My Local Convention
I’ve been attending CyPhaCon for many years now and it was great to return to this local event yet again. This year, CyPhaCon featured Edward James Olmos, Barry Lowin, Mela Lee, and tons of anime voice actors for fans to meet, take photos, and get autographs. I was there as a representative of the Lake Charles Film Festival once again, and had a table on the second floor of the Lake Charles Event Center that allowed me the opportunity to catch a number of fun and informative panels.
There were a ton of amazing cosplayers at the event and I took a ton of photos. Some of my favorite cosplays are featured in the gallery above. One of my newest friends, Kettlebriar’s Workshop, showed off a couple of his cosplays: an Inquisitor from the Star Wars universe and a member of the Green Lantern Corps. Of course, I also had to get photos with all of the Furries because I love me some Furries!
I also presented two panels: The Cinematic History of Batman and Max Fleischer: Animation Pioneer. My Batman panel had a nice audience and my Fleischer panel, while more of a niche topic, did draw in a few people. I attended panels presented by my bud, Frank Schiavo, and anime voice artist Drew Breedlove. I also attended a panel by voice actors Suzanne DeCarma and Lisette Monique Diaz. The vendor area was packed with excellent items, artwork, and additional fan groups.
I had a really fun time at CyPhaCon this year. They’ve already announced the dates for next year, April 11th through the 13th, and I’m already excited to see what my local convention has in store for 2025!
Thanks for checking out my post! My next event is the Fouke Monster Festival in Fouke, Arkansas later this month. I plan on doing a brief write-up about that event once it’s over, so be on the lookout for that one as well.
