Tilt Shift video of the Dragoncon 2010 parade

I just deleted my livejournal. Anyway - post-dragoncon... I've updated my site with all the new stuff. Here's my flickr gallery - I still have more to add once Chase sends them to me. And here's our video of the parade. It's a time lapse tilt shift video, I think it's pretty neat. In other news, working on Briar Rose for Halloween. :)

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 called throughout the year to book. There was no frenzy. It ...

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 all crumpled up. I always loved to rub her ears, ...

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 see 300+ pics of him talking at a panel? They're pretty much all exactly ...

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 hit the road. Got to Nashville and went to Five ...

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 weekend. And now I'm re-living my C4 experience with the coming ...

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 the previous year's con. (ie, at the convention last year we ...

Dragoncon 2010 plans

I'm obsessing over our Dragoncon room situation at the moment (it appears we have 2 reservations at the Marriott Marquis. Neither of them have Thursday which is a pain in the ass, they're both Fri-Mon... and 1 reservation for another Marriott in downtown. THANKS crappy housing system. We're going to have to move from our friend's room in the Hyatt to our Marriott room mid-day on Friday. Frigging-A.) But since I'm obsessing ...
