Atlanta photos - Part I - Dragon*Con -*pic heavy*

[Logan]

Kimmy! You look great!!!!! Loved the pictures. I'm headed to your next set, right now.

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

LOL! Yep, the Marriott Marquis. The convention is held in three hotels and it's outgrowing even that.

In past years there is some sort of Church convention that checks in as D*C goers are checking out. Talk about a culture shock. *laughs*

I do hope you realize regarding the Spartans, that i was just being a brat.

Oooooh... can't wait to see more HP group & Snape photos!

Road trips are awesome! (Vans work the best. Just the right size. Big enough for a party and TONS of storage space; small enough to park in most normal sized spots. AND unlike doing a charter tour... you can stop any time you want. "Ooooh Hey Look!!! Scenic View!")

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):

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.

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.

LOL! Yeah, I figured. I just like bragging about my boys.

I totally envy you!!!
And where did you get the jumpsuit for your Kaylee costume?
Just like to put it out there- if anyone knits, here's a pattern for THE JAYNE HAT

And that's gotta be the best Beauxbatons uniform I've seen made yet.

I actually already have a Jayne hat.

As for the Kaylee jumpsuit, I ordered this: http://www.armynavydeals.com/asp/pro...SKU=dacmc&ST=2

Then my mom removed the sleeves, added a zipper and the top pocket, and sewed on the patches. I then got to work weathering it with black paint.
