Hey guys. Since there's no newbie threads, I'll just introduce myself here. My name is Kyle.

MOVING ON!

I'm going to my first anime convention sometime in March. Can anyone give me some advice?

This is a forum, not a chat room. Don't expect responses so soon, especially concerning a small local con such as Tekkoshocon.

Tekko! <3 Tekko is small, so it's nice as a first con. (The first one was my first con, actually. I'm such a newbie. Aww.)

Program book. Read it. Go to whatever strikes your interest. That's about it. Be courteous and considerate - don't talk through screenings (hello guy next to me in the 2005 AMV screenings I hope you never come back), push or crowd out people in the dealers' room, or block hallways if you can help it. There are a lot of people in a very small area and half of us are sleep-deprived. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

You'll probably wind up standing in lines a few times, so bring something to read / a handheld game system of your choice / some friends who aren't going to want to kill you after three days.

Eat something. This is a convenient con for that because the mall's food court is right across the way. Not exactly classy, but convenient, especially if you're a chibi-otaku on a high-schooler's budget. Also sleep. And drink water. And bathe. They tell everyone that in every program book, but do they listen? Noooo.

The Tekkoshocon forums seem really close-knit and are probably quite helpful if you have specific questions.

Have fun. And FYI, it's the last day of March and the first two days of April. ;)

And buy stuff from the Artists' Alley people. ;P

Just confirmed my hotel room and made a reservation.

Therefore, I'll be there this year.

Can't wait. :D

I guess considering I have to handle the amv contest I get to make the 700 mile trek for the second year. However The con is small and fun, hence why i travel so far for it. At least this time I know better than to take the bus that distance.

Having been to Tekko, I must say that it was DARLING! The DJ for the dance sucked, which was bad considering it was the VA for Goku/Satoshi/Chrono. ;-; *tear*

But other than that (and the Writing Panel, AHAHAHAHA- *ahem*), this convention is truly a great one for a beginner to try out! ^.^ *was a n00b, but the cherry is broken, huzzah!*

That was fun. I didn't make any AMV showings because of sheer laziness, unfortunately, but thank you so much, Illia, for making the effort for this little con. :)

It was a great convention from beginning to end.

I'm definitely planning on going to next year's con. :D
