Emerald City Comic Con - too fucking crowded but always a fun con to attend

Sakura con - should-give-a-fuck-con-but-dont

PAX - also fucking crowded but also the most entertaining con of the year

GeekGirlCon - good and chill - small

Aki-con - underagedrinking.jpeg

overall a good con year - no complaints as far as venue/con goes I just have come to realize I hate people

Emerald City Comic Con - DGAF

Sakura con - Sorta fun, nice to be in the lolita fashion show. Not all that great since SC dropped the ball on getting a lolita guest so not much to do that was relevant to my interest and poor shopping.

PAX - Got bored very fast. Standing in line to play games you can't even save hardly seems worth it. Swag has also gone down greatly in the past few years.

GeekGirlCon - DGAF

Aki-con - DGAF

Overall, happy I went to two cons elsewhere in the country.

OKAY so a few years ago my friend and I would go to local meetups.

I remember the very first one I went to there was this girl in a wig there - she seemed nice enough from afar but the second you got 15 feet from her you head her loud and raspy voice as she yelled some stupid meme at her friends that stood a foot away.
She used to hang with this one group that was pretty chill - they were fun and nice to everyone but you could tell they tolerated her because a. her energy and b. they felt sorry for her

BUT ANYWAYS as I went to more and more events and made more friends, I started to hear stories about this girl. Nothing too serious just that she made up a lot of stuff and thought she was a much better cosplayer than she really was.
Eventually we became facebook friends and thats when the signs started to really show.
Stories about how her sister "totally destroyed her aqua birth by sleep armor that she spent over 100 hours on by leaving it out in the rain"
or "my parents got a restraining order against my cousin who is the only cousin who is nice to me"
I remember she threw a full on fake fit over that one at an event during one summer. All her friends just stood their confused and tried to comfort her while she whaled onto her phone.

Many incidents like this and everyone was just eating her shit up.

more to come I'll continue when I get onto a computer

okay so to continue my story

after awhile her lies started getting more and more dramatic - I witnessed many myself first hand and many more from friends/acquaintances in the community.

Her original group slowly began to ditch her and I think to react to this she started really telling the big lies to get attention. A few specific stories stick out to me in my memory..

The first one I witnessed first hand and still can't believe that she has "friends" after making up this bullshit.
So one day she posts this long ass post on facebook about having cancer and how shes really scared and going into chemo soon and literally EVERYONE fell at her feet in sympathy
Then for about 6 months she milks the storty for all its worth - lying about chemo and surgeries and about how its spreading and how scared she is.
The kicker is that she said the cancer type was Mesothelioma which developes over YEARS of asbestos exposure. She made no mention of moving so there was no way she got it from her home.
The best part was through all of this she went to EVERY SINGLE EVENT and was as lively and loud as ever - the only thing that changed was she got off by all of a sudden getting serious and saying things like "my surgery is next week this might be my last cosplay event ever"

will continue soon - I need a rant break

Emerald City Comic Con - crowded, but always fun.

Sakura con - awesome for the most part. Was pissed that no lolita brands had booths. (H. Naoto was there, but the items offered were shoddy quality for the high price and none of the stuff offer was loli-able)

PAX - Crowded and loud. Aside trying the Oculus Rift (if you were lucky enough to be there for the 15-minute intervals when they opened a line up), the gaming area was a bit boring. Great variety of panels offered. Couldn't make Monday due to exhaustion. Learned of the dickwolves comments after the fact, and cringed. Now hesitant to go back until they hire a PR team to cure the foot-in-mouth disease.

GeekGirlCon - small and short, a breath of fresh air. Also a lot of panels dedicated to queer geekdom; several of my rainbow friends LOVED that aspect.

Aki-con - saw photos of buckets from the previous year, nope-d right out of it.

No, it's good quality, but it's suppose to look like shit.

You were a fool for using the Oculus Rift in the main hall. There's was one in the Indie area that only only had like a 15 minute line. You got to be a tree, but you also got to be a griffon.

Every Sakuracon I've been to, there's a /cgl/ meet up and I hover around the area it is, recognize a couple tripfags, think about talking to you guys, assume you'll hate me, get scared and leave.

I wonder if this year will be different. Probably not.

Everyone just seems to know each other so well. :( I don't know if I can just jump in and be like, "HEY YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ME OR MET ME I NEVER SELFPOST MY COSPLAYS OR COORDS BECAUSE THEY ARE BAD HELLO"

Emerald City Comic Con - pretty fun

Sakura con - Every year I keep finding more things to do! panels were great, rave is fucking awesome, retro gaming room! The only thing is finding a hotel thats less than $100 a night.

PAX - too crowded, wait lines and lame games, skipped this year and went to Kumoricon instead.

GeekGirlCon - DGAF

Aki-con - DGAF

Kumoricon - really fun, small and intimate, stupid panels but less douchey frat/sorority people and a beautiful park where everyone hangs out at. Since its held Labor Day weekend, it's like the perfect weather outside and has DELICIOUS CHEAP FOOD CARTS!
