I don't know if I will be able to make it.  But I would really like to go as it was the first Anime Convention that I had ever went to (which was a perfect stepping stone for me).  I would like to show my support for a college trying to start up a con.  If I do go I may even dress up in one of my two cosplays that I have done. ^_^
