T-minus 48 hours to Dragon*Con

[mijan]

Okay, so the con itself doesn't start until Friday, technically, but I'm leaving (oh a jet plane) in about 48 hours. 

The problems:  I'm not packed.  My Dawn costume is not done.  I'm still in severe pain and wondering how I'm going to physically handle simply getting around the convention for the weekend, never mind PARTICIPATING in stuff like the parade and the Dawn competition. 

The AWESOME:  Dude, it's DRAGON*CON.  I am going to be meeting up with awesome people.  There will be geeks, Star Trek, panels, parties, and so much more. 

THE QUESTION:  WHO'S COMING?  I know my wife posted to find out who's gonna be at D*Con from her flist.  Who's coming from my flist?  Who wants to meet up?  Come on fandom, show me some love!  Let's do coffee.  Who's in?

You and me. We're going drinking. At least a little sometime. :3

I can't drink. Pain meds and booze don't mix. Or, at least, I'll have to be careful about how much I drink. BOURBON. I want my good bourbon. But yes, we're getting together. <3

I was thinking that even as I hit post comment. ; ;

I'll fill up the itty bitty flask with the really good stuff and that can be your daily allotment.

*zen hugs*

I'll make it to D*C one of these years. I promise. take care of yourself!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

I hope you do make it to D*C eventually. It's awesome and you'd love it.

I'll take care of myself.

Good lord, woman! Go easy on yourself. There will be another Dragon*Con, but there's only one you.

One of these days I'll drive down to Atlanta for this thing, but this weekend I gotta go see my grandma.

*hugs*

ME! ME! PICK ME! If you can't come Thursday I'll be around the con all weekend. Feel free to text if you have downtime or just want to say hi or something.

I gave my cell number to Fi, so that means I would love to meet up!

[inzanity-grrl.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna be there!! *happy dance* I'd love it if we could hang out again this year. I can't exactly go drinking with you due to the whole being under 21 thing....But I'd be happy to let you drink while I sit next to you with a Dr. Pepper. XD

Hun, I can't drink either. Pain meds. But we can have coffee together! :D

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

As you know, Bob, triadruid and I will be there. He's still planning on being with you guys in the parade.

Good to know, and thanks for the heads-up. I'll let Jenn know that we have a David for the parade. (I'm still hoping we have a *me*.)

My first DragonCon...giggles. It will be interesting I'm sure. I'll run into you at some point I'm sure, but I don't drink coffee. And don't overdo it.

I'll be there starting Friday, but since I live a grand total of twenty minutes from downtown, I can make some time to meet up early if you want :) THursday is my mum's birthday dinner, though, so I can't do anything too late in the afternoon/evening. Lemme know (I'll PM you my number and you can text/call me with info) and I'll be totally all over coffee and fandom and whatnot. I've never done too much in the convention-participation portion of fandom, but I'm more than willing to have a great time.

I'm pretty much a *duh* :P

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you're an adorable and awesome *duh*.

It is extremely, extremely unlikely that I'll be at D*Con this year, and I am ridiculously sadfaced about it but with Aaron's travel/deposition-taking schedule, I can't see any way for me to do it, unless I come up Friday afternoon and leave mid-day Saturday, which is really tempting me right now because I would at least get to see people a little bit...

[stupid-drawings.livejournal.com]

I am always there.

[jlm121.livejournal.com]

I will not be there but my sister valarltd will be there. Am insanely jealous of both of you.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Awwww... next year?

♥

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

You're doing a Dawn costume? OMIGOD PIIIIIIIICS.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Oh hun, I did Dawn last year, too. Didn't you know?

Look, this is me, in the little white sailor-girl outfit, closest to the camera.



And here, goofing off backstage before the competition:



Surprised?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

:O

Omigod, you are glorious! You tart up so well and I've just never seen you go all girly-max like that, I love it to death!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

It's a costume! The many looks of a Mijan, eh?

This year, I'm wearing a skin-tight body suit... and not much else. Pictures to come! LOL.

[andreanna.livejournal.com]

Actually, I will be there :D

[mijan.livejournal.com]

ZOMG! What programming track are you following? :D

[andreanna.livejournal.com]

;alskdjfadsf I don't knoww! I tend to jump around A LOT :O Probably a lot of Stargate, YA lit, Brit, and Anime

[mijan.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about going to some of the StarGate stuff. No YA lit, unless I decide to see the "Weasley Twins" panels. Just for that alone, I might need one of my HP costumes.

I'm going to at least one of the Sean Astin panels from the Tolkien track, and I'll be dressed as Frodo for that.

Beyond those, I'll probably be in Trek Track the whole time. Will I ever seeeee youuuuu????
