Heroes Con 2009
While I love the Nerdi Gras of Dragoncon, Heroes con IS my favourite convention. Its friendly, its low key, its a great location and the convention center is full of so much awesomeness and dippin dots.
My Swag
- Mary Marvel Sketch from Cully
- Huntress Sketch from Stephanie Roux
- Wasp sketch from Dean Trippe
- Perhapanauts 1 & 2
- Empowered 5
- Hellcat Trade
Good
- Got a sketch from Cully (Mary marvel!), Stephanies Roux (huntress) and Dean Trippe (wasp).
- Mary Marvel, Wasp and the Scarlet witch went over well. I was worried I wouldn't finish the armor.
- Learned how to play Texas hold'em (still not very good)
- Got to meet a lot of talented artist I never knew of before, my favorite being Eric Canete, Uko and Dean.
- Was able to lend a hand in costume at the auction!
- Chris did an amazing job on Scarlet witch’s mask, I totally loved it!
- Ate wild wings *yum*
Bad
- Westin isn't as nice as I remember. Our room was also too hot, the TV didn't work, and the shower didn't drain properly.
- Missed out on Casey Jones sketch list.
- Some people didn't know who I was when I dressed as Wasp or Mary marvels.. Pfft Fans! READ MORE!
- Lost $20 playing Texas hold'em
- DUB right next door (its a one of those loud car shows :P)
- Didn't get to have enough amaretto!
Ugmo
- My forehead; For some reason the wasp wig caused me to have an infection on my forehead. It looks like I got clothes lined. Its slowly healing now.
Photos
I didn't get very many photos from the convention because Valerie had a nice big camera and I'm a size queen. Seriously though I'm terrible at remember to take photos. 1. never have any pockets 2. I'm lazy :P
There is a story behind this picture, everyone as SO damn tall. So we took the first picture and I told everyone "You’re so damn tall, Screw this I'm JUMPING" Of course Scott wasn't expecting it and and he got a mouth full of hair. Look Ma I'm 6"1!
Another cosplayer (Rinoawannabe) and I. I remember she had a black
canary costume she was going to wear but needed to Safety pin, Luckily
I had one but I never got to see her in the costume. She was very
sweet, Perhaps it was our wigs that brought us together :P
This is Valerie with Supergirl and I... whoa I realize now looking at this picture is almost as tall as me and I'm wearing heels. That’s depressing! haha Anyways Beth (supergirl) and her Dad were completely awesome and she was such great help at the auction. We talked a lot throughout the weekend and promised to keep in touch. A cosplayer in the making! Someone joked I'm a Cos mom, watching out for the up and coming cosplayers so they can learn from my experience of panty lines, sweat stains and seams ripping.
There is a shot of the back of the costume, now normally I'm completely
against butt shots. But this is to show some small detailing I added.
Its Wing Slots when I'm Waspie size, it was great to have lots of
people notice and comment on it. The "Where are your wings" comment never got old... :P I'm FULL SIZE!
So here is the only photo I had on my camera (The rest of the photos I swiped from the
awesome people who posted on flickr.), this is Scott Adsit, Mark
McHaley and I enjoying some wild wings and they were playing disco. I've never seen this look on my face it must be the pure bliss of a wildwing / disco combo..
I'll post a couple more when I get photos from Valerie, it was a fantastic weekend.
A quick post about SDCC, because I been getting a lot of questions about it. I won't be at SDCC this year, but thank you to everyone who showed interest in wanting to cross paths there.
I hope everyone has a fantastic time, I'll be stalking flickr for photos! So many sure when you TAG your photo you put sdcc2009 cosplay!! Well I gotta go and finishing molding a life size statue of a choirboy... :P 1 Down 2 more choir kids to go!
I gotta post more here, but it just takes me so long to write up something, and then I realize how stupid it sounds cause I'm caught in the moment of what I'm writing. Not to mention I have been trying to really limit my internet time, especially when SDCC coming up, while I'm not going, I have to get Adam/Allison ready to go and I have a couple huge mold projects due in the next two week.
