After I got introduced to my awesome roomates, we kind of just wandered around for the first day to see what all was going on in the hotel. I went to a Firefly panel, even though I had never seen a single episode of Firefly, and surprisingly enjoyed it, especially the one with Morena Baccarin(top picture). :) Love her sooo much!! She plays Anna in the 2009 remake of V(bottom picture). I ended up getting her autograph, and pretty much feinting in the process. I also got the autographs of James and Oliver Phelps(the Weasley twins from Harry Potter), but when I got their autographs, everything was all fine-and-dandy, no almost feinting incidents. Lol :)
I donated blood and got an awesome t-shirt for doing so. The stupid thing I did afterwards was walk up 7 stories worth of stares so I wouldn't have to deal with the crowded elevators. ugh. Almost died doing that. Then, when I got up to the room, no one was there. And I had no key, so I sat outside the room for about an hour or so. After I donated blood and went to the two firefly panels, I mainly just went around with Lori and Ashlyn(the two people I came down to Georgia with) and took some pictures with some awesome cos-players(people who dress up). And I also got two AWESOME hats while there, a Pikachu hat and a Gir hat, because for some unknown reason, my ginger hair wouldn't listen to me..so i got some hats to fix the problem. :) Down below are a bunch of my photos from that weekend.
Officer Jenny! This is most definitely my favorite picture!!

It annoyed me that some people cos-played as people who really didn't belong at Dragon*Con...and this was one of them people...but this was too cool NOT to get a picture. :)
Batman & Batgirl...the ultimate duo.
Kick-ass with a camera....beware!!
This is the highlight of my weekend. I saw them from my hotel balcony, but by the time I went down to look for them, they were gone. Last night at Dragon*Con...I found them!!! :-)
I will definitely do everything in my power to go back next year. Hopefully this time I can get a picture with Morena Baccarin, and hopefully Laura Vandervoort won't cancel a week before Dragon*Con. :)
Great pics, Tyler! Looks like such a fun time! (Other than the massive blood loss + physical exertion). I love the UP costume!
ReplyDeleteNot gonna lie, Dragon Con could maybesortakinda sound cool. Maybe. =) Sounds like you had a lot of fun, and you got some awesome pictures. I'm totally stealing the pikachu hat, by the way. =D
