Ever Go Home in Full Costume?

i don't think the diner on the way back would appreciate a load of people in medieval garb armed to the teeth in enough foam weaponry and seed filled packets to bring down an elephant taking up there booths.

Ever see that scene from the movie Role Models?  Paul Rudd is talking to a bunch of larpers in a waffle house & the waitress comes over?  I've heard stories from waiters & waitresses... a bunch of sweaty nerds in tights & fake armor are the least of weird people they get.  Larpers tend to be loud, dirty, & annoying... but they order & pay their bills.  Try working a table of drunk college kids at 4 am after they get kicked out of the bars, want gravy fries, & then realize they lost their wallet/purse along the drunken way & then start throwing up in the bathroom of the place.

As for our assassin in the picture... definitely not in NJ.  9 out of 10, he's driving back from/to a convention.

I used to wear parts of my garb after an event long ago... but not anymore. I've found showering & changing into my civvy's way too nice not to do on Sunday.  I will wear my leather pants to dinner on Saturday nights though.

I didn't have time to change out of Clait's gear one month, so when Zach and I stopped at the rest area on the way home, I was still in full Celt kit... and a woman who saw us in the parking lot asserted that I must travel a lot. We had a nice conversation with her... and then I dropped the accent.

I've gone into a diner in full leather armour and sword....Didn't phase anyone there really, but got the kids going a bit lol.

Not for KR yet but I used to do it all the time before and after hours at the medieval faire I worked at. If I went anywhere within a 30 mile radius, they knew exactly where I was going to/coming from. Anywhere else, I had the delight of being live advertisement for people to come.

I've yet had the chance to do so with my KR character's outfit, but I've done so at anime cons in the past

I don't think I've ever left the game in 100% FULL garb (armor and sword belt and whatnot come off), but definitely the base clothes. I've also definitely driven home from it barefoot in pajamas.

That said, I've been in restaurants and whatnot in full theater costuming, renaissance fair, or convention regalia on more occasions than I'm capable of recounting. As long as I'm with other people in the same dress, or there is CLEARLY some kind of convention in town, I don't feel weird at all about it.
