27angel Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I've seen several people on the forums talk about this year's Dragon Con. I know that I am excited about it and thought others might be also. So, I am starting this thread for people who are attending Dragon Con to talk amongst themselves. I'd love to hear what everyone is planning on doing while at the con.

superjenni Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I am going! 5th year in a row. Our panels are really varied from year to year. A lot of costuming panels. Usually the Friday night Costume contest/Saturday masquerade. A few big celebrity panels. Umm last year we went to some weapons and video game stuff. We mostly just hotel hop at night. Thursday night we're going to The Spence since I'm a big Top Chef nerd. Quote Link to comment
katmilby Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm going! I'll be splitting my time between the Alternate History and Costuming tracks. This is my 2nd year at Dragon Con, but my first year with costumes - so excited! Quote Link to comment
Anim07734 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 This will be my 2nd year and, honestly, I'm only going back because I found a group to costume with. Last year there were far too many people for the space available and I kept going back to my room to relax before I punched someone for stopping in front of me in narrow hallway. Probably going to stick to the costume and gaming areas again, though I still have to take a look at the panels and decide if any interest me. Mostly just looking forward to having decent costumes this year. Quote Anim07734; God of Death in Training Tiefling Assassin and Artificer Maxim 70: Failure is not an option. It is mandatory.

Mostly just looking forward to having decent costumes this year.I have the same problems with the crowds. I don't go wandering unless I am surrounded by my group of friends who know that I don't like crowds. I plan to spend quite a lot of my day time in the gaming hall playing Pathfinder. Evenings/Nights will be hotel hopping to see costumes and be seen in costume. I don't usually stay out as long as the rest of my friends though (once again because of the crowds.)

superjenni Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hopefully moving the vendors will help. It's insane how much the crowds have grown in the past 2-3 years. The first year I went it was pretty easy going. Quote Link to comment

superjenni Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yay! Less than 24 hours until my flight!! Is everyone ready? Quote Link to comment
Anim07734 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm as ready as I'm going to be. Still trying to put the finishing touches on costumes, should have 3-4 for the weekend depending on what I can find in the dealer room to finish my Browncoat.

humanperson832 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I think I saw some Dragon Con folks walking down the street when I was driving home from work today! I'm going to the beach tomorrow, but I hope you guys have fun! Quote Link to comment
Anim07734 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hope everyone had fun. Walking around in costume was a blast, but I didn't get many pictures, so I'm hoping you all can share some. ;-) Quote Anim07734; God of Death in Training Tiefling Assassin and Artificer Maxim 70: Failure is not an option.

superjenni Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I never take pictures anymore. I figure the costumes I like will end up on the internet somewhere in far higher quality than I could take! But exciting news. Our jawa costumes got featured as the main pictures on blastr. I can't believe how much fun it was. We couldn't walk 3 feet without someone yelling "jawas" "come here jawas" "i want my picture with the jawas". http://www.blastr.com/2013-9-5/50-awesome-cosplay-pics-dragon-con-2013 Quote Link to comment
