I went to Anime Boston with a few friends back when I was living on the east coast. I brought my 3DS and received TONS of Streetpasses. I definitely had a lot of fun, even if I'm a bit of a casual regarding anime. I also felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb because I was one of the few people not in cosplay. I never have been able to do cosplay, really. I won't do male characters for obvious reasons, and I never really thought I could pull off female characters. Maybe I can now, I dunno. One of these days I'm going to cosplay Aerith, damnit!
Yeahhh, I get the feeling of looking out of place when not cosplaying but on the hand, it's just so much more convenient!
