DRAGON*CON -- a retrospective!
Mar. 1st, 2008 06:13 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
tenel_kaI was straightening up my room and I saw my five D*C programs on my shelf. I hadn't realized 2007 was my fifth year. XD I went back and looked at some old pictures and thought that in honor of the five years I've been acting like a super uber-dork (aka MYSELF) on Labor Day weekend, I would post my favorite Dragon*Con pictures that my camera captured.
This convention is amazing and everyone should go at least once. :D
2003 -- YEAR ONE:
Two of the coolest people in the D.C Fanforce. Sharon, on the left, in part of her Jedi outfit. When asked where her pants went, she only responded with, "I LOST THEM IN THE CLONE WARS!" On the right, Ken. His wife, Eugenia, wasn't feeling too well that night so he put on her dress and wandered around to amuse her. XD
CALEB ROSS (aka Lex from The Tribe or My Favorite Zekk-man) -- OMG LOOK HOW CLOSE I WAS. Aaaand was too chicken to ask for a proper picture. Which was okay, I got one later.
THE POOR LOST TROOPERS. D: And no parade is complete without the Clone Emperor!
skldjfklsjdf THE TRIBE. Well, five of the cast members, anyways. Actually, Tom Hern (Ram) isn't in this shot cause I think he was sitting on the back. But but but! CALEB ROSS IS SQUIRTING US WITH A WATER GUN! And this was when Meryl Cassie (Ebony) was talking to us! She was like, "OMG IT'S SO HOT OUT HERE YOU GUYS~ ARE YOU OKAY?"
This was one of the most classic moments in my D*C history ever. These three were sitting at one of the empty tables that was reserved for a group or something. The group had left for the night and they were like, "COME OVER AND LISTEN TO OUR NEW TV SHOW PLOT!" So Valerie and I wandered over and they were telling us about it -- I wish I could remember what it was called, something "...and Nukes"...? I think? Anyways, they were hilarious and they were like, "WE'RE FROM CANADA!" And I told them to take Avril Lavigne back with them. They were like, "OH GOD NO SHE'S NOT A REAL CANADIAN! NO!" Then I got a picture of them so that when they were famous I could say I met them before their show got really popular. XD
MACE AND MACE. YESSSSSSSSS!
Alright, this is seriously like my sister and I in a nutshell. I'm dressed as female!Han and she's a Sith and I look like a tool and she looks annoyed with me. THIS IS US.
Another thing in a nutshell. Random guy licking Pyramid Head. Dragon*Con in a nutshell.
I had pictures with them all individually (which is me and Caleb = proper picture) but when I got a picture with all of them together I about died of fangasms. Meryl (Ebony), Beth (Amber), Michael (Jack), me!, Tom (Ram) & Caleb (Lex)! :D And they loved my TMNT shirt. I DIED OF HAPPY. I also love how Tom and Caleb are being dorky and random and blabbing, like they talked and just wouldn't shut their mouths. Ever. XD
2004 -- YEAR TWO:
This was Ronnie and Erin's first year at D*C -- they spent it laying on the floor. XD
This is Master Chief's butt. <3
The Clone Emperor again! Except this time he was Xizor! :O <3
The winners of the Star Wars costume contest -- and that is most definitely Daniel Logan (little Boba) up front pr0nning like a mad, mad thing. XD
This is one of my absolute favorites -- Ronnie looking out at the lobby of the Hyatt. I didn't take many pictures in 2004, but this one was all yay and fun. :D
2005 -- YEAR THREE:
Color costumes! Ed (black), Erin (green), me (red) and Ronnie (yellow)! We were supposed to be showing off our butts in this picture. But Erin refused and showed her middle finger instead and Ed looks like he broke his back. XD
Dude, I don't remember wtf creepy thing we were talking about but Ed sneaking up on Nick and giving him a creepy shoulder massage (it had to do with the conversation, but I can't remember what it was!) was the BEST THING EVER. CLASSIC.
RONNIE ON THE FLOOR AGAIN, A YEAR LATER. XD
Ed must've been saying something really odd, cause this is the face Erin makes when you are saying something stupid and digging yourself a hole. I am so excited that I caught it on film. XD
Ronnie and Mace, just chillin'. I love the way Ronnie is looking at Mace like, "Can you believe this shit?"
Ed as Zekk! Eating plants! I THOUGHT IT WAS A SALAD, YOU GUYS. D:
Zekk (Ed), Tenel Ka (me) and Tahiri (Sarah) wondering when they will get their respective Solo lovin'. I absolutely adore this picture with all my EU-fangirl heart. XDDD
Jacen (Jason) trying to cop afeel fleet from Tenel Ka. :O!
