D*C 2008 Wrap up!

So here is the master D*C 2008 recap link and a possible list of costumes for next year, much like I did last year. XD

-- Thursday! (doughnuts! burning eyes!)
-- Friday! (bullet holes! doctors! swimsuits...?)
-- Saturday! (zombilicious! LEECHES! that other fandom!)
-- Parade! (lolol chips ahoy!)
-- Sunday! (ADAM AND EVE WUT? i'm sew happy!)

Dragon*Con 2009 costumes (definite and possible)!:
1.) Mrs. White (Clue: the Movie -- I LOVE that screencap~ XD)
2.) A Frog Brother (The Lost Boys)
3.) Tenel Ka (Young Jedi Knights -- already done)
4.) I kind of want to do a Carrie costume. :o You know, the whole nine yards with the bloody prom dress... that would be bloodier than all my costumes from this year combined! And would also require like a ten hour shower to get clean, SO I DON'T KNOW YET~ XD

I THOUGHT I HAD MORE IDEAS THAN THIS SO FAR...?

WOOOOOOOO D*C~

DRAGON*CON 2008! SUNDAY!

SUNDAY (and a tiny smidge of Monday) - AUGUST 31st, 2008: [ costumes: Maid Marian (Robin Hood: Men in Tights), Little Sister (Bioshock -- + Splicer = LOVE!) ]

WE JUST GOT RICKROLLED TWICE! :D )

In the end, I have to thank everyone for making my sixth D*C one of the best and most classic D*Cs ever.

And I just have to give props to the Blood Drive at Dragon*Con. San Diego Comic Con produced about 856 units in their blood drive this past year. Dragon*Con, which has less members attending (about 30,000 attendees as opposed to SDCC's approximate 125,000), rounded out at about 1,182 units, so I hear. Everyone is drunk or hung over and is like, "YEAH LET'S GO GIVE SOME BLOOD, WOOO!" XDDDDD

I also have to say that I have never met an asshole at Dragon*Con -- everyone is jointly sweet and nerdy and geeky and proud of it. Sure, the convention is like the weird red-headed stepchild of the convention world, but that's why it's so damn incredible. Everyone should go at least once in their lifetimes.

September 4 - 7, 2009, bitches! BE THERE!


(LOL THIS PICTURE OF IRON MAN COOLING OFF = <33333~ I LOVE D*C. XD)

The Sunday report will be up at some point tonight~ XD

No, we didn't bring our swimsuits. But dammit, we will hang out by the pool. (Yay for overuse of the angry cursing and word AWESOME!) )

Also, overheard at the convention: "I am so over Star Wars Galaxies. I play WoW now."

ROFL ROFL ROFLLFKDLKFLSDKFLDKLK hahhahahah~

DRAGON*CON 2008! THURSDAY!

OH HAY. IT'S TIME FOR THE START OF THE D*C RECAP. It'll be separated into days. I was going to try to make it one long post but there's too much crap to contain into one big post -- so like last year it will be split up. LET'S BEGIN.


YOUR CAST & CREW / THURSDAY - AUGUST 28th, 2008:

I'm not gay, but I would be for George Takei. )

BUT FIRST! FRIDAY! Which will be soon, hehe~ :D

Just a few yays before I pass out.

Here is one of my favorite pictures I took from the con:

Annie from Stephen King's Misery~ <3 )

The best part about it is the fact that Ashley really looks like she's gonna hobble murder someone with that axe. And the lighting. XD


And then my favorite picture of a costume of mine. Ashley is a genius and I love her:

Little Sister from Bioshock -- dajfksjdfkasdj THE SETTING AND THE SHOT AND JUST KFJKSJDFJ. I LOVE YOU ASHLEY~ )

The empty elevator (EMPTY WHAT?) completes the shot and totally adds to the YAY ABANDONED RAPTURE feeling. XD

And then this awesome random shot of Jeremy on Sunday morning when we were all in Men in Tights costumes. He was Blinkin. And if you recall correctly, Blinkin was blind. So Erin and I were talking and we turn around to find Jeremy gone. He had wandered off and stood in front of a wall, staring at it like he couldn't see it.

DID SOMEBODY SAY ABE LINCOLN? )


ALSO, LOL HERE ARE OUR SCRUBS COSTUMES. XD (IT'S GUY LOVE~!)


Gonna go to sleep now. My head still feels like there's a brick in it and I have a NEVERENDING HANGOVER. WHAT IS THIS CON CRUD I SENSE? I am so happy I took tomorrow (today?) off.

I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU HOW I'M FEELING!

So I need to catch up on my FL and unpack and pass out and stuff but HOLY CRAP. DRAGON*CON WAS AMAZING.

