We're taking it back!

Captin America, the first reverse hoverhand of the day

On March 31, 2012 I visited the Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, Washington. With no agenda or goals for the day, I convinced my friend Chris to help me with an idea so pointless and stupid, it had to be fun:

The Reverse Hoverhand

For those who don't know, The Hoverhand is the phenomenon when a male geek asks to pose with a cute girl at a convention or trade show, but is too afraid to actually touch the girl in question. Instead he hovers his hand mere inches from her waist or shoulder, and the resulting picture looks insanely awkward for everyone involved.

Well to quote Randall in Clerks 2, we're taking it back.

Over the course of the day the idea became a cause, and this morning I realized that the cause needs a home. Hence, http://reversehoverhand.blogspot.com/. I have around a dozen photos from ECCC, with more to come when I hit PAX this year. But I can't do it alone! Send in your submissions to reversehoverhand@gmail.com, and join the movement!

More pictures to come tomorrow!
