Comics Salon. For normal people it’s time when
one weekend in September is Bratislava
turned into city of freaks, as they would call them. But for the ones
attending, it’s a chance to come and have a fun with others of similar
interests.
I must say, that even though I was to go with
my friend, I kind feared that it would be catastrophe. I didn’t attend any
convention in the last few years, because the Slovakian conventions started to
feel kind of repetitive and I haven’t had anyone who could go with me to a con
outside of Slovakia.
But it was the opposite. We had a great time. Met
some friends and some new people and generally had fun. It’s true that we somehow
skipped all the lectures for one reason or other, but then again, that was not
so important.
This was the first time I was cosplaying too. I
wanted to do it for a long time now, but never had the chance. My childhood
friend is too embarrassed to do it with me, and I wasn’t about to promenade
around in a costume alone. But this time, I joined the world of cosplaying.
The first day, we arrived late. And even though
we, and especially me, do that a lot, this time it wasn’t our fault. We have to
wait for a courier to bring my mail, which should have arrived two days before
the convention, but never mind. I must say, that there was more cosplayers than
non-cosplayers. Or maybe it was only from my perspective, but a lot of people
had at least wig or accessories, and I saw a lot of lolita’s (and not only
girls)
