tenel_kaAnd to continue our Dragon*Con 2010 Report of Doom, I bring you Friday!~
(Under this cut: JEDI STRIKE TEAM FORCEBRADY BUNCH GO, Ashley blue me, there's a splicer in the house!, when did Nate get so emo?)
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2010
When we woke up in the morning, we realized D*C TV was out in our hotel. I did some scouring on the interwebs and found out they were working on fixing it, so I just put Tobias in camouflage mode in front of the test pattern that was sitting on our screen. That's right, we didn't change the channel to something else. We left it on the rainbow test pattern on D*C TV. That's how dedicated we are, lolololol. XD
We all started to get ready for the Jedi Strike Team gathering (Jedi Strike Team from the Star Was New Jedi Order book Star by Star). This meant us getting jumpsuits on while Ashley began to get all crazy Lomi Plo Nightsister on us. She started to paint herself white, wasn't satisfied with how it was drying and took the hair dryer to help speed up the process. XD
Natalie and Gala came to our room as did Valerie and Brian, and we all geeked out a bit while Ashley finished up her makeup (and put a couple injuries on us as well) and we doled out weapons, haha~
This is when Valerie was like, "Shit, you guys. You've been here for one night and your room is already a total pit."
SHE WASN'T LYING.
She is looking disapprovingly at the mess, lol.
Before we went to take pictures (WE FOUND SAKIIIIIIII FIRST <333), the Strike Team went for a field trip to the food court. We all split up to get food and I headed to a wrap place that also had salads and so on with Ashley, Natalie and Nate. I was standing around with Ashley holding my lightsaber, her lightsaber (she was carrying her food and stuff XD) and my food and drink while we waited for Nate and Natalie and this is when a guy comes up and asks what character I am. When I said Tenel Ka he gave an excited I KNEW IT and asked if he could take a picture. I was absolutely flattered (and excited that someone knew who Tenel Ka was, lololol) and said sure then transferred all the crap in my hands elsewhere except for the lightsaber, of course. So that pretty much made my day, hahahah~ XD
We all met up again and took our food up to the 10th floor of the Marriott, where we all sat at a table to eat (Valerie and Brian sat at a table behind us because they didn't want to be associated with us at all lololol JUST KIDDING) and listened to the sounds of Parade Spartans practicing their yelling as we nommed. We always seem to be up on the 10th floor when the Spartans are practicing, it happened last year too.
I LOVE SARA'S FACE. XDDDDD
See... apparently all we all do...
...is make doofy faces. XD
After that, we wandered over to the Hilton and went out onto the odd/awesome roof/big open area with all the stairs and stuff. This is where we started goofing off and getting some pictures (THANKS AGAIN TO VALERIE AND BRIAN FOR JUGGLING CAMERAS XD)~
LET'S GO SMITE SOME VONG HUR HUR
Sorry Lomi Plo, we didn't know we'd find you here YOU GET NO BREATH MASK
<3 this picture, thank you Valval. XD
PEWPEWPEW wait--
And of course, this has to happen. Cause it wouldn't be Jacen Solo without the crotch thrust! I've had that section of the gallery on the Jacen site for FOREVER now, it just wouldn't be the same site without it, hahahaha~ (Another of course: my lightsaber is like LOOK AT THIS STUPID SOLO AND HIS CROTCH THRUST. I love everyone's expressions.)
Insert awesome 70's sitcom theme here.
Then we moved inside to the CRAZY CARPETS of the hotel and got some fun shots there too.
SORRY LOMI PLO ZEKK DOESN'T LIEK UUUUU even though we have no Zekk, he is hiding lol.
The carpet is totally fitting, right? XD
Solo brothers playing catch with a thermal detonator! And Jaina looks on with a big WTF BOYS.
SOLO KID FISTBUMP!
Aaaand Jacen tries to fistbump Tenel Ka with the wrong hand. Really, kid?
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED THIS PICTURE CAUSE I'M A NERD. D:
Sears Family Portrait, y'all. Hahahahah <33333
Jaina is emo because her siblings have their other halves and she has NO OOONNNEEEEE~ I'm sad we had no Zekk to creepishly stare at her from the background. :( Or Lowbacca to be like, "WELL YOU CAN HAVE ME!"
SORRY LOMI PLO (again XD) NO HUG FOR YOU
Speaking of Lomi Plo. <333
Sara had taken her Eryl wig off but I loved the way this shot came out. I love her with the blonde hair~ <333 Also, Ashley looks super evil and I love this.
