Long Beach Comic & Horror Con 2013

Last month I checked out the Long Beach Comic & Horror Con, I could only attend for one day but still managed to see a ton of cosplayers. Came across a few I’d seen at Comikaze and also several new ones. The convention center there is a pretty nice venue, the lobby had a lot of open space and very large windows, and the outside area had plenty of room. I do wish the room used for the masquerade was a little bigger too though, and that they’d used different lighting. The ones they used put a purple tinge over everything which just looked really odd.

Pacific Media Expo 2013

Since PMX took place the same weekend as BlizzCon, I was only able to attend on the last day Sunday. But I still managed to get shots of some really amazing cosplayers, and a good seat at the Fashion Show.

PMX took place at the Hilton near LAX, so the venue wasn’t very large and most people usually frequented the lobby where I got most of my pictures. There were a couple outdoor terraces where gatherings were held, but it took me a while to figure out how to get there and I missed them. Still, I’m enjoying the smaller scale cons and I’m looking forward to next year.

BlizzCon 2013

Almost didn’t get tickets for this but I’m still 7/7, having attended every BlizzCon to date!

At previous BlizzCons, I hadn’t taken many pictures of the cosplayers, but this year I made sure to get more photos of them. And there were a lot of really impressive ones! I even ran across Venn Kaden as Mini-Tyrael, who I recognized from AX earlier this year. There seemed to be a lot more costumes this year, although maybe I was just paying more attention this time around.
