*changes up the wording for a special thread*
Ladies and gentermens, this weekend was DragonCon. I have a ridiculous number of pictures to share, and I'm hoping everyone else does as well. I know more than one person took pics that I want a copy of very badly, so I hope they will all post here.
If you were not fortunate enough to be there with us, post a bunch of pictures anyway! I hope you all got up to something fun, and we missed everyone who couldn't make it.
How to post images here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=5&t=29479
(Short version: Image must be hosted somewhere on the internet and all you need is the URL. Photobucket, imageshack, and flickr are your friends. See above-linked thread for further details, or click 'reply with quote' to see how others have done it.)
Also, PLEASE NOTE: the tutorial thread is an excellent resource and we don't want it to get overloaded and weighed down. Please test your image posts in one of the many 'test' threads scattered over the board, particularly out of the way in troll country, or start your own to help keep the tutorial nice and easy to load.

Kicking it off.
Magda was totally excited to see Mark Shepard in the Marriot lobby. When she finally got the guts up to go talk to him, he was on the phone, but once he was done he came over to us and as soon as she said she was there from Australia and on his Myspace friends he said "Yeah, I know exactly who you are." and he was just so lovely to us, even though he had gotten practically no sleep.
We went to the Vortex (which was a hella long walk and I don't ever want to do it again, but they had the best burgers I've ever tasted) and I met the 76th's 'sasquach' Zephyr, who was awesome.
And those are the best pics I have from the first day, so I'll leave it at that while I sort through all the rest of them. Don't worry, many more are coming, and I just know that plenty of people are ready to share 
(Thanks Steamer!)

Awww, thanks MsG. Just so you all know, she is also way hot and fun to hang out with, and it's probably thanks to her that we got as much done as we did, since everyone else would have gladly babbled the whole con away.
Here I go again!
My lovely adoptive sisters on Friday morning:
The selfsame at the Hard Rock Cafe:
Engie is a rock star
I'm in a cute Aussie's lap! Not the one I may have had in mind, but still...
(somewhere out there is a pic of us giggling in bed together, which could have close to the same description 
)
And look, we found a kitten!!!
And this is Sister's awsome Zoe gun
I don't think I actually got a picture of Sister. I am sad.
I did get a pic of MsG, though! (well, I got more than one, but this is the first one at the Friday room party)
This woman was really cool; best Zoe costume of the con
And this is Gibbs with his excellent Badger costume on. Even has the diamond (there was a bit of talk about finding a Sparten and seeing if his diamond was truly the size of a testicle, but I don't think that went anywhere.)
He had an equally excellent Romo costume, which I think I have a picture of somewhere.
I think that's the end of Friday pics. Sorting through Saturday now 
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
A troll's hair is still pointy, even when it's wearing a hat.

HUGS Thanks Rose...and I've decided that ALL your pictures are fine. ( and I do mean all so even those ones I thought might not be ok are fine, if you want to post them)
Seriously I will post some of you as Saffron, but I do have to give the guys at least a warning so they make sure to have a clear bunk nearby or at least a defibrilator....

Awesome pictures, Rose - And I can fill in one gap. The woman in the Zoe costume is EienAi, who posts both here and at serenitymovie.

I know this because she made the most awesome Zoe funeral dress ever for last year's D*C.
I can't wait to see more pictures!!!

Ah she was fantastic and her costume was soooo good:) I bet she looked great in the funeral dress.

Yay! Thanks, Mav! She told me who she was and it just flew straight out of my head.
Okay, y'all ready for Saturday? I seem to have more pics with every day that goes by
Here's my Saffron-esque look. MsG has the one of the Mal passed out at my feet (or actually my knees, since that was the only way to get us both in the picture)
The Flying Spagetti Monster touched me with her noodly apendege
This may explain why I couldn't resist buying a pirate hat the following day.
A cool shot I got of the Marriot before being kicked out for tossing half business cards over the railing (long story, will be told later and in blogs, I'm sure)
The first picture I took of Navy's friend Michael (NavySeils is also Michael, and eventually this Michael was our auxiliary backup Michael) giving Zephyr a hug while we waited for MsG and Canter to be superheroes and get us un kicked out of the Mariott
I could so not resist once he jumped; it was such a cute yet unsettling pic.
Okay, once let back into the Mariott I talked with ArtCat and her friends. That's her in the blue dress. The orange shirted one is NaughtyMan, the guy on the far right is anotherfireflyfan, who was totally awesome (I'd never gotten to talk to him before then, and actually didn't see him for the rest of the con, which made me sad) The red hatted guy is ArtCat's brother, whose name escapes me right now, and I also can't remember the woman with the fabulous brown coat. Speaking of which, I missed getting pictures of Aiken in his swoon-worthy coat and Mal pistol, but I'm sure someone got it.
Anyway, here are VeX, Magda, and StinkingRose at the shindig with their fans
I left the shindig pretty early because it was so dark and crowded in there, but the dresses and costumes were certainly a sight.
On our way from the shindig to another room party, we saw some Halo soldiers. I think this is the only pic Seils actually wanted to be in, and he still looks uncomfortable. Oh well.
Speaking of Seils (he is going to hate me so much by the time this thread is over) he made several claims that he didn't drink, so the one time he did I couldn't resist catching him. That's Babywiththepower in the background.
Even I found myself sampling several forms of alchohol, none of which I could get past the first sip of. Except perhaps the Smirnoff Ice; that wasn't bad, but I still didn't have more than a sip of it because I still felt a burn in my throat. Apparently this makes me some kind of freak.
Magda being cute at the room party
Double the cuteness!
I couldn't resist this one
And Lila looked adoreable sprwaled out, so I had to have a pic of that, too
Though starting to get used to hugs, Seils (Navy) still didn't like much contact, and nearly died when I did this:
In fact, he went and hid in the corner for the rest of the party
The mentioned Romo costume:

you got some great pics Rose. We are going to have to trade cd's :)
Yes I have several awesome shots of Rose in the Saffron gear and several of them with a large gun and a wicked grin:)
Poor Jimi of course he look about passed out. He barely slept, or ate, or anything...he's such an angel:)
