naruto and company take plimouth plantation by storm
ok, so a while back (perhaps while at anime next) me and sarah decided that we wanted to go down to plimouth plantation while in cosplay. today was that day. for the event, naruto, deidara, and neji went to plimouth and confused many a tourist. laura came as well, but alas, she opted not to dress up.
on the ride down, we got slightly lost. we lost a good amount of time, but created entertainment with deidara's iPod. deidara and neji tortured naruto with our odd taste in music. upon arrival, we find our parking and begin confusing poor innocent people in the 17th century. as soon as we exited deidara's car, we began earing a crapload of confused stares. we purchased our tickets and confused the workers in the visitors centre. walking into the plantation we got even more stares. several people stared at us in a painfully obvious manner. as in a stared back at them for several minutes. after i'd smirk they'd look away. one little kid recognized us, and wanted to follow us. his parents wouldn't let him "why won't you let me watch naruto?!" "you already did...you saw them..." i ran around talking about how i was looking for gaara, and kept trying to get naruto to come with me to the akatsuki's lair. one person stated as we walked past them "ninjas and pilgrims don't mix.."
while we were walking around, one of the role-playing workers stopped us to talk.[note, this guys supposed to act like he's a settler in 17th century plymouth colony] he says that we're dressed oddly, but at least we're dressed. many people have been walking around half naked [he points to a young tourist girl wearing shorts and a tank top] he asks us where we're from, and we tell him we're ninja from japan. we then proceed to have a conversation with him about japan, samurai, japanese hairstyles, and a bunch of other stuff. this guy was nuts. he had the whole 17th century englishman thing down flat, and he was really historically accurate. i'm pretty sure laura got much of the encounter on tape, dunno if the sound came out at all though. as we left the dude, i told him i was looking for someone, kinda short, reddish hair, carrying a huge gourd. i asked him to let me know if he saw him. (i highly doubt he did, considering we didn't see any gaara cosplayers wandering the plantation. we didn't see any cosplayers at all, to be accurate)
theres much more to the story but my brain died. heres pictures instead! thats easier than thinking.
naruto's hand stuck in a cannon...
deidara waves at unsuspecting passers by
neji looks out into the distance, in a very emo way
three ninjas take the mayflower by storm!!
and a few pics from my most recent con. because i can.
neji's poker face...we're playing rummy
team gai! (gai-sensei in the back standing in back is the one that saved us from the creepy guys at the rave, by the way)
i guess jesus lives in new jersey...
sasuke's caught in the middle...
this hinata was wicked good...doesn't she look cute?
