I usually go to GenCon here in Indianapolis. I go as an Imperial Guardsman from Warhammer 40k, specifically from the Armageddon Steel Legion.

Do you get folks mistaking you for doing somebody from the Death Korps of Krieg?

[@Hylozoist]How about Quina Quen? You're favourite character. Final Fantasy cosplays are my favourite!

[i]Yes![/i] And I can regale younger folks with stories about how great FF9 is. I'd probably end up being either suitably cheered up by how many people go "oh, yeah, FF9!", [i]or[/i] horribly depressed by how many people go "[i]who's that from?[/i]".

I'm expecting just taking pictures of neat cosplays and being bored the last day tbh. Thats usualy what happens at these things.

I'd find two days to be quite a struggle (well, [i]one day[/i] would be too), but you never know what'll happen unless you try! I think that's kind of why I'd like to dress up to go to one, beyond indulging my love of dressing up in stupid costumes, it means that even if I'd end up sheepishly sitting in a corner waiting for the sweet release of a tube ride home, I'd have got to spend a day or two dressing up.

Or, rather more accurately, spending a day or two dressing up in a social situation where it's acceptable to do so.
