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.

    SDCC 2004 pics from EBK!

    OK I finally updated the site from comic con. Some pics from Al: Lord of the BLING Middle Earth Cotillion Attack of primary colours!! Shadowcat vs. Al Something about the wig made me feel goofy, so I was pretty much always smiling in this costume, even though it was completely out of character. Anna in front of the Van Helsing…

    when we met carrie and dom

    Ok, two of the reasons yesterday ruled. Reason 1: I met Carrie Fisher and got her autograph. And of course, reason 2: We met Dom (and the whole cast of Lost)… I got to stand right in front of him and I got his autograph and then I called Cath and squealed for 20 minutes. Ok now I really have…

    I’m actually not too worn out from Akon!! HP3= liked it. I thought I’d fall asleep in it, but I didn’t! I did my 2 panels on friday, and they both went well. I wore all my costumes and even spent time OUT of costume. I actually ate well. I met some really cool people in the bar of the…

    I’m dead tired. I don’t know how I made it through the weekend. I fell asleep in the room 3 times by mistake. But it was fun! I was part of a great AMG group for the masq, and I met lots of cool people and it was great seeing friends from other cons again. Not enough really happened to…

    Katsucon 2003 Pics!

    I’m still recovering from katsucon. But I did update the cosplay site, with new costume junk and a con report! There weren’t many stories to tell, but you can read what I did those few days anyway. Belldandy came out much better than I expected. I was so frustrated over the wig I wondered if I would even wear the…

    when I posted our animazement 2002 recap

    THURSDAY Picked up Ash, rode to grandmother’s had dinner. Ride to Nashville was pretty uneventful. Got lost in Nashville. We passed the Clarion where mtac was last year – is it closed? Looked like it. If it is, good, because it had ugly wallpaper and mean employees and icky bathrooms. Got to hotel finally, went to sleep. FRIDAY Got up…

    MTAC TRIP REPORT!! Thursday We left Memphis around 4:30 in the afternoon, and didn’t make it to the hotel until around 10. We got lost!!! I’ve been spoiled by staying in nice hotels the last two times I’ve gone out of town. One of those was a really nice Clarion (Claritin) in Gatlinburg, and I was expecting similar with this…

    when i was mad at the mtac hotel

    Well, until I finish my report (can’t now, mom’s on the computer I started writing it on), I’ll just say a few things. I hate the Claritin (Clarion). MTAC staff & everybody at the con were friendly, nice and made the whole thing worth it. They rock. I still can’t believe I won a prize in the cosplay! What did…

I’ll have a write up for it soon. Unfortunately our camera is presumed lost right…
