/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

What and/or when was the first convention you attended?

How was it? Did you cosplay? Do you still have photos of that time?
For me it was some “mall event” in the philippines back when i was 16 in 2008 which cost like $3 in philippine pesos equivalent to enter. I didn’t even know what Conventions were but it was held in a very wide function hall.


I did not cosplay, neither did like 98% of the people passingby. Cosplay culture is barely a thing you can only count people in costume in one hand. Also Bootleg merchandise EVERYWHERE
I’d like to think my first proper convention experience was Wondercon in 2014, sister dragged me and family along. I personally had fun and bought a space dandy print. Ive been attending one con a year after that
