I was feeling nostalgic for the local anime conventions of old. Ended up on this site with photos of Sugoicon from the early 2000s:

These are from 2001-2002. Sugoicon was the first convention I ever attended, starting with its conception in 2000. I was a regular until 2006, when I discovered dating and lost track of the anime scene. Lame.

I still have this very clear memory of wandering the dealers room while listening to the Brave Fencer Musashi soundtrack on my portable CD player. I don't know why this sticks out to me of all things, but I have a lot of affection for it.

That's my friend Tony dressed as Irvine in the last photo. I don't believe I ever took photos myself, which I'm kinda sad about.

Sugoicon was originally held at the Holiday Inn Cincinnati Airport location. Here's a comparison of the lobby in 2001 vs now:

#throwbackthursday I was cleaning out a box of old paperwork yesterday and found a cache of 2004 anime con stuff! Who else remembers the days when nearly all con badges were flimsy pinbacks? #tbt #animeconvention @animecentralofficial @ohayocon_official #sugoicon

Sugoicon is the first week end in September this year instead of November. :(

I suppose this is good because I’m moving in November, but that means I’m late at applying for an artist alley table and that I have only two months to get more art ready.

September 5-7 @ the Sharonville Convention Center!

Colossalcon is now a definite possibility! I will also for sure be at Matsuricon and Sugoicon and most likely FandomFest as well. Is it June yet?! Is anybody on here going?

So last night I had a dream that I went to Sugoicon and I was panicking because I was $5 short of the fee to get in and Dante Basco was the one taking payments and making name tags and such and after I found the money, I went into a hall and found him being a fabulous gay man and I woke up very confused.
