Wheeee! Dragon*Con ROOLZ! 3 years & counting!
First of all...THANK YOU **HASUFEL** FOR THE SUUUUPER SHIIIINY LAMINATED SERENITY NAME BADGES!!! They are awesome & thanks so much for taking the time to make them AND distribute them!
What I learned THIS YEAR at D*C:
~ Staying in the Marriott will be the only option from here on out. We could go up & rest whenever we got tired & did not have to walk 4 blocks to do it, we could take all the junk we'd accumulated up to the room & not have to carry it around in bags all day & the little cafe in the lobby had fresh fruit, croissants & LATTES!!! WOOO HOOO! No treks to Starbucks for us!
~ Being 6 months pregnant did NOT wear me out nearly as much as I thought it would! Although my feet were a might swoll at 3 in the AM every evening when we finally retired!
~ Deep throating Twinkies (third year for this too!) fed to me by 'Hey Joe' in the Con Suite is my favorite D*C tradition ever!
~ Kevin Sorbo is taaaaall....and purrrrty....& has big strong hands....ahem, & as someone has already said, very, VERY funny! 
~ So's Marina Sirtis!!! Damn that woman was a hoot. And beeeyooootifull.
~ I adore Lavar Burton more now than I did before the con, if that's possible. The man is as beautiful on the INSIDE as he is on the outside.
~ Although the 'Serenity/Firefly' panels we attended were great, nothing beats a panel with Nathan Fillion at the helm. NOTHING.
~ Being the only sober person watching a bunch of drunk people singing karaoke is fuuun. First timer here. Some of them were REALLY good!
~ In literally carrying a certain celeb to her hotel room after a loooong evening of many, many drinkies, we learned she's apparently made of lead & not nearly as light as she looks. 
Weirdest. Night. EVAH!!!
~ Timmy's Lesson's in Nature:
1. Avoid snakes
2. Aim when cow tipping
3. Avoid rabid animals

Oh, BC, I'm STILL waiting for that phone call about the party....
Apparently one of a few I managed to miss this year!!! I kept checking out the room numbers I was given, but no one was there...guess I was a little too much of an early bird.
Oh, and glad to see we converted Joe over as well...I knew I'd have to go annoy Captain Sisko sometime this year after last years' events, but he came to me instead....hehehe....he had me doing the Kaylee Strawberry Bite (TM), and was fanning my cleavage while I was doing it... Gotta love D*C
(But more with the communicating of parties next year, ya all! Missing all but one really made me feel more my age than if I had gone to them and exhausted myself!)

I'm with ya on that Shinyhappyklin! While early bed helped with enjoying the days (no hangover = happier BayBreeze), I felt "out of the loop" and like an old poop (hey, I rhymed!). Not gonna make that mistake again! Next year I'm gonna hit me some parties! And I wanna play the "Shiny" drinking game!

Oh, and being there with 16 year old daughter helped with the "no late-night partying" thing. Had to set a good example, right? >>waves to Litwolf - "Hi sweetie!"<<
But next year..............................

I would like to know more about these parties next year as well. You guys are all so great! So next year please keep in mind your ShinyGoddess so that she may hang out with you!
Also, Thanks to the table that let me stand on their chair to find my people. Being tiny does have some disadvantages.
Thanks for the strawberry too. It was Great. I got to do the whole Kaylee bit!
I also want to say that girls in short skirts should NOT stand so close to the glass walls seperating floors at the marriott. Unless they mean to show EVERYTHING! LOL
Shinygoddess...HEY so does this mean in the drinking game, if someone were to call out to me, they have to drink??? Hee Hee... plotting evil plans for next year.

..
The "plan" for next year, if at all possible, was suggested by Browncoat1. "Browncoat Floor". anyway we can get everybody on the same floor at the party hotel? Hang Browncoat flags off the balconies?

-Don't get a flat tire in Atlanta on a holiday - all the tire stores are closed.
-That I need dragonfly wings for next year!
-That men revert to 8 year olds and buy the stupedist stuff - I mean just where are you going to use playing cards with metal edges that cut people when thrown?
-That City Cafe has the best big damn cake!
-That getting interviewed for a documentary is really fun!
-That getting your face painted isn't just for kids!
-That if you give Morena a gift and she wears it, it's the shiniest feeling! Especially when she wears it the next day too!
River - Doesn't matter. It'll still be there... waiting...

-That you can make friends about every place.
- You need a day to recover, and another to remember what you are recovering from.
- Shiny chinese dresses look nice but you cannot do the CottonEyeJoe dance in them.
*waves to Jamie* I have some pics for you, i'll email you about them.
I also have pics of XanderLHarris,CallMeSerenity, and SerenityMeiMei if they want to see themselves in my shiny pictures.
Keep shiny!
