ONLY COSPLAYER!
On Friday, I was the only cosplayer of the whole event! There were about 200 people there, but I was the only cosplayer there! I felt all shy in my pink wig and I wasn't with anyone either. I was all by myself. There was an old, short man standing there, near me, and saw me and struck conversation with me. He was short, shorter than I, even though I was in my heels, he couldn't have been more than 5'4"! He said I looked lovely , and assured me that there'd be some cosplayers, and then he reminded me that I WOULD GET A PRIZE, so I was happy about that. He said I should meet his friend Paul. Now, Paul is only the fucking curator of the anime event! >.< So I was quite excited! I met him and we talked, and then it was decided that I would sit with them. The old man's name is Ian, and he is outlandish in style and manner, and you can tell that he loves the high life. He says he prefers manga to anime, and he's a DC man, not Marvel.
Afer the event, I was talking to them. There was some Sapporo beer, but I said how I couldn't drink beer because I'm not 18 yet.
It also turns out that Paul lives in the same town as me! *grins* I also got his card. Paul Gravett is an old time journalist who writes about manga and anime and comics and graphic novels in general. He's a really nice man, and I felt welcomed, even though he's like late-40s and I'm 16. Same with Ian and his extravagant self. I even got to go to the other 'Ghost in the Shell' film, for FREE, because Paul put me on the 'guestlist'! *Raises eyebrows*
He says he'll contact me about all the other anime events, and I gave him my email address. I saw him on Saturday, but Deborah looked uncomfortable, though she always is, and I wanted to introduce her to both Ian and Paul, but she wasn't having any of it.
The weird thing to me about talking to these two old middle-class white men, is just the age. I don't tend to talk to people who are vastly my senior, really. My paternal grandparents don't talk to my family, my maternal ones are dead, and my family aren't close, and my mum doesn't have many friends.
As my mum said "Well, just hope that he doesn't try and groom you. Oh, but you're legal now, aren't you?"
The prizes I won were:
1. The 'Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex' 3rd film T-shirt
2. 'Robotech' complete sags- 85 episodes
3. 'Ghost in the shell: Stand alone complex' series boxset- 26 episodes
4. 'Ghost in the shell: Innocence' film.
All for just dressing up in a pink wig and getting strange looks! *beams a grin*
