Dreams
Over the weekend, I had a weird mash-up dream where we were at Disney World and then at Dragon Con but neither place was the ACTUAL place. (Most of my Dragon Con dreams take place in places that are not the Dragon Con hotels. But in my head it’s Dragon Con. It’s often strange hotels/convention centers/mall mash-ups I’ve never been…

Dragoncon 2014 Song
Every year I end up picking out a song that is my “dragoncon song” for the year. A song gets to be a “dragoncon song” by either being something I’ve played a lot over the summer while working on costumes, or just because it makes me think of dragoncon. I thought I’d put together a playlist of my dragoncon songs.…

Um, no
Several several years ago, our local newspaper posted an article about one of our local cons. I found it by happenstance, just from googling around afterwards looking for pics. Well, they had used an AP photo from San Diego Comic Con for the article. That was the only image for the whole article. And I’m like, as long as this…

Flying & Conventions
Let’s break it down. In 2002, I flew to 3 conventions. 2003, I flew to 4. 2004, I flew to 4 again. In 2005, 4 again. In 2006? I flew to 2 events. 2007? 0. 2008? 0. 2009, 2010, and 2011 each had 1 convention we flew to. 2012 was 0. 2013 was 1. So what happened? Well besides life…

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…

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…

C4 all over again
We couldn’t go to Celebration 4 because of the wedding – we just couldn’t afford it AND a wedding in the same year. Hearing people talking about it, and people constantly asking if we were going just made me so sad that year, because I really wanted to be there! I was so disappointed we couldn’t go. And now the…

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…

Upcoming Schedule
I thought I’d mention my upcoming costuming schedule. October 20-21 is the Nashville Comic/Horror Fest. They call it Horror Fest still, and I don’t know why – there really is nothing “horror” about it. It’s basically a comic show at the fairgrounds, with a few local artists, and last year – Thong Girl! Saturday night once it closes down, we…

Revenge of the Sith Event Pics! And Plans
Jupiter isn’t going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it’s about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven’t bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn’t be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there’s no time to worry with Jupiter. 🙁 Oh well – I’ll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking…

Amidala Shoes, Parasol, Progress & Plans
I’ve actually been working on stuff! Yay, me. I finally got the serger correctly threaded to do the rolled edges for the petals, and have since made about 30 petals… and it was SO FAST!! *_* It would have taken me Iforever/I to do it on the regular sewing machine. I think I’m in love, haha. I painted my shoes…

Lots of updates and plans
I haven’t updated in a month! Good grief. Costume updates: Qui-Gon: No progress whatsoever. Ha, ha. Padme: I bought some more stuff (see below), and finally got the serger threaded correctly for doing rolled edges as of yesterday… but otherwise, nothing! Mara: I bought my fabric, shinguards, and goggles. I’m still trying to decide whether or not I want to…

I got mine and my father’s plane tickets for Celebration III – now I just need to get Ash’s. I registered for Akon. Next year… I was thinking of going to Numa Rei No Con in february, but I’m thinking that might put the squeeze on the finances. I may or may not go, it’s going to depend on how…

Argh. I came over here to write something important, and now I’ve forgotten it. Must have not been too important. So I’ll do something else. Got my Katsucon prereg confirmation today. We’re flying out Thursday night (the 12th), layover in Atlanta, arriving in Washington just after midnight. Yuck. Leaving kinda early that Sunday morning, so I won’t be doing any…
