So this year the Conservative party of Canada decided to book a convention at the same time as Anime North, in the same building. Meaning it's basically been a bunch of us gays/nerds walking around in costume, confusing the fuck out of groups of politicians and businessmen.
(A couple of them actually called the cops on us because there were people walking around with giant cardboard weapons. And the police were like "what do you expect us to do? It's a comic con, we can't tell them to stop... they literally go through a weapons check at the event").
(My friends and I also had some of them come up to us at a restaurant to ask us “what the fuck an anime was” and if it was just “one big party”).
This is one of the funniest things that has ever happened to me....
