MegaCon<\/em>, the second most-attended speculative fiction convention in the United States (after San Diego), wraps up today at the Orange County Convention Center<\/em>. And last night, they held the official MegaCon After Party <\/em>at the Rosen Centre Hotel<\/em> on International Drive. Orlando Entertainment News<\/em> was there!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This year’s theme was “Bloodstone, the Mega Monster Mash!<\/em>“.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It began at 9PM and the opening set was played by DJ Infinite (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The opening music was Top 40 old and new.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The event took place in one of the hotel’s enormous ballrooms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
“The Wobble” drew an early crowd to the dance floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And various skits on the stage brought the crowd into a frenzy, lol.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
By 11PM the place was already packed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Light wands were distributed to those on the dance floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And they would get waved to the music throughout the evening!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Numerous bar setups along one wall drew lines and $9 cocktails was a very-decent price.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While standing at one of the tables, these two guys tapped by shoulder. I recognized DJ Evolv3 (USA) immediately but absolutely did not recognize DJ Jimmy Joslin (USA) until I heard his voice! Amazing makeup work!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Shortly thereafter, they would take over the DJ booth with a tag team set of mostly EDM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Their fast-paced electronic music set had the room bouncing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Of course MegaCon <\/em>after parties are all about the costumes. Here are a few of the ones we spotted.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spotted in the crowd: My annual Man’s Week<\/em> friend Art along with the Bishop of East Anglia. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They say you can never go wrong with Go Go girls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They <\/em>were right.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
What about Go Go boys?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The crowd was great; the music was great; the vibe was great.
