Dragoncon 2009 rooms booked as of 11pm last night LOL. Apparently everyone started calling at 11/midnight Atlanta time - Chase said the woman on the phone said they were swamped with calls. We are headed to Nashville this weekend - Monday we are doing some promo stuff for the hockey game our garrison is doing in November - I guess like promo pics and video for the jumbotron. Chase *really* wanted ...
We spent the entire evening after work trying to finish everything up on Chase's clone... but we did manage to get out of the house before 11, so I was proud of that! LOL. We pulled up to TRU right after 11 and there were already a few people hanging around outside. The manager let us 501st folks in (we overheard a little boy who was there with his dad asking why ...
What a great event! I'm so glad we were able to go. Chase and I got up early Saturday morning and ran some errands and then hit the road to Huntsville around 10:30-ish. We've gotten so used to driving to Nashville for events - and the drive to Nashville is insanely boring. 3 hours of nothing but interstate. Huntsville was a much more interesting drive,it was actually a fun trip ...
Well first and foremost, I am cruising on my secret project. And having fun, it's ended up being pretty simple. I hope to have it done by this weekend, and to do a photoshoot then. Here's some more parade pics! All of these photos were taken by Dragon. And THIS was when we managed to get way, way behind the rest of the rebels. I can't figure out how that ...
Friday night, we managed to cram 4 people and 4 costumes into the car and hit the road to Jackson, where my grandparents live. Chase was going to go see a band with my cousin that night there in Jackson, so Ash, Kevin and I curled up in the living room and watched movies. We went to bed pretty early, since I wanted to try to be on the road by 7:30. I ...
Well first off - the hotel messed up the rooms, and the March of Dimes people came over and straightened out as best they could - we ended up with a big suite for all of us. It was pretty nice! I wish the Marriott had something like that for Dragoncon that wasn't like, you know, $5000 a night or something, because that would be so perfect for me, Chase and ...
Memphis ZooBoo was LAME compared to the Nashville zoo. We basically just wandered around, got free ice cream sandwiches. Chase got some attention, a handful of photos with kids, but I might as well have been wearing normal clothes (I was in Leia, since it turned out too cold and drizzly last night for WW or Belle) We had fun anyway, but we're not going to go back next year ...
This week has been very hectic at work, I just finally finished editing the photos from this weekend and got them uploaded today. So we drove up to Nashville Friday night, had an awesome dinner with friends. :) Saturday we got up, and I put on Belle, and Chase and I headed over to the fairgrounds for the Nashville Comic/Horror Fest. We were supposed to have a 501st table, but, ...
Big Scoop pics are up in my 2007 Trooping Gallery. I was so worn out after it, to the point we didn't even get to go see the Simpsons movie last night like we had planned. :( Here's one pic of Chase.
This weekend was an odd mix; not sure I enjoyed the trip, but all in all I'm glad I went, since the movie was good. We set out Friday as soon as Chase got home from work -- after several stops (gas, dinner, snacks, stretching legs, changing drivers, etc -- you'd think it was a 9 hour drive the way we kept stopping! It wasn't much more than Memphis-Nashville.), we finally ...
