DragonCon Reports

I posted DragonCon reports last weekend/early this week to BSCreview.com, if anyone is interested. They are a popular culture website - I write book reviews and a regular manga column (Mangakissa) for them. My other blog has a link to the reports as well.

Totoro

My B and our giant Totoro, with another fan who bought her Totoro at the same time. We were screaming and jumping up and down. Only at DragonCon can you forge connections with total strangers over anime characters.

DragonCon Surprise

Look, we ran into Otin at DragonCon! He still didn't take me to the race, though. Boo!

DragonCon

This is where I will be, from tomorrow at noon until Monday night. I might check in, I might not, I will definitely post to Facebook and post pictures/notes when I get back. Like Tuesday. Monday night I will be sleeping in front of my computer trying to catch up on my reading for next Wednesday's class, which I sure won't be doing in Atlanta. Yes, the Cup race is in Atlanta on Sunday night, but I am not driving down there (from Ohio, NOT) so I have no transportation to the track, which is half an hour south of Atlanta, and my daddy told me I am not allowed to hitchike under any circumstances, nor I am allowed out by myself for a night race. I'm still working on a way to get there . . .
(for some reason, I am unable to create a successful link to the DragonCon site, which is www.dragoncon.com - Blogger keeps inserting www.blogger.com in front of www.dragoncon.com when I try to attach the link to the picture.)

Pikachu!

Some people take their cosplay a bit too seriously.

We are headed for DragonCon in September, and I am making a Sailor Moon costume for my daughter. Who is 9. Then again, I might be dressed as Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket (my favorite anime/manga), so I guess I can't talk about Mr. Fat Pika here. The schoolgirl outfits are rather expensive, so I may not go all out to be Tohru. I can always be Princess Leia, like I was for Halloween in fourth grade - remember, Eileen? I was the only one who didn't have to use pantyhose to create the sidebuns for the hair.
