Ed Kramer, the co-founder of Atlanta, Georgia’s Dragon*Con has been in trouble with the law for years. He’s recently been extradited back to the state on child-molestation charges dating back to 2000 and while he no longer claims association with the convention, he still receives financial compensation from it thanks to shares he holds in the corporation. As a response to the most recent events, some creators are calling for a boycott of Dragon*Con until they take steps to remove Kramer from the institution entirely.

Comedian Dani Herd recently did stand-up at the Laughing Skull Lounge in Atlanta, George, you know, the home of Dragon*Con. That’s important, see, Herd is a geek. Her set mostly revolves around her love life and love of Fraggles. I adore her instantly. Adult language is used, you have been so forewarned.

Cosplayer Ruby Rinekso is a cool dude in my book but he just solidified himself in the cool history books thanks to this project. Rinesko had a plan to propose to his girlfriend Jennifer Haviland at Dragon*Con during the DC Comics Characters Photo Shoot. He was going to be dressed as 1960s Batman while Haviland would be cosplaying Batgirl from the same series. As if that wasn’t enough, three of their friends, in on Rinekso’s plan, decided they’d ask Dean Cain (Superman from Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) to play a part. And he said yes. This is a dream come true and it didn’t even happen to me. Watch with a tissue.

As a person who attends several pop-culture conventions a year, it’s been my yearly goal to try and attend at least one show I haven’t been to before. I already did that twice this year with Emerald City Comicon and GeekGirlCon but I figured, what the heck, why not make it a trilogy? So I went to Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia. I’d heard it was crazy. I’d heard it was cosplay central. I wasn’t prepared for either. Read on for details about the trip as well as tons of photos!

A creeper in a dress, with matching purse? Must be PAX. But this weekend doesn’t just play host to PAX Prime, but also the 25th annual Dragon*Con with its fabulous parade of cosplayers and fans through downtown Atlanta.
Warning: the contents of this post may include Time Lord babies, intra-fandom team ups, and Sailor Scouts comforting lady Captain Americas.

io9′s got a great round up of Dragon*Con cosplay, and there are just a few here that we couldn’t help
Of course, the lure of a lovingly crafted steampunk wheelchair is frequently too much for mortal men…

No, this is not a retro-fied picture of the Avengers shoot that’s taking place in New York City. Because that man in the Captain America suit is none other than Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s Jonathan Frakes, who worked for Marvel in the 1970s. Amy Ratcliffe believes she has confirmed this by Mr. Frakes’ cleft chin. We stand by her conclusion. (at Geeks With Curves)

What could possibly make gender-swapped MST3K cosplay even better? Almost nothing, unless they were somehow caught on camera providing witty commentary during any or all of the panels. Like one of the panels that featured MST3K alumni. Can you even imagine that? It’s mind-blowing.

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.

The Voyager crew is in 1996 LA. Also Ed Begley and Sarah Silverman are there. I LOVE IT when Star Trek does cheesy time travel.
