How nice to get an unexpected con report! Sorry to hear you got bitten by the melon collie this morning. Hooray for new friends and hooping, though!

If the anime kids get to you, just go up to them and say "Ehhhh, what's up, Doc?" and "Jinkies, Scoob!" and "Oo-oo-oo, I wanna be like you-oo-oo!" They like animation, right?
