1. What are you MOST looking forward to at DragonCon (other than seeing your friends)?
Seeing what costumes people show up with… the amazing stuff… the surprising stuff, anything. And just being there. Wearing my own costumes. I feel like I haven’t been to a “real” convention since Dcon last year.
Also, seeing the Marriott at last finished with construction.
2. What are you LEAST looking forward to/dreading at DragonCon?
Security staff in the Hyatt… elevator waits… that’s it, I think.
3. What are your DragonCon pet peeves?
People being rude at elevators, though that’s a pet peeve of mine at any con. Not having Chic-fil-a open on Sunday. Security staff who yells just because they’re annoyed in general. People who stand around chatting in the main walkways when it’s crowded… move to the side!
4. How many costumes are your bringing this year (and how done are you?)
12, I think. I’m getting there. I go back and forth between being really confidant in getting everything done, and being really worried.
5. Planning on being a part of any costume groups?
NOPE! š I’m my own person at Dcon this year… I won’t be at the 501st pic or the RL pic or anything like that. Won’t have table duty.
I’m going to be in the Princess group, I’m going to walk with the superheros in the parade, I’m going to do the WPE Marvel photoshoot if I can get changed in time, and slave Leia group – if I can get changed in time. That’s all!
6. Do you have any DragonCon traditions?
We always eat breakfast in the Marriott restaurant the first morning, after getting our badges.
We always take a picture of Ash “falling” down the Marriott.
We always order room service the last day we’re there.
Always take costume pics in front of the fountain.
That’s all I can think of!
7. Anything in particular you plan on accomplishing this year?
Not really. I hardly ever go for the guests, so not really looking to get autographs/pics with any celebs. Not entering any contests and not going to any panels.
I’d like to accomplish getting Starfire on in time for the parade. I’d like to spend more time in the dealer’s room this year. There’s a bunch of people I want to meet up with this year.
8. Where do you think you will be at 1 am on Friday night?
Hanging around the Marriott… or in bed! We have to get up early on Saturday for the parade.
9. What costume do you think we will be seeing WAY too much of this year?
Joker!! Definitely! I don’t mind it. But I bet we see a lot of it this year.
10. What costume will we be not be seeing enough of, do you think?
Iron Man, I want lots and lots of good looking guys dressed like Iron Man… š
11. What do you think DragonCon always has too much of (not costume-wise)?
People? LOL.
12. What do you think DragonCon doesn’t have ENOUGH of?
Room? LOL. I’m really excited to see the Marriott finished, that will give us more space than last year.
13. If you could make one suggestion to the DragonCon staff to improve DC as a whole, what would it be?
Cap attendance.
