laurab1 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I travel and attend on my own but will have lots of friends to see :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicAvatar Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm travelling alone. I often hang out with a friend during those rare quiet moments, but she's only doing Friday this year; however, I'm sure I'll be bumping into the usual familiar faces.

rosie727 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I always go on my own but always meet friends I have made over the years. There are always queues so its easy enough to chat to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessDrusilla Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I always go by myself, so I can meet friends when it fits with our schedules, but there's no pressure to spend the whole time together and miss out on stuff we don't all want to do - it's reasonable to be a bit selfish at cons, I think!

GodAtum Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I always go to these cons on my own. I'm quite introverted so just keep myself to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigizzle Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 This will be the second year I'll be going alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nokkibind Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Any advice for someone who's not been to a big convention before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted July 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 10, 2014 Be prepared! :) read up on all the info and pretty much know what you're doing before you get there. Make sure you drink lots. Other than that, don't panic and ask crew if you get stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman71 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Going solo isn't all that bad as you can do exactly what you want and not worry about others. Saying that, I always bump into a certain Camel at these events who is always trotting around the photo shoots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellyman Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I be alone at the weekend, it be my 8th year at this con I'm a old pro at conventions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davex1990 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) I might be going alone at first since my party are coming later on the Sunday. Not bothered too much, but I do worry it'll look awkward in the early queue on my own (admittedly have anxiety issues like this) Edited July 10, 2014 by Davex1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I've always ending up having some great conversations in queue lines at the events and many of those people have now become my friends and I will see them at events over the year as we are all spread far and wide around the world. I certainly don't think I'd want to be there with someone that didn't like this sort of event or someone where we were looking to meet different guests and that became a problem. Whilst I originally started going to these type of events back in 1998 on my own, I now also have two sons that accompany me as well to most of them and they actually got me back into watching Doctor Who ! I also know a lot more about Power Rangers than I ever did before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVenomUK Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm another one going on their own. Unfortunately my mates are either: a) skint not interested or c) can't make it. No way I was going to miss out on Stan Lee's last European appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starbuck17 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I am going alone too. I prefer to do my own thing and have always been a bit of a lone ranger to be perfectly honest so alone doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_g Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Im going it alone too. Usually I'm there with other people but this time it's by myself. I'm good either way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
