Anybody here ever met a woman (or man) at a Comic Convention and “got lucky?”

There's so much going on among this group that goes way deeper than the surface-level interactions I'm having with you all.  :whatthe:

Man, I must be monumentally naive - I figured the deepest discussions here were regarding the silent admonishment of sellers who still use Media Mail to ship books.

The rabbit hole goes pretty deep here.

I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.

Was it, in fact, the Home of the Whopper?

I've been here (mostly) for 12 years - and have not been to a single convention in all that time. I'm sure I'm missing out on all sorts of in-person camaraderie and salacious con drama.

I know of two board members who had their marriages destroyed by other board members, if that counts. Technically someone found love, while someone else was devastated. 

This makes me think of that whole Clayton Crain / Black Flag mess that played out on social media.

A second hand story, but I believe it to be true as my friend that told me was pretty reliable and not known to tell tall tales.

Back in the 1990's, I was talking to one of my co-worker friends about going to comic conventions and such, and to be honest, I cannot remember if he said that this happened at a Comic convention or a Star Trek convention.

This co-worker friend, he had a good friend of his that liked this girl, but of course she had friend-zoned him quite a while ago. He knew her for years. Well, the guy thought that he was getting somewhere when she agreed to share a room with him during the time they would be at the convention, with separate beds of course. He still had hopes. At the show, they had split up for a while to each take in their interests/sites at the convention, and when he got back to their room later on, there she was going at it with some random guy she met earlier that day at the convention. My co-worker friend told me that his guy friend, upon seeing the gal he was in love with, with another guy, just sat on his bed and cried....Ouch. I don't remember too many details of this story as it was from the 90's, but I do remember him saying it was at a convention in Detroit/Novi. So anyone here the lucky one? 

Me, I've never tried to get lucky myself at a comic-con. I'm too interested in comics while there.

What happens in the GACollectibles booth stays in the GACollectibles booth.  And OnlyFans.  Or TikTok.

Will you please, for the love of God, cancel my subscriptions?

A group of us in Chicago once witnessed a certain sci-fi Brat-pack actor go up the glass elevator with 3! cosplay Harley Quinns, 1 or 2 of whom came down the elevator not long after.  What happens at the Red Bar in Chicago stays at the Red Bar.  Not for me personally as I have been married even before my first comic con.
