MY FIRST TIME ........... AT OTAKUTON

so this summer i when to otakuthon in Montreal. it was my first time going to something similar and a really like it. so here is my question my 5 best friend all came whit me cus i dint want to go alone. but they are really not into this kind of stuff but they still came with me since we all do stuff we don't really like together. (like for me going to hockey games yurk) but they found it fun at first but after 3-4 hours all started bitching. so next year should i go alone or is there a way to make convention fun to them?

Honestly, you should of expected them to bitch, conventions aren't exactly everybody's scene.
I'm sure your conventions has some kinda of forum somewhere, so if it comes down to it, just find a new group to enjoy cinsni with.

No point in wasting your money trying to entertain uninrerested friends when the primary reason to go is to enjoy yourself.

I always go to Otakuthon alone.
I do tell my friends about the panels I'm hosting but going around with a group for a convention that has so many different things is just annoying.
