I had a nearly impossible experience at Anime-Zing! two days ago.
I was humming to myself, standing up and eating my cup noodles and salad, when my sister leaned over and whispered, “Sit down John.”
I responded, “Oh, I saw the sequence from 1776.”
Someone in the corner looked up, and said: “1776?”
Not really knowing what to say, I wait a few beats, and say, “New York City.”
She sets down her cup noodles, walks towards me, and says, “Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?”
Holy fuck, it’s happening. I smile and say, “That depends. Who’s asking?”
And it continued like that. There was no judgement, no tears, just us having fun and singing songs from the musical we both loved. My sister even joined in as the Marquis de Lafayette!
I fucking love conventions