AND THE DANCE LAST NIGHT. THAT WAS THE BEST DANCE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO.

Rickrolled by D*C twice in one day was a thing of complete beauty. So was dancing to it with a bunch of people I absolutely adore.

<3 YOU GUYS.

(Best lines of the weekends: "I LOVE LINES!", "Don't be that guy." and *insert insanely disgusted noise here*)

TEH CON OF DRAGONZ.

So this weekend was the weekend I realized, "Shit, Dragon*Con is only four months away and I have ONE out of SIX costumes completed!"

(TWO out of SEVEN if I bring my Little Sister costume! :D)

(THREE out of EIGHT if you count the Stand by Me boys -- but that's a white t-shirt and jeans!)

And the only reason one is completed is because it was a costume I wore last year: Peter McVries. BIG HEARTS.

As for the other five...

SHMI SKYWALKER (dead/zombified): I'm waffling on this one because there is a good one or two characters I'm thinking I might want to try my hand at instead, but I'm not sure yet... this is why I haven't started this costume yet.

MAID MARIAN: I have the nightgown and I have a pair of slippers to shuffle around in. But you know in the movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure where Pee Wee saves all the animals from the burning pet store and he keeps passing the snakes and sneering at them and procrastinating with them? That's me with this cloak. "I'M SEW HIAPPY~!"

ELLIOT REID: I haven't done anything with this because I have no idea if we're still doing it or not. XD (ARE WE? :OOOO)

TENEL KA: I wanted to do a sort of effed up hybrid of ROYAL OVERDONE GOWN/ARMOR OF DOOM. But I have this idea floating in my head of a dress. It's dark blue and all queenly and shit. But the idea for the cloak/capelet thing I have going in my head is gonna kick ass if I can get it to work... so I think QUEENLY DRESSAGE OF DOOM will be what I bring. It'll match KYLE'S ROYAL ALLANA <333 -- and hopefully be fun with Ben's/Caedus/Jaina's, etc. XD I'll most likely bring the Tempest cover TK as a backup as well.

LISEY LANDON: OH LISEY. I sat down to start work on this over the weekend and I kind of stared at it. Cause my first order of business is to turn the picture under the cut below into a garland I can basically wear like a boa that reflects the floral fucking awesomeness of BOO'YA MOON. And it will be slow and tedious but it must be done cause omg.

They are just sitting on the table like this like, LOL GLUE ME YOU STUPID TWERP. )

So that's where I stand. Four months. Less than four months. :O

DeeCeeOhOcho.

LOL, this is what we have so far on cosplay.com for D*C '08 Star Wars-wise. I have a feeling this thread will be a long, multi-page ramble where the EU dorks take over like usual -- by the time D*C rolls around. XDDDDD

For TK, I'm thinking either a Queenie-ish dress or maybe a royal looking battle-type outfit (like the idea of Padme's crimson TPM outfit). You know, regal but battle-ready and hot hot hot. DECISIONS DECISIONS. D:

OMG SCHEDULING MONTHS IN ADVANCE. I think this is what I'm looking at.

FRIDAY: morning, Lisey Landon (Stephen King's Lisey's Story); evening, Peter McVries (Stephen King's The Long Walk) -- TLW at night = bullet holes will be easier to have on at night AFTER other costumes, plus, better picture ops. XD

SATURDAY: morning, whatever Tenel Ka I bring/make (Star Wars EU)???; evening, bloody!Shmi Skywalker (DEAD STAR WARS CHARACTERS)

SUNDAY: morning, Little Sister (Bioshock)???; evening, Maid Marian (Robin Hood: Men In Tights)

I'm not sure about Sunday -- it depends on if [livejournal.com profile] see_aphy_be brings a SPLICER COSTUME <3 and it also depends on the Masquerade.

Also, late Thursday night I might walk around dressed as Chris Chambers with Ashley as Gordie Lachance (you can totally swipe my McVries backpack for Gordie XD). Cause that's closet cosplay at it's awesomest and finest. XD

AND SCRUBS! Erin, Ronnie, omg! Are we still planning on doing this. YES YES PLZ? Scrubs are cheap at Wal-Mart! MUAHAH~


(PETER MCVRIES/CHRIS CHAMBERS = OTP.)

3.) Peter McVries -- Stephen King - The Long Walk
4.) Elliot Reid -- Scrubs (if Jeremy, Ronnie, Jason and Erin want to still do it XD)
5.) Lisey Landon -- Stephen King - Lisey's Story (with a teh King GROUP O' DOOM!)
6.) Shmi Skywalker, ZOMBIFIED! -- Star Wars, THE DEATH STARS

And I've updated The Death Stars site -- so if you want to be a zombified SW character at D*C next year, come on over and join the dead dark side! :O
