Pumpkin Festival

When I heard about the costume contest at my city's Pumpkin Festival I knew I had to enter. I mean, I have a few costumes lying  around that might work.  While the judging was pretty sketchy I'm happy to report that my Cyberman won first place for the adult division.  I was announced as "Robot."  Afterwards, talking with the judges it was clear that none of them were familiar with the character.  So I've learned that I'm an amazing cyberman and a pretty darn good robot as well.   Taking the cyberman out in a non comic-con environment was a lot different.  First of all, very few people knew what I was and a few children were afraid of me.   After awhile people seemed to warm up to me and I gave out quite a few fist bumps.  One kid shook my hand over and over and then hung on my leg until his mom dragged him away and another little boy asked Chuck if I was a real robot or if there was a person in there.
