WhedonCon Cosplay Picnic
This Sunday from 1-6 PM, the coordinators of WhedonCon put on a pre-con cosplay potluck at Griffith Park. As get-togethers go it was pretty chill, with some food laid out on a picnic table and cosplayers and photographers mingling in and out as there was another cosplay event going on at the same time in Griffith Park. It was a pleasant place to hang out for a few hours, nerd out over various fandoms with people, and snap photos of some great cosplays. It definitely got me pumped for WhedonCon!

And the pièce de résistance – Buffy cosplay! Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a show that spoke to a generation, and still lives on today. There’s just something so timeless and hardcore about a female teenager becoming the Slayer and fighting vampires, demons and the forces of darkness in her own backyard. It was a treat to have the famous Spike/Buffy/Angel love triangle present for a photo shoot.

Sword fights are a must when it comes to a good photo shoot.
