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 like band-aids and moleskin. While most of that over the counter stuff ...
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 there - I'm going to get them to sign Tom Servo, ...
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 Lee was a guest. I almost walked directly into him after the parade. ...
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 effort to meet them are Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy from ...
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 that one dealer who sells the vintage movie posters and art? ...
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 started heading that way we were passed by a ginormous Doctor ...
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 recent DragonCon and what you remember most from that year 7 Days To ...
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 join me, please do! Chase'll be taking photos. Thursday: No ...
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 line for panels and autographs and what have you. That's not my ...
