Are there many people age 18 or older at kumoricon?
« on: January 02, 2010, 05:58:06 am »
I was going to go last year, but things didn't quite work out. But I'll be 25 at this years con and, don't want to be too sore a thumb sticking out. I was just wondering if there were very many non minors/adults there...

There are people of alllllll ages there. That's why we even have some adult panels and a curfew for the minors XD
And if this is actually about cosplay, I'm sure EVERYONE will look past how old you are!

I love going to Kumoricon because there are a lot of adult attendees. There are a lot of panels and other events to attend that you don't get at other cons that adults can enjoy. You should go! It'd be great fun! ^^

Thanks for the input, I'm glad I won't feel too ridiculous dressed up then, though I imagine I'll still end up blushing somewhere in the corner.

Lol! Dah, come on. If you're a cosplayer then you have no shame!  I couldn't tell you how many times my Sailor Scout skirt got whrilled around in the breeze last year. Yep, there's gotta be some cheek pictures somewhere  :o LOL
I and my friend are doing Inuyasha cosplays this year. Mid 20's and we're cosplaying from that anime... ahh, I love us!

:) Hmmm...sometimes I forget how old I am. haha. Well, I'm 23, and I go with my bro who's in his late 20's.  We first attended K-con in '06 with no cosplay. The following year we did cosplay and now it is an addiction. LOL. It's only once a year, but we're going to Sakura-con too in April.

Don't worry about age! It's just a number. Go enjoy the con! ^_^
And so it begins...

I cosplayed as Greed (FMA) at my first con (kcon 2005)! :P

I'm 24 and I still cosplay. Heck I know a bunch of people who are older and into costuming, though most of them are just Star Wars costumers

haha, it's really not that big a deal, drinking is just a great way to gain weight with all the calories haha.

I'll be 22 next kumoricon :P I think it is a lot of fun. At mew con it was a blast having people who could legally drink. Not to mention they had free booze if you were 21+ XD

I was 27 at last years. And I'm 28 now. I seen so many of all sorts of ages there.  I think 18 plus is always more then 17 and less. Normally easier to get to a con when 18 plus.

I enjoyed the free drink while I could at the BBN Late Show. But my ride had to go before I could finish the last half hour. Oh well it was fun.

Looking around here now, I don't feel as old as I used to. At the cons and meetups there's no link on the people to just click on and find out their name, age, and profile. It all has to be done by word of mouth, and courage of heart. I'd say that after my experiences at MEW all the way up to the final night, I've been reborn into a new man. Seems like at every con there's so many mixed emotions that everyone feels, and at the end they only emerge satisfied and fired up. Oblivious to doubt, blind to failure, and deaf to regret.
