DragonCon 2008 Photo Post and Quotes (yay!)
This is hardly all of my photos and definitely not all of the really awesome ones taken over the course of the weekend. finarfiniel took most of those and I hope to have a few of them available to me in the near future.
First off the bat is one of the last photos taken. The residents of room 3032: finarfiniel, presentiment and greenwitch.
Clockwise from finarfiniel, who is wearing the black jacket: isisfrog, bond_323, wicked_swann, monkeywhatflys, presentiment.
There really is no description of this photo to be had. Um, I ran off with part of bond_323's Vietnam-era Marine uniform.
Serious elves are serious. finarfiniel and me as Glorfindel and Erestor, in the Marriott. Not one single person, even the hardcore Lord of the Rings fans, recognized us when we asked them who we were. Even when we gave them outrageous hints.
Grabbing some quick drinks at Trader Vic's before we ran off to participate in the YA Lit Costume Contest.
Dude, it's a chocolate frog! And the Harry Potter card! At the YA Lit Costume Contest.
finarfiniel and wicked_swann as Legolas And His Mum at the Tolkien Track's Night in Bree party.
finarfiniel!Legolas finds his mum and dad embarrassing. m_cubicle and wicked_swann as Thranduil and his wife.
finarfiniel!Legolas and presentiment!Maglor are BFF. If you look closely, you can see my "I can has Silmaril?" nametag. Two whole people got that at Night in Bree.
This picture never fails to make me laugh. Check out the Indiana Jones hat.
I don't know why, when or what, but this is me as Queen Gorgo (with stylish Colonial Marines gun) and bond_323 as Indiana Jones.
Me and finarfiniel crashed in the hall outside the Cantina Ball. So tired.
isisfrog with a very festive hat at the Pirate Party.
monkeywhatflys and me. Being friggin' adorable, of course..
bond_323, me, foehelm and m_cubicle. A good time, we is having it.
finarfiniel, wicked_swann and me. It's a little distubing how well Kate (finarfiniel) does the wench look.
Me and foehelm. The alcohol had happened in a big way.
monkeywhatflys and me.
monkeywhatflys, bond_323 and me. This photo took multiple attempts because, as it turned out, my camera was really zoomed in. Hilarity ensued.
Completely random last photo that is totally an inside joke amongst the lot of us. bond_323 always wanted to shoot someone out of a clock tower.
finarfiniel and I totally won consolation prizes in the YA Lit Costume Contest. As it turns out, Tolkien isn't considered YA Lit. Lame.
What DragonCon would be complete without a thorough recounting of the particularly stupid/funny things we said over the course of the weekend?
"I am so throwing the coke down the fruit hole." - Josh (bond_323)
"Please don't go off the road on account of 'yo mama' jokes." - Kate (finarfiniel)
"When you stick your penis in the burning bush, you get the Clap." - Andrea (monkeywhatflys)
"Oh shit! Sorry, buddy! ...Holy shit, you're a girl! Sorry, babe!" - random attendee after running into finarfiniel dressed as the Joker
"What's brown and sticky? Victoria Beckham."
"JESUS ASSRAPING CHRIST!" - Kate
"If you lose this book, you will be waterboarded." - Andrea
"Clone Wars makes Episode 1 look like motherfucking Shaft." - a sign some guy was carrying
"My Legolas boots ruined my ducky socks!" - Kate
"25th Floor: Ammunitions, Liquor and Baby Needs." - Long Range Desert Group costumer (yeah, there was squee) announcing the elevators arrival
"Commence the intercourse." - Josh
"Meanwhile, a long-haired albino and a Russian are sitting in unfortunately sized chairs." - DragonCon TV's abridged version of Deathly Hallows: Chapter 1.
"Amie: The Paris Hilton of Tatooine?" - Shannon
