The celebrity guests in attendance were peacocking around, but they were very gracious and greeted all fans, press, and photographers with smiles and conversation.

And like most nerds, I can be an incredible cynic as well. When I first saw an ad for the inaugural Headbangers Con in my Instagram feed, and perused the website to see what it entailed, I discounted it immediately. They served as little inspiration for the cynic in me to attend. Plus, I believe metal is primarily an underground pursuit, and not fit for the pomp of a convention. I had to leap into headbangers ballroom fray and see if Headbangers Con was something that the metal community would embrace. I thought the three-day Headbangers Con would be dead. Nobody I knew was going or even interested in going. Naturally, everyone I associate with is the same. Since nobody cool was going, who would. Friday night kicked off the Headbangers Headbangers ballroom weekend. People waited outside for over an hour to get in. The line wrapped from the front door of headbangers ballroom Ballroom, down south east Burnside, and traveled all the way around the corner to Ankeny. Big smiles from Corey Glover of Living Colour Photo By Meg Nanna Everyone I spoke to that evening was excited for the weekend ahead. The celebrity guests in attendance were peacocking around, but they were very gracious and greeted all fans, press, and photographers with smiles and conversation. Stryper put on a great show. The mean age of the attendees was likely 55, but they were feeling like it was 1986. It looked like the cynic was gonna be wrong on this one. Stryper's yellow and black attack.

Yes, there was a meager turnout for the first Headbangers Con, but the small crowd notwithstanding, I had a hell of a good time, and so did everyone in headbangers ballroom. There was nothing but smiles dripping off the faces headbangers ballroom everyone all weekend. Those that did their best to fill the seats for the panels, were enthralled and starry-eyed as they were regaled with wild tales about their favorite bands straight from the people that lived them. David Ellefson was selling basses he had played on tour, and Carla Harvey and Heidi Shepherd from the Butcher Babies were selling handmade crafts and art that they had made themselves. And as far as the turnout was concerned, David Ellefson really put it best. I find, especially at the horror cons, the same kind of headbanger likes a good slasher flick as much as they like a good metal album. I thought this was the perfect idea for our culture. You gotta just fire one off. As long as we keep creating and innovating, we keep laying track for the train to go forward. I hope he continues to pursue these cons. Silence your cynic now and again.