I don't even know where to begin to explain this picture but Ed, Jason, Ronnie and Nick sure do know how to make a classic shot. XD
2006 -- YEAR FOUR:
OMG OMG! Buster (me), Maeby (Valerie), George Michael (Brian) and G.O.B. (Jason)! ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT LOOOOVE. XD
LEGO costumes. Best. Costumes. Ever. TALK ABOUT FIERCE.
Look! A Slash cosplay! And by that I mean my sister took my Cowboy hat and did this for like 2 seconds so I could take a picture. MUAHAH~ <3
My two favorite shots of the Warriors group. The one on the left makes us look sort of badass and then the one on the right just makes us look like us. XD COWBOY AND SNOWBALL ARE SUCH DORKS -- POOR AJAX. D:
RONNIE ON THE FLOOR, THREE YEARS IN A ROW. XDDD
EEEEE! GHOST HUNTERS! Steve (left) told me to delete this picture, but I couldn't bring myself to do it, it's too darling. He was like, "LET'S TRY TO TAKE THIS OURSELVES" -- as you can see it failed, but I love the picture nonetheless. And on the right is me and Grant(!!) and Jason(!!). They are so damn nice. XDD
This is Erin TRYING TO SEE WHAT'S INSIDE JABBA. :OOOO
We're... horrible. Emily was trying to fix something on Jason's pants and this is what came of it. The best part is that I'm dressed like Tenel Ka, he's dressed like Jacen and Emily is dressed like Leia. AWESOME.
I think this still wins "HEATHER'S FAVORITE JACEN/TK COSPLAY PICTURE" award. Heeeee! (and not just because 'I has an asscape'!)
From left to right: Ki, Erin, Ronnie, Jason, me, Valerie and Brian. This is what happens when we all take the camera and imitate the tools and their emo myspace/facebook pictures.
2007 -- YEAR FIVE:
Tenel Ka does not want to know what Jacen Solo is looking for/finding in that tree. D:
This one is fun too though. YAY EPIC STAIRS.
Dirty Alema (Emily), Jacen (Jason) and Tenel Ka (me), brought to you by the same people who gave you dirty Leia/Jacen/TK. XD
Jason's drawing of Darth Vader during Cranium. Yes, that's Darth Vader. :D
THE DREAM TEAMS. Jacen, Allana and Tenel Ka -- I MEAN JASON, KYLE AND HEATHER. Emily and Cati! In which Cati looks like she wants to escape THE MADNESS. And Ashley and Mace! Ashley and Mace pretty much kicked everyone's asses. D:
WHAT IS THIS LOOKING FEMME CRAP YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT? And omg! For once I was as tall as Erin! And this is me in five inch heels and her with no shoes on. D: I love these two pictures. O_O
Screw real Spartans! There were so many and they all looked the same! Parody Spartans was where it was at! Budget Spartans and 300 lbs.! YES!
Ken and Eugenia! This time as a bee and a flower! Pervy? YES! Awesome? HELL YES!
Me and Ronnie, being silly. I love that picture. And then on the right, as Rez, looking NOT LIKE MYSELF AT ALL. Maybe that's why I love that picture so much. XD
Jacen and Jaina (Kayli)! THIS IS LIKE MY FAVORITE PICTURE I'VE EVER TAKEN EVER. EPIC!
This wins too. Seriously. XD
OMG FAT MOMMA AND MAJOR VICTORY AND FEEDBACK! <3333 They were so damn funny (as if you couldn't tell by the totally lame look I have on my face). There was a picture of us all looking at the camera and smiling, but this one wins over it because it's just so real. XD
HI MOM I HAVE A STICK. AND TWO ARMS! Aaaaaand oh no I think the crystal snake bit Jacen! :o
OMFG ROOM SERVICE!!!!1111 WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!1
I love how casually snazzy these two pictures are. Also, Jeremy's Zoolander face.
I will never get over how much these costumes kicked ass. So much fun walking around as dead!Long Walkers. Also, those few and awesome random people knowing what we were FLOORED ME AND MADE ME SO GIDDY. These are so coming back in 2008. <3
PETER MCVRIES JUST WANTS YOU TO LOVE HIM.
To close this out, here are our (Ronnie, Erin, Me, Jeremy, Jason, Emily and Ashley -- AND MACE) impressions of THE CRUXSHADOWS!
I HOPE TO HAVE MORE AMAZING DRAGON*CONS WITH YOU BITCHES FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. <3333 HEART HEART HEART.
Now, I'm going to get me some Taco Bell. O_O
