Here are some DragonCon pictures while I wait for people to leave the kitchen so I can heat my lunch up without unwanted social interaction!
Carol was on the banners this year and the banners ALREADY make me emotional every year, so I was double emotional this year.
Obligatory.
I’ve had a rough month or so and my friends are very good people who were there for me through it and continue to be way better than I deserve. I wish we could see each other more than twice a year :\ (Also, Thursday night is Mai-tais night and it was also the drunkest I was all con, which might be a new record. IN MY DEFENSE, people kept pouring more of the communal drinks into my cup.)
The first draft of this t-shirt had a word misspelled! This one did not. I adore this shirt--I was going for a retro-y vibe and between finding a perfectly faded shirt as the base and figuring out a technique that makes the paint seem like it’s chipping away, I think I managed to nail it.
I livetweeted Travis and Clint’s Friday panel with #mcelroyqanda on Twitter. It was delightful.
The Supernormal live show was ALSO delightful and I am so excited for the rest of the world to hear it.
On Saturday we did some Grishaverse cosplay! I...did not get any really good pictures of my whole Nina costume, alas.
It’s Upsy, your lifting friend!
IF YOU ARE UNAWARE, there’s like, an entire cult surrounding the old carpet at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta. It was ugly but memorable and we’re all obsessed with it now, even though it’s been out for three or four years at this point. People make costumes from fabric with the pattern, they make regular clothes from it. It’s EVERYWHERE. This year, the Marriott had a chocolate cake with the carpet pattern. It sold out Thursday through Saturday. (DragonCon is amazing but everyone there is fucking crazy.) (I’m including myself in this.)
I already reblogged some pictures from @charmingpplincardigans of the Good Omens cosplay we did with @lisapizza but here’s a good one of the three of us on the Ferris Wheel after the First Annual Revival of Great Comet on a Ferris Wheel, which was a dang good time. (There MAY be video on Twitter of us singing along to the “The Duel.”)
It was a good con! I really needed it, especially after missing last year. I love all my friends very much, and also the 100,000 weirdo members of my insane extended con family who do things like hold a wake for the cardboard cut out of a FedEx man.
