Exactly my feeling; I always heard about those "small con" vibes, but you really felt it at PhaseCon. I talked to so many strangers (some who I've known on Discord) and you could hit it off with anyone. Maybe your oshi wasn't the same, but there was always something to talk about
One of my favourite things about PhaseCon is that no matter where I was, if I saw any kind of Phase merch or the badge I could strike up a meaningful conversation, even if I didn't know that person. Felt like I could talk to everyone for hours about their oshi's, and it feels like the Phase community is so tightly knit that no matter who you get sat beside at the maid cafe, chilling in a line, or even sit beside during the concerts you more than likely had tons of things in common with the person next to you and it was such a beautiful and freeing feeling. Thank you for this beautiful weekend, thanks to all the hard working staff and volunteers and ofc the Phase Girls 🥹🙏🏻 I will never forget this weekend.
