>This so much, anon. I'm almost 32 and have been in the scene since 1999. I miss COSP and the early days of coscom and that amazing sense of community that has disappeared. I still cosplay because I live for sewing, but I feel so old and out of touch. You are not alone, fellow veteran!

Oh thank goodness! I hardly ever run into people from those days. The scant few that I do see seem to have turned the hobby into some kinda super serious job so because I didn't go that route I'm not important enough to socialize with anymore.
I wonder if we know each other?

I was on COSP too. Boy do I miss that. I remember the only big drama we had was the Sailor Jamboree and Cosplay closet debacle. Back then since everything was so 'love of a show/character driven' everyone gave side eye to the two groups for even daring to be so unfriendly. It was so fun and games that it was foreign to everyone to actually be mean or do something purely for attention. Wow were we innocent.

I love creating things so much so I just enjoy that and willfully ignore everything else if I can. It's darn near impossible though with FB telling me to like everyone's cosplay page and kickstarters to fund people's trips to cons.

Hugs to you fellow vet.
