Description:
In the tradition of such classic movies as Big Momma’s House and Tootsie, Gen Con is proud to present its inaugural Crossplay Costume Contest. Crossplay (a mix of “cross dressing” and “cosplay”) has always been a popular part of convention costume culture where attendees create and wear a costume featuring a character opposite of his/her gender. Our event is part costume contest and part RuPaul’s Drag Race - so it’s as much fun for attendees as it is for those competing. Complete rules are available online.
Join opinionated convention personality Joey Snackpants as he takes you on a tour of anime titles that not only “look pretty” but also deliver in the departments of character, plot, and story.
Autobots, Decepticons, Bayformers, & why Beast Wars sucks. Join Tom Croom & Joey Snackpants as they present the complete history of the TF franchise including Japanese shows never aired in the U.S.
