DragonCon2011 Sun. Day 3

First off, let me whine about how weird it is to blog via J-baby's laptop.  My desktop is all the way on the other side of the house, and I'm so comfy on the sofa, watching a classic movie on Netflix.  Anyway, here are the sunday pictures.  J-baby and I dressed up Steampunk, so the first pic is of my cutey!

He's so cute!!!

One of the speakers of the Steampunk panel

A very awesome prop

So many lovely outfits

I want her corset!!

Another speaker

A back injury inspired her outfit!  Cool!

The panel was interesting- and a few of the things they mentioned to do, we had already done with our costumes!  Unfortunately, it was so hot and humid, we could only stay in our outfits for about an hour, before we crawled back to the Sheraton and changed!

Sunday was definitely Steampunk day, wasn't it?  More later!

DragonCon 2011 Day2 cont.

Ok, if I blog just one thing tonight, it has to be this pic.  As a surprise for J-baby, I payed for a Froggy Photo with Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day!  The moment really passed to quickly, and I am totally kicking myself now for not actually "speaking" with them.  In fact, our little one-on-one random encounter with Garrett Wang that same day totally topped this, but still, I will always have this picture!  And maybe the next time we do this, I will grow a pair and say "Hi!"

DragonCon 2011, Day 2 cont.

Saturday was a blast!  Here are more pictures!!!

Look out!  A Gazebo!!!

Yes, you know your home when you run across live action dungeons and dragons players!  OMG a Gazebo!!!

*snicker*

Darn, blurry kitty

Doesn't she look cool?

Dr. Horrible!

Awww, DragonCon is exhausting

EEEIIIIII

A true Trekkie

Ok, I was so shocked and amazed, I had to run up to the guy and beg him to keep his shirt off!  The guy laughed and said he'd been waiting his entire life for a woman to say that to him.  J-baby and I were waiting around for our next event, and we see this guy in a fish-net shirt.  Another nerd asked for his picture, and that's when I had my geeky moment. LOL

And on with more random shots!!!

Creepy

XENA!!!

Inspector Gadget!  Kinda looks like a guy I work with....

Access!!

And here we found the hidden door to an access tunnel!  Er....hamster tunnel...  Ok, I'm gonna fess up now...I might have mixed a few of the saturday pictures with sunday pictures.  And I have no recollection of taking monday pictures.  Oh well, I'm over it.  More pics to come!

From the tunnel!

WOW

WOW Again

Must follow tail!!!

Ok, I know this guy is from some video game, and he kills you and all, but I just had to follow him around the con!  The tail!!!  The TAIL!!!

OH SHIT....

Jareth from Labrynth!!!  And little Toby!!!

It's Abby from NCIS!!  Where's the crime scene?!  Hell, where's Gibbs?!

Dude, so many things from my childhood, and then things from my adulthood, and it all mixes into some weird pile of awesomeness!!!!

And down this tunnel.....

Jem!!!!

We somehow found ourselves with the twins again, and had to get food!!!  Even in the food court, there were tons of cosplayers!  I never wanted to leave!!!

Oh the twins!!!

Ok, it's not just about the costumes...It's also about the wheels!!

Food: check, awesome panels: check, random encounter with famous person: check, J-baby is good!

Chewie!!

Crawling back to the hotel, we run into a random Star Trek chick, and Chewie!  Hugs, and off to bed!  Guh, and still Sunday and Monday to go!!!!!!!

DragonCon 2011 Sat. cont.

One of the things that J-baby and I have in common is our love of books- and Sir Terry Pratchett!  There was a panel to discuss his works, and we had to go!

Cool staff!  Is he...?

YES!!!  THE DEATH OF RATS!!!!

In my opinion, the BEST cosplay ever!  With light up eyes!!!  Dude!!!!

Random shot at the Light Fantastic Panel

EEEiiiiii

Ok, after this awesome little panel, J-baby and I ran to go into the Guild panel!  And then we had to wait in line...again....

A Dr. Horrible cosplayer!

A lot of people for the Guild panel

The girls from The Guild!!!!

This panel rocked!  It starred the lovely Amy Okuda, Felicia Day, & Robin Thorsen!!!  They were funny and loved to see cosplayers of their characters.

Then guess what we did?  Yup, got back in line for the Star Trek:  Next Generation panel!  Sheesh!!!!

This line was LONG

The twins joined us for this panel.  Must hide from the sun!!!!

Booo!  So far away!!!

One major thing I learned was this:  Don't plan two must see panels back to back, because lines get long.  I will know better for 2013.  Also, don't let J-baby drag his feet!

Glad we made it to this panel though, because it had Garret Wang directing (oh course!!!), Wil Wheaton (Wesly Crusher), Brent Spiner (it's "spine" r, aka Data), and Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher!!).  Brent Spiner tweeted something funny before the con.  Something along the lines of, "heading to dragoncon with my son, Wil Wheaton, and his mother, Gates McFadden.  He was funny in person- and brownie points for wearing a pink shirt!

DragonCon 2011 Sat., Sept.3, Day 2 cont.

Bad guys from movies!

No idea, just thought she looked cool

Note:  If any non-existent reader sees a pic and recognizes themselves, or a friend, feel free to let me know.  I will update that pic, and give full credit to where it is due!  I can't wait for DragonCon in two years!!!

Steampunk guitars!!!
