I'm very pumped up!

This will be my second D*C so I guess I'm a veteran now?

BTW KidsNeedToRead will have a fan table there this year thanks to Michael Dougherty of the fan film, Browncoats:Redemption.

We plan to have a fantastic time.

With Leonard Nimoy, Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Felicia Day and now Patrick Stewart on the roster, I will be able to die a happy fan-girl after Dragon*Con this year.

Hoping a friend of mine is there, he hosts the KILTS AND CORSETS party.

I'll have my kilt, my full length formal that looks like a cross between Mal and Neo, and a series of offensive T shirts, each day more offensive than the last.

It's getting hard to find T shirts that piss off EVERYONE, but I'm managing.

Anybody need a flop for the weekend?

Mine had to back out due to financial upheaval (go figure), so I've got a $1,000 room and no one to share it with. It's in the Hilton. Anybody here still in need of lodging? Drop me a line here or a PM.

I'll be there - my second year.

I guess last year I was just spoiled but I remain a bit disappointed about how few BDHs are there this year. I want Jewel again, gorramit - and Nathan and Morena having another big makeout session and Alan too...

Still, I'm psyched about Patrick Stewart being there.

I can easily take three other people, and I can probably max out at four. Any more than that and I start catching hell from the hotel staff when they start catching it from the state fire marshal. Are you planning on your whole clan attending?

That depends. I have "guest of" badges for them. Travel and hotel are the only issue. They're good kids, and I don't hold any loud orgies (at least not in the room I sleep in).

Let's keep it in mind, but I don't want to screw MikeWilliamson out of a flop if he really needs one. More and more people have announced on LJ that they have to bow out due to money concerns, though. I'm starting to wonder, is ANYBODY going to make it this year?? :P

I gots me a question. What kind of vendors are there usually? I've been waitin' forever for Paizo.com to get stocked on their "Wash Lives" shirts from Ming-Ling Enterprises ( http://paizo.com/store/apparel/tShirts/mingLingEnterprises/v5748btpy80
76&source=search) but there is never any news as to when new shirts will be coming in. Could someone be on the lookout for those for me at DragonCon? We could arrange you buying one for me and I'd pay ya the shipping and all to get it to me.

I know it's probably a lot to ask, but let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks!

I'm wondering if anyone here would like to split the photo-op price of $200 with me for a picture with Patrick Stewart. The presales went up on Froggy's website, and I kinda balked at the price, but $100 would be doable. FYI, only 2 people in the picture are allowed, each would get an 8x10 printout, and one would get the digital copy (I assume we can e-mail one another so both parties would have a copy).

I'm a full-time struggling writer, dude. Plus, although I could probably scrape together flight money, the cost of entry/accommodation etc as well is a big no-no.

I couldn't believe the price myself, but I think they're expecting people to split it since they include the digital print and 2 printouts in the price. Still, the next closest person is at $60.

Thursday, July 2, 2009 7:28 PM

I can't believe they got Patrick to show up at all.. he's not exactly fan of cons. Maybe his stable bills got to him and he agreed so he could rake a bit in. Horse ownership is very spendy
