Anime EXPO/Conventions?
1.) So Im 14 and never went to one and wanna know how old do you have to be to go without a parent and just friends my age? Because I went on AnimeEX website and all it said kids under 12 need a guardian or parent and nothing talking about teenagers?
2.) How much money do I need to bring?
3.) What do I have to do to get in 1 to like register?
4.) What do I need to bring?
5.) Do I gotta wear my cosplay all the way to the expo/convention? Is there a changing room to change there and not drag my costume so people might think Im weird and stuff....
6.) Where am I supposed to put my cameras and etc...do they got a locker or something like I seen in videos on youtube where people are taking other people cosplays and they dont have a bag or anything.
7.) Anymore information do I need to know before going? Like do I have to know alot of anime before going? (i dont want people asking me so what animes do u watch? and ill be like well only bleach...even though i do watch more the only anime series i rlly watch was naruto and bleach.)
8.) how long does it last? when does it start? I was planning to leave 5pm before my parents get home and notices. Is that to early?
9.) since its my first time should i get atleast 3 friends to join up and come?
and 10..
Will I meet new friends should i bring a scrap book if they ask for my number or that will never happen?
Thanks I think I have more questions but thats all i have for now.
Answer: 1) You are correct. Anyone under 12 needs a guardian. ThirTEEN year olds and everyone older are TEENagers. That means you are old enough to act like a mature young adult and take care of yourself.
2) Depends. You will need money to:
buy the badge (which you will register online)
food (unless you pack lunch and dinner)
buy merchandise (if you see something you want in artist's alley for the dealer's room)
hotel (if you planning on staying at one. book early.)
parking (if one of your older friend's drives you guys there)
concerts (same location but separate venues. you will need to buy tickets online for those)
3) You will register online. You will need a credit card to make the payment. Since AX just finished for 2011, registration for 2012 won't be open until at least early January.
http://www.anime-expo.org/registration/
Pre-registering is the cheapest option. You can buy a ticket at the door but it will be about $25-30 more expensive (at Dragoncon the at the door prices are $100 more expensive...so...watch it.).
4) Cosplay if you plan on wearing it.
Bottled water and snacks.
Cell phone.
CAMERA!! for awesome cosplay pictures and documenting the experience for memories.
Sharpie. For autographs for guests, writing your name on the badge, and getting people's contact info that you made friends with at the con.
5) Yes and no. You can wear it all the way to the con. There is no changing room (unlike Japan where it's illegal to wear cosplay in public and there are designated changing areas for cons there). You will change in your hotel room. You will see cosplay on the street since people are walking from hotels nearby and parking lots. You can change in the car as well or one of the many bathrooms in the Expo.
6) Carry a small bag or shoulder bag. Most people put the bag to the side when asked for pictures. Other people sew in hidden pockets in the cosplay to hid their wallet, cameras, touch-up makeup, cell phone, etc. There are no lockers.
7) Of course you don't need to know a lot of anime. Some people just come for video games or concerts. Just be kind and courteous. You'll see a lot of kids your age lost their sh*t and act like crazies at cons. Socially dysfunctional weeaboos that everybody hates but they're so into their own worlds they don't see themselves. Yep, these kids dry hump in public and scream at the top of their lungs. It's like they think a con means they can lose are moral responsibility. *facepalm
8) It lasts 4 days. Normally it starts on a Friday and goes to Monday. Leaving at 5pm means you'll miss out on the best things. Usually the best stuff is at night (albeit you won't be able to go to the 18+ panels) like the masquerade and concerts (which start at 7 and 9 pm respectively most years). AX is a very wholesome, famous con where industry heads even attend. Directors to movies and shows go here to. I'm sure if you ask your parents if they would allow you to attend next year and show them how you saved up money and what not they'd be okay with it. They have medical staff on site and security for the attendant's safety. Also, AX is non-profit and profits that they do make go to SPJA charity. You attending means you're giving to charity. What's not to love?
9) I recommend it! AX is *the* largest con in the country. 128,000 people attended this year and it grows every year (that 23,000 more people than last year!). Having friends can help you explore parts you would feeling going alone. Buddy system is great and they can watch your stuff if you need to go to the bathroom. Plus the stories you guys would share together once everything is over is priceless!
10) Yes you will meet new friends as long as you apply yourself. If you find cool people and start talking but then part ways, shake hands and ask for their facebook (I feel like phone numbers might be too intrusive) and give them yours. Unless you plan on meeting up later for an event then phone numbers are a-okay. Cosplayers have "cosplay business cards" which show their pictured cosplay on both sides and their handle names to major sites they visit/email address. But this is for seasoned cosplayers. Other people sharpie their name/nickname on the back of their badge and have the newfound friend photograph you holding it up. Then they have a face to put towards a name when they go home.

