Over Labor Day weekend, Andy, my sister Linn, and I headed down to Atlanta, GA for Dragon*Con. It went by so fast this year, but we had a blast.

That's my pal Toby. He currently works as a Jack Sparrow look-a-like. :D

Here's his site: http://www.sithcamaro.com/

That looks pretty cool.
Looks like you had a great time with everyone as well.
Must be interesting to what people are dressed as.
Great pictures thanks for sharing.

Looks like fun! I love cons. Nice costumes too :D

Whoooo!

Hey, did anyone else notice they even included someone from the Ministry of Magic? ;-)

And OMG, that guy really does pull off a believable Snape... If Snape seemed cheerful and approachable. The one that i think is playing Granger looks more convincing than the one chosen for the movies. If you go by the movie Sirius, the one there is believable too! (Then again... it's all for fun!)

Thanks for sharing!!!

Love the Harry potter and Jack Sparrow, LOL! That does look like a fun place to go and it looks like you all had a really good time. :)

Oh Kim those were great! Everyone's costume is awesome! It really looks like you all had a fantastic time!
Thanks for sharing with us:)

You & Andy look great! Looks like a lot of fun.
Pretty gutsy of that guy to go out in public in that spartan getup...but it looks like he's done his workouts to get prepared! One of these days you might bump into my older son at one of these conventions, it's right up his alley.

W;)W!

Looks like a **PHUNN TYME** was had by all!

Now, HOW did you get all that *stuff* to Atlanta?
You had to have been well over your "baggage limit" on the plane.

Did you ever have to "explain" any of the "hardware & weapons" to the Airport Security folks?
IF they'd opened a couple of your bags ... there might have been some serious panic
at first glance! You packed more *heat* than a well-equipped terrorist would carry!
:eek:
:D

Glad y'all had a GOOD Tyme ... but we *missed you guys at Findlay! :(
;)

Thanks everyone. :)

As for the Spartans, a number of them are my friends. They all loved the movie and worked out vigioursly prior to the con.

Here's a link to Jason's photos (one of the Spartans):

The boys: l-r Chris, Jose, Jason, Arturo, Luis, and an unknown guy :D

They said Andy should do a Spartan costume next year..... and I laughed and laughed and laughed. ;)

Crow_Noir... there is a guy that does a great Snape outfit. He even got the 'death eaters mark' tattooed to his arm! I have photos of him from past years... I'll have to look it up. :) I took more photos of Harry Potter people while waiting for the parade to start.

The actors who play Neville, Fred, and George were at the con this year. :D

We drive down so we don't fuss with airports. Those that do fly will typically mail their costumes/props to the hotel or send it down with friends that are driving. :)

Plus the road trip is fun. :D

I love when you post pics of conventions, they look like so much fun!

Is that the Mariott in downtown Atlanta?
If so, I stayed there for an IRS trade show in July :D. Not nearly as fun as your trip :p ;)

Kimmy, if Phred wouldn't have asked about how you got all that stuff there.. I would have! After your 3 costume change I thought of that!
:D

It looks like you guys had LOADS of fun!
I'm off to go look at all the other pictures!!
