This was my third Dragon*Con, and easily was the best one. New friends, lots of celebrities, new SUIT, and much more. I think I balanced out suiting and non-suiting well this year. I spent some time in 'face-costumes' (aka cosplaying as a person) this year. I enjoyed it thoroughly, not only because it was OMG not nearly as hot... but also you can talk to people, use your face for expressions (which I do in suit anyways. Durr.) and you can easily costume longer. I was in my usual X-Men costume, and this year I tried out being a JEDI.
Some of you read my last post in which I was craving a new fandom. I believe I have found it. Not only are Star Wars costumes fun and easy to obtain for cheap, but with new games/movies/and TV series on the horizon... it's still a living and breathing fandom. I even wound up buying a Master Replica lightsaber for fairly cheap.
SO THE CON. Right. I met the main dude from BSG, the cheerleader from Heroes, Sean Astin (Samwise Gamgee) from Lord of the Rings, and I saw countless others. ADAM WEST, the kid Anakin from Episode I, James Hong... the list goes on. That's the best part of D*C, how accessible the celebrities are. My roomies were awesome. Shoutouts to

blaez, zelldragon, fauxpawroo, colley, crssafox & co, and Brian! In panel news... Of course, as usual, I saw Danger Woman. That bitch is NUTS. I love it. I saw some pompous guy (in a panel supposed to be a lively discussion among everyone) tell his opinions about animation and not let anyone else speak, and I saw a nice panel by Sean Astin about his experiences working on LotR.
Also, I suited my new suits Dodger and Tartuffe!

Glad you had fun. I would LOVE to go to one of these. I would get a Battle Royale group together XD
Is that the green Luke lightsaber?
question: does the trunk not get in the way of vision a bit?
I'm finding myself looking out of the one eye on my new one, as I have pretty limited vision if I try and look out of both! Means I have to think about where the head's looking and not where I'm looking :P
HOLY SHIT COOKIE MONSTER.
I see you had a great time!
If I ever get to go to DC I will have to go as Darth Pepto (the pink sith) It's a running joke that a friend of mine and I had years ago...oh good times.
Tarteeee looks adorable!! Glad to see you had fun!
Tartuffe as a Jedi is a win!!
(sean austin, the actor?)

THE VINTAGE LOOK
The fuck is going on here.
LJ does that with youtube videos, too.
I've seen it happen on my friends list.
Great shots!
He is supposed to be a teenager, so hence the younger look. But nooo to being a baby. I don't see it at all.
