Dragon*Con tales 2012

[AmethystSquirrel]

I'm just happy I didn't get into any altercations this year. Last year, I pissed off some drunk chick when I asked about her sparkly 'stache (as I thought there was a meme going on that I didn't get). Well, can't please everyone. *shrugs*

It was a relatively drama-free con for me except for the wife. I'm sorely tempted to get a room just for me and let the wife get her own as she was bugging the living daylights outta me all weekend long (it's possibly she was PMSing). She's seen me at cons; I'm a fucking social butterfly ... with ADHD ... and a camera. I go *everywhere* and take pics (w/ permission). It's what I do and it makes me happy.

This makes me sad. She should KNOW better!

-After walking Al back to his hotel one night, Sig, Moo, Mike said I could play in the sprinklers. I had fun dancing in the water on a hot evening.

-Also hearing about Moo and Mike being tentacle raped in an elevator by Ursula

-Little Mermaid in line at the Sushi bar.

-Asking a question in the Warehouse 13 panel and hearing the crowd erupt in cheers.

-Running around the Atlanta airport for two hours dressed as Pinkie Pie, looking for Sigpig, and getting kids cheering, gloming and taking pics. Even had a guy come up and say "I had a shitty flight and you made me smile."

I know there is more....

I had quite a few highlights. One of them was seeing Alice Cooper and James Randi...they seemed like two of the most pleasant people you'd like to know.

I got three autographs from the True Blood cast. I even shook Joe Maganiello's hand, and had a schoolgirl moment of "I'll never wash this hand again".

Tom and Jen's wedding was very, very sweet. It also helped that my hubby officiated the ceremony.

Meeting you folks again was also a lot of fun, especially Thursday night at the Marriott.

Seeing Katie Sackoff in the ladie's room was cool, in a disturbing sort of way. No, I didn't take any pictures. She was merely washing her hands.

The Grant Imahara panel was funny and smart. I had no idea he dressed as C3P0 at some point in his career. I also saw him wandering the Hilton with an attractive blond gal.

There's just too much coolness that happened this year. I could go on and on. I really hope everyone had a great time.

Oh, you are downplaying the event!! There were more raunchy things going on in the hallway than up on STAGE!!! I swear one guy had his kilt nearing his EARS!!

[Dominic]

Gotta say, one of the big highlights was the men in kilts who went to entertain the ladies stuck in the waiting area in the hall. There were, at it's peak, about seventy people waiting in line to get into the "blowing" area, and you boys did your best to make sure that nobody missed out even if they couldn't get to the main event.

Also:
Jennie B, when asked how my makeup looked:

"No, your makeup is good, but you need a barrier spray or something, or it'll rub off. Your seams look good, I love the armour, your tusks are gre- aaaaand, you're drooling."

[Ellain]

I was pretty excited to meet Felicia Day and Jewel Staite! I just wish I had been able to meet more forum people.

[Dasota]

I got Barrowman and Kai Owen to squeak my boobs at the Walk of Fame. Definitely a highlight of Con.

A moment from the kilt blowing you may have missed: We were standing in the overflow line waiting to get in when a bunch of the guys came out to, uh, entertain us. Well, one of the guys managed to slip off his undies without flashing the line, and tossed them to my fiance, and the crowd went wild. The hilarious part was when he came back a few minutes later and was kind of embarassed about asking, "Excuse me, can I please have my underwear back?"

[Crazeyal]

Wear you stuffing the suit? I don't remember your back being so broad. Or is it just that the others in the kitchen were so wee?

little bit O both, with a third thrown in. The coat has padding in the sholders, my co-stars were Leprecons, and building a farm by yourself does a body good!

[Crazeyal]

Yeah, I had left the door to escort someone and saw the whole party just rush the line. I was about to pounce on them and everyone at the door went DON'T GO THERE!! :rolfl:

[Dominic]

Had a great time being back, folks. I gave Obbie and Jennie their wedding presents (Made obby PRETTY!), but kilt-blowing had my greatest tale. I got told off by none other than Laurel K. Hamilton.

I was working as door monkey, and the place was packed. We had people waiting in line since atleast ten, which was when I got there. There were a good fifty people that I could see at the double doors, waiting for people to leave so they could get in when up struts this little redhead and a likewise perkily-dressed pack. I'm nearly run over, and I give the whole "sorry folks, fire marshal has said we're at the limit" without really looking at who I'm talking to. And the response I get is "Well, then YOU go tell Jennie why I didn't show up. Yeah, our favourite smut author was nearly turned away by yours truly. Needless to say, she went in and some other folks came out.

Moral of the story: We need a bigger room so Dom doesn't have to try and stop tiny red-haired authors. Ya hearin me DragonCon?
