Since having topics in advance usually means bigger NiD.com meetups (*nods at Anime Detour*), I decided to start a thread. Anime Boston is a convention held in Boston, Masssachusetts, from Friday, April 22nd through Sunday, April 24th. The convention center is really lovely, and there were people from Asia, Autralia, Europe, Canada, you name it. We had a mini meet up (mainly by chance, lol) last year, and to have a bigger one would be great! :D

For more information, here's the official site: http://www.animebost.../location/index

UPDATE: Pre-Registration time! http://www.animebost...m/registration/ :) It's best to plan early; I was lucky to get things together less than two weeks before the con last year.

Discuss! :P

New York's anime con is in October.. http://www.newyorkco.../NYAF/Overview/

A con with a weapons policy, lol

Oddly I haven't been yet (done NYCC and Big Apple Con) but in any case I'd be able to do Sunday

I *MIGHT* be able to go to both of these. A friend of mine who lives in Westchester wants me to come down to NY Anime Fest. And the fact that Puffy AmiYumi is performing makes it that much more enticing.

Anime Boston looks like a fun place, though I've never been. I technically can make the drive there in one day, but I would be too exhausted to catch night-activities afterwards. But I have a friend who lives in MA who might put me up for a couple nights. And if we all meet up on Saturday, it should be rockin' awesome!

Very enticing...

When I went, I didn't go to any of the night activities, but still had a good time. :) The only official one are a formal dance and I think DiENE said something about a rave? Overall things closed up around 10pm last time, except for a few hentai pannels. A saturday meetup would be totally rockin' awesome. Fun story: we had to meetup spot, so we all managed to find each other purely by chance. Planning this time would be good.

=D I'm happy to see this topic coming up earlier, so we have a greater chance of gathering more NiGHTS fans. There's nothing I'd rather see than a big NiGHTS fan group meeting! =DD Sadly, I'm not sure if I can make it this year for financial reasons. =( But I'm going to try my hardest!

Anime Boston is awesome, people! Come join us! XD

And, Noctourne, you can feel free to post our pics. =)

Thanks, Eternal! Here's the whole crew:

I wish I had gotten more pictures of the convention center, but meetup photos are exciting enough, right? :D

My sister and I might be able to come if I don't have to go out of town for a seminar that weekend. So, here's hoping!

We're only a few months away, so I just wanted to ask again if anyone's planning on going, or thinking about it. The website has more information here: http://www.animeboston.com/

I wish I could ;_; I was just in Boston last weekend for another con, and my funds are going to be tapped due to Nerdapalooza/Otakon later this year. I will be there in spirit, creepily looking over you all. Super-creepily :unsure:

*hasn't been here in forever, I know*

Just thought I'd pop in and let you guys know that I'm coming again this year! =D ...Dunno when I'm going to have time on Saturday to meet up, though, since I suddenly have 3 1/2 cosplays and I want to make it to two photoshoots on the same day. @.@ But I'll *probably* be Reala for the rest of the day after 4:00.

The schedule is now up on the website, too, so go check it out! (though of course, some things are subject to change).

Yay! I can't wait to see you again; I was just thinking about how much fun last year was. :)

3 1/2 cosplays?! I'm impressed! I've only got one this year (though I quite like it), and I won't be able to do NiGHTS, because my poor cosplay only barely survived. If we happen to run into each other, I'll be dressed like this:

See you there! Hopefully we can arrange something by the time the con rolls around. :)

Guess who didn't know PAXEast existed until this year? Yes, I live under a rock. <__<

I'm all for more JoD riffing; in fact, I was just thinking about it the other day.
