Take three to a thread from last year that went well, let's try it out again. What keeps you coming back to cons? Even /cgl/, as small as it is, shows there's a billion possible combinations to explain: "Why?" Some answers, but definitely not all, would be
>Cosplaying
solo, group, admiring, meetups, photography
>What the event itself offers
Guests, shops / artist alley, rave, game room
>The social element
Parties (unofficial), hookups, meet new folks, mutual friends flying in from different areas
>Hanging out
People watch, the weird experiences only cons can provide, that one time in the year "the gang gets back together"
And of course any reasons I forgot to include are always encouraged. The floor is yours, gulls.

>Raves
Watching nerds cut loose is a delight, even if the music sucks
>Hookups
I wish, flirting is far more likely. Half these girls are underaged
>Shared interest crowd
Meeting people who I know share at least SOME overlap with me is always nice.
>Costumes
Halloween is my favorite holiday and there are precious few chances to dress up without looking like a tard beyond that.

Easy, I like travelling, dressing up, spending money on dumb crap. Conventions perfectly wrap that all up for me.

Seeing friends again that are too scattered around the country to meet up with on a regular basis. And cosplay photography usually, sometimes while cosplaying myself. Room parties and hookups are just an added bonus that comes with the above two things. If a con has good guests from overseas, that's a good bonus too.

Wondering myself
I'm kinda in the "why I'm still doing this shit, I'm getting too old for it"- face
Well, maybe I get the cosplays done that I have planned next year
But propably, I won't

>>10939468

But I kinda gave up already

>>10939505
Can confirm
