It was a long drive home from MechaCon IV in Louisiana, made longer by the fact I did not want to come home from this 3 day party. I give a deep bow to Pete and John, founders and owners of MechaCon for throwing an incredible well organized convention. I met a lot of industry guests and had some amazing experiences with the voice talents and musical guests and of course just a blast with all the cosplayers. Somehow I survived the swamp heat and humidity around the hotel to hopefully have captured what you will consider to be great artistic photos.
As I write this article my main workstation is chugging away on the 25 gigs worth of photos, prepping them for editing in my CS3 studio. It should take me about 2 weeks to get everything online. Con sponsored events have to be processed first before I can get to you cosplayers. That is what I am working on today. There may be a slight delay in getting all the cosplay photos up as I am moving on the 25th of this month. Hopefully I will have most of the photos processed and online before that week of moving madness begins.
In conclusion; MechaCon may not be the biggest con I have been to but it is certainly one of the best run in the country. I hope they will invite me back next year. I will gladly make the 7 hour trip again!
Thanks go out to Pete and John again for being wonderful hosts and providing such a fun party for anime fans to rock out too.
Jesse gets extra special hugs and kisses for pitching me to Pete and John and getting me down to the convention. I luffs yous!
I learned several things that will make me more prepared for this con next year! It was a great experience and opportunity! Now… off to edit 3000 photos!
