what are rules of swords in portland like? i know in eugene you can carry a sword in public, as long as its sheathed and not concealed, but what about up there? cause if i go to eat in westley outfit, would like to know if i could carry it with me ^^;;;

I highly encourage you NOT to walk around carrying a sword around in public outside of the Con. You might scare people. >.<
Of course, if seven hungry samurai walk into Todai, I want pics of it! ^.^

I am not weird, I am insane. There is a difference you know! ^.^;
But yeah, do try to keep the sword out of the lime light. Flashing it around and swinging it wildly at people/invisible people would be a REALLY bad idea. ^.^;

But you could always just ingore the warnings and see what happens. The portland police would just love more negative publicity...

wouldn't that be lovely to see on the news
"Newscast reporter: some crazed teenager dressed up like a samurai started swinging his sword around in downtown portland today, and police were forced to open fire, rendering the yough incapacitated. we have reports saying he was from the local anime convemntion being hed not just blocks away from there
second reporter: I'd hate to be the unfortunate person he runs into
*fake wewsreporters laughter*"
boy, my mom would never let me goto an anime con ever again, but I'd go anyways! heh :wink:

rofl, i wouldnt take it out at all, just a rapier that would match the rest of my outfit ^^;;; ive had cops here come up to ask if they could play with my swords, but thats about it... but there was that one prick...
