On a less jackass note-

It's probably a lot of fun, but it's nothing that I could get into.
I've been to Disney World as an unsuspecting participant of Star Wars weekend, and though the Star Wars stuff was cool, it didn't really float my boat to dress up and pretend to be a storm trooper or Luke or anything. I can only imagine what a Con, which isn't a weekend at disneyworld but a Con, would be like...

Surprisingly enough there are non-nerdy people there, at the con I went to in 2004 I saw a girl totally cosplayed out (she looked lovely by the way) and at High School she was easily classed as a prep for all the years in high school not to mention she was a cheerleader junior year. I was very surprised at that.
The con in Dallas appeals to gaming, Anime, and Fantasy/Sci-fi so it goes for everything, I go for the gaming part now and I prolly wouldn't be able to do much anyway 'cause I'd have to sit at my table and make people buy my stuff! >=[
But yeah, there are -alot- of those crazy one's that think they're actually the person they're cosplaying as. I say cosplayings only good if -you- personally make the costume yourself, if someone else made it it kind of looses it's flair.

Yeah at the con you can either drink in the bar only or bring alcohol in an ice chest but I don't think I need to be getting drunk at my table in the largest part of the con in a potential Kefka suit.
That just spells all kinds of fun disaster.
