contest, people always start talking to me, mainly cause they seem to like everything I make (Thanks AE xD) and cause the vids I have to defeat are WMM vids

I do a mix of both. I make sure to attend the amv events, but I also like to wander around and crowd watch. Oh, and comb through the dealer's room for anything hard to find.

I have met both compbros but never did meet any other editors at the cons I went to. I go to cons for everything. Guests, panels, gaming, etc, but I would like too meet some of you guys but I don't know who's who haha. Next con I go to I'll just yell "HEY THAT'S MY VID!!!" whenever one of mine pops up... Just look for my voice hahaha

I haven't been to any con's but I really want to go. *A* when I'm 16 I plan to go to a lot myself. I would go to the panels and stuff and even cosplay. x3 I'd also love to meet more editors.

For me, it depends on the con. Some (AWA, Tekko), I'm really only attending for the AMV events, and pretty much don't do anything else. Others (AB, CT), while the AMVs are still my primary reason for going, I'll check out other events as well, especially if there's panels on subjects I'm interested in. And there's a couple (AAC, Baku) where I volunteer and help out in places where I can.

I've been going to cons for a long time now, so most of the common events have lost their shine for me, but I have seen some spectacular events and panels over the years.

I remember once in a con I was nominated judge for the cosplay contest, Mainly cause I'm not into the cosplay stuff and cause I wasn't going to ask technical questions, so I was just simply going to say which cosplay reminds me to the anime char the best and then choose the winner :3
Man, amvs here are pretty underrated. Seems that I'm the only guy from the org here cause all the amvs I have to defeat in order to win the contest are all WMM ones

I usually can only afford to go if I have a booth in the Artist Alley. But even when I have a table in the AA i like to get up and go around and enjoy the experience. :)

I haven't gone to any, I actually didn't know about cons till about 2 or so years ago when we had one in my city and I didn't know about it till afterwards... which sucked, and by afterwards I mean like 5 months afterwards :// ...

I would love to go to LOADS of them though, for the whole thing. Meeting editors would be nice, but I also would want to meet other cosplayers (who maybe don't edit =D ), take pictures, visit panels, and buy lots of things =3 AND cosplaying =PP
