After following friends and seeing pictures on FB of people at LFCC I feel like now is the time to stop wishing I was somewhere like that and to just go. They all looked like they were having so much fun.
DD1 is very much into the idea and is just as excited as me.
DD2 is also talking about it a lot, but at 3YO Im not entirely sure she has the same idea as what to expect as DD1 has.
Its only a cheap one we are going to (nowhere near the expense of London), but I seem to be spending quite a bit on costumes for the 3 of us. A couple of quid here, a fiver there, a tenner next is all adding up. Im still excited about it.
Funnily enough DH is the big comic geek in this house. He has comics put on hold in his shop, he has to get onto Ebay on a Wednesday to buy his comic. They are all bagged and boarded and filed away neatly. Yet he is so not interested in mine and my daughters plans for next month.
Anyone else go to these things? What can I expect?
AIBU?
to be excited about my first cosplay and comic con next month

Lots of fab costumes, lots of people, great atmosphere, lots to take pics of and temptation to spend LOADS of money on memorabilia. Drinks & snacks are usually expensive.
If your LO dresses up they're likely to be made a fuss of. 
YABU if you are any older than about 12
I knew there would be at least one person who doesn't get it 
though we are all into different things.
iklboo no Im not going as HQ, not yet anyway. Maybe if I decide it is my thing then maybe then. This is just a small one to find out if its for me.
My DD's are both dressing up too. We are all random things, nothing together. Though DD2 just wants to be Olaf.

Good call. We had a strict budget. We could have spent hundreds if we'd had it. We're ALL geeks in this house.
