Oh cool! I go to the one in Pittsburgh, 30 mins away from where I live, called Tekkoshocon. It takes place in April and it's getting bigger and better each year.
I'm really not sure if I could go in 2011 because my finals are around then/it's Crew's main season. I graduate 2013 and I could totally use that as my Graduation gift!
Plus, I'd need more than a year to make the costume since I'm filled with fail when using a needle and thread. >_< Also, you'd have to give me, like, complete baby steps. And no, actually, I don't think I have your e-mail! You can contact me at alonein_darkness(AT)hotmail(DOT)com.
