Wash, DC Next Event: Dragoncon

So, DragonCon's only sort of an event - we'll be there, but no official meeting. Should be easy enough to find us, it's such a nice, intimate con.

Oh, wait, what's the opposite of that? Dragoncon!

DragonCon

 

I'm so excited! I made some excellent progress on my costumes yesterday, so now I'm less panicked, and more anticipatory

 

Ken and I were marvelling our our insane level of preparation. He's got his petals cut out. I've got the majority of the bee pinned together....

Madness. Simply madness.

 

Now the world will end because it's not the week of

 

So wait - what is Ken's costume this year?

 

Ken is a giant flower. Some of us are bees.

Yeah.

 

There must be some sort of story behind that...

It creates a fun mental image though!

 

You'd think there was a story. I don't remember if we thought of the bees first, and then decided we needed a flower, or if it was the other way around. It's often best not to delve too deeply into the working of the GS's costuming psyche....

 

The flower was definitely first. I remember that much. There's not much of a story behind the bees. I misheard something Ken said. I thought he said something about bees, and my mind combined that with the flower costume he was planning on, and I thought it'd be cool if we all went as bees.

Don't know if there's a story behind the flower, though.

 

Hey Everybody,
The StormJanitors made a special appearance on stage at the AeroSith performance at Atlanta's DragonCon Star Wars Costume contest. Thanks for coming and good to see you all again.

I hear that Darth Maul is heavier than he looks!

ha!

 

Hey did you know that the Emperor has gotten Maul and Anakin of AeroSith to join the Atkins cult? They each have lost about 30 lbs. --Billy

 

Then no key lime pie for Anakin....

Ha!!
