dragoncon
Below you’ll find my blog posts and photos about our trips to the convention Dragoncon in Atlanta, GA. We have attended this event from 2002 to 2014. This particular tag is just a mish-mash of various Dragoncon related posts; each year has its own tag (dragoncon2014, dragoncon2013, and so on) so there are probably more posts there.

The Disney and the DragonCon
I haven’t posted much lately… haven’t had much of anything to post! Went to my grandma’s for the weekend. Came back Saturday just to go to the Ren Faire with friends (I said I’d do it… I did it)… this time I wasn’t messing around. No attempt at curls, just a ponytail. Much better. Threw my flower crown I got…

Ren Faire, boredom, and packing
I’ve never had free time in August. It’s so weird. I was actually bored this weekend because I had no costumes to work on. And we had time to go to the Ren Faire Saturday! Unfortunately we totally picked the wrong day today. We were torn between Sat and Sun based on the weather, but Sat ended up working better…

Dragon Con 2002 Look Back
I know I’ve done similar before… and this won’t be just a rehashing of my original “con report.” A couple of weeks ago when I was looking at old Hermione photos for instagram, I was flipping through them and thinking, “oh yeah, that was the night before I left for the midnight show, I refused to wear makeup or a…

More Dragoncon stuff
Some more of the Leia pictures… There were so many great Star Wars costumes there this year… but it’s been so long since I wore a Star Wars costume at a con that even while I was dressed as Leia I’d just walk right past them without thinking about it. Then later I’d be like…. I was dressed as Leia!…

Moaaaaaaar pics
Slowly getting Chase’s pics uploaded. Here’s a couple of Peggy from thursday: I tell you, taking those shoulder pads out made a huge difference. My neck doesn’t look so short now. Chase & I found an abandoned nook of the Hilton Saturday morning for the Doctor Who photoshoot and got some Donna photos… And then I MET A DOG DRESSED…

Dragoncon 2015: Costume recap
In (sort-of) order of wearing! 1. Peggy Carter I did some updates to Peggy – I took it up a bit through the waist and removed the shoulder pads, and fixed up the wig. It made a HUGE difference! The jacket fit much better and the wig looked way better, too. I just wish I could have had time to…

Dragon Con
We’re back! Time to recap… Wednesday We got up bright and early and were actually on the road at the time we wanted to be. I played a lot of tsumtsum (it’s been a while since I played). Once we got to Atlanta we got lunch (Takorea), then went and checked in and unloaded. And then off to ikea! Yay!…

You can find me at: The Vintage Vogue Fashion Show – Friday @ 1pm (Hyatt) The Post-Parade Doctor Who Photoshoot – Saturday @ 10:30am (Hilton Steps) Marvel Superhero Photoshoot – Sunday @ 3pm (Hilton Steps) The last two are dependent on the weather — if it’s raining it’s no go for me. I still don’t know when…

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 pictures I stole from other people
I’m a nasty little thief, stealing pictures from other people. I love this shot of my Peggy with the USO Girls from Kaydee: Although it makes me think my jacket is a little big? I need to adjust the belt up higher and it’s already wrinkling at that lower point. Hm. Anne onstage, from Sean Peck: Two gorgeous shots of…

5 Days After: The costume you most squeed over from this year
5 Days After: The costume you most squeed over from this year The Olafs, Dreamcatcher and Figment, Mean Girls, Celebrity Jeopardy… off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more I’m not thinking of. And I’m being lazy and not posting pics. *falls back asleep*

4 Days After: Somewhere you liked to eat while at DragonCon
4 Days After: Somewhere you liked to eat while at DragonCon Vortex! I love going here, good food. (I thought I had a picture of Kevin eating here at Momocon but i can’t find it.) We also like Max Lager’s. This year those were the only two major places we ate – we brought a mini fridge with us and…

3 Days After: Your favorite guest from this year This year I got Joel, Frank and Trace’s autographs on Tom Servo, so they’ll be my pick of course. And Trace drew Crow which made my Crow-fangirl self super happy.

2 Days After: Something that helps you recover from DragonCon or from post-con depression
2 Days After: Something that helps you recover from DragonCon or from post-con depression Snuggling up on the couch, eating junk food, watching movies and just chilling. Something I usually haven’t been able to do for a few months without feeling guilty I’m not working on costumes. Also, looking at photos!

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…
