Off to Atlanta… and eventually Dragon*con

I’m heading off to Atlanta tonight to spend a couple days with my cousin there and then I’ll be meeting up with the rest of HCC at Dragon*con (minus Char, boo).

I’ve been running around like a madwoman trying to get everything finished and packed. I spent all last week cramming to finish dance costumes in time for our photoshoot and then I spent all weekend working, so I haven’t really done any prep for D*C. Which is just as well because I can’t fit anything else into my suitcase!

I’m bringing Fauna, my pirate costume, and my steampunk and that’s seriously all I can fit. I have the world’s largest lego set for my nephews that is eating up 1/4 of my suitcase and a bunch of wine for gifts. Add in my crossbow and I barely had room to fit in muggle clothes.

I can’t wait to see TSA tear apart my suitcase to get to the crossbow. >.<

My only goal is to hang out with lots of people at D*C so if you’re going, let’s meet up!

WonderCon 2009

I had a lot of fun at WonderCon! Despite scrambling to finish our fairy costumes in a week, we weren’t that stressed. We wore steampunk costumes on Saturday and the Sleeping Beauty fairies on Sunday. We didn’t attend a single panel and spent all the time just wandering around seeing people and browsing the dealers hall.

I was so glad to have been able to see just about everyone we knew there and even spend time with them! Thanks to people who braved our panel and sorry it was so held back on the AV front. I’ll try to remember to bring my laptop next time so we’re not stuck with the equipment there.

The fairies were so fun to wear! More photos by Ziggy.

Steampunk photos!

kuronosho claimed to be the last one to post his photos but he forgot to count me, I am way behind the curve on this one. I’ve been busy making kiddie costumes. I think my favorite one this year was Bonta-kun for Nancy and Bry’s 1 year old baby. =D

Anyways, I’m sure everyone’s seen these already so sorry! Ed Pingol posted preview shots of our steampunk photoshoot and they look epic!!! (I’m actually kind of terrified to wear my costume again cause it really doesn’t look this good IRL. ^^; )

I present C.R.U.D. (Coalition of Rather Unusual Denizens)…
