My Favorite Place: Anime Conventions

Anime conventions are my favorite places to go to! Fortunately I get to go to four conventions a year with my boyfriend, David. We go to Tokyo in Tulsa, Izumicon, Anime Fest, and A-kon. We also go to events held by the conventions like the Tokyo in Tulsa Christmas Party (which was the last event I went to) and a Cosplay Prom.

I love anime conventions because I get to cosplay, meet new friends (and see friends I don't always get to,) and because I can buy a bunch of anime merchandise!

Cosplay means: costume+play. It's more than wearing a costume like you would on Halloween, you actually act (or "play") as the character that you are dressed up as. My favorite cosplay is as Erza from the anime Fairy Tail. It's my favorite because my boyfriend dresses up as Jellal, who is that character's boyfriend with me, so we do a "couple's cosplay"!

I also love dressing up as Erza from Fairy Tail, because I have over 30 friends that I see at conventions who also dress up from Fairy Tail. That's including my best friend, Julie, who lives in Tulsa. She cosplays as Lucy from Fairy Tail.

I get to see Julie, and most of those friends at Tokyo in Tulsa, which is one of the reasons why that is my favorite convention that we go to.

I also love going to Tokyo in Tulsa because it is a smaller convention, so it has more of a community and family feel to it.

The next event I'm going to is the Cosplay Prom in April, and then A-Kon in June, and I literally cannot wait to go back to my favorite place!
