This holiday weekend was chock full of DragonCon craziness, silliness and just plain carnage, thanks to the maker track that is gaining popularity rapidly. Among the largest of the XCon conferences that bring together all things comic book, sci-fi, steampunk…really too many sub-subculture genres to even try to list.

The robot battles are among the largest audience attendance in the world…that’s right. The crowd was huge (there was a line waiting to get into the 2000 seat room for most of the day), loud and rowdy making for a fun competition with cheers and jeers and the occasional wisecrack. Kelly Lockhart served as master of ceremonies entertaining the crowd every minute of the day.
