... attend anime conventions in the NC/SC area? I've got a convention next weekend and was wondering if any members here would be there.

And once again I'm at a Quality Inn, this one in Fort Mill, South Carolina.



To celebrate, I want to share an AMV I recently completed. You can watch it here:

... in light of the epic flooding in the Carolinas...

I AM SAFE.

I live in a part of North Carolina that was spared the worst of the storm - we had days of continuous rain, but nowhere near the amounts that fell in central and coastal South Carolina that's currently wreaking havoc.

Still, I know many people, both family and friends that I frequently meet up with at anime conventions, who do live in the hardest hit areas, and I do constantly worry about...

... and why can't I select "Charlotte-Mecklenburg Metropolitan" or "Rock Hill/Fort Mill/York County, South Carolina" as my preferred region?

To hell with it, I'm leaving it blank then.

I will be attending the following anime conventions this year if anyone is looking to meet me in person (most likely in cosplay, which is an added bonus)
NashiCon, Columbia, SC (April 17-19)
Animazement, Raleigh, NC (May 22-24)
Hoshicon, Charlotte, NC (July 17-19)
Otakon, Baltimore, MD (July 24-26)
Kantaicon, Charleston/Mt. Pleasant, SC (August 21-23)
Banzaicon, Columbia, SC (October 30-November 1)

Two additional cons (Colossalcon and Nekocon)...
