Got back from working at Anime Expo last night. It was so busy I didn't have time to actually watch any anime or leave the table to shop for more than 20 minutes at a time.
Lots of people in costume, some bold and sexy like a Felicia from Darkstalkers in a body stocking with bits of fur glued to it, or Chocolate from Sorcerer Hunters in a latex thong.
Some sad things though, like seeing people carrying around signs saying "Kiss (character they're dressed as) $1.00. And there was the usual handful of men inappropriately cross-dressing. What possesses them to do that? "I'm a big, fat hairy man and I want to wear a tiny bikini or schoolgirl uniform and get in everyone's face!" Bleh.
I was too busy selling things to feel lonely in a crowd full of like-minded people, or too tired after the fact. Maybe I'll save that for the Comic-Con in a few weeks.
