The Final Countdown (Dragon*Con Edition)

 So it's almost time for Dragon*Con! This will be the first year that I'll be there for the entirety of the "weekend". I use quotation marks around weekend because it's actually 5 days long. It used to be just the weekend and due to popularity and growth it's now officially starting on Thursday.  I honestly think if we could financially manage the expense that goes into hosting such a large event that we'd just do Monday to Monday hahahah😂😂😂. I've got a tentative cosplay line up done and am super stoked about them.  So without further adieu: Thursday: Static Shock Bunny & Gear Hef Friday: Publix Loki Variant (tentatively) Saturday: Bill Potts (Parade/Photoshoot)----still figuring out what to do in the afternoon Sunday: Bill Potts/15th Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa)/Fugitive Doctor---Also the day of the Black Geeks of D*C Photoshoot Monday: Lazy PJ/Onesie/Nerd Wear This is also the first year that we'll be staying at a host hotel (or any hotel for that...

Captain's Blog: Dissertation Done

What a week! In the last 7 days I have finished and submitted my dissertation (whew), attended Dragon Con, celebrated J's 30th birthday, saw lots of friends, made some new ones, saw Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie (swoon), danced until my feet hurt, listened to the Georgia Philharmonic play nerd tunes, finished a cosplay, handed out free snacks, stayed up for hours and made life long memories. This has been a week for the history books. Until next post... laters

Nerdigras 2016

With another Labor Day Weekend come to pass with it also is Dragon Con. This year I was very ambitious with my cosplays and successfully pulled off 4 over the course of 3 days. To say I am proud would be an understatement. For those of you curious they were Amanda Waller (Sucide Squad), The Riddler  (Playboy Bunny Style), Barf with Jesse as Lonestar  (Spaceballs) and Rogue (90s Animated Series). This may have been my last DragonCon for a while so I wanted to full advantage. Having Jesse by my side and running into tons of friends was just the icing on the cake to a fun weekend. Though September is full of all sorts of things this month already has a lot to live up to...until next post.... laters
