Holy Crap!!!....
...............
...........

..........................
Where do you even begin to talk about what happened this weekend? O.O
I don't want to say that this weekend was better than Celebrations IV..... but it was.... It is easier better than any anime convention I have ever been too.... it is the difference of eating Chef Boyardi and getting a three star Italian chef from Naples. It is quite literally the most amazing con I have ever been to. The best costumes. The best guests. The best people. Zero drama (at least in my land). I have seen the mountain Beavis.... and it is good. :p

I have so many pictures, over a thousand. I really do not know where to begin. So many people to thank for making it an awesome weekend.... I'll get to that soon... So why not a video of a song they were playing on Dragon*con TV and a few sampler pictures. I need to go write down things before I forget them. Expect lots of pictures this coming week.

Dragon*con!!! It promises not to be a trap!!

The best attended Rebel photoshoot yet.

When you yell out "OMG, IT'S KIRK FIGHTING THE MUGATO FROM THE SECOND SEASON EPISODE A PRIVATE LITTLE WAR" you enhance your nerd credit.

V: The Final Battle..... THE BEST DAMN SCI-FI SHOW IN THE EARLY 80's!!!

These guys got nasty when they found out I had not seen Donnie Darko yet. ;p

Lilly and Servius.... his true love for her is the only think that kept Harry alive years later. Cloakedschemer as Lilly.

You know there was something between Harry and Malfoy.... it was all in the subtext.

uchihasakura87 and me as Jaina Solo and a Rebel Fleet Trooper

You have to drink when you are an Imperial Admiral.... and I did my share on Friday... though I think I know where my hat is. ;p

Rainbowbrite all grown up. ;p

pamelanekoand Limebarb

Even these Spartans have a spirit limit.

giant_alucard,

punmasta, and friend.

The best use of a dark Jedi... giving their lives for their admiral... Me and my friend NES

Ocho! Why do you call him Ocho? Because five and three makes eight!! Loved Herbie and the Love Bug series.

umister and Mimichii as Elite Beat Divas Foxx and Missy

Gestapo agent Toht with the Staff of Ra burned into his hand.

It is not so bad to dine in Hell.

Raccoon City is safe. Warren and

lenina

All Xerses wants is for you to kneel... ;p

giant_alucardand Dagaru

Lots more to come soon!!!

Ahhh!!! "V"isitors (my fave show of the 80's)! Spartans! Awesome! I LOVE your pix, and it's great to know you had fun! :-D

This is the one... this is the con you want to go to. Best all around con there is. It is easy to fly in, easy to get to the hotel, all around easy... and it IS more adult than any other con I have been to. A#1!!

Re: ;_;

Heh.... I have the them, but I haven't even read the last two books. As for Snape's feelings of hate and love intermingled, I figured that out from the second book. I had a teacher that way with me in high school that I found out later it was over my mother. It was the only answer.

As for Malfoy and Harry.... everyone that has seen them together knows this too. ;p

You would love Dragon*con like no tomorrow.

Hey, Bob, it was great to meet you. Remember when you and your group almost swept me off to some room party in the Marriott and I evaded you? I think that was a mistake.

So much wonderful cosplay! Totally jealous of everyone who went to Dragon*Con, but I kind of have to face the fact that I won't have an awesome time like you guys until I get older, haha.

But seriously, I can't wait for more pictures, and I'm so happy to see somebody finally do Elite Beat Diva cosplay and done so well! ~~They totally beat me to it, grumble.~~ Heh. :P

Can't wait for the future posts!

Just 4 short years Amanda... well, at least you won't have to worry about getting arrested. ;p Not that they were looking. You should be able to go next year without trouble if you are interested. It is definitely worth it!!!

It must have been an amazing con if you think it topped CIV since I know you had a lot of fun there. Can't wait for more pictures. :)

(Reply) (Thread)

bobbarker at 2007-09-04 14:15 (UTC) (Link)

I loved CIV... because I was with awesome people and I love Star Wars. But it was JUST Star Wars and the Star Wars message was controlled and crafted by Lucasfilm. Not with D*C. It was an broad based adult con... with adult things going on. And that video of Chewbacca wipeing himself with the Ewok would have been shown at CIV. ;p
