Aside from being verbally assaulted upon getting into the car, Dragon Con was great.
We got down Thursday, I got my voucher to reserve my room for next year, getting our badges took about 2 minutes, and we met Laura A for dinner at Truva. One not-so-shiny thing: We were unpacking our stuff, and Ben goes, "...Where is our bag of shoes?" In our bedroom, of course. So we ended up getting a ride out to a store to buy new Doc Martens Friday morning.
Friday I went to the Science of Pacific Rim panel (which was standing room only) and handed out Shatterdome ATL fliers to people as they left. Then food and back to our room to get into costumes for the meetup. The meetup went well.
As we were heading back to our room, there were some costume malfunctions, so we re-hot-glued everything. We will possibly take off all the straps and contact-cement them down for future versions, or I'll find a hi-temp hot glue gun.
Saturday we went to the dealers room during the parade (best idea). We didn't pick up much, just some posters and a couple Gundam model kits. After lunch, we got back into our costumes and went to the Marriott to stand around and look pretty.
Sunday I went to the Late Show and stayed for the Evanna Lynch & Scarlett Byrne panel. Evanna is seriously Luna Lovegood in reality, it is adorable. Then I read as part of Broad Universe, then tried to promote the Helsinki in 2017 WorldCon bid. Having to explain what WorldCon is makes it kinda hard to get interest. I dropped off some candy and badge ribbons at the SFWA table before trekking to the Westin for a panel that ended up being mostly about Angel rather than Agents of SHIELD.
As is traditional, we got takeout (sushi this time) and drank heavily while watching the Masquerade on DCTV in our room.
Monday we headed out a bit after noon. Ben and I went through the comic artist alley briefly first. Since Asshole was driving and making it difficult to have a conversation with the front seat passenger over the road noise and music, Ben and I spent a couple hours talking Shatterdome stuff (mostly things I need to do but like bouncing off other people first).
We got home just as our catsitter was leaving.
