This year was weird. The bad: -First and foremost, Ash wasn't there. It just made the weekend feel off. -The crowds were really heavy. To the point I wasn't comfortable rewearing Marie Antoinette or Anne Boleyn as the weekend wore on. And it's not so much the amount of people - it's the lack of crowd control. Dragoncon could easily accommodate its current numbers with some more crowd control and ...

(edit: now that it's post dragoncon I'm leaving all of my other daily gifs up, because they're pretty accurate - but this one wasn't, because badge pick-up took ...
Last schedule thoughts: Friday I will definitely be at the Vintage Vogue Fashion Show, so I'll be over at the Hilton from 12:30-2:30. If I can manage I'll try to wear Anne a little longer than that, otherwise I'll probably be in her again Sunday. Saturday I'll be at the USO Girls/WWII shoot at 12:30 as Peggy, and later that night (8-ish) I'll be in Shadowcat with an 80s X-Men ...

Anyway, ...
