I once drove that long to get to a convention.

Never. Again.

Just because you can drive for 12+ hours, doesn't mean you should. Next time I'm either planning two full days for that sort of driving, or taking a plane.

Midwesterners don't just drive 12 hours for a weekend trip. 8 hours is the max for that

Personally, i typically dont want to do any more than 5 hours for a weekend trip

Sorry but I had an image in my head of you driving wearing a cosplay for more of twelve hours

I once wore my costume home from an out-of-state larp. It was comfy, but I did get some stares while pumping gas.

My father once flew me to a private Star Wars con in a small sports plane. Of course I had to wear my Emperor costume for the entire trip. But then again I did get greeted on the airfield with a purple carpet and a limousine blasting Force Commander's Imperial March remix.

My last convention was 20 minutes away, I was sooooo happyyyyy. I’m done commuting hours to go to cons. I’m too old.
