Picture Kaleidoscope 6/5/13 - The A-kon 2013 Edition

A-kon 24 was HUGE!
New hotel, new bigger rooms, and with it being the first year at the Hilton Anatole, new chaos!

So dark and mysterious!

Tons of awesome detail!

The lady with the Grrr suit even had a piggy backpack! Hee!

You'd not believe the amount of detail on her dress. Amazing!

Lucius Malfoy.

I don't think he he has my best interest at heart here. Heh heh

Black Butler!

Costumes from all over the place.

Just amazing!

Mouths, teeth, and eek!

Bird lady

Like an evil Chinese sorcerer straight out of a Kung Fu film. Yeah!

Ninjas for the win!

New earrings my daughter created at the con - Chibi Chains!

I especially liked these! Look like an insignia for an anime or something. :P

Princess Tutu!

I love the inflatable unicorn! They all looked great too. Loved the long horned weapon thing.

Gargoyles! (She looked fantastic!)

Mustaches for everyone!

She was so adorable! She even had deer freckles!

Merida from Brave!

Nooooo! A Creeper! Hissssss

So bright!

Is this awesome or what? 

My second attempt at a plushie. heh (Dragged him along for fun)

There were a lot of awesome statues and art at the hotel. Didn't get to go looking around though. :(

Pagoda by the front desk.

Pre-reg line on Thursday night. This is but a small section of the humongous line. Hopefully they will figure out a better set up for registration next year. Eek!

Across the isle artist neighbors before the halls filled up. :)

Horse head!

I fell in love! This dragon is MINE! Mine mine mine!

Got us an Alain Viesca print this year. YES! (need to find his name and spell it right! Eek)

Bronys were in attendance. The backpack was so cute!

Steampunk Megaman!

Awesome figures and toys were available for sale.

Hawkeye, Thor, and Loki. They looked great!

More Black Butler peeps!

Totally loved her android costume! 

Unexpected battle - Rafael vs. the Foot Ninjas! Woot!

More hotel art!

He even had shells sewn into the costume!

Lee Martindale and other author/editors at A-kon.

Love his pipe gun! It just looked awesome! :)

Ursula from the Little Mermaid. Totally rad!

As you can see, there was a ton of costumes and stuff going on. And I probably saw but a small fraction of it all. Mind bobbling!

Picture Kaleidoscope - AllCon 2013

This past weekend was AllCon!
So of course I had to take pics. :)

I LOVED this! Multi-generation Star Trek. 

Sebastian from Black Butler.

This guy made a great Colonel from the SF TV show who's name I've yet to be able to recall. Loved that he had an led light in the tube to the Molotov cocktail to make it appear lit. 

Amazon Athena? She was all glittery! Mean looking spear too.

Loved this one too! Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians. Even to the frost on his hoodie. 

Cruella De Vil - she looked Fabulous!

Sand People!

Bucky! So cute..!

Sam and Dean Winchester! From the episode where they got sucked into the TV shows by the Trickster. These two did like 3 costume changes through the day (Couldn't get pics! Wah!) In the Medical Show, regular civies, and in their CSI costumes with the sunglasses from the same episode. I thought I saw Bobby Singer join them later in the day. Heh heh.

Sith Cheerleaders! The 501st was in attendance doing all sorts of panels, games for the kids, and more!

Bjoran Hogh Priestess outfit. Photo does not do it justice. Wah!

Iron Man was also in the house! He had working lights on the hand gauntlets too. Several incarnations of Tony Stark running around.

Though Pan Am only lasted 1 season, it obviously made an impression on some peeps out there. She looked great!

Louis from the Vampire Lestat.

A little vampire action too!

Incredible detail on this costume! Photo does not do it justice.

Look at those wings!

Is this not the cutest outfit ever? There were a lot of dolls. I heard there was even a costume contest for the dolls. I saw several wiz by that were utterly amazing! One had multicolored feathers wings and another 3 foot span dragon wings. Wish I'd been able to get pics!

My Little Pony was also heavily represented. 

Ack, wish it had focused better. I couldn't help but think of this as Star Wars ala The Wizard of OZ since the costume set up is in the same vein as the lion and the scarecrow. 

Yeah, I forgot to bring the good camera. It's amazing how the phone camera can do awesome one minute and not so much the next. :P
