Shinpachi at the Convention!

[Gentatsu]

Last weakend I went to Anime Boston 2005 about 30 minutes away from where I live. I was cosplaying as Nagakura Shinpachi!

I had already pre-registered but my friend who was going as Shinji Ikari from Evangelion had to wait. In the line there were screaming fangirls. For Shinpachi. It may have sounded something like this:

Speaker A: Hey look it's Shinpachi!
Speaker B: OMG! It is!
A and B: We Love you Shinpachi!!!!

This was not the first time this happened. I was waiting outside for another friend to join our "gumi" when some more screaming fangirls pulled up in a car, opened a window and asked:

Speaker A: Are you Nagakura Shinpachi?
Me: Yes.
Speaker A: I love Magakura Shinpachi!!! Let me take your picture!!!

Conventions are really funny that way! If you want to see my picture as Shinpachi online it is :

Me: I'll of course be the one in the Shinsengumi outfit.
You peoples: WE'RE NOT THT STUPID!
