/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>host mini-meets a couple times a year
>max of 6 people per table
>do everything I can to prepare in advance-get rsvps, call and make tea reservations, always keep information updated, check in with people 2 days before event to ensure my reservation number is correct
>always get last-minute dropouts anyway, usually due to BS or reasons they would have known about in advance and didn't bother to tell me
>actual meet comes around and people still show up 30+ minutes late
Fucking christ it is so embarrassing to have people dropping out last minute or showing up so tardy to a formal event. And these are all grown adults (20+) with their own forms of transportation that just can't be bothered to do anything properly. Having to apologize over and over to the hostesses of the tea house is so painful but these are some of the only times I get to even wear lolita and have tea and all that.
>get new, responsible loli friends
We all know that's easier said than done. Especially since I work weekends so I don't go to comm meets.
