/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

There's a small con in Charlotte called Ichibancon where I've nearly interacted with him twice.

The first time was a couple of years ago. I had a friend working in the dealers room and we were going to meet up after it closed, so I was just kind of walking around near closing time. There was really no one in there at that point other than the venders, but Egg Mcnogna (and a handeler I think) walked in and was looking at the booths. I remember he was wearing some kind of weird meshy shirt and some way-too-tight pleather pants. It was basically just the two of us in this really small dealers room, and he kept giving me sideways glances and smiling at me. I just tried not to make eye contact, but he seemed genuinely confused that I wasn't fangirling over him.

Makes me chuckle to this day to think of how weebs would have killed to be in that situation. Especially because earlier that night I had gone to dinner with a friend and his group of friends and this one bitch literally spent the whole time talking about how Dick Mangina had kissed her on the cheek and was impressed with her wallscroll because it was from a lesser known anime he did or something and he asked her where she got it. I think she was even president of an anime club or something. I kind of wish I had seen her the next day just to tell her, but then again I wouldn't have wanted to stand around and listen to her scream for another 2 hours.