THE WAY WE LIVE NOW; The Edge of the Mystery
Weeks before the election of 1960, Norman Mailer, already an accomplished novelist, sat down to write his first major work of political journalism, an essay for Esquire in which he argued that only John F.

about Temporary color hair spray?
Im looking to dye my hair for a couple days (1 to 3 (thats when the event is) from my darkish brown to black what would be a good brand? does it do anything permanent to hair like I have natural light brown highlights, will those go away? and how much does it take to wash it out, because Im putting hair pieces in that could scrap it out (its like a comb), or how many times do I have to wash my hair before it comes out?
If you must know what Im doing, is a byakuya kuchiki cosplay for a anime convention ... dont judge me, and do not post answers that criticize me. I just want informative answers
Thank You
also I have long hair (around mid shoulder blade length) how many cans should I get (Im gonna use it twice once for the actual thing, and once to try it out)
Answer: A brand that is good is called hot hair. It makes the hair look natural at the same time. It will wash out the first time you wash it, and when you roll around or any of that it wont rub anywhere.

How do I go about selling my rubber stamping crafts and items?
I been doing rubber stamping for almost 13 yrs. Before that, I had no clue what rubber stamping was or about. I was never good at coloring, drawing or no creativity of Imagination. Because, of my physically disable, I didnt think, that there are that many hobbies for just working with hands only. Then, my former friend who does rubber stamping and makes money from told me how I can money from it. Money did sound good. And I was getting tired of cross stitching that nobody even noticed my work. I was trying to find a hobbies that will keep me busy and people will notice my work that they would want to buy from me. At the same time, I was thinking, do I really want to start project that will cost me lots money to start, and will it be able to good enough to people want to order and buy. After my friends insisted, I decide to give it chance. With my friends help, Ive learned lot of things and went to rubber stamping/scrap bookkeeping conventions. It was so awesome to see all kinds greeting cards, techniques, and meet all kinds of people. In fact, my first year, I even had rubber stamping party at my place and was so surprise how many people showed up and bought so many things to help me earn credits to start my project. Up to 2 yrs. ago, I was doing so well, or selling my cards and having creativity and imaginations. Not to brag or anything, I was getting so many comments, how my cards looks so good and detailed with time taking, and no problems selling. Through out the years, I was even told that I should start my own business. I have come a long wa,y from the first card I made, which look like childes work and learned lot things, that I never knew that it was out there. Plus, made so many friends. And of course, I spent lot of money, but some how it did balanced it out. Ive also learned, to get the family to buy is night mare. Through out the years, I must made least over thousands of all kinds of cards and sold them. Now,13 years later, I wasnt getting anywhere or anyone to buy my cards, I was starting loosing my interest and creativity. Just no desire to make anymore cards. Now, for 6 months, I have not made anymore cards. After looking at my stuff and how much I created of financially. I must have spent least over $5000 through my 13 years and how it just sitting there creating the dust, when I can sell it and use that money to pay my bills and credit cards. I just dont know, how to go about it. Any advice or suggestions will appreciated.
Answer: The first post looks good but wanted you to know that besides ebay, etsy and Craigs list you can also check out Zibbet. I wish you success.
