    a retrospective of the marriott marquis

    I like to take pics of our hotel room whenever we’re out of town, so i realised I’ve got a decent collection of pics of our Marriott room from almost every dragoncon. I noticed, when digging through my ’02 pics, how different the rooms looked back then. seriously… marriott room ’02? You look like a cheap motel room a hooker…

    when did dragoncon become comic con?

    So I was up way too early this morning to join in on the “marriott landgrab” for Dragoncon 2011. When we first started going – for probably I’d say 2002-2005, we had no issues getting a room at the Marriott. There was no “room grab” day when the rooms went on sale – they just went on sale and people…

    A few Dragoncon 2010 pics!

    Sorry I haven’t posted lately. Been busy doing nothing! Except uploading pics, and cleaning the house, etc. Indy had another ear hematoma, like she did last year. Except in the other ear this time. Took her to the vet saturday and he drained it and she’s on steriods now. Makes me sad because now both ears are going to be…

    agenda for next year

    It’s a little early but here’s my agenda for next year, some of which I already touched on. 1. Only 4 new costumes, can only bring at most 10 all together. 2. At least 2 most have comfy shoes. 3. Will go to artist alley/art show, and spend more time hanging around and people watching. 4. No photoshoots. 5. Carry…

    a few thoughts about dragoncon pics on flickr

    from surfing flickr. 1. photos of some random fetish chick in spandex taken in your basement should not be tagged “dragoncon”, because they aren’t. 2. photos of fish at the aquarium should not be tagged “dragoncon”, because they aren’t. 3. editing is awesome. i know its cool you got pics of your fav celebrity but do we really need to…

    Dcon 2010 costume wrap up

    I had a lot of fun at all the photoshoots this year, they were awesome, well organized and fun. However next year I’m not committing myself to ANY photoshoots. I spent all day sunday between the Teen Titans and DC shoots. From 9AM when I got up to when I left DC a little after 4PM. Saturday was the parade/SOSI…

    Dragoncon 2010 Recap (sorta)

    We’re home! I tried to post a couple of times from the con but just didn’t have enough down time. So here’s a recap. This isn’t going to be that interesting – we didn’t really “do” much outside of changing costumes LOL. Wednesday: Ash and I went and picked up the van, Chase got home, we loaded it up and…

    almost there…

    Last night, I dreamt about arriving at dragoncon. It was basically just us moving the van and parking the van and trying to figure out if we could check into the hotel or not. That totally stems from us not having any kind of plan for tomorrow. Them moving pre-reg pick-up up to 10 really threw us off. We’ll probably…

    whee… c5 and a video

    got home from work today and felt like crap. Felt like I had a migraine coming on, so I took some medicine and laid down. Ate dinner, then rode my bike for about 15 minutes. I feel better – still really tired, but my head feels ok. I’m hoping it stays that way, I really don’t want a migraine this…

    my mind is in dragoncon mode

    I’m sorry to folks out there who really aren’t interested in dragoncon but my mind has officially kicked over into that mode, so expect to hear pretty much nothing else for the next 3 months (before & after LOL) We finally bought our tickets today. We say EVERY YEAR that we’re going to buy our tickets for next year at…

    Dragoncon photoshoots & Schedule

But here’s where I’ll specifically be: Friday: Ladies of Gotham (in Black Canary) – 6pm Saturday: Parade…

    heart attack

    or, “Hard Attack” as my cousin once wrote. Woke up this morning and found an email from the Atlanta Marriott Marquis confirming our reservations for Dragoncon – again. I didnt’t know why, I already had a confirmation email from them. I clicked on it and quickly realised the difference – it was confirming Thursday-Monday instead of Thursday-Tuesday. I dug up…

    costume catch up

    So I posted my Dragoncon list the other day but didn’t really go over it. I thought I’d post it again and update each. 1. Lady Gaga I’ve got the top basically made. I’ve got the organza cut to cover it, but haven’t put it on yet – I’m worried I might run out since I’m using the same organza…

    Dcon 2010 Costume Schedule

    I changed up my list a little bit… here’s the updated list… You know I know a lot of people have mixed feelings on when people do “secret” costumes. Some people don’t like it, some do, etc. I think some people view it as a a “na na I don’t want anyone copying me” thing. Which for me, it’s not.…
