  My favorite story was a goof I 
made at Otakon 2006. It was midday Saturday, maybe two hours before the 
masquerade, and I stopped to use the bathroom in the BCC. I did my 
thing, fixed my cosplay makeup, and noticed that there were two other 
guys in the bathroom--both talking in Japanese. I had finished my first 
year of university with Japanese language studies in there, and like a 
good little weeaboo, I wanted to talk with them. One of the men was very
 stylishly dressed and reminded me a little bit of Gackt. So, I asked 
him in Japanese, "Excuse me; are you a Gackt cosplayer?"
  He 
replies in English, "No, I am Yoshiki."
  I apologize and we go our
 separate ways. I go to the masquerade a few hours later, and during the
 intro, they introduce the Otakon guest of honor:
  ...Yoshiki.
  Oops.
 And, that's the story of how I probably insulted one of the most famous
 J-Rockers of all time.  |
