Yo.
I am NOT a normal guy. LOL
But I am not an "Anime nerd". I do watch and enjoy Anime, but since last Con I have only watched like 5 series. I am however a gamer who used to work for CCG companies and used to work for card/comic shops.
This will be my third year at K-con. I originally went cause I was trying to reconcile with my ex who is much more anime than I, but I had fun, met some interesting people, etc.
I suffer from Social Anxiety and am a self-proclaimed Hikikimori but once a year I venture to this convention filled with fun weird people who dress like characters I may know and in some cases may not know. I p;lay games like Apples to Apples. I commission artwork. I do all I can to just make a new friend and/or do something other than play MMOs.
This year I will be going with my friend who is an anime newb. He has seen a lil, likes most of what he's seen, but would prefer to watch Avatar for a 4th time. He will be cosplaying as Indiana Jones. I will be cosplaying as the big annoyed looking guy wearing all black. (does that count as a costume?)
If you want to get together with us early on and grab a coffee or something, just so you can have someone to txt and say "Man I am so freaked by what I just saw, where are you guys I need a moment of sanity" I'm sure we could make you feel welcomed. =D
