That kind of events might be kinda intimidating, even more if u re an anxious person. I don’t know your age, and your interest. In my first year, i started going to anime and comic conventions. Cosplayers are kindest people ever. They always are grateful for being photographed. And was a great training for me. Technically and socially. I learnt how to talk to people in those places, to work fast and many more things.
