We finally got our Comic-Con pictures up! Between the two of us, we got over 300 photos, most of them having been taken by my husband ( Read more... )

And I'm really tired. I still have Con Fatigue, and I've been home since Monday night. I need more sleep. Ugh. So, in no particular order on the days, here is a short report ( Read more... )

Well, it's time to get ready for Comic-Con. I need to finish packing. I didn't get any new costumes made because all my money vanished into dolls! Maybe next time.

I look forward to seeing people there. I will be bringing dolls, but I won't be carrying all of them with me each day.

I believe that we had a successful convention weekend. I went to the convention all three days, as did the rest of the family. Evelyn spent most of the convention confined to her stroller, but we had both an experiment in letting her be free on Saturday, and we let her walk at the end of the convention on Sunday ( Read more... )

Like my title says, things don't always go as planned. Tomorrow is the beginning of Wonder Con, and nothing that I was hoping would be put together by now is going to happen. Although I plan to dress up both Saturday and Sunday, I do not have anything new to wear to the convention. Plans for a day where I have Jaegers to command fell through. ( Read more... )

We have whole, new costumes that I made, some great pics of the Foglios (all of them), and a very cool machine made by Jake Von Slatt that I really want one of and plan to build ( Read more... )

I have wonderful stories of getting to see Abney Park with Kaja and Phil Foglio, getting pestered about Dickens, PEERs, and other dance events, and cool looking crafted stuff. But I want to organise my thoughts first, and let myself wake up a bit.

So, Convention report coming!

Only one bad thing happened at Comic Con; my wonderful, beautiful goggles began to fall apart!  By the end of Friday the magnifier was refusing to stay on, and my clockwork gear had fallen off.  Luckily, Thomas, who had the most intense Steampunk outfit at the whole convention and the apparent maker of just about everybody's goggles, was there.  He ( Read more... )

Comic Con has always been a good meeting-people-I-admire convention, even more so than the Creation Entertainment (Star Trek and X-Files) conventions I used to go to as a teenager.  Unlike Creation cons, Comic Con has many professionals just wandering around or sitting at easily reached booths.  If the person you want to meet is a little on the ( Read more... )

They are up! Chris has uploaded the pictures from Comic-Con 2008 onto his site. They are neatly placed into four categories.
Costumes, Professionals, Steampunk, and Miscellaneous.

Enjoy!
