It seems with this phone app (iphone and android), cons have to register to be listed? Their lists are very limited and can't search by state either. I don't see on the site how to register a convention. I assume you do it after making a log in. If anyone DLs this app for their iphone, make the suggestion for adding cons and search by city. Also, add the cons if it lets you. I found Otakon but that's it.

I'm American and it will be my first time going to a convention in Italy. I don't what to expect. Even with a bablefish translation, I'm at a loss to all that will be there. Will I see a lot of cosplay there in general? Will I be ok asking a cosplayer if I can take their picture in English or should I learn the phrase in Italian? Anything I should know? Thanks

Whose going?
Are you cosplaying?
If so, what as?
