Convention story thread. Talk about weird/fun shit that happened. We all have one.
>at room party
>go to the bar
>touched a girl's hand
Yeah, shit was pretty cash money.
Last year at anime expo me and some friends were hanging out in front of the convention center and there was traffic backed up. So there were a group of black dudes in a car and had no idea what was going on. They see a sluty sailor moon as nd start yelling "ayyyy yo is that sailor moon?" "Ayyy biych come over here".
It was genuinely funny to see people who have no idea what is going on.
>cosplay shippuden hinata back in 2010
>go to gathering
>only shippuden hinata to go off site and hang out with about 20 other people for more photos
>end it with playing ninja and another group photo of the ones hanging at the park
>one person suggested grabbing boobs
>i laughed and said okay
>it escalated into everyone in the group putting their hands over the other chicks hands, so it was a photo of all these different characters grabbing my tits
It was actually one of the most fun gathering I have ever been too. I said fine because it was a girl who grabbed them, but I wasn't expecting so many people to jump on that be like, "ME TOO!" I wish I had my computer from 3 computers ago because that was the only one with the images from that gathering on it. ]:

>go to our first out of state con
>we are very friendly people and have won awards for our cosplays

>one guy, large, sheet ghost tear cosplay with a gengar hat sits

>ready to start moving, tell him it's been fun, goodbye
>hhe gets up too. Starts to walk in same direction
>tthen same areas. Same panels. Same photoshoots. He's now following us as if he's with us
>we let him know we got stuff to do, 2nd goodbye.
>wwe lose him in the crowd, but we keep seeing his gengar hat in the crowd, like a shark fin following us
>we see him a 3 more cons, he always knows it's us
>after he started posting yandere lol shit on our cosplay pages, I kindly told him to fuck off
From ththen on we coined the term "catching a gengar". You know those guys at each con that go alone and latch onto any interaction they can? That's a gengar. It's an unwanted possession

The jaws theme was strongly playing in my mind.
I've had a few of these, but none as creepy. Usually mine have been understanding and polite, just a bit lonely.
