The rental car was a lot smaller than it looked |

So was the hotel door |

Amanda opted for many small samples instead of one normal bottle of booze |

This is blurry, but if you notice.. Vic accidentaly wore his apple jacket.. while wearing his "genius" shirt |

Vlad's crew. What's up with the guy at the bottom left? |

Elevators and the landmark the congoers call the "Big Ice.. well.. you know" |

Vic and Amanda wait around for the Editor's Dinner |

Omar just wants to eat |

Vic's a Canon genius |

Amanda needs a cupcake on her head |

Omar's all derped out |

That's better |

Omnipresent Jefferson is apparently staff at AWA! |

Dozens of AMV Editors at the Editor's Dinner. How did I sneak in? |

Omar doesn't know what's up with my wide angle adapter |

Nikons are supposed to be good in low light conditions, right? |

The Pony Anthology team! |

Vic ordered the mother of all burritos |

Mother of god.. |

I called this my "refridgerator" |

Enjoy it folks. The one and only photo you'll ever see of my failed Great and Powerful Trixie cosplay. I didn't wear it for long, opting instead for "cosplay support guy" |

Let's hit the con floor |

Omar practices his pimp look |

"Don't make me use my cane!" |

Posing for the first of many photos |

Time to head to the VAT? |

To the VAT! |

Matt Wagner somehow ends up in Omar's pimp gear |

This guy was clearly staying in character |

Time for a photo shoot of Vic, Amanada, and Omar's amazing costumes! |

Applejack and Rainbow Dash feuding once again! |

Omar couldn't keep up that face |

Vic's spiffy Applejack costume. In which he defaced a somewhat pricey actual suit |

Amanda's amazing Pinkie Pie costume. Sure to blow out the color saturation in any photo |

And Omar's incredible Rainbow Dash pimp costume. The cloak alone is a feat! |

A classy bunch of ponies |

So much color! |

Omar's actually only wearing one ear, since the hat is tilted |

Scary statues! |

They were freaking me out |

I hear they're from Doctor Who? |

Posing for more photos! |

Eventually I was tasked with carrying (and operating) Vic and Omar's cameras. It was fun but looked ridiculous |

Vic approves of this photo |

Even the Otakon folks had to get pictures! Sidenote, I really wish I had one of those jerseys :( |

Well well well, look who made it after all! |

Brian, aka SSGWNBTD |

..er... SSGWNBTB? Some Stupid Guy With Nothing Better To.... Be? |

He's the angriest gamer you ever heard.. |

Escalator.. elevator. Escalator.. elevator |

This guy really had the Bane accent down, but he mostly only said "absolutely" |

Vic hides his camera |

Ah! It's one of those flying shark balloons! |

Hey, I finally got to see the Pikachu car! It only took about 14 years.. |

Princess Celestia! I'm honored |

This costume honestly kind of scared me. I left shortly after taking it |

As a fun momento to ultimate AMV Hell fan Mel, I got the original creators Brian and Alan to sign a small piece of canvas for her! |

The room was packed for AMV Hell 6. Unfortunately it was plagued with technical issues. Looks like Vic's netstream wins another one |

Sadly, the AMV community lost a great one in the previous year. Pat Bohnet, aka "Quu", shocked the AMV world with his untimely passing. I was looking forward to meeting him, and he will be missed. |

Lots of cosplayers wandering the lobby floor |

Vic had to admit defeat in his epic struggle with the hotel TV. He couldn't hack it! |

Omar's still working on the Iron Editor intro with like 22 hours to go.. |

A closeup of the canvas Brian and Alan signed for Mel |

It just wouldn't be a trip south of the Mason-Dixon line without stopping by a Waffle House |

These crowd shots are fun. I highly recommend opening it in the highest resolution and just looking around at all the strange little moments happening |

Anime conventions are strange places |

This guy had a pretty sweet GLaDOS rig mounted on a steadycam arm |

Closeup of GLaDOS. It looks like it has some kind of camera in it? |

If you look closely, you can see Seras' red contacts! |

This Derpy is impressive, but really weird |

I like Amanda's funny little hat |

Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle! |

Blair has come trick-or-treating! |

Snake was pretty obvious to spot sneaking through the lobby |

GLaDOS and Chell have reconciled! |

I don't even know what to think of this guy.. some kind of.. Cookie Monster Saiyan? |

I think we found the pony photoshoot.. |

Pinkie Pie as depicted in the fanfic "Cupcakes". Poor Rainbow Dash |

The Pinkie Pies are coming out in force! |

The pony group grows |

Nappa! |

So much color! Everyone is so excited! |

Haruko has learned to play the ukelele! |

Pinkie Pies with a Rainbow Dash center |

Pinkie Pie isn't scared of Slenderman! |

Flo! |

Someone actually made the felt checklist! |

Meanwhile, ten feet away from the explosion of colorful ponies.. another group! |

