What is Sogencon?
Sogencon is an anime convention, hosted in Sioux Falls, SD. We have attended this convention every year since its origination in 2005.
This convention has been fun to attend as a way to get away from the "normality" of life and just have fun. At conventions, often times the people attending dress up in costumes to "cosplay" as their favorite characters. Cosplay means that you dress (and sometimes act) as a particular character. The word is a crossover between costume and play.
During the first year, I didn't dress up. I had never attended a convention before and was excited to go find out about them. I had a good time, so I returned the following year, dressed up as Fay, from Tsubasa Chronicles. The next year I took my wife and we both dressed up as a pair - Syaoran and Sakura from the same series. It was also her birthday then, so it made a nice present.

Pictures!
Right now, I need to get these reorganized from the years I've gone. I'm finding I'm taking less pictures since I'm dressed up then in the first year when I wasn't. Oh well. If I find good pictures others have taken, I'll add them as well.
