I'll be at Momocon weekend after next! I've never been before so I am excited! At the moment I'm planning on bringing Donna, Belldandy, Belle, and Meg (which is new! I've got progress in my blog...). Since I've never been I don't know when I'll wear what, exactly. I will hopefully wear each of those costumes at some point between Friday evening and Sunday morning. So there's my schedule for ...
Every year I end up picking out a song that is my "dragoncon song" for the year. A song gets to be a "dragoncon song" by either being something I've played a lot over the summer while working on costumes, or just because it makes me think of dragoncon. I thought I'd put together a playlist of my dragoncon songs. 1. 1,2,3,4, Sumpin' New (Coolio) - This is 2014's song. 2. Get Lucky (...
Friday I ended up staying home from work with an awful migraine that was making me sick to my stomach - I don't think the remnants of my head cold helped, either. Friday night I felt awful. So I was worried about Saturday! I had a friend's baby shower to go to in the morning, and Chase's birthday dinner that night, with MidSouthCon in between, so it was going to ...
Today's question is... What's in your repair kit? My repair kit is pretty subjective to the costumes I'm taking; I tend to think of what can go wrong on this costume, and make sure I bring stuff to repair it if need be. My husband also carries a completely separate repair kit of his own, and I never know what's in that, LOL. Here it is in it's post-Dragoncon glory. ...
Today's question is... Something that wasn't asked but I wanted to talk about anyway because I'm a grumpy old lady. In my adult life, I've gone to dozens of fan conventions, of all sizes and genres. And I've seen a lot of people act like idiots. Young and old fans alike. A con is a great place to let your hair down, and have fun with your fellow geeks and ...
Today's question is... Should I make a facebook fan page for my cosplay? It's really dependent on your situation; namely, how much do you want to keep your private life separate from "con life," and how many friends request are you getting from the costume/convention community? For some reason, I've seen some people think fanpage = ego. This really isn't the case. Honestly if we could have as many friends ...
Several several years ago, our local newspaper posted an article about one of our local cons. I found it by happenstance, just from googling around afterwards looking for pics. Well, they had used an AP photo from San Diego Comic Con for the article. That was the only image for the whole article. And I'm like, as long as this con has been going on here in town, you don't ...
Strange coincidence. Or maybe not? All I can guess is strange coincidence. Hotel for the convention I'm going to tomorrow calls me on my cell phone yesterday. I didn't answer since I didn't recognize the number, but googled it afterwards to see who it was. No voicemail left. That wouldn't be all that unusual except I don't have a room for this con (it's close enough we just drive over), ...
Our photos from GMX are up! Event section and costumes are updated with new pics!
Well it's a week later, I guess I should finally post about GMX, huh? We drove up after work on Friday! We got in later than we expected but we got into the room fast, and I threw on Trillian and we hung out downstairs, and went to the Favor panel! Kevin in the Falcon cockpit! Kevin was doing the photo scavenger hunt I set up for him all weekend, ...
