Duncan Cyrus, age 21, Shera
So, I have been a part of a comic/manga club since my freshman year in college to the present. My first comic convention was an eventful one. The club that I had joined, only, at the time, consisted of ten members, which included me. Granted I had never met them because it was an online group. We had arguments and debates that could last for months. It wasn't just your garden variety type of comic debates either. We would use facts and realistic scenarios to see who would be right. It came down to percentages in the end which character had the advantage over the other. If you look online they have all kinds of these debates.
Anyway, one of our members let us in on a convention that was happening in Dodge City, KS. It was happening in a month and for a weekend. Luckily, my job allowed the days off for it. I told my parents about it and they were skeptical at first, but happy at the same time because I was getting out and having fun. Said the couple who was going on a damn cruise in two weeks.
I put together my costume and booked a room for two days and two nights. The drive there was alright, only took about three hours. I got to the hotel, checked in, and waited in my room for the crew, if they were coming. After about two hours two showed up. The rest said they couldn't make it.
