If you go and hit the show alone, you don't have to worry about everyone else. You get to do what you want, look at what you want, and not to worry about someone getting left behind or someone being missing...I've actually gotten more stuff done that way...

See how smart Pat is!


LOL, thanks! And the funniest thing is that I always travel with a group of 4 people...the one day we decided to do solo runs of the convention, we picked up everything we were after, got the autographs we wanted, AND attended the panels we wanted to hit.

Of course, it's also fun to have them along...but that's when you're not in a hurry...

Totally!

Sometimes when I go with friends they just hold me back. Then again, the friends I've taken were just posers who felt like it was cool to be a chick at a comicon, but then got bored when they didn't know any of the books or care.

Crampin' my style.

Usually I like going alone so I can do the things I want, or I have my sister tag along with me, and she follows me wherever, so it's like I'm by myself anyway. Wink


I do the same thing with my brother. We usually scour every aisle and search for the good stuff. We're unstoppable...

I use my sister to wait in sketch lines while I'm off hunting for books. Wink

If my brother did that he'd keep it for himself since we like the same artists...

Dude, we'll all be there! You'll only be traveling alone. Besides, that's always hot to say when you're mackin' on chicks at the airport.

"I'm... traveling alone...Let's go find a closet and go do it."


Because that line works everytime huh Chris? Razz

RC


87% of the time, it works-- everytime.

Don't ask me, ask Taki. Well, Tak', did it work?
never macked on a chick, so I dunno.

traveling alone is really actually fun. talk to any stranger, (you don't have to mack on anyone, just a passing conversation with anyone) and it's interesting because you're not stuck becoming their friend.
I was once asked to display my artwork on a porn-site which I declined.
got some cookies from this lady who was just as bored as myself.
I bring books and shit with me, but I never crack it open because I end up talking to someone next to me or whatnot. it's an adventure all on it's own.


The Plane Ride I'm Cool With. I Was Just Wondering What It Was Like Wandering Around The Show Alone, I Have Only Done It With Friends.

Wayno.
depends on how much you love comics.

and what you want to accomplish at a con.

buy stuff? look at stuff? go to panels? show your portfolio? get autographs? eat overpriced shitty food? mack on the 2% population of girls only to find out all but 3 of them are there with their significant other? you know, the usual.


Significant Others Can't Stop Me.

Wayno.

I swear, that's one of the first things that come up in conversation when I talk to a creator or fellow fan. "So, are you here with your boyfriend?" "Did your boyfriend get you into comics?"

Is it so surprising that I'm there on my own and left the ball and chain, who is oblivious to comics, at home?

The comic geek's girlfriend stereotype is up there with the smelly fanboy one.

(and Taki, I know you didn't mean it that way!)
oh, it's cool.

my old boyfriend when I was 22 got me back into comics. so in a way, I fall into that category. except I kept up with it for almost 8 years now since.

Yano,
I promise you that they are only asking you that to find out if you are single or not in hopes that they have a chance.

Oh yeah, not to mention that you're also drawing comics too! Not bad at all.

Well, uh, yeah, that too. Embarassed

I think it's part to see if I am taken, though part of them is actually surprised to find out that I'm there on my own.

Actually, never dated anyone who liked comics. Gave the hubby Y: The Last Man to read but he didn't hold it the right way so I took it away from him.

Yes. I'm a bit cuckoo about my comics!
