Ok so I know we were down there yesterday but
that’s not the official start date, I mean yeah it’s flowing into Thursday and
eventually gonna flow into Wednesday but for now, based on the Dragon Con
website, it’s Friday through Monday so that’s what we are going to go with.
Keeping in mind my badge says 31st – Sep. 4th so what do I know. The point is
today is the first full day for me, and frankly on this blog that’s all that
matters.
Some of my favorite CosPlay from Thursday night and today include:
We got back to the hotel last night sometime
around 1ish …. Maybe 1:30ish …. Fell asleep around 2:30ish maybe I don’t know
time does not seem to matter anymore and frankly neither does the day of the
week if that text to my nephew wishing his high school football team a good
game on a Thursday…when they don’t play until Friday. I guess I was thinking I
was off therefore it was Friday. Whatever it’s the Con...... dates, times, and
outside things don’t matter.
We were up and
running at 7:00, well I was so I could shower, Golden turned up around 7:30
while I played on my PC and watched the news. That gave us about 4 hours of
sleep. We grabbed some breakfast then headed down to the Nathan Fillion panel. Found
the end of the line, down the street and around the building and followed the
line until some guy came by and was all “the room is full thank you for your
time.” We then walked down to the room anyway just to see, not that we didn’t
“trust” random guy telling us to get out of line but yeah. We found a plug,
frankly the greatest thing ever … next to a chair of course….and when the panel
started I cranked up DragonConTV and we were able to watch the panel anyway.
Then they had a malfunction at the mothership and we lost it but yeah. He was
as charming and awesome and I thought he would be. The day was not a total
loss….we then made our way to the Walk of Fame and got in line to meet Mr.
Fillion and he was fantastic. He signed Golden’s Malcolm Reynolds action figure, and a picture for me.
He loved Golden’s glasses and told me I was nice…then we were shoved off to the
side for the next person but in that second we were the only two in the room.
It was awesome.
Then we went to
hang with the cast of Wynonna Earp in the Walk of Fame, which was a lot of fun.
We met several of the cast and they were all so sweet and excited that people
were there they talked with us and really connected. I admit it was fun to see
them excited about being here as excited as we were about them being here. I’ll
admit I’m a new Earper. Golden brought me to the Earper table but I haven’t
quite caught up with the latest season.
After today however, I’m more determined
than ever to catch up. I'm glad we waited around for their panel. The cast alone was fun but the writer made me happiest
of all. Emily Andras had such great answers to the questions asked by the fans
but more so it was clear that she not only cares about these characters but
also the cast that shared the stage with her. It was really fun to watch them
interact with the fans and it reminded me what Dragon Con is really all about.
Then we caught
the buss to head back to the hotel for resting until Marible gets here it’s
been a long day guys. This Con goer is tired and my feets are very angry but nothing
compared to how my legs and butt feel. Stupid body being stupid and broke down.
Things I learned
today ….
