Human Chess casting call

Tom from Buffalo had the right idea, just not on a big enough scale.

"Ninjas vs. Pirates" will be just one of [the] showdowns at METROCON'S Anime Human Chess Match, which will take place during the Tampa Bay, Florida-based anime convention, during the weekend of June 24-26, 2005, at the Tampa Convention Center in Downtown Tampa, FL.

METROCON 2005 is now accepting applications for a variety of in-costume roles. Interested cosplayers and actors can visit www.metroconventions.com for more details about cast member responsibilities and requirements, as well as images of the anime characters participating in the chess match. Applications are due by Sunday, March 6th, and cast members will be announced shortly afterward.
