The first time I went to an anime convention was probably my favourite, it was by completely accident.
My friends and I had a hotel party and the hotel was part of an anime convention. The original plans were to drink to some great music and then hit the clubs. Instead, we decided to attend the anime convention after a few drinks. There was a dance/rave within walking distance, seemed like the better choice.
I think half of my friends hooked up with someone that night, something I never expected (later found out that it was quite common at these conventions). As a result, we decided to stay the entire weekend. We met some good people during the 2nd day and held an even bigger party that night. The energy was incredible for the whole weekend, I think it was the spontaneity newness of the whole thing.
Coming off Otakon, I can't say I don't wish I'd hooked up with someone. Would've been fun.
At the brentalfloss panel, we started singing one of his songs (me and 2 others about 30 feet away from him)
this started to get everyone to sing, and then Brent jumped on the table and started singing along. Pretty awesome.
