it’s almost time

It's dcon time. Well almost. Uuuuugh I still have to get through a day and a half of work. I just wanna GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO seeing everybody already on the road or already there is driving me crazy. I've got everything packed and ready to go, except the headdress since I'm still hand-sewing on it... I've got a space left for it in my duffel bag. I've got it down to: The 1 ...

Dragon Con Thoughts

So as I've mentioned I won't be there Thursday - we aren't coming in until Friday morning, we'll probably get into town around 1 and after getting to the room, getting our badges - probably won't be "done" and ready to actually do stuff til like 3 probably. At the moment, here's what I'm definitely bringing: The Pink Thing Mon Mothma TFA Leia Medieval Leia Bespin Leia Dolores Trillian Donna - Journey's ...

Ruffles

Today has been weird. Early this morning somebody in one of the offices in our building was WAILING... came out in the hallway just sobbing. Crying went on for several minutes. It was unsettling and got my hackles up. Obviously something awful happened. I brought a change of clothes with me to work - because I cannot get myself up early enough to dress like an actual functioning human being, ...

Dragoncon Thoughts

So yes, I'm doing DragonCon this year. A little more than last year but still not going up to the full week we used to do. Planning on driving in Friday morning and home Sunday night, staying in Cat's room. Ash is probably going with me, Chase is staying home. So at the moment I'm thinking of taking: Bespin Leia - still need to tweak it Mon Mothma TFA Blue ...

Dragon Con Photos Round One

We're back!!! Ok so I don't have much to share in the first post. But it's enough to recap Saturday at least. Friday I took off work, finished packing, cleaned the house, went for a swim: Tiniest Dragoncon load EVER. Saturday morning we loaded up the car and were on the road by 6 AM. We got into Atlanta right at 1, though it took us another 20-30 minutes to make it ...

Argh

When I'm stuck at work and everybody else is at Dragon Con Ugh! I've been totally OK with it up until today. Seeing everybody arriving and missing out... I thought Friday would be the tough day but no, it's today. I repleated my Tightrope Walker skirt last night. Went faster than I expected. I got my suitcase for Disney repacked last night. Holy crap is it heavy. But everything is ...

The Disney and the DragonCon

I haven't posted much lately... haven't had much of anything to post! Went to my grandma's for the weekend. Came back Saturday just to go to the Ren Faire with friends (I said I'd do it... I did it)... this time I wasn't messing around. No attempt at curls, just a ponytail. Much better. Threw my flower crown I got at Megacon on, too. Ash and I watched Paolo Garbanzo ...

Dragon Con 2002 Look Back

I know I've done similar before... and this won't be just a rehashing of my original "con report." A couple of weeks ago when I was looking at old Hermione photos for instagram, I was flipping through them and thinking, "oh yeah, that was the night before I left for the midnight show, I refused to wear makeup or a skirt, so I wore jeans and did nothing with my ...

Monday again

Happy Monday :P It was a busy, yet not busy weekend. Friday night I sewed on a skirt I've been planning to make for our next Disney trip - just now getting to it. Saturday morning I did an event at our local Bricks & Minifigs store for their 2nd anniverary, it was a lot of fun, they had a lot of kids there and Chase and I enjoyed looking ...

More Dragoncon stuff

Some more of the Leia pictures... There were so many great Star Wars costumes there this year... but it's been so long since I wore a Star Wars costume at a con that even while I was dressed as Leia I'd just walk right past them without thinking about it. Then later I'd be like.... I was dressed as Leia! I walked right by the awesome whatever! I should have ...
