So my good buddy Dan sent me a link to an Iron Man Armor Costume the other day. I guess some guy spent all of his time creating a Iron Man suit and went on to sell it on ebay. The auction closed at $3,905.23 not including a $650 shipping cost. That is freaking expensive and almost a retarded amount of money to spend on a costume… Yet some how its probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I want one

So during the middle of May I took a fun trip to Anime Boston. If you don’t know what it is, let me fill you in on some of the details. It’s an event that spans three days and takes place in the Hynes Convention center in Boston. The tickets to get in were 30 bucks or something like that, I paid far ahead of schedule so I can’t really remember what it was. Basically all people do is dress up as characters, buy abuncha Japanese merchandise, buy artwork, and go to live shows or panels. Yup that’s about it. It sounds like a gyp and I kinda felt stupid the first day cause it wasn’t really that fun, but the next few days were much better. It basically boils down to the people that you bring, the energy that you bring, and fun that others bring.
So some of the highlights of the convention was actually just being an ass and taking pictures of cool cosplayers and being an ass with these cool cosplayers. FUN! No really, it’s pretty fun to see some of that stuff in person. There were a lot of typical cosplayers like Final fantasy and Naruto but that makes the interesting and unique ones stand out. Some of the other cool things was the mini concert. It was weird at first cause I don’t think many people knew the singers cause I didn’t, so people were just like sitting there. BUT later they started to get into it and it was really fun. I think it was the singers fault for not getting us into it earlier they were just dancing and not playing to the crowd. Oh and yeah I was being an ass there too so it was fun. And then there is the masquerade. Its not like what I thought it was going to be, but it was interesting. Pretty much people that do the cosplay strut their stuff and then have abuncha skits. The Death Note one was pretty funny and IMO the best one. After that I think the last thing was watching some shows and cartoons. It was some ninja anime and it was freaking strange yet hilarious.
Anyways enough talk, you want Pictures!
Holy Crap!!! Japan is building a giant Gundam! The thing is huge! Well… its a normal size Gundam…. BUT IT’S REALLY FREAKING HUGE! The geek in me is crapping his pants. If Mobile Suits did exist, it would be pretty damn intimidating to see them. Click the link for more pics.
