Dragoncon 2008 Costume wrapup
1. Giselle I was really pleased with the updates to Giselle. An hour’s worth of work turned it from a costume I really didn’t care about to something I was really happy with. I actually wish I’d tossed it on on Monday at the con as well. I might wear it sometime at Halloween if it’s not too cold out.…

Dragoncon 2008 – sunday!
Sunday we slept in, then I put on Poison Ivy (I wanted to rewear Zatanna, but my feet said “NO!”) and Chase and I went and had a little lunch. Then Chase remembered he was supposed to go to the clonetroopers.net lunch LOL. So he went to that, and I met up with Ash and we went shopping for a…

Dragoncon 2008 – saturday!

Dragoncon 2008 – thurs and friday!
Hey guys… sorry I haven’t posted in a few days!! Dragoncon was a blast, as always. I managed to come home with a nasty head cold so I’ve been kinda in-and-out of it since then. I finished uploading our photos today, though – had over 1000, almost filled up the memory card, LOL. I think I’ll break up my posts…

More Adventurecon 2008 Pics
Ok, here’s the rest of the adcon pics! Friday was a looooooooong drive. Even though we left earlier than we planned, it stormed really hard during the drive, and then we were stuck in standstill traffic for at least an hour about halfway there. We finally got there around 8 that night, got checked and our stuff up to the…

MidSouthCon 2008 pics
Friday night – like I said we didn’t go to the con that night, we stayed home and watched the game. Anyway, Saturday morning we got up pretty early, I put on Belle, we loaded up the car, got some breakfast and headed over to the con. Unfortunately it rained and stormed all day long, so it wasn’t fun going…

Con Nooga 2008 Pics
Ok, sorry it’s taken me so long to get to this. We’ve just been so busy! We didn’t take many – we were very lazy about pics. I was not in a good mood because I went to put my green Belle dress on saturday morning- and the sleeves looked horrible. That’s what I get for waiting last minute, I…

Adventurecon 2007 Pics!
I’ll start with Friday 🙂 Indy wanted to go! We loaded up (again, after getting permission to borrow my aunt’s car!) and set off. We made pretty good time, got in around 9:30, I think? Checked in, found everybody, then unloaded the car and hit the sack, because we were really tired after the drive! Saturday morning we got up…

Adventurecon 2007 schedule
We don’t know what time we’re getting there friday night – we’re hoping chase can get a halfday off work so we can leave memphis by noon or one. If we do that, then i’ll be able to have time to go to the con that night — if not, we won’t be able to leave memphis until like, 6…

MTAC 2007 Pics!
So MTAC was pretty much ok. Like I said in my previous post, I wore Belle, then Utena — I need to fix the waistband on Belle, as I said last post. Also, it was too darn cold to wear the shoes I brought to wear with this!! LOL I opted for my tennis shoes instead! Link is ambushed by…

Hello from MTAC 2007!
Relaxing in the room here at MTAC for a moment. So far it’s been pretty good. My only complaint about the con itself was finding out “no weapons allowed” just as we got to the door of the dealer’s room – after standing in line for 30 minutes to get there. They said I could check my sword (my fragile…

MidsouthCon 2007 pics!
Friday, I did indeed wear Arwen, and got a few new pics. I went without the wig most of the time, only put it on for the pictures. I wore Susan first thing Saturday morning – it was quite interesting having to drive the 45 minutes to the con hotel while wearing this (I didn’t wear the wig while I…

Costume & Convention Plans
Weekend after next is St Patrick’s Day; we’re planning on going to Atlanta again for their big parade, with the 501st/RL. I’m – hopefully – wearing Queen Amidala, the parade dress. After the mixup last year I’m a little skittish about things falling through again. On top of that, a bunch of our local members have decided not to go.…

The Time my Granddad Went to an Anime Convention
When I went to Katsucon 2003 (my first year there), my grandparents went with me. Obviously my grandparents know nothing about anime, and I thought they might go sight-see or something on saturday, but they didn’t – they just kinda hung out, and, I think, had a relatively good time. Well, saturday afternoon rolls around, and I ask my granddad…

when the marriott kept pulling stunts
Even more fun with the marriott in san diego! Yesterday I discovered an additional $80 charge from the Marriott Gaslamp in San Diego on my debit card. This was charged on saturday, almost a week after I had checked out. We called today to see what the charge was for. I knew there was no damage to the room, we…

Well kids
Well folks – that’s it for San Diego. This year was no exception, and I’m tired of the stress involved with traveling out there. So that’s it, this was more than likely my last Comic Con. Besides the snafu with the hotel (which was the MARRIOTT GASLAMP for those wondering. I did get a call from the asst. manager after…
