Going to Katsucon alone. Any advice on making new friends

So I went to katsu last year and it was fun. Even though I didn’t cosplay myself. However, I don’t know many people myself that would come and all the people I do know can’t come. I’m thinking about making a solo trip but I’d like to know if that’s worth doing. I live locally anyway so I was wondering what the best ways to make friends and put myself out there are. I’m no hardcore weeb or anything just a casual fan so I’m looking to meet chill and cool people. I plan to check out the nightlife and was wondering if anyone else might. I’ll be Sasuke btw
