/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Summers starting just as it’s over and it’s too hot.

Overseas cons can save us, but for those of us scared of foreigners and planes here is a list of UK shiz.

I’m sure there will be Kitas, Ames, minami etc with dates somewhere as well as all the usual Expo MCM comic LFCC things and random local version.

Let’s all sit back and have some existential dread over a winter of blackouts, food / rent we can’t afford and prospects of everyone being made redundant or fired as the economy collapses from a series of conspiracy related reasons.

Drama optional.

So here we are, a new thread. We’ve had a few cons. They might have scratched the itch, but nothing is quite like it was. There are a whole host of summer cons right around the corner but no one seems to care!

Is there discord drama? Probably, you just don’t know. It’s either dead, a secret channel or a completely different server.

Here are some up and comers, literally stolen off a different website so excuse me if the dates are wrong or if it exclusively favours some no name cons you’ve never heard of.

The formatting will probably mess up, but I’m a filthy phone poster and I’ve had this written in notes ready to copy paste post as soon as the old thread dies but it keeps churning along. Let’s help it make page 10 and leave, it can take all the drama posting with it. Step into the light and be reborn for hope and joy (experience may vary) are right around the corner.

Covid is so over. So let’s get back to it.

Arguments over discord fall out optional. I’m sure the formatting of this will be murdered.

>The “new normal” is upon us. >Summers basically ruined
>is there anything left to look forward to

Guess next year has some cons. Naturally given the extra time everyone will have full body robot suits that transform or functioning wings and everyone will be shredded since we’ve obviously been eating well and exercising at home during lockdown.

London MCM Cancelled Birmingham MCM cancelled
Manchester MCM cancelled
Glasgow MCM cancelled
TOKO cancelled
Sunnycon postponed
Ame Postponed
Alcon cancelled (and the gaming events)
Everyone’s getting cancelled!

Save us Hibanacon. Spare us from this mockery of con season.

Hope you guys are all having a splendid year getting fater/weaker and becoming unemployed and generally unmotivated. Woooo what a rush! I’m loving it.

How do you do fellow lockdown chums.

>Most cons likely cancelled
>can’t buy sipp
>stuck in a house with nothing to look forward to.
