C0LDFusion's Journal: Anime Conventions and Dances

Before I begin, I'll lay down this: Anime Conventions are the reason I stay alive. If it were not for Anime Conventions and the possibility of going to them, I might possibly commit suicide. And anime con dances are sacred to me.
Why are they sacred? Because Anime Con Dances used to the be only dances I could go to and dance badly and be able to pass it off successfully with a "I meant to do that". No judgementalism, no rudeness, just pure good times.

Now, to my gripe.

This rant is brought to you by the individuals who took over my last few convention dances. The ravers who think they are wanted. They bring their glowsticks to the con dances, and they force people into circles, and then they run the whole show as if they are staff.

Until Katsucon 8 I was fine with ravers. I didn't hang with them, they didn't hang with me, and nary a harsh word passed between us. That has changed.
I HATE RAVERS.
Ravers, there is a time and a place for everything, and it's called college. If you wanna pop E and suck nitrous, that's your decision. But when you want to take over 2 whole convention dances and make it into a farce of glowsticks and breakdancing, I get pissed.
KEEP YOUR SUCKY TECHNO RAVER BS TO YOURSELVES.
At Anime Conventions, we should dance to Anime music. At a rave, you can go do whatever the hell it is you trashy little angst-wannabes want to do.

Now, let's head to Webster's for a definition of "Raver":
Raver(n) [Ray-VER]: A spoiled rich kid who wants to be a goth without being unpopular. Ecstacy Addict.

As I plan to go to Katsucon 9, I'm discussing things with the security head and the con chair about patrolling the dances this time around, and there will be confiscations of those glow-stick nunchucks and other swingy toys. This con will not be ruined by ravers, and if it is, I'm going to get REALLY pissed, and when I get pissed, enemies get hurt.

Thank you and God Bless.
