    MidSouthCon

    I don’t have pics from Chase yet. He didn’t take a lot but I’ll post what I have on flickr later. For now all I have is this: Yesterday we both got off work a few minutes early, came home, and got into Hoth Leia. We headed to the con and got our badges, then ran back out and had…

    MidSouthCon 2010 Schedule!

    MidSouthCon starts tomorrow. It really snuck up on me and I’m not in a convention-frame of mind. I think it’s because it’s about 2 weeks earlier than usual this year! Anyway, here’s my schedule. Friday – 11:00 PM – Donning The Tights I had a panel friday at 5, but our regional manager is in town and I just can’t…

    C5, Photoshoots, Convention planning

    I know a lot of people are excited and I don’t want to bring anyone down! So you can just skip this segment if you don’t want to hear non-excited talk about C5 LOL. I am very disappointed that C5 is going to be 2 weeks before Dragoncon. Just about any other time of the year and we would have…

    GMX 2009 Pics

    GMX was this past weekend, it was fun! I really liked the hotel – we could stand outside our 3rd floor room and look over into the main part of the convention/people watch. And the employees were really nice 🙂 It was pretty laid back for us. Chase & Derek sat up a photo booth, I spent my time “helping”……

    Dragoncon 2009 Recap

    I figured I’d better go ahead and make a decent post about the weekend before I start to forget LOL Thursday morning we managed to get out of town on time, even after going to Starbucks! Yay. Check-in at the hotel was crowded, it gets more crowded every year, more people tend to come in early these days, I guess.…

    back home! a few dcon 09 pics

    We got back home around 2 this afternoon. Uneventful trip home 🙂 I’ll post a longer report later once I’ve had time to wrap my head around everything. Chase has promised to download the pics tomorrow so I’ll be able to start uploading hopefully tomorrow night. In the meantime, here’s a handful of pics from my Iphone from over the…

    hello from florida…

    …and I’m going home to snow. It hasn’t snowed in Memphis all year (except for a light dusting that lasted less than a day in Jan), and now that I’m leaving Florida, what does it do? 6 inches! Yuck! Anyway. Confession time: we hardly spent any time at the convention. Friday we left around the time we planned to go…

    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…

    Ok I’m going to stop talking so much about my costumes and what I want to change, since I’ll want to make a separate post about that later. But anyway – on to Saturday pics! Thank god for Ash! She came over to help us finish getting ready that morning – I was getting Starfire on for the very first…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…
