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.

    Dragoncon Stories: That Time I Won

    So far all of my Dragoncon 2003 stories sound a whole lot like whining. I promise you that isn’t true. All of these stories make me laugh, then and now. But just to balance out some of the whining-type stories, here’s a less complain-y one. Dragoncon 2002, Ash and I had missed out on Evening at Bree. We had wanted…

    Dragoncon Stories: That Time My Wings Messed Stuff Up

    I actually talked about this pretty recently in my blog, but here’s the whole story in its entirety. So, I’d been wearing Belldandy to every single convention that year, including shipping those wings to Dallas, Anaheim, and now Atlanta. After the Star Wars costume contest that saturday at Dragoncon, I rushed back to our hotel room – mostly to get…

    FAQ Friday: First Time DragonCon

    Today’s question is… I’m going to DragonCon for the first time this year! What do I need to know?? I actually answered this over here but it turned into more of a generic DragonCon tips rather than specifically for newbies, so here’s some thoughts geared more towards that! 1. Start Planning Early If you decide to go to DragonCon in…

    DRAGONCON COMETH

    Now Momocon is out of the way I get to dig into Dragoncon stuff. On our way out of Atlanta, we stopped by Gail K Fabrics, and I found some fabric I’m happy with for Peggy Carter. I’m beyond myself excited to tackle Peggy and Anne Boleyn – so I’ll be jumping on those, first. I’ve really got to figure…

    Dragoncon 2014 Song

    Every year I end up picking out a song that is my “dragoncon song” for the year. A song gets to be a “dragoncon song” by either being something I’ve played a lot over the summer while working on costumes, or just because it makes me think of dragoncon. I thought I’d put together a playlist of my dragoncon songs.…

    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…

    2 weeks!

    Last night I spent most of my time digging through closets looking for costume pieces. Where-ever my Lady Blackhawk belt was, it wasn’t labeled, so I just had to look in every costume box to figure out where it was. (I finally found it in my Ms Marvel box.) I also pulled out everything else I needed for this year,…

    Do what

    One of the questions I get a lot from random people is how do I wear so many costumes at Dragoncon? (On average, I usually wear around 12 costumes at Dragoncon.) Let’s say an “average” non-costumer is at Dragoncon for the same amount of time as we are (4 1/2 days). Each day they wear a different change of clothes.…

    Dragoncon Dreams

    So last night I dreamt that I was at Dragoncon with my Donna wedding dress still in the state it currently is. I was freaking out because it wasn’t finished, particularly because I didn’t have a veil. So I’m in the hotel room, trying to hot glue scraps of chiffon together to make a veil (for some reason I had…

    So, I have my Dragoncon costume schedule pretty much finalized. Not sure I’m going to do that fourth one I mentioned; just depends on time and money. But, here’s what we stand on them: 1.
