Dragon*Con tales 2012

[Silverharp]

Why am I starting this early?
Because getting there can be half the fun!

At the Portland airport, I have to go through the scanner twice and then got patted down.
First time around, the TSA agent told me that it was my kilt, just kike it up a bit and I'll be fine, so I did.
I go through again, and he's laughing as he tells me that he has to pat me down because "The scanner doesn't like what's between your legs"

Iron junk style!!

Think I'm going to start early as well...
We still haven't left Jen's house yet. We're running so late, we need a replacement bus service.
Reason: Our plans for THE ENTIRE WEEK got fucked on Monday due to one old man in a Prius who couldn't be fucked to look where he was going. More will be explained to those who ask at D*C.
Hopefully this will be the last thing I do online before we leave. I swear to the Gods we'll be there tomorrow morning. Wish us luck. We really need it.

I was helping out in Techops and waiting for some gear to come back into the Harris storeroom. Young lady comes in with an odd look on her face. Turns out she's RUNNING he place, as my friend Ray (it's a lady and no.. don't go there.) has been promoted to a firefighter (Techops version of Chief cook and bottlewasher!)

As she is setting up her paperwork, she regales the fact that she has been given advice on how to be a superhero! A short pudgy woman dropped a prop and it went skittering into traffic. The young techops volunteer acted quickly, snatched it up before it got hit by a car and handed it back to the woman. That's when she noticed the costume... THEN she got a five minute lecture on how to conduct herself! Since she was going to act like a superhero, she needed to start DRESSING like one!! But NEVER!! EVER go into a bank wearing a mask.. They get cranky..

Yes.. Danger Woman has struck again!!

Yes.. Danger Woman has struck again!!

I see you have struck again as well. Loaded up iTunes yesterday. Lo and behold, what do I see in the DCTV podcast?

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?

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?

[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:

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!

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?"

Honey Rum ice cream was such a success that people have been BEGGING me to sell it....

Awww.. was too busy to sample that. The two bottles I got were TASTY!

[Dasota]

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

[Ellain]

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

[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."
