The weekend just gone was a convention weekend once again, meaning a few days away in a hotel room with a friend and a couple of cosplay outfits in tow. Although this particular event wasn’t a million miles away from home, we still opted to arrive on Friday afternoon to check in at the hotel and chill out, while also giving us a place to change for the event the following day.
While my friend had plans to head into town and do some early Christmas shopping once we arrived and checked in, I’d already made other plans and so made my excuses to stick around in our room while she headed out. The plan in question involved an amateur photographer who comes to quite a lot of events to photograph the cosplayers – we’d been talking for a while and had been to the same events a number of times but had never had an opportunity to meet save for one quick snatched photo on a convention floor, but that was all set to change this time around.
