Well I have been hovering over Shimakon website since last year when I was going to try and attend the con but to no avail.

So now I finally stumbled across the forum in an attempt to see how I can go about getting a table for this year and well just to hang out with all of you.

I still haven't looked around quite much but can't wait for this year's con. I hope to be able to chat with you all here in the forums and please be gentle with me I never got the hang of these things.

Well a bit about myself:
I am 25 years old yeah I am old. I have loved anime since I first saw Sailormoon on tv when I was in 5th grade. Yeah most people don't like Sailormoon but along with Dragonball and DragonballZ it helped launch my passion for anime and manga.

Dragonball Z is still one of my favorite animes.

Well I think that is enough about myself to absorb in one time.

Hey there~ :D Welcome to the forums!

Sailor Moon and Dragonball were also what got me into anime, so you're not alone! XD

Sailor Moon for me. ^-^

I think Sailor Moon was the first for alot of us XD
aww, and welcome to the forums! Hope to see you around here often! Not to mention, mini-events and let's not forget the convention itself!

A lot, yes, but not me xD My firsts were actually Evangelion, and an Ecchi anime (I watched it accidentally xD; ) called Cutie Honey xDD

But Sailor Moon was a bit after Evangelion for me -nod-

Aww thankyou you all for the very nice and warm welcomes!!!

Yeah its great to know I wasn't flinched for watching anime alot of people don't like it and hate to hear that it helped start someone on anime.

Can't wait to go to the con its a good thing I got 2 more before this one to keep me from going out of my mind from waiting.

which ones would those be?

Akon 19 in Dallas, Texas
May 30 to June 1

and

RealmsCon in Corups Christi around September I think they haven't given the new date for it this year.

awesome i want to go to akon but its too far away....maybe ill hit up the corpus one

Cool don't forget to check out their site when ever they do update it with the new date for this year...the con was somewhat small but the dealer's room was nice and had tons of cool stuff.

Hope this year the artist alley is worth walking down the hall and back
