flying mythical dinosaur*swindle debriefing
I HAD SEX WITH GARETH DAVID LLOYD ON A SINK AT DRAGON*CON AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY MANICURE:
I can't really do timeline shit, so lemme do some numbers shit:
1. So I loved staying in the hotel. I had great roommates: rm and foxay.
2. The suggestion that we drunk dial who_anon is the funniest thing evar. I might have also gone on sizeofthatthing and suggested some fics.
3. Foxy actually has my con report right here: because we were together a lot. And drunk quite a bit.
4. I DID MANAGE TO LISTEN TO AARON ALLSTON TALK, and the man is awesome, and blind as a bat. He had great advice on the market and behaviour.
5. OBLIGATORY PEOPLE WOT I MET AND HUNG OUT WITH THING: 51stcenturyfox, rm, neifile7, such_heights, dremiel, azn_jack_fiend, thaddeusfavour, MISTER THAD, pocky_slash, count_to_seven, Anton (with the awesome monkey story), and a bunch of drunk people on the gallery who talked to me a lot even though I had no idea who they were or what they were saying.
6. THERE WAS A PANEL ON SHAKESPEARE THAT WAS SO HORRIBLE I STILL CANNOT SPEAK OF IT. FOR ME THE PAIN IS STILL TOO NEAR. RED SKIES AT DAWN. BLOOD HAS BEEN SHED THIS NIGHT. A DIVERSION.
7. NOW ON TO THE THINGS YOU WANTED TO SEE. I took pics as I thought things were cool, so some of them are blurry and some of them are for specific people.
DALEK BLECH OBSERVES HIS HOST HOTEL. HE GIVES IT THREE STARS.
IT IS A GOOD OMEN THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST PIC I TOOK:
I really wish my camera setting skills were better and that I had the balls to ask people for photos. As it was I snapped this quickly in a flurry before he would move, because he had the most incredible blue eyes. IT WAS LIKE ALL STAR SUPES CAME TO LIFE:
This poor little therapy dog made me lol because he jumped into the flower beds when his handler was trying to have a smoke. She kept yelling at him, but he just ate some grass and then plunked down in the bed to chill:
Yeah, there's one every year. The show just changes. The last time I was there it was Farscape:
emquilxy, there were so many Umbrella Corp people it was insane:
The steampunk was also kind of out of control. Steam punk is to Dragon*Con this year what Naruto and Inuyasha were to every anime con from 2003 to present. But this dude just has a bicycle. I did not get him to ride it, but I would have paid good money to see it.
There were a lot of Batmans and shit, but this was sexay:
Also, this is sweet in its execution:
BEST COSPLAY IN THE UNIVERSE, HANDS DOWN:
This is for sthayashi:
This was actually a few blocks from the con hotel. Looks like someone got some sidewalk chalk and went bonkers in ATL:
It is a testament to how much I love Wonder Woman that I am sharing this photo with you. I was so wasted. ALSO IT WAS HOT.
"I wanna be a Stormtrooper, but I can't afford all the armour. That's okay, I'll just make pieces out of these Bud Light boxes." The only thing that beats this is Lord Faygo from Rag.
For snaxcident. The only thing that would have made this better would have been a stick horse unicorn:
Okay I confess I took this picture because of the Father Ted aside in my brain. THERE WAS A LO PAN THERE AND I WANTED HIS PIC SO BAD, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO BOTHER HIM.
count_to_seven'S AWESOME GDL WATSON IN AN ILL FITTING WAISTCOAT:
[CAPTAIN MORGAN. Foxy's is in better focus.]
OKAY STEAM PUNK CAPTAIN MARVEL. 1. He had the six elements. Like the elixir of Achilles and the lightning of Zeus in that big gun and shit. It was awesome. I dunno who that zombie chick is. She just jumped in. He stopped because I said who he was as he passed and he was PROFOUNDLY GRATEFUL that I didn't think he was the flash. LOOK AT HIM PEOPLE. THAT IS NOT THE FLASH. IT'S STEAMPUNK CAPTAIN MARVEL.
OKAY I KIND OF WANTED TO HUMP HIS POP RIVETED LEG.
THIS SUMS UP HOW I FEEL ABOUT LOTR NOW THAT WE'RE YEARS OUT OF THE FILMS:
AND LASTLY, FOR ALL Y'ALL. THERE WAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THIS, BUT THIS ONE WAS THE BEST:
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???!!!!?
8. I will say that some of the people I met this time around and talked to taught me some things I needed to hear about dealing with other, especially on the internet. The way that they approach issues and fights and disagreements in RL and online when we talked about it, and also about old issues and wanks and things, taught me about stepping back, and thinking twice, and in general not taking everything so goddamn personal. Someone doesn't like my story? That's cool. And it doesn't mean that the story isn't good actually.
I dunno why this stuff bothers me more with fanfic and never with orig fic.
9. Also, I think I managed to eat a caesar salad EVERY DAY I WAS THERE. There was even a deconstructed one at sear, and I almost wanted to hold a Judges table and discuss it with the chef. "Chef, please pack your knives and go." No really, it was good.
10. DALEK BLECK BIDS YOU ADIEU.
THIS YEAR'S HALLOWEEN COSTUME:
That was my big fat D*C exp. Seriously, few panels, lots of booze, tonnes of food, great people, EXCELLENT CONVERSATIONS, and a renewed sense of writing. I WILL WRITE THAT FPREG. IT WILL BE AWESOME.
OH AND I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A SEASON TO AIR THIS FALL.
Oh, and Jack and Ianto's post-it D*C adventure:
BUT FOR NOW, my dad is out of surgery, and I'm waiting to hear how he is, and I have plans to make biscotti with cabernet cocoa powder, and possibly some cupcakes.
I dreamt about biscotti last night.
I made a list of shit to do divided by pages: on page per category, house, work, online, general, errands, etc. IT'S NINE PAGES LONG.
See ya'll on the flip side.
EDIT: I bought their Netherworld Blend and the Reanimator Blend. The latter is great. Haven't tasted the firmer. Go there and browse the teas and coffees.
