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.

Thursday of DragonCon: Badge Line Pic (or what you were doing on Thursday if not at DragonCon yet) (I don’t know if I’ll be able to update my site while there, so this may just be a placeholder til I get back.) (edit: now that it’s post dragoncon I’m leaving all of my other daily gifs up, because they’re pretty…

Final Dragoncon Line-up
Last schedule thoughts: Friday I will definitely be at the Vintage Vogue Fashion Show, so I’ll be over at the Hilton from 12:30-2:30. If I can manage I’ll try to wear Anne a little longer than that, otherwise I’ll probably be in her again Sunday. Saturday I’ll be at the USO Girls/WWII shoot at 12:30 as Peggy, and later that…

3 Days To Go: Something you recommend everyone pack
3 Days To Go: Something you recommend everyone pack 1. Medicine Not just Dragoncon but every single trip I go on, I take a medicine bag of anything we may possibly need. Besides personal prescriptions, I always take pain relief (multiple kinds – aspirin and ibuprofen), Benadryl (also personally helps me sleep), Sudafed, Sudafed Sinus Headache, stomach meds, plus things…

4 Days To Go: Something you are really excited about this year
4 Days To Go: Something you are really excited about this year This year? I’m excited about several of the guests, especially Terry Gilliam! Don’t know if I’ll go meet him or not but I live vicariously through Cath’s guest trans experience so I’ll get to hear some stories I’m sure. I’m excited that Joel, Trace and Frank will be…

5 Days To Go: One of your best memories from DragonCon
5 Days To Go: One of your best memories from DragonCon I have a lot. Meeting Chase. Partying with the girls. Our skit in 2005. Costuming with my mom. But I’ve talked about all those things recently, so in the effort to not repeat myself too much, here’s a more recent fun story. In 2010, I think it was? Stan…

6 Days To Go: The guest you were most excited about from a previous year
6 Days To Go: The guest you were most excited about from a previous year As I mentioned before I don’t get all that excited over guests — well, let me rephrase. I get really excited over guests, then do absolutely nothing about it at the con. Some guests I’ve been excited about in the past and actually made an…

7 Days To Go: The coolest thing you ever bought at DragonCon
7 Days To Go: The coolest thing you ever bought at DragonCon Hmm. Over the years we’ve gotten to where we really don’t buy much anymore. We did get this Kingdom Come Wonder Woman statue I’ve always wanted a couple of years ago, now displayed next to my helmet: And, I don’t have a photo of them, but you know…

Dragoncon Meme Day 2
8 Days To Go: A pic of you at your most recent DragonCon and what you remember most from that year Hmmmm a story from last year, hmmmmmm. Oh, I know. I was wearing Donna Runaway Bride, and Chase and I had gone over to the Hilton for something, and were about to head back to the Marriott. As we…

Dragoncon meme
Yes another one. Because sitting at work freaking out over how much work I have to do at home means I need something to distract me. This meme came from darkfirewolfe! 9 Days To Go: A pic of your first DragonCon and what you remember most from that year 8 Days To Go: A pic of you at your most…

A sort-of schedule
So, here is an attempt at a Dragoncon Schedule. Wednesday: Evening – Johanna, for a photoshoot. I will not be wearing this “on the floor” that night. Hoping to go take some shots on the 10th floor (and the elevators before they get too crowded). If anybody else is already in and has a Hunger Games costume and wants to…

wut
I literally…. LITERALLY cannot wrap my brain around how people are so astounded that I take 12 costumes to Dragoncon. Like, I could probably squeeze in 3-4 more without ever feeling crowded. I mean, I can see the other side, I can see how other people only bring 1 costume or no costumes and spend the entire con standing in…

Things I Miss at DragonCon
Piggy-backing on yesterday’s post about changes at DragonCon, today I’d like to look back at some DragonCon things that I miss. 1. The Photo Gauntlet Last time I did the masquerade (2006) it was just contestants standing on a stage with photographers taking photos. I’m guessing that’s still the way they do it? It’s not nearly as exciting and memorable…

Dragoncon grumblings
In which am an old woman and want to complain about things. 1. No, I don’t like the new logo. It doesn’t say Dragoncon to me. The old logo looked like classic fantasy – a homey, nostalgic look that I think suited Dragoncon very well. I will continue to use the old one where I can. 2. I don’t like…

Dragoncon Stories: That One Time Ash Punched a Pregnant Lady
I seem to have less stories in later years, because a lot of the later years run together more. I don’t know why that is. We’re already onto Dragoncon 2006 stories now. This was my first year I wasn’t rooming with the girls – I was staying with my BOYFRIEND who I’d met at Dragoncon the year before 😉 I…

Dragoncon Stories: That Time David Carradine Fell Through a Wormhole
So, Ash and I did the masquerade again that year, and it was again over at the Congress Center or whatever it was called. So we got dressed, loaded up and went on over. We ended up sitting around in a hall backstage for quite a long time. There we are in the background entertaining ourselves: We got there so…

Dragoncon Stories: That Time I Made Poor Shoe Choices
Dragoncon 2004 parade – we decided to walk with the LOTR group! This worked out since I had Arwen I wanted to wear, the mums had their hobbit costumes, and Ash got talked into wearing a cape and accompanying me to handle my train. My Arwen costume was very long and very white, so to keep it from getting destroyed…

Dragoncon Stories: That Time My Math Teacher was There
OH. MY. GOD. Dragoncon 2003, still. The three of us were trying to figure out WHERE we could get Anne McCaffrey’s autograph, since Ash and I wanted it for our moms, who were big fans. We couldn’t figure out where or when she was signing, so after a bit of wandering around and digging through the guidebooks, we decided to…
