But I'm trying to imagine a Baptist convention staring. I boggle. What I'm finding weirdest is that every time we go out to dinner someone comes up to our table to ask us if we're all from the big sci-fi convention. How can they tell? We're not in costume! We're just out and eating like normal folks . . . There are a lot of non con people who stand and stare. But I’m trying to imagine a Baptist convention staring. I boggle.

Less so at SF cons here in Oz, I think... I guess the cosplay crowd is mostly at anime cons. Also, seems like all Australian SF cons have this rule about "no weapons, not even toy ones", which is understandable up to a point, but so many sf costumes call for ray guns and swords and such.
