MegaCon <\/em>wraps up today at the Orange County Convention Center<\/em> and last night was time for the largest of the three Afterparties. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Taking place in a ballroom at the Rosen Centre Hotel<\/em>, the theme for this After was “We \u042f Toys”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Out on International Drive, traffic was absolute gridlock but we managed to get inside around 8:30PM and was surprised to find this many people already here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The opener DJ Daggett (USA) was in the ground floor booth. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
When you’re the opener you are faced with an empty room and it’s your job to get things started. And he definitely did.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There were some characters already out there to help out!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
See what we mean.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
His set was mostly EDM bangers and it got the crowd moving! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
As traffic eased outside, more and more people were able to make it inside and onto the floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Even more off the dance floor at the dozens of standing tables.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then at 10PM, the opening ceremonies for this 14th Annual Official Afterparty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The crowd got excited because they knew that meant Go Go girls!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And there they were! They <\/em>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
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They also say you can never go wrong with Go Go boys.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We were told they were right.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
When it was time to toss-out the light wands, we recognized this one!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Part of Air Dancers<\/a><\/em>, Aerialist Dawn Gluskin!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted backstage later: Dawn with Cecil.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dawn wasn’t the only one working a pole last night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Beginning at 10PM, DJ Jimmy Joslin (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Going back-to-back with DJ Evolv3 (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Their set a mix of EDM hits, Old Skool Breaks, Top 40 old and new.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And the dance floor was absolutely packed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While the DJ’s played, the Go Go girls kept go-going. There were zero complaints.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The show was off-the-chain! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And jammed front-to-back!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A good percentage of the crowd was in costume this year. Wish we had brought more film to capture them all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Something about this couple grabbed our attention. I think it was that pair of…….eyebrows. Yes, that’s it. Nice pair.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Evolv3 getting the crowd riled-up!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Around midnight the lasers began flying!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They were amazing in themselves.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A couple European acrobats performed during their set and earlier a group of original Mighty Morphin<\/em> Power Rangers<\/em> had visited on stage. Let me tell you, the producers of this show, Moshi Moshi Productions<\/a><\/em>, spared no expense in creating this spectacle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you missed MegaCon <\/em>or the Afterparties <\/em>this year, mark your calendar for next year, February 6-9, 2025. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
