Dragon*Con 2009 - Day 2

omg, sorry I haven't posted the second update. I meant to get these all over at once and then work was just overwhelming with all the stuff I needed to do after being out for pretty much 2 weeks. Then I got distracted by Beatles Rock Band....

BUT ANYWAY!

DRAGON*CON DAY 2!!!!!

Set the alarm on Saturday so we could get up and watch the parade! The Dragon*Con parade is a chance for costumers to show off their favorite fandom and march through the streets of Atlanta. Everything from Trekkers to Losties, to Stargate Marines to Aliens and Predators, and all the Steampunk you can eat. Crazy stuff. jellibean represented in her deckhand outfit. The modded cars were really cool too - there was a pirate ship, a Beyond-Thunderdome looking truck with a machine gun in the back, and a Klingon bird of prey.

After the parade ended, we quickly headed down to the hotels to get in line for the Battlestar Galactica panel. jellibean switched places with faeriesfolly (because Morgan has not seen BSG! Can you believe this? tsk tsk) so she could avoid major spoilers. The panel included Michael "Tigh" Hogan, Mary "Roslin" McDonnell, Michael "Sam" Trucco, Allessandro "Gaeta" Juliani, Kate "Ellen" Vernon, and Luciana "Kat" Carro. Some of the questions were of the painful fanboy *headdesk* type ("Would you vote for Laura Roslin if she ran for President of the United States?" "If all that stuff in season 3 had never happened, how do you think the show would have ended?") but the cast did a good job of handling them all. My favorite question was the "what was your favorite line you got to say" - Hogan went with "It's in the FRAKKIN' SHIP!" and McDonnell bellowed "I'm coming for ALL OF YOU!" and Carro went with the "Starbuck, my cup runneth dry"...

Then someone got the mic and asked "What happened to that really hot guy that played the Chief?" and everyone turned around and saw it was Aaron Douglas! The cast played along, of course, with lots of "hm...no don't know who you're talking about" but Douglas hopped up on stage and took a few questions even though he wasn't officially there.

DragonCon 2009 - Day 3 & 4

Well, I wore Morgan out and by Sunday morning, she needed to give her tootsies some TLC. Being Dr Saunders is SRS BZNS and her toes were not quite ready for the job. So I let her hang out in the room and take care of her feet while I played around in the hotels.

For Sunday, I put on my khaki pants, green tank top, and Yoda backpack - yes, my super-ghetto Luke-in-Training "costume" (I use that term VERY loosely).

I don't remember how it happened, but I ended up at the Walk of Fame. Felicia was there and I decided that this was it, this was going to be the day I got her autograph!!!! I got in the loooooong line and waited (did I mention she was the queen of DC? Because she was, once again she was one of the few with a long wait - I think Tom Felton and James Marsters were here only equals that day).

Anyway, I had my Froggy photo from the day before in my little Yoda folder. I was feeling pretty good. People kept walking by and saying "whose line is this?" and we'd all say "Felicia Day!!!!!" like happy fanboys and girls. They would respond with a "who?" and then we'd take their DragonCon badges away and have them escorted out and then we'd all exclaim a different thing - "DR HORRIBLE!" "THE GUILD!" "BUFFY!" "GEEK GODDESS!" (that last one was ususally me). The lady behind me in line was very chatty and nice, telling me about how her husband and her watch The Guild and use it as a way of guaging their crazy for WoW. She said she had to tell Felicia about that.

( and then I make a fool of myself )
