Whether or not you consider the Con Ja Nai a convention, it's still a chance to dress up and hang out with a bunch of anime nuts.  I started going to these events a few years ago with CJN VII, and have been going ever since.  14 hours of movies, a nice little costume contest, and, best of all, it's FREE!  Unfortunetly, I did not get any photos the first time I went, since I forgot my camera, but there are pictures every year after that.  The CJN's are sponsered by the University of Michigan's anime group, Animania.  Their website is in my link section.  Enjoy the photos!
