you should still go, who cares what people think I go in lolita most of the time and i get these wtf are you wearing stares I just ignore it

unless your outfit is super intricate with details that might break?

Its just that the 38/38L is pretty crowded and in a Haruhi costume that might be weird.... Plus the homeless people as too many questions  :-\

Boy, it's been forever...

I'm not sure how my schedule will be at that point, but if all goes well I may come along. Highly doubt I'll be cosplaying, but... we'll see how things turn out.
Haven't been here much since '09. I said some stupid, stupid things before (and after) that.

I'll see if i can organize that, and i'll be there early. I know people from cosplay.com are going to that as well. It would be cool to have a meet up of sorts.

BTW, the trick to catch the 38 and get a seat in the process, get off at montgomery bart station and catch it from there. Since, it's just coming from the transbay terminal, it's usually empty and getting a seat before it gets hella crowded is nice. :3
