Road Crew
Ever since our Otaku no Baka days, All Cool Things™ has strived to bring you interesting products at an affordable price as well as interact with our community in a positive way.
Here are some candid images of us on the road having fun with you!
Anime Weekend Atlanta 2019
'Not to sound like a downer, but I was disappointed this AWA. I'm not going to go into too much detail right now, but I'm about 70% that this is going to be my last AWA for a while.
It wasn't because of the top brass. I personally met with some of them, and they are still the very attentive and caring group of individuals, despite change in ownership and some management.
I think that it is a matter of something getting too big to control in its present place, and just a few people; we can't avoid some people being assholes.
On the positive tip, there were plenty of great cosplayers and very helpful staff to point us in the right directions. There were theatre rooms set up for all hours of the night for anime lurkers. There were also all of the vendor and artist goodness you expect to find at a con.
I didn't see as many photographers roaming around this time, but I think it might have been because of the highly planned scheduled photo shoots that were listed in the app greatly ahead of time. (I suppose that is a good thing, but I enjoy the chance meetings of conventions.)

Area 51 Night 10/12/19
Area 51 Night at the Battle & Brew wasn't so much a big night for the party, but a strong night for the regulars that wanted to have a good time gaming and enjoying some drinks.
There were only a handful of cosplayers out that night, but there was an artist and publisher out promoting his new web series based on the Area 51 "Raid" that was the center of many recent memes.
Justin Simmonds of Mind Invader Comixs came to promote his web comic which will center around an alien trying to make it to area 51.
Why is trying to make it to Area 51? There's a twist to it, but along the way he collides with Earthlings in all our weird imperfections, and the memes that made the Area 51 "Raid" so viral.

Post Dragon Con Party 2019
Battle & Brew hosted an event to lighten the passing of Dragon Con this year by holding a cosplay party and contest.
Battle & Brew surprised me yet again by making more additions and improvements that included a Dance Fever-esque light up dance floor what was the shining centerpiece of the party!
I was a little disappointed that they did away with their open-faced Prime Rib sandwich platter, but I finally got the chance to enjoy their Tri-Force Nachos and Dragon Talons.
Battle & Brew has gone from a hit or miss place to an all-around good time!

Marvel Cosplay Night 2019
Battle & Brew did not disappoint with their Marvel Cosplay Night!
The atmosphere was alive with some of the greatest heroes on the printed page and movie screen, and so many of the contestants received prizes, it seemed more like a party on the house!
Plenty of great food and great folks; it was a great night at Battle & Brew.

Game of Thrones Cosplay Night 2019
On April 13, 2019 Battle & Brew had a Game of Thrones Cosplay Night in honour of Sunday's premier of the final season of GoT.
Not a lot of people showed up for the cosplay contest, but the food and service was great. Battle & Brew also had a full house for the gaming, so business was all around great.
Battle & Brew also had a few new items on their menu.

Toylanta 2019
All Cool Things™ showed up at Toylanta 2019 to help Ruff Edges promote their Cartersville Comic Con in mid-September.
We really didn't get a chance to experience it for fun, but I can tell you that this is one of those shows that I wouldn't call a convention. it's pretty much a gathering of vendors.
Now, I'm not trying to put Toylanta on blast or anything. I think the attendees totally knew what they were coming to, and they did indeed come for the deals!

Conyers Toy and Comic Show
This was so uneventful that I felt no need to take any pictures. Only one person showed up in cosplay, and it was as a Ghostbuster.
The show was held in an American Legion in Conyers in a medium sized room.

Western Cosplay Night at Battle & Brew November 2018
November 10, 2018, Battle & Brew hosted a Western Cosplay Night and Contest, probably in honour of Red Dead Redemption 2's release. I was pleasantly surprised by the service and friendliness of a lot of the staff, many of which were new to me.
If Battle & Brew keeps this up, I think they will find themselves with a lot of new customers.

MegaCon Tampa 2018
In late September of 2018, All Cool Things™ attended MegaCon Tampa 2018 in Tampa, Florida.
MegaCon 2018 was not like most cons we have attended as it seemed to have a strong element of horror and fans of horror.
There were many special headlining guests but I found the con to be lacking. It was very expensive to get autographs and signed pictures and the accommodations for food could have been handled much better. On Sunday, lines lasted for hours just to get a $10 confection burger and fries or con pizza. There were also a lot fewer attendees than I expected.
By the way, I was very impressed with the Teddy Bear Walker Girl. When I commented on how well her face looked like a zombie, her mother replied, "Oh that's how she usually does. That's just teen angst!" When they walked away, sure enough, that's just how she still looked.

Final Round has had competitors such as Diago, Justin Wong, Low Tier God, and groups such as Team Spooky participate.
All Cool Things™ hopes to be involved in a greater capacity in 2019.

AniBlaze Mini-Con 2016
When we had partnered up with AniBlaze we threw our one and only one day convention at the Sheraton Atlanta in October of 2016.

Cosplay Night at Battle & Brew March 2016
On March 12, 2016, All Cool Things™ attended one of many of Battle & Brew's Cosplay Nights.
Even though any night is welcome to cosplay, Battle & Brew will host nights especially dedicated to the art and lifestyle. Sometimes the nights are themed.
I think that night's theme was Superheroes and Supervillains

Anime Weekend Atlanta 2015
All Cool Things™ had an awesome time at the Anime Weekend Atlanta 2015 and it was the first time I went to a convention in cosplay! On Friday I went as Darth V, a mashup of Darth Vader and V from V for Vendetta. On Saturday I went as Popo Mr. Popo, a mashup of Mr. Popo from Dragon Ball Z and a cop. (Get it?) I got to hang out with the Swaggin' Ball Z crew as a Mr. Popo from an alternate dimension. (We had Mr. Popo's from both sides of the law!)
This was the BEST time I ever had at an Anime Weekend Atlanta! There always seemed to be something going on and we got to hang with our business partners at True Total Empire Inc.

Geek Trivia Night at Battle & Brew June 2015
On June 24, 2015, All Cool Things™ donated a NECA 18 inch LED T-800 Terminator model to the winners of the Battle & Brew's Geek Trivia night.
J Cosplay came in full cosplay as the Terminatrix Model T-X to present the collectible to the winners, as well as pose for pictures with guests and diners.
J Cosplay is also a business partner and friend of the site.

HBO Presents Game of Thrones Season Four Premiere Festival
In May of 2014, All Cool Things™ attended a private screening of HBO's Game of Thrones at the Plaza Atlanta Theatre.
After the screening certain guests were shuttled away to attend a festival in honour of the season four premiere with live performances by belly dancers, musicians, actors, as well as displays of puppetry arts.
Merchandise was also on hand for purchase as well as sneak previews of things to come in the Game of Thrones Universe.

The food was delicious!
Anime Weekend Atlanta 2012
All Cool Things™ vended at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2012 as Otaku no Baka, the name of our LLC.
It was our busiest time as vendors at Anime Weekend Atlanta.

Anime Weekend Atlanta 2011
This was our first convention we had ever been to, vended at, and sponsored! We went as Otaku no Baka.
We went primarily as a cosplay vendor with a lot of Bleach cosplays.
We learned a lot about running our private retail company and met a lot of great people.
Road/Vending Crew of HERETICPRIME, Jennifer Rossiter Strength, Jeffrey Wade, and Nicholas Bray.
We got so many great pictures at this con! The sad thing is that the pictures are low res, as it was 2011 and most low to mid range priced phones did not have great high res cameras, yet. If you want to see more pics, check out our Gallery. We have lots of awesome pics from different conventions and events.
