so, yeah, I was at the NY anime festival as claire for saturday and sunday and I was surprised I got as much attention as I did! my other cosplay getups would sometimes get a nod or two, or nothing at all, but I got lots of nods/photo requests as claire. the three favorites would be me being asked if I was tuxedoman (capcom missed the ball on that one ...) , kobun shizuno (he's the co-director of the new eva movie) said it was 'sugoi' and being interviewed by some people from the IFC. (I don't know which is a scarier idea: having rail tracer on tv or me. XD) really, most people didn't know who I was, but were like WHOA, GUY IN WHITE SUIT/CONDUCTOR/MILITARY GUY. three actually
did know (two asked where the blood was) and it's likely the director knew, too.
