The katana is balanced beautifully, and one of the things that really anchored me to it. It's Damascus steel, and while it's a replica, it's certainly not a toy--it was created with too much care for that. After over twenty years of being obsessed with storytelling and fantasy weapons, few things please me more than collecting my favorites, from Leon's Desert Eagle to Claire's Lugers to Squall's gunblade, and there'll be many more treasures to find in the future, but I never had a katana, of all things. And out of all the many, many katana in the world belonging to the many, many heroes, this is the one I am supposed to have, and that's very clear to me.
San Diego Comic Con is indeed the master of all cons here, and is legendary. I'd love to go to it someday, when the finances are kind enough to do both in one year. Not everyone cosplays, either--lots of people do, but not everyone. It's almost as fun to read people's witty t-shirts as it is to see costumes--my favorite was the 5-day weather report for Alderaan, with Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday having weather and Thursday and Friday being blank. XD
As for NYCC--or any other reason at all you wanted to come north--should things ever align properly, all you'd have to do was get to an airport. I'll do the rest.
You know how we will sometimes meet people who we just know are supposed to be in our lives? I think the same is true for certain objects, even if they're newly made. You touch it, or merely see it, and it's like you recognize it deep inside yourself.
Ooooo, poor Alderaan *snickers* Mean, but funny, and that's one of the other cool things about these kinds of cons. You have fans from all across the spectrum, whether it's anime/manga, games, or sf in all of its permutations (science fiction to sword fantasies, books to tv to movies.) There's no way in any of the nine hells anyone could possibly be bored *^_^*
*takes note of final comment, smiles, and hugs* As always, thank you, my friend. I still have hopes...
