Ahhh, Katsucon eleven, where I achieved my life long goal of leading (almost) the entire main cast of Get Backers in the Yatta! dance...in the middle of the hallway...three times!
My friends and I set up a Honky Tonk. Complete with our portable sign, tape player of random music, and lots of pocky; we wandered the halls in search of customers. (Paul kept a tab of how many sticks of pocky everyone ate.)
Here's a pic of the full group we gathered. For once the Honky Tonk was at full capacity!
