Weirdist Con Experience

[Mister_E]

Okay I remember one, It was during the Black and White Ball and Daryll of of the Emcees from the Masquerade noticed I wasn't really dancing with anyone and grapped me and a few other guys and led us to the row of girls sitting without partners and tolds us to have at it. It was quite awkward let me tell you, but soon after I danced with a girl named Stephanie (My god I hope that was her name I am the worst when it comes to names but I think she knows that...I hope) He saw with when we where dancing and gave me a thumbs up But it was weird to begin with Daryll is VERY nice by the way.

That wouldn't have happened to dance with me, by any chance?  :P  Since my name is Stefani... It's Josh, but i call you Ron?

THAT WAS IT! Yeah you were Haku but in a Black with Red? dress. Oh man I'm sorry I am the worst when it comes to names. people most of the time remember my name and when they say Hey Joss, I blank. And let me guess for the Ron thing it was Ron from Harry Potter and I right I get that a lot.

on sunday i was wearing my shippuuden Hinata cosplay, and these two girls dressed as akatsuki members randomly glomped me out of nowhere saying, "I LOVE YOU!" and then running off to glomp another Naruto cosplayer. it was pretty amusing.

[Poacher]

Heh Heh...Welcome to Glomping Yuu :P

I'm just glad that my Cross Punisher is made of 67 Lbs of Solid Oak, At Fanime 2007 i accidently blocked a glomp and sent some little girl flying (i freaked and turned into the "omgomgomgomg imsosorrypleasedontkillme" person) but yeah...props have two uses :P

I was dressed in a pink and black gothic lolita outfit, and I'm in the bathroom. A lady comes up to me and says, "Oh! You're such a cute lad! Cute lad! Such a cute lad!" As she's leaving "Cute lad! So so cute!"
... awkward, you can say.  ???

[Steve.Young]

Cute...lad?

Wtf

[Yuu]

 That's easy.

AX ..06' ( I think)

We were not the weirdest group in town.

As I walking around the of the hotel, I noticde some old men in Black leather kilts. Not too bizarre, must be Scotts.
Then a man in a dress. Okaaay a little strange, but it is an anime convention.

Then I went across the street to..some other hotel.

I passed two men, in their sixties at least, in black leather bondage gear holding hands.
Then a little further down the hall was this old man in a very..colorful and over the top 1600's ballroom dress and and feathered mask. he was going on and on in a VERY foppish manner about how difficult it is to be the prettiest Queen. (he was actually very entertaining in a non creepy way)

We later found out it was a 50+ gay man square dancing convention...across the street from us, which was across the street from some Catholic conference.

I'll admit that the last couple Fanime's have been pretty tame, wierd-stuff wise.  So I have to go back a bit for this one. 

Fanime 2001- Kunihiko Ikuhara was a guest of honor that year.  He had directed several Sailor Moon episodes as well as the R movie and was the director for "Shoujo Kakumei Utena," which I was big into at the time.  So I was excited to see him.  However, not excited enough to wait in the big @$$ line for panel or autograph sessions.  So, how excited was I when I ended up in the elevator with him...three different times!  I also ran into him on several occassions in the halls.  It was wierd.  By the third day of the Con, when we ran into each other for the umpteenth time, he was looking at me funny.  He probably thought I was stalking him.  It was pretty odd.  I would just smile and wave. 

[Haruka]

Okay, I lied, I just thought of another one.

Also Fanime 2001- There was a Christian Woman's Home Schooling Conference at the same convention center that year and they were in the hall right next door.  Their kids liked the costumes and were looking around like they'd landed at Disneyland.  So my friends and I (who were all cosplaying) are sitting on the floor of the second mezzanine and this lady rides to the top of the elevator with her two young children, looks at all of us for a minute and goes back down.  This happened two more times before I got kind of annoyed.  I felt like the main freakin' attraction at the Chaffee Zoo.  So when the fourth chick did it, I yelled as loud as I could, "We went to public school!  Don't let your kids turn out like us!"  Yeah, those ladies kind of avoided us all after that.

Walking to the Con on the last day.  I saw my friend, but he was with a girl.  Billy and I talked for a bit then walked some.  His friend started slapping my butt with her hand-held whip (think S&M).  After a few whips, I turned around and threatened to destroy her beloved whip by throwing it into the incoming traffic. 

She ignored me the rest of the day.

Gay square dancing convention! ^(0.0)^

I read about it in Maxim.

Along with the hearse drivers and sex addicts convention.

[Thisiskat]

For me spartan poke in '07...

However this year, my friend just got done in the pool and a weird blue man decided to stroke my friends back on the elevator ride up... the whole ride up...

Well the weirdest con experience for me was seeing two friends I haven't seen or talked to in eight years or so. O_o I was just walking and some said, "Alex?" And I looked back to see this kid I went to elementary school with. It was definitely a weird "small world" moment.

Oh and another weird/fun one. I was recruited into a skit an hour before the the sound/voice deadline. XD I ended up providing the voice for Riku and was Zexion in skit #18 which was a Kingdom Hearts spoof (obviously). :P

[SangSeiku]

This one just made my whole con experience worth it last year:

My friend (female) was cosplaying as Sanji from One Piece.  We were wandering the Artists alley and a group at a booth was joking around.  Suddenly another Sanji (male) in their group turned to my friend with a pizza box from "Sanji's pizzaria" (or something along those lines) and proposed "I never thought I would meet a girl as beautiful as me!"

It was just realy cool!


Oh, and while we were andering the halls, some random cosplayer offered us some reeses puffs cereal.  We were starving so we each took like one piece... (realized later we just took food from a sranger and thanked heaven we hadn't been poisoned.)  (It was also because we awere at teh con and it just feels like your friends with everybody, because you know they want to be there or they wouldn't have shelled out the cash to go to something as strange to normal people as an anime con...  It makes me smile everytime I think of Fanime. :) )
