Now that it’s summer I’ve got a fair few events that I’ll be heading to in cosplay, and this weekend was one them. I’m currently back at home now uni was finished, so what would previously have been a reasonably local event saw me jamming some cosplay into a case, jumping on a train and heading to a cheap hotel near the event for a few days.
Although I knew a fair number of people there to hang out with, none of my direct friends came along to share hotel costs so I was left to my own devices for the duration – of course, this in turn gave me plenty of time to seek out new adventures. The first day of the event was pretty dead however – as it was located somewhat out of the way most people were at work and there didn’t seem to be anyone from the event on Tinder, so it was a fruitless evening’s swiping. The second day brought a fair few matches, but nothing interesting – a lot of outright idiots, or conversations that just drifted away into nothingness.
