UM Students Prepare for Local Convention

Story by Hannah Rish



Halloween is still months away, but several UM students are using their creativity to make some very impressive costumes for an upcoming convention for anime, or Japanese animation. This month marks the seventh annual Kami-Con, where students and other people from all walks of life, will get together to make friends, see special guests and simply have a good time, all while dressed as their favorite characters.

Students have been preparing for this event for months, making and styling their own costumes, props and hairpieces. One such hairpiece, made by student Farrah Harper, took her over three to five hours in three afternoons to make.


The con will also feature several guests, including famous anime voice actors, musicians, cosplay veterans and Internet celebrities Team Four Star and The Nostalgia Critic.

While the guests can be really exciting, what con goers enjoy the most is reconnecting with friends. Harper says, "One thing I love most about Kami-Con is that it's a really central convention and you can have convention friends from different states or all over the state really. So getting to see everybody is probably the most exciting thing."


So what kind of advice should be given to new con goers? Student Holly Gothart warns "Organization is key because you will lose everything." Harper also highly recommends going, "It's a small enough convention that you don't have to worry about the hassle of big conventions and it's thirty minutes away...what more could you ask for?"



Kami-Con will be held from February 27th to March 1st at the BJCC. For more information and to register, visit http://kamicon.net/
