First MCM Event!
Hiya! So I’m 25, neurodivergent and it’s my first con!
I’m planning to cosplay as SpongeBob (if I get everything in time, plus I’m fussy about clothing textures)
I have a few questions:
1) I’m on adhd meds + sertraline and find that I get warmer easily, getting the train up there I’ll be fine but with the underground and stuff I’m thinking of wearing shorts underneath joggers so they’re easier to change out of/into
2) does anyone get changed into cosplay when they get there? I’m don’t wanna turn up all hot and sweaty
3) how early is too early? I’m going on the Saturday and I know it’s going to be busy and I don’t wanna be too early but I also want to avoid big crowds of people
4) I’m bringing my loops, earphones and fidgets? Is there anything else I should bring?
5) I’m happy going alone like I don’t really want to talk to anyone, does anyone else feel like this?
6) I’m bringing a ita-style backpack, thinking of somehow cable tying keyrings and stuff I want to bring incase someone steals it (maybe cable typing the zips together, I don’t want my things stolen and I doubt I’d be able to hear if someone unzips my pockets?)- suggestions/advice?
