And by the end of the weekend, I think this picture sums it up best.

SAIKYO!!
I can't wait for anime con season to start again. If you've never been it's the one place where anyone can fit in and virtually anything is considered socially acceptable, for better or worse. Anyone who complains about being a virgin has never been to a con, because I have seen even the most socially awkward people get laid. But it's not just about sex. No where else have I played Settlers of Catan for 10 hours in a row, or walked into random hotel rooms and been challenged to a drinking contest just for being there. They really do develop a society of their own for the weekend they exist. Call me a nerd but there is something universally appealing about being around 25,000 people that you know right way you have something in common with.

ReplyDeleteWell, they have the alcoholism right, if not the suit.
ReplyDeleteI lol'd. Been to a few cons myself, always good fun.

ReplyDeletewho doesn't.
I hope no one ever sees my cosplay, which is why I posted it on facebook.
ReplyDeleteNo one loves me :<
what did you coslpay as?
ReplyDeleteCons are a lot of fun. It's pretty rare for a dude like me to walk into a giant building filled with people and feel like I share interests with almost all of them. Of course, it goes both ways and sometimes you realize that you are part of a fanbase that is 75% creepos.
ReplyDeleteThe best part about cons is the cosplay. Halloween is my favorite holiday, so cosplay is like getting an extra Halloween (or several) without worrying about people "getting" my costume. If you wear something to a con, someone will always get it.
Drunk Iron man...he's just in character.
ReplyDeleteI should go to one and see how far posing as an alpha gets me.
ReplyDelete..Dressed as a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin.
