Hi all! My name is Vash (he/they) and I'm probably a bit young to be counted as an "older fan" - I was born in 2000 and my first anime/manga were Inuyasha and Fruits Basket (it was elementary school, it's hard to remember which came first). I'm currently working my way through the Gundam series in chronological order as best I can. I'm here because I'm considering pursuing a history PhD and as part of my application packet, I have to write a paper. The topic I've landed on is the history of anime conventions in Washington state. While I'm also just personally curious about people's experience in anime fandom before I was around (another reason I'm here), if anyone would be willing to talk about the history of anime conventions in the US/WA, please give me a shout!
