I'm back

Aug 07, 2006 07:16

Well, I survived a crazy weekend at the anime fest in Baltimore. What a blast it was too, and I am greatly relieved to find I am not as big of a geek as I feared. Sure, dressing up is one thing, but when you got people wearing full costumes like Brian from Family Guy, complete with the enormous head, then some people go too far ( Read more... )

I was thinking that Baltimore was close by, then I realized I was thinking of Buffalo, >_<. If those two towns switched places, I'd have been able to start joining you in a few years.

If you want to stick on Jury Duty remember to not appear too intelligent, or else they'll cull you!

If that video is a vision of the future, we're extinct as a species as of now, o_O.

I know. A long, loooooooooooooooooooong time ago when I went to a few Star Trek conventions, I'd notice the inevitable storm troopers / Darth Vaders and wonder the same thing. Similarly, why do people keep dressing up as pirates and fairies at Renaissance Festivals?

*shakes head*

But ooh...a guy dressed up as Jareth, eh? I had a bit of a crush on that character when I was a kid.

Anyhoo...glad you had a good time :)

Hurray for Suikoden cosplayers. I'm also happy to hear about the Tir cosplay. The only Suikoden characters I've seen before was this one girl who did a full knight armor Lady Chris one day of the con at Anime Weekend Atlanta '05 (and she did Chris's vagabond outfit the following day... I need to find those pictures).

For more things the Japanese have decided don't have enough mecha - see American politics-based video games: Metal Wolf Chaos, a lovely little gem that's already in English, but will NEVER be ported to America. Youtube's summary movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Genl242_ZU8

Good luck with jury duty!
