It’s been a boring and frustrating start to the year, but at last this weekend brought about the year’s first Comic Con for me, meaning a trip across the country, a Friday night staying at a friend’s house who happened to live pretty close to the convention, and then an early start on Saturday morning to get changed into cosplay and jump onto a local train for the event.
My outfit of choice for the day was my second time dressing as Rem from Re:Zero (http://imgur.com/qWXyUTf), kitting myself out in a maid’s outfit, with a short skirt and white thigh-high socks. As it was just a one day event I wasn’t holding out much hope of any encounters but was at least determined to try and see what, if anything, cropped up. So, once I arrived and the event started I not only spent some time swiping matches on Tinder but also posted in a couple of other places to see whether anyone in the area was at or near the event.
