Dragon*Con 2007

[girlpire]

Okay y'all, here it is: my report for Dragon*Con 2007 in Atlanta. Finally. Prepare to be both amused and horrified by turns.

Oh, and there are lots of pretty pictures, videos, and links, so before I get started, my apologies to dialers-up. Now, everyone ready?

Thanks so much for writing up your con adventure. I am having a blast reading it.

And I really appreciate you describing what was said during the Q and A's. I can never understand a word of it on you tube.

Love your costume, and this:
"So my mom and I made the costume together (read: She made the actual costume and I just made remarks)"
Made me laugh my ass off!

Long descriptions are a joy, they make me feel like I was there.
Thanks so much.

you are welcome! i had a blast writing it, although it took me a week to get everything organized in a way that made sense. :)

the Q&A stuff - people asked me more than once if i actually got anything out of it because i didn't look up the whole time. i was too busy scribbling down notes in my notebook so i could report back to everyone! but i had a good time.

glad you liked the costume! i would have worn it longer if i had thought to bring different shoes to wear with it.

thanks for the fb. :D

1. They got someone to act out the part of Buffy's punching bag. Heh. isn't that Spike's job? *ducks*

2. nice costume!

3. your brother-in-laws sorta look alike in that pic. which is sorta creepy. lmao.

4. JAMIE BAMBER!!!!! *FLAILS*

5. nice Dirty Dancing reference. and if it makes you feel any better, with the number of freaks that man has to deal iwth on a near-daily basis, he was probably just grateful you were a harmless freak :) I too have foot-in-mouth syndrome, which is why I aspire to never meet anyone famous that is hot.

6. A gay guy asks about Torchwood, and James becoming more of a gay icon than he already is. James: I'm a gay icon? Rock on! ...Really?....MWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA *laughs forever

1. ha! you're so right. :D

2. thank you! i wish i had worn it for longer. or to more buffy events so people could see it and recognize what it was from.

3. dude, when amy first started dating jamey, sara and scott made a lot of comments about how weird it was that jamey resembled scott. like, i've never really noticed it before... but i sort of see it now. just wait until amy and sara each have children - we won't be able to tell the kids apart!

4. *flails with you* HIS ACCENT, OMG. i wish i had met his hair...

5. i try, with the pop culture references. and god, what if i had met david boreanaz? i probably would have thrown up and died. like, on him.

6. XD

7. he gave us a whole thing about having to face his homophobia. *sigh*

8. it was!

Why is it that whenever I read about James doing photo shoots, he's always ogling girls' boobs...?

um, because he's a perv man? i will say this: i didn't hear anyone complaining about it! i was kind of surprised, though. :)

For the record, you are not lame!

[shapinglight]

Squee! You posted it!

Not quite so squee - I have to wait till I get home to read it so I can see all the clips as well.

:Drums fingers:

[girlpire]

haha, well i hope you enjoy it! i still feel like a dork for accidentally posting that one part without it being finished yet...

*squeeee* con report! I remember your sister from last year! And your outfit is a great lookalike! And 'I spraypainted it' isnt too bad... lol cute even! (the photo is very cute btw, most people tend to have that stunned 'OMGZ!' look whereas you look really happy )

[girlpire]

thanks inca!

"thanks, i spraypainted it" is now my standard answer to everything.

i'm happy with the photo, so i'm posting it all over the internet, every chance i get. :D
