My daughters are HUGE fans of Japanese Anime. T.V. shows, anime books, etc. Well, this weekend was a Anime convention called "Onicon".

When there are so many kids out drinking and being wild, I must say I embrace this fully!
Let Geekdom Reign! ...besides, nerds own the world, didn't you know that?
