Sorry if this is in the wrong place or something!
I'm planning on going to fanime 2008 for my birthday (which will be my first ever con), but none of my friends even watch anime/read manga, and since I'm home schooled it would be really difficult to make a friend or two that does. My brother said he would go and bring some of his friends so I don't have to go with just my mom, who doesn't know anything about anime. It's nice of him to offer, but I don't get along well with his friends...
So I'm wondering if I should just not go, or if I should go and hope that I meet one or more people to hang out with. The thing is that I sometimes get super shy, and I don't know how trying to meet new people would go. I'd probably be fine in one of those groups where there's mostly cosplayers from one specific series, but I really don't know exactly what those are like so I'm not sure. I don't know if this would change anything, but if I go I'll be cosplaying. If anyone can help me out that would be wonderful! ;D
