What is the number of conventions you go to in a year?

[genestarwind21122]

I just want to see how many conventions other creators go to in a year time frame. This year I'm going to 4 of them, Katsucon, Anime Next, Otakon, and AUSA. I was thinking about Animazement, but that would mean a convention in Feburary, May, June, August, and sometime around November. And then starting in 2006 I'll be running my first convention. More information about this will be posted as I continue getting arrangments made. So at what point do you say you have had enough conventions for a year?

I usually try to hit most of the Florida cons, including : Megacon, FITcon, Metrocon, Anime Festival Orlando, Yasumicon, and (the one out-of-state con I attend) Anime Weekend Atlanta. So, if I manage to make it to all of the above, that's six. Whether or not that happens largely depends on my workload.

So at what point do you say you have had enough conventions for a year?

When the money runs out.

I generally go to (in order):

Katsucon
JACON
Otakon
AWA
Anime USA

I've been known in the past to also go to:

Animazement
Neko-con
Anime Expo
A-kon

But the 5 up top are the ones I pretty much go to every year.

2003: Otakon (family (minus mother, plus Cyanna) went)
2004: AnimeNEXT (was in-state so I could day-trip there), Otakon (same as last year)

2005 (projected): AnimeNEXT (same as last year), Otakon?
I might consider AnimeBoston, except that it's the weekend before finals, and I KNOW it wouldn't be good for me to be out that weekend.

Yeah, me = poor college student.


(Cons I'm planning to <i>send videos</i> to: Sakura-Con, AnimeBoston, AnimeCentral, AnimeNEXT, FanimeCon?, Anime Expo?, Otakon, AWA, Nan Desu Kan... depending on how many videos I complete this year. )

Three on average.

Anime Expo - The clostest convention to me, the largest and my favorite.
Yaoi-con - I work there afterall
AWA - Second favorite con, the AMV presence is what got me there.

For the past few years, it's been
Katsucon
Animazement
Anime Mid-Atlantic
Anime Expo
Otakon
AWA
AnimeUSA
Nekocon

So that's eight. However, only seven in 2004, since AMA and Animazement were the same weekend. Nekocon kinda sucked last year, so I might not go again. Maybe I'll give Acen another shot, even though it sucked too a few years ago. Maybe I'll stop wasting my time at cons and actually make AMVs again. Maybe I'll make another Naruto/Linkin Pork video. EVERYONE loves them!
