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>Cosplayingsolo, group, admiring, meetups, photography>What the event itself offersGuests, shops / artist alley, rave, game room>The social elementParties (unofficial), hookups, meet new folks, mutual friends flying in from different areas>Hanging outPeople 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.
>>10939283>RavesWatching nerds cut loose is a delight, even if the music sucks>HookupsI wish, flirting is far more likely. Half these girls are underaged>Shared interest crowdMeeting people who I know share at least SOME overlap with me is always nice. >CostumesHalloween is my favorite holiday and there are precious few chances to dress up without looking like a tard beyond that.
>>10939283getting a cosplay gf
the only place i can play lovelive still
>>10939283Easy, I like travelling, dressing up, spending money on dumb crap. Conventions perfectly wrap that all up for me.
>>10939468not gonna happen, they are either there to shill there instagram, have a boyfriend, are underage, or will be orbiting someone way hotter than you from their gay ass friend group.
>>10939505Speak for yourself, nerd
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 myselfI'm kinda in the "why I'm still doing this shit, I'm getting too old for it"- faceWell, maybe I get the cosplays done that I have planned next yearBut propably, I won't>>10939468SameBut I kinda gave up already>>10939505Can confirm
