Convention time!

Great seeing you (Dennis) at C2E2... So speaking of "My Little Pony"... This Equestria Girl came thru the lobby after you left..

**EDIT** apparently the group was cosplaying "Adventure Time". The Unicorn threw me. So, Guy in purple dress is Lumpy Space Princess. Girl in blue is the Ice King and the unicorn is Lady Rainicorn. There was at least one other in the group (portraying Princess Bubblegum).

Oooookay... There are always lots of cross-dressers at C2E2. (And the PC police require me to add "Not that there's anything wrong with that.")
 
For some reason I haven't been shooting as much cosplay as I'd like to lately. When I do, I like to wait for the epic costumes, like these two Time Lords from the Gallifreyan high council posing with the War Doctor in front of his Tardis.


Time Lords everywhere
 
Ah yes, the annual convention cosplay photos. Love 'em even though I don't get what 9/10 of them are about. I've never seen a single episode of Dr Who...
 
I've seen every episode of Doctor Who and I don't know who half the characters are. They come from TV, movies, comic books, video games, other types of games, Japanese anime and manga, and so on. It's crazy. Last year at the Gen Con cosplay parade, there was a whole gaggle of Elsas singing "Let It Go."
 
Gaming is the prime focus of the convention, yes, but there is a lot for the non-gamer like me. Most of the events that I attend fall into the "entertainment" category. If you're interested in seeing what the schedule looks like, you can download the 14,000-line event spreadsheet.
 
Personally, I'd rather hit Wizard in Nashville as there is a Dukes of Hazzard Reunion. I am planning on getting to Wizard in Chicago this year too. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to change hotels and not be across the street like usual.
 
Gen Con is not all about games and cosplay. No, there's also musical entertainment! We have two great local bands that play there, Five Year Mission (a band whose goal is to write a song about every Star Trek original series episode), and today's featured band, The Shake Ups In Ponyville, who play songs about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.


Shaking Things Up
 
You heading to C2E2 in Chicago next month? I'm hoping to be able to make it all weekend. My friend and I tentatively have a room at the Hyatt/Hilton attached to the convention center. So if all goes well I will only have to worry about traffic on Friday.
 
Wizard World brought it's traveling convention circus to Indianapolis in February, 2015. It was poorly attended and isn't returning this year. But since it was Valentine's' Day weekend, some unusual couples showed up. When was the last time you saw Bruce Wayne and Catwoman this close?
