Whew, this is quite a late post.
But better late than never!
Anime Nebraskon 2015 took place on November 6-8, 2015 Ramada Plaza Omaha Hotel and Convention Center in Omaha, NE. As it was my first semester in Omaha since starting that fall at Creighton University, I was excited to see what Midwestern conventions were like!
Day 1
After finishing up class and work, I met together with boyfriendo Vance and friend Kai to share an uber. The convention center was only ~10 minutes away, so that was definitely very convenient. I also cosplayed Asuka from Eva 3.0. Kai is in this picture as well, Hi Kai.

The first panel that interested us was the "Dating Auction". Which sounded a little alarming to us! It turned out to be a fundraising event. The MC's would choose a volunteer from the audience to stand on stage while other audience members would bid dollars for a "date" after the event! All funds would go to an ADHD awareness philanthropy.
Although it sounds boring (and creepy), people-watching-and-observing is one of my favorite things to do! And the dating auction was prime for people-watching-and-observing. So many interesting people and interactions @.@ !
...Blair the Witch was bought by John Cena. I've always liked Blair's character design. Also fun fact, the MC on the left was wearing the same shirt at the Dating Auction in Nebkon 2016. Maybe he'll wear in 2017 as well (?)
These two girls with fishy service dog registrations were bought for an amount I can no longer remember.
Jesus's (What is the plural for Jesus lol) are always a convention staple, and Nebkon did not hold back! There were two!(!!!!)
And probably the most exciting of the bunch was the ambigious-bald-nearly-naked-man, Goku, and Nudist Beach Aikuro from Kill La Kill!
We stayed for most of the two hours the event ran for, but left when it died down and others were leaving as well.
The next event of interest was Chii Sakurabi's concert! I was pretty hype as I love idols and concerts in general.
While in line, these two dudes started up a conversation with us. One was wearing a gorilla mask and the other was low-key. I don't remember his name but he added me on Facebook a week after the convention. Pretty friendly bunch, but we ended up running into them a lot at this small convention which was a little awkward lol.
On to the concert!
Chii had super high energy and cute clothes! I think everything was from bodyline (lol). Also another fun fact: Our buddy Goku is in the background.
And here I am in my first 18+ panel. It was a casual "let's talk about..." type of ordeal.
And that's all! Thank you for reading. Onward to Nebkon 2016.