Omar makes his big entrance |

Brohoofs were exchanged |

Rainbow Dashes unite! |

Bloody Pinkie Pie is kind of freaking me out |

Pinkie Pie freaking out! |

Fluttershies! |

Hey they found a fourth |

And of course.. the Fluttershies are.. shy |

If there are three Rarities, are they still rare? |

Showing off in typical Rainbow Dash fashion |

"So awesome!" |

Applejack group! |

The whole Apple family! |

So many cowboy hats |

Call in the Twilights! |

Twilight Sparkle learns about the magic of friendship. Or at least pretends to for a photoshoot |

Enter Discord |

A very spiffy Discord! |

Villains assemble! |

Of course, the Great and Powerful Trixie is front and center! |

Miscellaneous characters.. and Dr. Who? |

Well.. ok, of course this.. exists. |

Rainbow Dash soaks in the Pinkie Pies |

Mane 6! |

Another Mane 6! |

Yet another Mane 6! |

Gala mode ponies! |

Vic, Amanda, and Omar really nailed their costumes |

Rainbow Dashes vs Applejacks! |

One more group of Fluttershies |

Pinkie! |

Omar suddenly appeared above the shoot in the elevator |

Oh no! Shining Armor is dead! Twilight is so sad |

Why is Rainbow Dash helping the vaillains?? |

Massive pony cosplay group! |

Omar and Discord hanging out in the front |

Closeup of the group |

Everyone get Discord! |

A ton of people were taking photos |

Fluttershy uncharacteristically has a chainsaw.. and is going after Discord! |

Poor discord |

Oh he's OK |

That's an excellent Bane! |

Well.. so much for Rainbow Dash |

Bulma has a pretty awesome Dragonball. What's Carmen Sandiego's problem though? |

Totally normal |

Rainbow Dash loves reading about Darnig Do |

Pony siblings! Probably not really though |

Omar gives out sugar cubes to his "fillies". Also Discord. (Applejack in the front has the sugar cubes) |

Amanda got a sugar cube! |

Posing by the fountains! |

Vic couldn't resist ruining Amanda's photo |

Classy bunch |

Yeah uh.... moving on. |

Omar surveys the scene |

Posing for photos for other people! |

Hey it's that girl from Madoka |

What's on Facebook? |

Yikes, that is a lot of fake blood |

Hanging out on the hill |

I'm not sure what Omar is doing here |

Hey! Go Silver Snakes! |

A Minecraft crew! Someone get that diamond block! |

Talim! The only Soul Caliber character I know how to play |

Blowing bubbles! |

Cosplayers aren't the only things worthy of photos |

What.. is going on here? |

Vic's ready to hit the convention floor. Hopefully he remembers to take his lens cap off |

Render Chan poses with my new Space Core plush |

Getting the Iron Editor machines ready |

Omar loves Iron Editor! |

This year's theme is AMV Hell! Brian More vs.. |

Alan Clontz! The two original AMV Hell creators! |

Space! Space, gotta go to space |

The view from the judge's table |

Brakus mans the board |

Todd hosted Iron Editor |

Helping choose audience members |

Doing a drawing challenge! They had to start drawing one theme and then a second theme was added after several minutes. The first theme was "cats" |

Drawing anime catgirls! |

Cats! |

The audience watching videos |

The competitors continue to edit |

The second theme is.. metal! |

Cats plus metal equals.. this? |

How's the editing going, Vic? |

Cats plus anime plus metal? |

A competition to eat Skittles with chopsicks. My strategy would've been to smash them all up into one big lump and then eat that |

This guy didn't know how to use chopsicks |

Oh Brakus. What are you up to? |

Alan won! |

The creators of Pony Anthology gather for the Anthology showing |

Todd poses with the pony group. His suit is secretly a Spike cosplay |

That's one big diamond |

This is what my novelty disposable camera looks like if you remove the outer cardboard box. |

Zelda with a Super Scope. Can't argue with that |

More people should read this.. |

I really wanted this.. but i didn't want to spend $300 |

Sea of manga |

Vic bought the Kyubey figure in this creepy box |

Inspecting the figure before purchasing |

Amanda's scared |

An excellent Eris costume (female Discord) |

Bye Eris! |

Korra sure is dressed warmly for Atlanta! |

Jessica Rabbit isn't strictly anime, but she's got a great costume! |

Mission accomplished? |

I couldn't NOT sit in this! |

Omar had to try too |

With a little wiggling he actually made it |

"I can see forever!" |

The latest addition to Vic's extensive figure collection. |

It may have been expensive, but it's pretty impressive! |

How apt. Kyubey eats money. |

Now with a creepy red light |

I commissioned this piece for John since he likes to razz me about anime but the only character he knows is Sailor Moon |
