Finally - my Dragon*Con recap :)

OK, I just needed to recover from Dragon*Con before posting about it. I think I forgot a lot about the con already though! Maybe that's best, what happens at D*Con stays at D*Con.

As always it was great seeing all of my long distance friends. I'm glad this convention gives us an excuse to all find ourselves in the same location once a year. Well, I

Haha, I still don't know how I look in my blues since David never takes my picture... hahaha! It's my least photographed costume of all. Whatever, I made it more because I'm a fan of the show and because I knew it was a costume David would like. He actually loves it and wears it to every convention he goes to so at least one person is getting good milage out of all that research.

Yeah, it must be an odd experience for guys like Michael Hogan and Edward James Olmos to actually start going to conventions and seeing the fan's enthusiasm first hand. Seeing people in costumes, and just the general atmosphere of conventions. Not sure if you saw the panel where E.J. Olmos said something like "This is the best kept secret!" Something like, this convention has just been fantastic and nobody really knows about it. He said it took Aaron Douglas telling them they need to come out to these conventions where the fan base is. And I think Aaron or one of the other cast members said something like "Yeah, we are really just a small show on the Sci-Fi network. We can generally walk down the street and it's a rare thing when we do get stopped or someone recognizes us." Something about having a general feeling their show isn't all that popular, so coming to the convention is an eye opener to like - wow - there are lots of people who love our show!

I thought I got a pic of you last year? I should have this year! :-) Either way, I think it looks great on you - you look like you just walked off the set! :-)

I bet it is a great experience for them - no other genre of tv has this kind of things. Funny how SF is kind of bottom of the totem pole in Hollywood, but the actors do get cons where their hardcore fans celebrate them and their shows.