HAY I HAS A TOOTH (better shots of it on my dA XD)
DURRRR THERE'S A VOXYN FOLLOWING US
Miss Nightsister again~ <333
Crazy-eyed Tenel Ka with an awesome injury by Ashley. XDD
On the way to the roof of the Hilton with the group, we were walking through the hotel and I was in the front of the pack. I saw Stan Lee coming up on the left and turned around to exclaim, "STAN LEE!" to the group. Ashley didn't hear this, and Natalie reiterated to her, "Stan Lee!" to which -- as Ashley turned around to face Natalie to hear what she was saying -- lightly smacked Stan Lee in the face with her Nightsister feathers. She had no idea this happened until we told her and she felt really bad afterwards. He chuckled at it though, so it was all good. Sadly, I'm sure worse things have happened to him, lololol~
HERE IS AN AWESOME COSTUME~ <333333
HERE ARE MORE AWESOME COSTUMES~ Beth and Roger in their Mini Ninja costumes! :DDDD
After putzing around in JST outfits for awhile (Nate, Ashley, Sara and I ended up in the dealer room at one point, which Ashley and I promptly stepped outside because it was burning hot and Ashley couldn't walk through without smacking people in the face with feathers - then we lost Sara, then we lost Nate, then we lost Sara again, then we lost Nate again - I don't remember the exact order of all this happening lol, but I do know it wouldn't have happened if we had cell phone signal XD) we ended up back at the room where the great BLUE-ING OF HEATHER began.
But first, Nate randomly started cleaning. He did this multiple times over the weekend. I always asked him why he would do this in the hotel room but never at home. XD
Now you know I love me some Brütal Legend, so I was super excited about this costume. Ashley is also totally awesome at makeup so that's another reason I was excited. <3
It took some time to get it all on (the right amount/layers and then the coloring and shapes around the eyes) my stomach/back and face, but once it was on I got amazingly giddy because again ASHLEY WINS AT MAKEUP. XD
She put on her Splicer (BIOSHOCK <3) and Nate put on his gothy goth Grave Digger who is definitely one of the best henchmen in Brütal Legend ("This music makes me want to kill myself... in a good way.") and we all set out to the land of downstairs.
SPLICER! I have more pictures of her awesome Splicer here!
We chilled with Erin, Chip, Alex, Jeremy and Ronnie in the Hilton lobby while we waited for Chip and Erin to go up for karaoke and sing IT'S RAINING MEN~ it took them FOREVER to get to Chip but it was totally worth it cause him (with Erin as his "Blackup singer" lolololol <3) were totally awesome and drove everyone batshit crazy dancing and screaming. Valerie and I were standing there watching them and this crazy group of dudes in their underwear were near us flailing around. They got so out of it that one of the dudes running the karaoke came over and yelled at them for being too loud and rambunctious. My sister and I just looked at each other like, "O_O"~
Jeremy, being the awesomeeeee photographer that he is, got a couple of shots of me and Nate all gothed out.
(YAYYYY <333 THANK YOU JEREMYYYYY - I love these pictures. XD)
Then Ashley, Sara, Brian, Valerie, Nate and I headed over to the Marriott to people watch. Because that is defintiely a sport at D*C. Hehe~
We saw a giant Mortal Kombat group and the best thing ever - the Martian Lady from Mars Attacks!
EVEN HAD THE WALK DOWN.
THIS IS FOR YOU,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lusa_thul~ XD
AWESOME FRRRRROG. So happy to see a Chrono Trigger costume!
I SNUCK THIS PICTURE OF LOUIS ACROSS THE LOBBY. :D
Then Valerie got some pictures of us before I screwed up my makeup (actually I don't think I did screw it up THIS TIME, but usually I do screw up makeup when I have it on SO THIS IS A FIRST~ XD)!
I HEAR U LIEK GOTH MUSIC?
Somehow I got tall! No, not really.
Cry your emo tears, Drowning Doom! XD
y halo thar (lol do you see it rubbing off of my neck)
I am so short. Or Nate is so tall. Or both.
THE MAGICAL WATER WALL!
It was pretty cool in the shower that night. LOOK AT ALL THE BLUE WATER LOLOLOLOL WOOOOWWWWWWWWW. By the time I got in the shower it was pretty late and I was very tired, so the blue water AMAZED MEEEEEE. I also missed a couple spots on my neck (which were discovered the next day when I put my Buster costume on and had all my hair shoved into a hat - although the blue fit! We just pretended Tobias touched my neck! XD)~
Out D*C TV was back at this time (it had come back on later in the morning) so again we fell asleep to the lullaby of Dragon*Con TV (and Bob & Carl <3).
HUZZAH GETTING STUFF DONE
