PAX East 2022 Gallery By FirstPerson Shooter Sunday

The last day of the first PAX East convention since 2020 was quiet, in line with what most of the other days were like — seemingly about 75 percent of the attendance numbers of a pre-pandemic PAX East. Except Thursday. The convention shouldn’t have bothered being open on Thursday.

I had enough downtime in between taking photos of the always excellent cosplays I see at every PAX that I managed to take a quick loop around the showroom floor. I ran into Tom and Raul of Extreme Costumes, and got selfies with Corebot, the newest giant creation from those brilliant crafters and performers. Corebot was at the gigantic Intel booth, representing Newegg.

Unfortunately I didn’t have the stamina to stand in the long lines at any of the food trucks in the food court area at the back end of the show floor. Because everything looked good, particularly the whoopie pies from The Whoo(pie) Wagon, the food truck of a Topsfield, Mass. bakery that specializes in those quintessentially New England treats.

While the show floor was more open than in previous years with fewer exhibitors, the energy still seemed like a typical PAX East, just with fewer people bumping into each other. I look forward to the convention coming back to full strength, ideally as soon as next year.

Among the cosplayers in this last gallery by me from PAX East 2022 are ashleydarkphoenix, IceKhaleesi Photography, CheeseWarlord, nataliefuinha, Nessie Cosplays, shellcosplay_, Samantha Winslow Cosplay, dfox360, Petry Cosplays, blueeyedsirencosplay, wadexcosplay, ctcowboy71, vaultboye, princesspinetree, playwonderlands, hexed_ashessabi__cat, Mink the Satyr Cosplay, spectravita, its_tina_timevo, and many more.

We now use Smugmug to present cosplay photo galleries and will post all photos there, with a link to each gallery in its own gallery article. This will allow us to give you higher resolution images to download — still for free.
