Insurance mascot role call: The General! Lady Liberty! Flo! AFLAC Duck!
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover:
In 2019 my wife Anne and I attended our very first Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the longest-running science fiction conventions in America. We once again made the eight-hour drive from Indianapolis and returned for our fourth nonconsecutive Labor Day weekend at that amazing colossal southern spectacle. We can’t conscientiously afford to do D*C every year, but we’ll see how long we can keep up an every-other year schedule before we’re too old or overwhelmed to handle it…
…but in the meantime: more cosplay pics! Except where noted, the following pics were taken Saturday between 11:30 a.m. (when the final marchers in the annual cosplay parade reached the end of the route) and 7:00 p.m., when we dragged ourselves down the Marriott’s fire-exit stairs to circumvent the out-of-order escalator and take our leave of the festivities. Same as last time, we snapped a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the total talents on display, as mere amateur appreciators who like sharing such sights and wonders to You, The Viewers At Home. Sorry we missed thousands more! We just kept doing other stuff! And we’re too old to keep up this pace for 72 straight hours!
The cast of Severance, including Mark S., Helly R., and Lorne, the head of Mammalians Nurturable.
The Scooby-DOOM gang!
Spartans marching toward their starting positions in the parade.
More Spartans. So many Spartans.
I don’t recognize the motifs, but they’re among the cosplayers who gave us swag, so they’re in.
Envy, Joy, and Anger from Inside Out.
Seven of Nine, Captain Janeway and Commander Chakotay.
Andorians in Starfleet.
That time the Voyager crew tamed a Dalek in the Delta Quadrant.
Cogsworth and Lumiere!
The Brave and the Bold presents Batman and Pimppool.
Heimskr from Skyrim again, but with a new sign protesting the Aldmeri Dominion.
The Pope of the Cult of Marriott Carpet. Or maybe one of their popes? I don’t know their hierarchy.
View-Master!
GODZILLA!
He-Man!
Large Marge from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.
A familiar scolding sign to Fallout players who try carrying too much loot at once.

A plant-guy who sat very still in the hallway and would jump-scare the occasional unsuspecting passerby. And it worked!
That one scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade but without setting the Marriott on fire.
Muppet Star Wars!
Super Mario Jedi!
Boba Fett on holiday.
Sparkly Vader!
Our final costume pic of the weekend: B2EMO from Andor.
…and that leaves only our parade photos yet to be posted. We took hundreds. I should probably start sorting those.
