Artists Wren Posted April 21, 2014 Artists Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'll be the fat guy in the black t-shirt. My first Reapercon, I was shocked to enter the room where the speed paint was being held, just to see a horde of guys who looked JUST LIKE ME: bald, bearded, bespectacled, with a few extra pounds to lose and wearing black T shirts. Freaked my buddy Michael out even worse. After our first Gen Con, I forbid my husband from bringing black t-shirts there. Trying to find the average height dorky looking guy in a black t-shirt in a room of thousands got old fast. ;-> 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowRaven Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 yes, yes they will. Years and lots of expensive therapy, and even then it may not be enough to cleanse their mind of the horror that is me dressed up in a Japanese school girl sailor suit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years and lots of expensive therapy, and even then it may not be enough to cleanse their mind of the horror that is me dressed up in a Japanese school girl sailor suit Just imagining this will now require years and years of therapy to get over. Thank you for the imagery Tim. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Bedlam Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I like to rib Bryan about his refusal to dress up in a Slave Leia costume.NO ONE wants to see me in a Japanese schoolgirl costume. Hat or no hat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
