How to deal with a weird first con
Hi all, im kind of exhausted right now, please excuse any mistakes. So I went to my first ever convention, anime or otherwise, today (it was so local saying what it was would definitely dox me, i don't think anybody travels to go to it) and I was disappointed with many things, the biggest being that the 2 VAs I was super psyched to see had canceled a week ago, and the only place they decided to say anything was one facebook post and then they continued advertising their appearances on their website and everywhere else. This con was 40 dollars for a one day ticket, and the literal only thing to do was buy stuff, every guest except for two had pulled out unadvertised, there were 3 scheduled activities per day (2 of them being photo ops and one of them being, surprise surprise, canceled) and there were maybe 30 people there total.
Where my issue really arises is that everybody was really nice, i got compliments on a shirt i had never heard anybody talk about before, one of my coworkers was there, and as somebody with severe social anxiety it was probably the easiest it had ever been to talk to strangers for me. So I don't want to just remember the bad parts, but it's hard to overlook such a letdown. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
