Huh. Interesting read! Though, I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding it since I can't relate. Maybe I'm just easily entertained or have had the luck to go to really great conventions. It ended at 6? Was it a Sunday or the last day? I will admit that they usually have little going on. Or was it just a smaller con?
The reason I can't relate is because I can't imagine being bored at a con. There is always some panel to go to! Something interesting, or something new! Love me some panels. Last con I think I went to maybe six or seven panels. Then there is always the video rooms and the various gaming rooms. Finding something new to watch is great fun! And there are always the classics. And whether it is video games or board games, always something to play! At the very least you can watch others play, that is entertaining as well! Also, I can easily wonder around the dealers room for extended periods of time. There is always an occasional person to talk to, though I never do talk to people because that is HARD. Though sorry if that con you went to didn't have some of this stuff and I'm just talking hot air! As for the pictures, I agree, talking pictures WITH people is hard with no friends. However people at cons are nice and probably will not mind taking a picture! I've been asked to even! You can just snap a pic of some cool cosplayers! They know what they are getting into, so they usually don't mind getting their pictures taken! And if not, they'll just say so. No need to feel weird about it! WOO! Also, about eating overpriced food. When I go to cons, I just buy a box of cliff bars, and snack on them throughout the day until I can get some real food. Sorry for the wall of text!
