Regardless, you definitely won't need to spend hundreds of dollars just to come and hang out with me ;p. I just mean aside from a few people you met at YCon, you don't really know that many people in California, whereas one of the main reasons I'm even going at all is because I know so very many of them.
Heh, well you're more than welcome to do any cosplay you want, really. But people are also welcome to think what they want, you know? You and I cosplay characters for different reasons, of course, but you've already mentioned that one of those is a problem for you - you play characters because you like them and you think they look cool, I play characters because I like them and think they look cool, but also because I look like them. Neither way is really better than the other, but you've mentioned that it bothers you. The obvious answer is to play characters who look like you, too, or at least ones that I don't to avoid direct comparison.
You're also more than welcome to come to ToA if you want to, but if the motive there is mostly to hang out with me, it'll be a waste of time - I've already made room plans, cosplay plans, and event plans with a number of people.
