Well...of course....it' the annual Katsucon convention

Oh the things you learn while traveling.......sitting in a cafe on Friday...we noticed people passing by in tights and short outfits (men and women), guys carrying giant aluminum foil-made sabers (some of them as large as 6 feet long) and lots of girls with ribbons and very very short frilly dresses.

Well...Maybe it's just Friday night in Washington DC.....but on Saturday more and more folks were descending on our little neighborhood dressed in costumes.... so I asked these girls....what's going on....a Katsucon convention.....to celebrate anime and manga.

Folks were dressing up to impersonate their favorite anime and manga characters since the convention had photo shoots, skits, games, panel discussions and autograph sessions.

The best part.....sitting next to a Wizard on the subway.......
