hello!

hi everybody! This is my first con EVER. I'm super excited to go! I'm going with 4 friends and we are doing a group Cosplay as sword art online characters including asuna(me!),kirito,silica,yui and lisbeth. I was wondering if anybody could give me some tips on what panels and events that are must-see. Can't wait to finally be a part of the Cosplay and convention community! ~ q1512 age 13

Hi! Congrats on first con! It's a fun experience and really tempting to just go to a bunch of panel but i'd say for your first con pick about 3-6 panels that you really wanna go to and leave plenty of time for times like artist alley, photoshoot, and just plain walking around and meeting people. I actually started going to cons when i was 13 and i'm going to be 15 in a couple days and this con will be my 3rd con. i went to it last year and it was awesome. leaving time for my cousin and i to just walk around was awesome! so i really recommend. as for panel, i don't know, let's start with what you are interested in. like this con has a ton of panels for everybody. and when the photoshoot schedule comes out try to find sword art and go to that one. hmm idk what else i can give but if you have questions just ask. i hope you have a wonderful time and have fun with your group! p.s. my friend likes that show alot so i'll try to take a pic of you guys to show him. hehehe p.s.s i'll be cosplaying as love ward kagamine rin friday and female captain america on saturday.
