Great event. If you've never been to an anime/manga con, you should go to this. Just to people watch its so worth it.

Thanks to Ceej for stopping by the booth, wish I had more of a chance to chat.

Hopefully she'll post a link to photos of some of these costumes, its impressive stuff.

I walked past the booth several times before recognizing the name. I felt like such an idiot because I just couldn't remember why I posted a link on my website. lol

I actually didn't take many photos. I'll have to see if my son took any, but he spent most of his day in card tourneys. The costumes were incredible. It's amazing to see what the attendees (most I'm sure were under 18) can come up with. I really wanted to sit in on a couple of workshops (How to become a Ninja!!!) but people-gazing made me lose track of the time. I didn't even check out the gaming area. The convention center is HUGE! Thank goodness for escalators. I wish there were more vendors and more variety of product but there was plenty to see, dom, and buy. Every corner turned there was someone selling pocky.

The cutest thing I saw amongst the extravagant costumes was this father who had brought his son who was maybe 5 or 6. The boy wore a faded superman logo t-shirt and a simple red cape.

I do not like comics, superheros, card games or anime but, i think i should go to this next year. Im sure the people, esp, the women, are very, very strange. Though i dont want to be surrounded by a bunch of really fat chicks dressed up as cats.

Seems like NYC and Boston gets the "good" conventions....

Insert a barbed wire bat down your throat, be sure to chew liberally. So, basically, FU.

Look, message board, or not, this that and the other thing, Im FUCKING SICK of hearing about that. This inflammatory shit has been going on for years, on this board and at least a couple others probably, and after a while, its sickening to have to defend against your OUT AND OUT FUCKING LIES. Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation

So, there's your nerve, thats all, and if you call bullshit, the lines busy, trying to get through to you.
