Have you ever been to a convention?

I met my partner at a certain anime convention in Baltimore and we couldn't be happier together. I came there with no idea of what to expect but I experienced so much more than I ever could have imagined while hanging out with and meeting some very fun and amazing people. We dressed up and roamed around all day taking photos and collecting souvenirs and partied all night, it was great. I only wish we could afford to attend them more often so we could meet up with all of our buddies again.
