dragoncon 2011 costume list

I'm posting this so I don't forget. Ms Marvel - black suit Ms Marvel/Moonstone - red suit Lady Blackhawk Donna Noble Marie Antoinette Surprise #1 Surprise #2 Surprise #3 Surprise #4 (maybe) Enchantress Queen Hippolyta Shadowcat (my old one from dragoncon 2002. I thought it would be fun to wear it 10 years apart.)

when did dragoncon become comic con?

So I was up way too early this morning to join in on the "marriott landgrab" for Dragoncon 2011. When we first started going - for probably I'd say 2002-2005, we had no issues getting a room at the Marriott. There was no "room grab" day when the rooms went on sale - they just went on sale and people called throughout the year to book. There was no frenzy. It ...

More Dragoncon 2010 pics

More Supergirl pics: Magik: Updated Starfire, with DJSpider's Blackfire: Donna Troy: And awesome Wonder Woman group shot: And me and George Perez :) I had to tell him I kinda stalked him at cons back when I did my Cartoon Network Starfire and could NEVER find him! So it was awesome to finally get a pic with him in this.

A few Dragoncon 2010 pics!

Sorry I haven't posted lately. Been busy doing nothing! Except uploading pics, and cleaning the house, etc. Indy had another ear hematoma, like she did last year. Except in the other ear this time. Took her to the vet saturday and he drained it and she's on steriods now. Makes me sad because now both ears are going to be all crumpled up. I always loved to rub her ears, ...

agenda for next year

It's a little early but here's my agenda for next year, some of which I already touched on. 1. Only 4 new costumes, can only bring at most 10 all together. 2. At least 2 most have comfy shoes. 3. Will go to artist alley/art show, and spend more time hanging around and people watching. 4. No photoshoots. 5. Carry my own camera and take pics when I want - not just crappy camera phone pics. Also, ...

a few thoughts about dragoncon pics on flickr

from surfing flickr. 1. photos of some random fetish chick in spandex taken in your basement should not be tagged "dragoncon", because they aren't. 2. photos of fish at the aquarium should not be tagged "dragoncon", because they aren't. 3. editing is awesome. i know its cool you got pics of your fav celebrity but do we really need to see 300+ pics of him talking at a panel? They're pretty much all exactly ...

Dcon 2010 costume wrap up

I had a lot of fun at all the photoshoots this year, they were awesome, well organized and fun. However next year I'm not committing myself to ANY photoshoots. I spent all day sunday between the Teen Titans and DC shoots. From 9AM when I got up to when I left DC a little after 4PM. Saturday was the parade/SOSI shoot/Marvel, so that was from 8AM to after 5. ...

Dragoncon 2010 Recap (sorta)

We're home! I tried to post a couple of times from the con but just didn't have enough down time. So here's a recap. This isn't going to be that interesting - we didn't really "do" much outside of changing costumes LOL. Wednesday: Ash and I went and picked up the van, Chase got home, we loaded it up and hit the road. Got to Nashville and went to Five ...

almost there…

Last night, I dreamt about arriving at dragoncon. It was basically just us moving the van and parking the van and trying to figure out if we could check into the hotel or not. That totally stems from us not having any kind of plan for tomorrow. Them moving pre-reg pick-up up to 10 really threw us off. We'll probably be getting in around noon - but were fairly certain we ...

whee… c5 and a video

got home from work today and felt like crap. Felt like I had a migraine coming on, so I took some medicine and laid down. Ate dinner, then rode my bike for about 15 minutes. I feel better - still really tired, but my head feels ok. I'm hoping it stays that way, I really don't want a migraine this weekend. And now I'm re-living my C4 experience with the coming ...
