One of the BEST PARTS of Atlanta’s annual Labor Day convention Dragon Con (celebrating it’s 32nd birthday) is the giant group photo shoots. We’ve shared several different gatherings with you over the years; Marvel, DC, Battlestar Galactica, The Handmaid’s Tale, Judge Dredd, and Vikings. We LOVE “Vikings,” have since we first encountered the cast waaaay […]

Dragon Con is the event of legends- 32 years of gathering fandoms from around the world to celebrate in Atlanta, GE during Labor Day. It is THE place to go if you love cosplay; from the truly obscure to the truly magnificent. There are panels covering every possible topic across genres, including an entire skeptics […]

We’ll admit it- some years we get our absolute BEST ideas for cosplay and drinking costumes at the last minute, especially when it comes to Atlanta’s own Labor Day weekend event, Dragon Con. Something we’ve described to friends and hopeful attendees as the “Mardi Gras of conventions,” the truly multi-track con (seriously, there are panels […]

Maybe you’ve noticed the amount of sheer amazing cosplay during Dragon Con from the annual Labor Day convention in Atlanta, Georgia. One of the best ways to experience it – other than, you know, being there in person – is the annual Beat Down Boogie cosplay music video. The group just released the video for […]

We’ve been sharing some pretty fabulous galleries of images from this year’s Dragon Con- the Atlanta, Georgia convention that takes place over Labor Day weekend. Next up on the docket is perhaps one of the most stirring; WAKANDA FOREVER. Just *try* not to be emotionally moved when standing in a group of citizens of Wakanda […]

One of the best parts of Dragon Con is seeing the multiple fandoms coming together in costume. An example of this from 2018’s annual Atlanta, Georgia multi-day geek Mardi Gras is a mash up of Star Wars and Star Trek that makes perfect sense. Cosplayers Galacticat and her beau CGC Creative came up with this great pairing of a Hutt […]

There were many guesses as to what “the costume” of Dragon Con was going to be this year, and almost no one picked Westworld. But obviously, enough fans DID pick Westworld, as this fabulous ‘violent delight’ of cosplay courtesy of Annette Wamser (of Wamser Photography) will show. Our particular favorite is the Delos cleaning crew with the […]

Fandom comes is all colors, shades, nationalities, sexes, and peoples, especially at Dragon Con, which takes place over Labor Day weekend annually in Atlanta, Georgia.  The gathering of the Black Geeks of Dragon Con is one of [literally] hundreds of planned and organized cosplay photoshoots that happen during the convention, and this year it was particularly […]

Nothing like turning a corner during Dragon Con and coming face-to-face with an impressive armored collection of “The Law”- a Judgement of Dredd. We’re still workshopping that collective noun too, but, anytime you see a group of Judge Dredd cosplayers all together, it can be intimidating. Scowls and leather are the name of the game […]

Even though Hulu’s award-winning series The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t your typical convention fare, the red cloak and white bonnets were everywhere at Dragon Con this year. We’re thinking the collective noun of handmaids is a habit, but we’re still work shopping that. This collection of photos comes to us from Kristen Schlicht, who very kindly is […]
