PAX South 2015 Cosplay Gallery

Last week was the inaugural PAX South in San Antonio, Texas. I went to get in on the ground floor of this event, to be a hipster of PAX South if you will (“I was there before it was cool, man!”) Also because PAX Prime 2014 tickets sold out in under half an hour, and I was nowhere near a computer when the tickets became available. But who needs them! I certainly don’t. I got to go to PAX South. That’s where the real action happens. Who needs Sony, Microsoft, EA, and those other big triple-A publishers clogging up the expo hall? I need that as badly as I need Ebola. So screw you PAX Prime! I’ve got PAX South, and that’s all I need.

The previous paragraph is completely, utterly, 110% sincere. If you take that any other way then you need to get your sarcasm radar repaired because it’s missing a few screws, and I don’t suggest reading instruction manuals with that thing malfunctioning. I was trying to make a point. Oh right!

So I went to PAX South 2015! Although it is the smallest of the four (a fact that I’m sure will change in time) the people that show up are still the same cool, kooky bunch of folks. Many of whom dress up. I’ve taken it upon myself to catalog these strange and wonderful participants and to share it with the world. Please take a look.
