Before the pandemic, I was going to go to my first convention in cosplay. I know they are being held again but I'm hesitant to go for obvious reasons. I'm fully vaccinated but going to a crowded event just seems irresponsible.

I was dragged to a local one once and I kept getting secondhand embarrassment.

People can be loud and obnoxious at these events but it's all in good fun.

Avoid AX in Los Angeles. Place became a ComicCon 2.0 with the stupidly long lines for any event.

Will do, if I'm ever in that area.

It smelled okay, the cons I've went to.

Not yet. Definitely going to a gaming convention in January though. They will be requiring proof of vaccination and masks on at all times. Pretty sure that will dwindle the total attendance count just by that and then add in the people hesitant to come anyway. The venue is huge so i dont suspect itll be that much of a problem. Whatever you feel comfortable with though is cool man. I will have been conless for 2 years when i usually do 2 a year.

I'd figured cons would have a mask policy but checking for vaccine cards at the door would make me feel 10x safer.

It can be a good time.

Who dat? I was going to go as a masked character. I had about three characters I was considering.

I'm not familiar with them, seem to be YouTubers from a quick search.

I don't see how it would be irresponsible. Didn't you get the vaccine to not worry about the virus?

I've been to ACen once, good time.

I did and it has helped with my anxiety. I go out to stores almost daily for this and that, but I feel like an event would be different. But if it's like MegaTech said and the crowd isn't as big as it usually is, that would definitely ease my concerns a bit.

Not this year (canceled because the location was being used to give vaccine shots)
But if you read my Signature...

I went to A-Kon 3 or 4 times. The least fun year was the year I actually tried to do stuff related to the con and not so much on partying.

A-Kon was cool. I went to 25 and 26.

Would love to go back and party up there again.

I would not go to any conventions until mid to late 2022 with how things are. You know someone there is going to be a super spreader.

Yeah, it is supposed to be a fun weekend, being stressed and worried about the schedule takes the fun out of it.

Hmm... I've never noticed any stank at the cons I've been to. Or maybe I'm just apart of the stank so I don't notice it.

There aren't really any big anime conventions in NYC and NY Comic Con is a nightmare.

Which cons are you planning on hitting up TC?

Otakon, but really anything on the east coast is a consideration.

25 was my first one and my favorite. Everyone I went with had been going for years though and said it was weak compared to some others. Kinda makes me sad about what I missed out on. Still had a blast though.

I'll definitely go to the next post-pandemic one. If that ever happens, I mean.
