Okay, y'all talked me into it...

I'm going to DragonCon!!

(the crowd erupts into cheers)

So now I need your help with a few important questions:

1). Should I go ahead and buy the full badge tomorrow night, or show up tomorrow night for party hopping, then buy a one-day badge for Saturday?

2). What should I wear? I don't have a corset and can't afford one.

3). What events are not to be missed?

If you're going to be there, fill out this poll! I made it private so your contact information won't be floating around if you don't want it to be.

I can loan you corsetry if you like - I have a red one and a black one, either might fit you.

Oooooooh!!! Oooooooh!!! Wheeeee!!

How shall we coordinate?

Hrm, I'll be home late tonight, not sure about my schedule for tomorrow night. I have all Saturday daytime free, so I can always drop them somewhere or you could come get 'em before you head to the Con... Depends on when you want to wear 'em.
I'll put my cell # in your poll.

Eh.

Dragoncon.

I'd rather not pay $40 to hang around with a bunch of weird-beards in cheeto-stained Sailor Moon t-shirts, arguing in Klingon over whether Mike or Joel was better while dueling with plastic lightsabers.

And I just have a weird issue with women wearing corsets. it just seems kind of strange that women have taken back up this thing that for years was used to constrain and manipulate women and are now sporting it as something cool and trendy. I guess I just see it as being sort of like a black person wearing slave manacles as a fashion statement.

then again, I'm crazy, so whatever.

But still. I wouldn't pay $40 for THAT.

Unless I was issued a paintball gun and free reign.

Hell, I'd pay *$400* for THAT opportunity...

Well, that's good, because it's $75.

-dwiv, eternal member #81, and knows no klingon, but knows that corsets are good posture-wear and some women enjoy the extra comfort and fashion they provide...
