convention recap
Below you’ll find my blog posts about various conventions we've attended over the years, including recaps and photos. This tag and the tag "convention reports" are pretty much interchangeable. I rarely type up a full report these days, so you're more likely to find convention or event photos tagged by just the convention name.

Lucky Number 13
This year was weird. The bad: -First and foremost, Ash wasn’t there. It just made the weekend feel off. -The crowds were really heavy. To the point I wasn’t comfortable rewearing Marie Antoinette or Anne Boleyn as the weekend wore on. And it’s not so much the amount of people – it’s the lack of crowd control. Dragoncon could easily…

A few more Momocon pics
Here’s a few more pictures that I didn’t have uploaded yet when I posted last. Kevin’s absolutely epic take on the classic “help I’m falling down the Marriott” photo: I loooooooooove these photos of my Belldandy Chase took. I TRIED to be good and wear sandals with Belldandy (I’ve gotten in trouble with hotels for not wearing shoes with it).…

Momocon Pics – Round 1
Here’s the pics from my camera and my phone, and a handful from Chase – haven’t gotten all of his uploaded yet. We had a fantastic time! It was definitely a different crowd than we’re used to at a convention, but Kevin was in Kevin Heaven. We were up before the sun on Friday and the trip in went really…

MidSouthCon!
Friday I ended up staying home from work with an awful migraine that was making me sick to my stomach – I don’t think the remnants of my head cold helped, either. Friday night I felt awful. So I was worried about Saturday! I had a friend’s baby shower to go to in the morning, and Chase’s birthday dinner that…

MCFC!
Been busy the past few days! But Saturday we headed over to MCFC for a few hours, and it was a lot of fun. I wore Batgirl. Although since I’d curled my hair AND it was warmer out than I’d thought it would be (thus I was quite toasty) I never wore the cowl at the con, just carried it.…

GMX 2013
Well it’s a week later, I guess I should finally post about GMX, huh? We drove up after work on Friday! We got in later than we expected but we got into the room fast, and I threw on Trillian and we hung out downstairs, and went to the Favor panel! Kevin in the Falcon cockpit! Kevin was doing the…

Dragoncon Costumes: Everything Else
Thoughts & Pics on all the “old” stuff I wore this year… 1. Belle I wore Belle Friday morning for a while. Had wanted to wear it again but didn’t get a chance. (Well, that’s a lie, there were chances… I just didn’t have the energy for it!) I love how it looks with my Marie Antoinette hoops, and really…

Dragoncon 2013!
Well I’ve been home from Dragoncon for a few days but haven’t posted a thing here – sorry! It was a good year. Even though I felt like i was a day ahead the whole time (Thursday felt like Friday, Friday felt like Saturday) by the end of it, it felt like it had rushed by way too fast. I…

c2e2 pics – part 2!
I got the photos from my camera uploaded last night! First up, here’s the finished Fionna costume. It was so comfortable and I can’t wait to wear it again at Dragoncon. I didn’t get a lot of shots of it at C2E2 so I may have to do a photoshoot before then. The guy doing the chalk art all weekend…

Home from C2E2!
We had a good weekend in Chicago 🙂 But I’m glad to be home! I haven’t got my pictures downloaded yet, but I’ve got a handful of photos off my phone to share right now. I’ll post the rest in another entry later on! We left Thursday night, and we were on a TINY plane! Kevin and Chase were bumping…

GMX 2012 Recap
GMX was a lot of fun this year! We took Kevin, who wore his Harry Potter and Doctor Who costumes, and I took Wasp, Ms Marvel, Donna Noble, Marie Antoinette, and Anne Boleyn. We mostly hung out, shopped, Kevin played video games and Chase took photos. It was a nice lowkey weekend 🙂 Here’s some of my fav pics. Kevin’s…

Timegate 2012
Ok, so finally got my Timegate pictures uploaded last night! So here’s a quick recap of the weekend. We left Friday around 1, and got into Atlanta around 9. We got checked in and decided to go eat dinner, went to Cheesecake Factory (a treat since we don’t have one in Memphis). Saturday we got up and I put on…

GMX 2011 Pics
Here’s a handful of pics from GMX – didn’t take a lot. Me as Donna and Kevin as 11 in front of the TARDIS: A cool weeping angel, and the MST3k bots! We broke K-9 out for about a half hour on Sunday before we left. I didn’t wear Wonder Woman and didn’t get any pics of Rose. I’ll wear…

Dragoncon 2011 Recap
I should have written this last week, at this point it’s already hard to remember everything! I’m not going to post a lot of my costume stuff in this particular entry; I’ll do that in the next one. So we left bright and early monday morning – on time, even! We went down through Alabama this year instead of through…

a few more MidSouthCon 2011 pics
Here’s some pics I found from friends from this past weekend. (pic by Glenn) my hair looked great friday. too bad it didn’t stay that way. I was really surprised by how many people knew who I was supposed to be – better than at Anaheim or Dragoncon, even. (At dcon people kept asking if I was a steampunk person.)…

MidSouthCon 2011 wrap-up!
MidSouthCon kicked my butt! But it was a great weekend. Didn’t get a lot of pics. Most of the pics we took were Chase’s he took in his photo booth, so I can’t post those. But I’ll post what I have. Friday I’m glad I had the day off, because I ended up having a lot to finish up at…
