MobiCon 2018 Photos, Part the First


MobiCon 2018 was held in Mobile, Alabama on Memorial Day Weekend, from 25 to 27 May 2018 at the Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel.  I attended MobiCon 2018 with my intrepid photographer Michael W. Moses and we took a good number of photos of costumed attendees.

For a few reasons, Mobicon 2018 seemed to have a slightly reduced attendance.  One reason may have been due to competing conventions for the coveted Memorial Day time slot, which gave fans a lot of options for attending conflicting cons that weekend.  Plus, as it was a traditional mundane holiday period, potential attendees may have had a holiday with family at a place other than a SF/F convention.  Lastly, there was an out-of-cycle subtropical storm called Alberto lurking at the bottom of the Gulf that seemed to want to drive itself due north and place its crosshairs uncomfortably close to the areas in and around coastal Alabama and its environs.  The storm didn’t do much, and at the last minute swerved to enjoy some time at the Florida Panhandle instead, but the bad press had an impact on people’s plans on the Gulf Coast. 

I don’t plan to give a description of the convention, because it would pretty much mimic last year’s dual posts on Mobicon 2017 (see links below).  I’d like to complement both the MobiCon staff and the staff of the hotel for their diligence and professionalism.  I know I’ll be attending next year’s MobiCon and expect the same level of enjoyment in 2019.

So without further ado, here is the first installment of MobiCon 2018 photos – better late than never!
