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.

A FAQ: How do you wear so many costumes?
Almost every year, when I post my Dragoncon planned costumes, I always get a few comments or questions regarding how I manage to wear so many costumes. Well I’m going to tell you my secret… at conventions, I really don’t do much of anything else but wear costumes. This right here is what we do most of the time at…

Dragoncon 2011 Parade Tilt-Shift
Chase took a tilt-shift time-lapse video of the parade again this year – it’s really fun to watch, and pick out the different characters. I’m at 4:48 (wearing Donna) in the Doctor Who group, walking next to Ashley in her TARDIS costume. I waved to him but it must have been while I was out of focus! (he also did…

Dragoncon 2011 Recap
I should have written this last week, at this point it’s already hard to remember everything! I’m not going to post a lot of my costume stuff in this particular entry; I’ll do that in the next one. So we left bright and early monday morning – on time, even! We went down through Alabama this year instead of through…

a retrospective of the marriott marquis
I like to take pics of our hotel room whenever we’re out of town, so i realised I’ve got a decent collection of pics of our Marriott room from almost every dragoncon. I noticed, when digging through my ’02 pics, how different the rooms looked back then. seriously… marriott room ’02? You look like a cheap motel room a hooker…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
