What anime conventions do you plan to attend in 2009 and what cosplays, if any, do you have lined up? Any one hosting a panel? Do you staff one?

My current line-up is as such-
Katsucon
Fanime
Otakon

I have a lot of prep for this upcoming convention year. I plan on having Sonic the Hedgehog Through the Years make a return appearance at Otakon 2009. I hope they will let us come back. I'm also going to help my friend staff the J-rock room for Fanime provided she gets the space for this year. I have 5 confirmed cosplays to work on this year, Jessie from Team Rocket, Franziska von Karma, Tails Doll, Sailor Pluto V2.0, and School Girl Chocolat. It's set to be an interesting year already and I'm sure I will be adding more conventions to my list.

I plan to attend the AnimagiC 2009 (same procedure as every year ;)), though I haven't decided on a costume yet. I guess it's going to something individual. Last time I did a geisha... the years before were Princess Ai from Princess Ai, Eclaire from Kiddy Grade and an elf... I'd really like to do something that looks "cold and icy" with a lot of light blue and white and glitter... I'll see what I can do...

Anime Detour and NoBrandCon for me for sure. Sogencon as a possible third, and Anime Central as a hopeful, but most probably not.

@Malificus: are you going to wear a costume?

I'm thinking about visiting Connichi, too... Never been there yet...

If I have the time, yeah. Dunno what I'll be though

My status on my costumes as of now. poor. Very poor. I really need to work on them.

Animazement. Go every year and this year it moves to the much much bigger convention center. Can't wait. Memorial Day weekend.

My girlfriend and I are attending Sac-Con (comics) and SacAnime at the very least. If we get our finances in order, we're also gonna go to the San Diego Comic Con. That'd be sweet. Anyway.

SuiGeneris will be joining me at Katsucon. This pleases me.
