Dubbed the Ultimate Lobby Con, Katsucon had an extremely large number of cosplayers. Possibly 20% higher than your average con. The gorgeous Gaylord Convention Center boasted quite the canvas for photo ops and interaction.
Surprisingly, for those who didn't want to attend panels, the only thing the pass got you was access to the insanely busy merch room. I did manage to pick up some swag while in there and enjoy looking at the weapons and attire.
Friday Night: When arriving, the con wasn't nearly as busy as I anticipated. But, it was fun nonetheless. Got to have dinner with Batman and Wolverine, following a run in with the police who insisted that Batman remove his mask while outside. Really people? It's friggin' Batman! Go hassle the Joker for his ridiculous amount of makeup.
Wolverine is Tech Saavy, and I'm a nerd. Super excited to see another Ivy!
Amy Pond The Formal Batman
Wolverine RAWR! Batman had to excuse himself
to take care of business
Saturday: Saturday was packed!!!! TONS of people. Definitely more of what I expected. There were so many people taking pictures and everyone had smiles on their faces. I met some amazing cosplayers, and loved the different takes people had on their character. I was also in Doctor Who heaven. So many doctors, so little time. So, we all spent the day being mauled by paparazzi and admiring the artwork all around us. P.S. It was freaking cold outside! Oh, and Slenderman spent much of the afternoon messing with people in a glass elevator. I giggled every time I passed them. Saturday night we donned our formal cosplay attire and went to a couple of convention bars. I met up with Bane and had quite the epic impromptu photoshoot. We definitely looked like we were up to no good. Oh, and Doctors! Did I mention the Doctors? Swooooon.
Batman and Ivy.
Love collaborative photos. Brilliance! This Harley was to Die for.
The Blonde, The Brunette, and The Redhead. Be afraid.
That's what he gets for stepping foot in my garden.
One of my favorites.
Batman!!!
The ultimate fight in regeneration.
Poison Ivy is the new companion. YES! Great 10th isn't he?
Captain America. Closest I've seen to the movie. Wow.
Xmen trouble.
Mega(Wo)Man. This was killer!
Minecraft cameo.
I love this because it shows how a person can interpret and mold the same character. Fantastic Boys!
Venom Deadpool?? I say YES YES YES!
Best group photo of the con, IMO. Assassin's! (Now I want a hoodie.)
And just in case you were still worried about Waldo. Don't worry.
We found him.
He's now locked up in Arkham.
The Nightlife:
YOU! You want to go party! Oh, yes you do!
Come along Bane, darling. There's a world to run.
Who said Bats can't dance?
Wonder why everyone else at the bar suddenly disappeared?
The Kool Kids table.
This is how the Wolverine does formal. I'm thinking yes.
Ivy Photobomb! WHAT!
Sunday: After a LONG night of hanging with the heroes and villains, we headed back to the con. I was still tired and sore from the rather constrictive Ivy, so I went with my signature sexyGEEKGirl tee and converse. A girl can't go wrong with a good pair of converse. I did some great interviews, which you will see soon and tooled around talking to some other cosplayers. We ran into "Old Wolverine" and couldn't help but get a generation pic of three Wolverines. I also got to talk to a great new friend who was experiencing her first con. I think she's hooked. Late afternoon I headed home, exhausted and in disbelief that the weekend had come to an end.
Good morning. What time is it? Time for coffee?
The hallway carpet was quite comfortable and pretty.
Thankfully no one minded me laying in the middle of the floor.
Come on Logan, put a little more effort into it.
He didn't even bother to break out the claws.
But, Slenderman was still doing his thing.
The most badass Hello Kitty ever.
Xmen Generations. Yeah, he's still badass with gray hair.
SO, to say the least, I had an epic weekend. So many wonderful new friends and connections. Such eye candy. It was a blast.
If you're interested in seeing more from some of my friends.....check out their fan pages.....

Stay tuned for interviews!
Cheers,
