Virgins of the World Unite

While on my usual morning commute to school, I noticed there was an unusually excessive amount of nerds on the train. I soon realized that they were all on a pilgrimage to the anime expo being held in Boston this weekend. Apparently over 11,000 Dungeons and Dragons addicts turned out for the event last year. Of this number, I'd approximate that the number of women in attendance totaled about 4. This wonderful piece of Conan O'Brien segment came to mind when I read that this expo included a "masquerade." God help Boston this weekend.
