animate! philadelphia is in october 2nd - 4th. thy geekdom con is in may 22nd - 24th. i think friday will still be the most affordable, so it's the first day only. animate philly 2025 was my first comiccon and it was amazing, so i hope next year will be special too. there's also scranton anime-fest.

Update: I'm hoping to go to Animate! Philly '26 and Derpycon '26.

here's to hoping:

• to see the voice actors i haven’t gotten signatures from yet
• that the ones who attended the first philly con will reappear
• to see the ones i suggested
• attend more panels for longer moments
• maybe cosplay? wear a shirt i bought (alastor or verosika)
• make collages of characters they've voiced to get signed
• maybe get merch signed
• even ship art
