Conventional Wisdom

This wasn’t one of those “big deal” cosplay masquerades where you have whole groups and everyone does skits and stuff like that. Just walk on stage, do your little pose, and get out of the way. Good thing, too, otherwise I’d have made an even bigger doofus of myself than I actually did. I mean, really, how do you not see a table with several grown adults behind it, mere feet away from you? I found a way, folks. I found a way. (and it’s not like I’ve never been on stage before, either!)

(Historical Notes: This is also what’s happened every single time I’ve ever been stuck trying to lead a panel.)
