Hi. Maleanon here. I have a girlfriend and i've treid very many times to make smallchat with females because they have had very well made costumes from a fandom I like. They instantly assume i'm trying to hit on them half the time even though I'm making no such advances, I mostly just want to talk about my hobbies and the fact that they have an interest in it too.

Despite having a girlfriend, because I am not an 8/10 chad with millions of dollars, I've actually gotten a hand held up to me indicating that they don't want to talk when this person was not otherwise preoccupied. I've also had girls laugh in my face.

It is as bad as they say.

>"Hall Cosplay" contests are for people who want to be judged on their craftsmanship, but aren't interested in doing the on-stage contest. Go to the cosplay judging room during the "Hall Cosplay Judging Hours". You'll wait in line, present your costume to the judges (reference photos are a plus) and they'll ask you some questions/flip your seams etc. Winner get posted later on Friday, and the winners get to go up on stage and get their award during the cosplay show if they like. The A-kon site has more info regarding the rules.

The AnimeMatsuri meetup was a total trainwreck. Gender segregated, some girl flipping out due to PTSD or something, some dude getting bitten by some other dude's GF because of unwanted touching

2/10 overall, those 2 points being that you will get drunk.
