tenel_ka | DRAGON*CON 2009 REPORT

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH:

We woke up a little later this morning and Nate and I decided to head to the Ghost Hunters panel. It was really awesome and they're hilarious and someone asked about the stupid show Ghost Adventures ("QUICK QUICK QUICK COME HERE COME HERE SHUT UP DUDE QUIET QUIET QUIET!!!1") and everyone was like, "EWWWWW NOOOOOO." And Steve just goes, "I like you guys." It was awesome.

When we returned to the room (after finding Sara outside of her writing panel) Bones had beamed down and was sticking Mace up.

THEN GUESS WAS TIME IT WAS. ~~PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME~~ CLUE TIEEEEEEEMMMMM!11

I love this movie with all my heart and was so excited this costume was finally getting done. fkajdfkjdkfjas

WHERE'S THE MONKEY'S BRAINS AND THE SHARKS FIN SOUP?

Mr. Green, Mrs. White, Mrs. Peacock and Yvette. <3333!

IT'S A ~~CONGA~~ KILLING LINE!

Yay fancy picture stairs!

SUP THIS IS MY STICK

While we were taking pictures on the 10th floor, something pretty awesome was happening above us. A bunch of Star Wars costumers had placed Jedi with blue sabers and Sith with red sabers on each floor in the little alcoves. And were getting some shots of it. I want to find the photographer who was doing this cause I would love to see how their shots came out. I had a couple on my camera (thanks to Sara :D). Here is one~

We walked around and checked out the Hilton and stuff. There were a good number of people who knew what the Clue costume was, which actually made me giddy like a schoolgirl knowing that other people liked the movie like I did. One girl dressed like Flo from the Progressive commercials wanted to be in a picture with us and I wanted to give her a huge hug cause she was so excited and I was so excited and just omg. THIS MOVIE. <3

I also loved the guy who went, "TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT!" Cause it came to me so easily to go, "TOO LATE~"

Sara called in our traditional room service order around 7:45 and we all piled back in the room once the cart got there. As I was stepping over my suitcase to get around the cart I hear, RRRRRIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPP~ Everyone froze and they all looked at me and I'm sure I looked like, :O -- we just stood there for a second and I finally reached behind me and felt the damage on the dress and it wasn't as bad as it could've been. I was also happy the dress waited to rip when we were done wearing the costumes. XDDDDDD

Before I took it off though, I had to get Mrs. White slurping soup!

We had our room service and watched the Masquerade, which was amusing as always (I also called Valerie and Brian here, to tell them many things, lololololol). Then Sara and Ashley got ready for the Yule Ball in their Tonks and Bellatrix outfits. While they were there, Emily, Nate and I were lazy around the room, checking the internet and half-in, half-out of our Long Walk costumes, which we all put on when they got back. But not before goofing off in THE PICTURE SPOT!

Once we all got our belts, bloody shirts and bullet holes on we went to wander, stopping outside near the Hilton to get some pictures. This is where magic happened. XD

I was looking at my camera and realized we were only in the hotels, in these costumes for a total of 20 minutes (we didn't put them on till like midnight, lol). So I have vowed to myself that I am wearing Peter McVries for at least six hours next year (YEAR FOUR FOR THE LONG WALK COSTUMES -- LET'S GET MORE THAN FIVE~ XDDDD).

In those 20 minutes though, a very sweet Shaun (of the Dead) walked by us and stopped, backtracking and going, "You guys are from the Stephen King book, The Long Walk, yeah?" And we were like, "YES" and he's like, "Awesome! I love that book!" And that right there made my night. With that costume, it takes one person for me to go absolutely berserk. Like I never thought anyone would know wtf it is, but I love the book so much and I love wearing that so much that I always have to bring it. djfajdsfkfdj Peter. <3

HERE IS AN AMAZING COSTUME.

This was so badass. XD

More pictures in the picture spot of course!~ Some good post-ticket ones I'll be putting on TEH COSPLAY SITE AND CRAP ZOMG. Meaning I'm too lazy to resize them all now. LOL WHOOPS.

I... I don't know. It was like 2:30 in the morning.

Yeah, and here is a paragraph that's totally a long story short. On the floor below us -- this would be in our picture spot if we were on the 20th floor and not the 21st -- there were these two nasty tools making out and slobbering all over each other. I yelled down that I HOPED THEY WERE PLANNING ON USING PROTECTION cause we don't want little slimy d-bags running around. This made them retreat into the soda nook to make out some more. Meaning I went downstairs and kicked on the wall and open and shut the door to mess with them. Like get a shittin' room. We don't want your swine flu slobber and other bodily fluids all over the hotel hallways you trashy assholes. Needless to say, this made them go even further into the soda nook, I believe. Or they just went away all together. I felt bad for the two people sitting RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE SODA NOOK TALKING. I hope their conversation didn't get interrupted by the sounds of two fucknuggets sliming all over each other. Grossssss. I bet they were the types of con-goers who didn't shower either. I really hope they didn't procreate or anything.

Anyways, we all got cleaned up after that and THEN IT WAS TIME TO DANCE. The 80's dance last year was better music-wise. It's not that the DJ this time was playing bad 80's music... it was just more rockish and not as danceable 80's music. Although, Smooth Criminal = HELL YES and rickrolling us by making us think you're playing Smells Like Teen Spirit when it's really a SLTP and RICK ASTLEY mashup was completely awesome.

Here are some fun pictures from Sara's camera!

I have no idea wtf I was doing here.

Alex and Ronnie trying to get Nate to slamdance. XD

WE SAW STEVE FROM THE GHOST HUNTERS THERE. APPARENTLY HE WAS DANCING. I GAVE MYSELF WATER CRAMPS BY DRINKING MY WATER TOO FAST WHEN I SAW HIM IT WAS AMAZING. XD

I think we got back to the room and finally passed out around 6am.

I love The Long Walk and Clue costumes so much. <3
