i’ll be going with a group of friends to MCM in october but will be splitting up after we get there so it’ll be my first time walking around the convention by myself.
if anyone else has done it, how has it been? i’m kind of nervous but me and my friends all agreed to always be a text away if anyone needs anything.
this is not a post asking for people to go with/friend groups to join btw!
Please forgive the foolish question but I am new to this kind of thing. I’m trying to learn all I can about cons before October!
I’m looking to go to London comic con this year, I’m 23 and most of my life I thought comic con was an ‘American event’ but I’m glad to know that it’s in London, I’m planning to go as my favourite X-Man Cyclops. Any good tips to find people to meet.
Annoyingly most of my friends at home are not into comic-con or too busy
So I've been going to MCM in London pretty much every year since I turned 18, both as a regular attendee and as an exhibitor with RPG Haven.
In the run up to con, there are always a lot of people on here asking questions and looking for advice, so I've decided that I'll be on here answering your questions and giving general advice!
The moderator of this sub r/shinnon has posted a big Comic Con guide but I'm happy to go into further details about any questions for first time con attendees or anyone that might be looking for more activities to do at con that don't just involve shopping.
All the advice about Comic Con that you might find online is useful but often pretty generic. They'll tell you to wear comfortable shoes or to stay hydrated but I'll be able to give you advice specific to MCM in the Excel Centre such as how to get into the After Party or where to rent a power bank for your phone at the Excel Centre for as little as £2.
Give me your questions and I'll do my absolute best to answer them!
On the Friday I will be getting a plane at 6:30 from Edinburgh and arrive in london at 8, i get to the con at 10 and I have priority but I wont be able to get ready and my outfit sorted till im actually at the con as I can't wear it on the plane or get ready on the express, is there a place inside the con to get prepared?
hii! would anyone be keen to cosplay/shoot genshin/fontaine together at the upcoming october mcmlondon?
it will be my first time flying down and attending a london convention and would be nice to find some folks to go with. i plan to cosplay as furina, and maybe sandrone if my luggage can afford it
Hoping to find other fellow genshin/furina enjoyers and cosplayers while im there!
Anything on where best to stay/eat, cosplay/photog groups or friends I can reach out to would be nice!
Im mainly on instagram, but am trying my luck to try find more local contacts in London through reddit
if there are other outreach groups i could try, please lmk thank you!! (picture is my furina cosplay at hoyofest singapore last weekend)
Anyone know any reasonably priced hotels around the Excel, prices are already high and I don’t know where to look
