Next week I’m heading to Baltimore for Otakon for the 2nd year in a row. There’ll be about 20K anime, manga, and all out East Asian pop culture fans in attendance. Most of these people will be much younger than I am. But that really doesn’t bother me at all. Why should I give up the things that I love and that are fun to me, just because I’m older?
Well it appears that I am not alone in these thoughts! We are many, and now we have a name, Rejuveniles! I’m not sure I like the way that sounds though because it implies a lack of taking adult responsibilty. And that is certainly not the case for me, or likely most of those other kindred spirits. We pay our bills and work hard too. But who, better than aging adults, knows that time is short? I still believe in Heaven, but I want to have fun here too, just wanna have fun…
