Pre-Dragon*Con Post!

So Dragon*Con is almost upon us!

I fly down to Atlanta bright and early Friday morning. Preston, my dad and another friend are all leaving to drive down in about three hours.

I'm sad I wont be able to make the drive down, but I couldn't justify missing two of my classes tomorrow night. Especially since it is the first week of school.

Oh well. I'll be driving back home and hey, a 2 hour flight is better than an 11 hour car ride!

So, I have some pre-con pictures. First up is some of my pictures of my Kaylee cosplay. I got some tips from this blog: DIY Kaylee Frye and they were super duper helpful, if you want to make your own. I'll be sure to post complete finished pictures when I'm back from the con!

Kaylee before I hemmed the sleeves.

Sewing on patches!

I tried on the whole cosplay today and I was really happy with it. I didn't want to take any pictures before we got to the con though!

So Friday, some of our group will be doing vampire pirates, but now I am thinking I might be a vampire jedi pirate, cause that would be awesome. Who knows.

Saturday is Firefly day!

Sunday is Earthbound day, I'll be cosplaying as Ness again. This was the cosplay last year:

I'm really excited to do this cosplay again. this was the first time in my many years of going to Dragon*Con where people stopped me for a picture. Since this was my first successful cosplay, I decided to do something fun with it this year.

For those of you unfamiliar with Earthbound, it is an RPG that was released back in 1995 for the SNES. It is the ONLY game I have ever beaten. You can play it now on an emulator or on the Wii U. If you haven't played, I recommend that you do!

So anyway, in the game if your inventory gets full, you have to abandon items. One item that is frequently abandoned is the cookie. The cookie is useful early in the game when you don't have many hit points, but later on it is pretty useless because it only gives you like 5 or 6 hit points. When you leave the cookie behind, this is the dialogue that happens: (Start it around 35 seconds in and stop it around 55 seconds in)


I can't remember when I got this idea, but I was like, wouldn't it be cool, if I was cosplaying as Ness and I just left cookies around with a note that said that line? I decided to do just that.

So if you are at Dragon*Con this year, be on the look out for some cookies abandoned by Ness!

This is the little note if you can't read it:

I totally made that in paint. I'm quite proud of it!

I also attached some shameless plugging of this blog on the back. That should hopefully bring some more readers!

YES, I was able to track down the Mr. Saturn font!

I think that is all I have for now. I still have a small bit of packing to do, as well as some school work. So I should probably go nap for two hours, wake up with the boys, say goodbye and go right back to sleep.

Until next time!

Goodnight!
