Hmmmm...what do I like to do at cons....Well, Celebration II was the first "real" con that I had ever been to of any significant size. I went with a friend who is primarily a collector, so much of our time was spent in the exhibitor hall and store. This has been the same at each con I've been to since. We also have enjoyed getting a few autographs and visiting several of the panel events.
However, after attending CII and CIII I was so completely inspired by all the wonderful people I met and the amazing world of costuming that I made up my mind to get into it myself. My costume at CIV was my first attempt. MAN WAS IT A BLAST!! Everyone in this group, and the others that I have now become associated with, are such great folks and I really enjoy "hanging-out" on the forums here with you all.
I hate that I cannot attend more events right now, but it's certainly on my agenda for the coming years. Running my company keeps me very busy, but my intention is to make the yearly events a must-do so that I can really enjoy hanging at the cons with all of you, more than simply buying merchandise. That is my convention "re-birth"! Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy collecting myself and will continue that, but my primary reason for attending the cons now is the excellent fellowship with all the great fans!
