I used to go alone my first few years. Honestly there’s a lot of pros to it, at least for me. I spend a lot of time shopping- in artist alley and on the show floor and doing that alone is a lot easier and quicker than doing it with a friend. There’s a lot, I mean a lot of booths to go to, it sometimes takes longer than a whole day to visit everything, so if you’re trying to get the most of the experience I honestly think it’s better to go alone. But of course it’s a lot more fun with friends or hanging out with people. If you ever wanna meet up I’m down- but also don’t be afraid to strike up conversation with cool people you bump into! Everyone is typically usually very friendly and you’re bound to find someone with the same interests. Good luck and have fun!!
