I've been to an anime convention before. I've been going to one for the past three years; Kawaii Kon. Sadly, I don't have friends who cosplay, but they go with me. Then again, I don't cosplay either, so... it's a moot point. For me, I go everywhere, to the Dealer's Room and the Artist Alley and the panels. The panels do get boring with no participation, though. I think within the past four years, I've been to every room except the library; I need to see that this year. I haven't been able to participate in the Artist's Alley because I have very little artistic talent (and it's really hard to make the things they do.) And the only convention I'm going to, again, is Kawaii Kon. (Maybe one day I'll become rich enough to go to more conventions.)

I would also like to cosplay one year. I mean, I know how to sew (not well, but good enough), so I wouldn't be spending hundreds of dollars on a costume for one use only. But I don't really have the time or patience to actually sit down and sew the costume.
