What's the difference?

And no, it' snot weird to me... they're just having fun.

Now there's a man with distinguished tastes.

Can you imagine how hard it would be to convince a chick that wasn't your girlfriend to do this?

No, really... I just want you to put this costume on baby.

LOL.

Getting a girlfriend to do it would be cake though, it's easy to get them to dress up as cheerleaders, nurses, anime-style wigs, etc.

Does dressing up as Agent Smith to see "The Matrix Reloaded" on preview night count?

BTW, seriously, I'd love to see someone try it. So far, my TKD training has brought me nothing but peace and harmony. Where's the huge fight scenes???

:D

It bothers you that much?

Doesn't bother me, would just be absolutely hilarious to me and any friends I had with me.

This girl is pretty hot... but she's in like half of the events. She must really like attending these to fly around the country (and even to Canada).

EDIT: nm half of the events.... she's in all of them.

I'm going to need to get a digital video camera and go to the next anime convention around here.

I bet people would pay money to see this, a la Bum Fights.

And you guys act like people don't get in fights or something.

Kids, drunks, and idiots get into fist fights. Which one are you?
