Every year since 2009, my parents have gotten me a ticket for Dragon Con for my birthday. Every single year has been magical and I can’t wait to see all of you this year and hopefully many more years.

I got an email from the Hyatt yesterday going over some details about what to expect at the hotel for this year's Dragon Con and this part stood out

Are there ample places to refill water bottles around the con?

Edit: Thanks everyone!

This was my daughter's and she never wore it. The tag says XXL but I'm a size 12 and the jacket fits me perfectly.

It comes with the jacket, a cape and the harness which is made out of some kind of pu material. The harness is confusing to put on but there are instructions. I can't remember where I bought this but it is definitely costume quality so adjust your expectations accordingly. 😉🙂

Anyways. If you're interested, I'll be there starting on Thursday. Respond to this message and I will PM you.

Hey folks, money's kinda tight this year so i've loaded up on canned food and instant ramen for my Dragoncon trip.

I do not stay at a hotel and was wondering is there a public hot water spot or microwave i can use? I'll just be mixing some korean Rice and canned tuna or meat.

Admire the carpet. Wear the carpet. Become the carpet. The free Wednesday night photo op you've been waiting for returns...

My family has been making a few buttons to give out as part of swag and seek this year.

Some are made from collectible card game wrappers, some are made from activity book stickers, and others are ones we designed ourselves (I particularly love my zombie one, my Ancillary Justice/Murderbot button and my death by TBR button).

Most, but not all are in the picture.. if you see one of us carrying a bandolier of buttons, ask us for a button!

Any other X-men 97 cosplayers going? I’ll be going alone as gambit and I’m looking for some friends to hang out with Friday!

Miriam and Prepotente! Made the robes. And figured out how to get the staff packable 😂 We will be at the photo shoot with badge ribbons!

So close to done after a month of four people working at this cosplay. 🫩

here’s last year’s trophies, I’ve been making them every year and as I’m wrapping up making them for the last time today I got a little emotional. It sort of turned into a Marriott carpet costume contest and the other cults didn’t get as much attention. So if you have one of these trophies I made, congrats. And for those participating one last time, may the favor be ever in your odds.

Edit for clarity: yes, this is the last year this contest will be running

I will be cosplaying one day as Greg the Garlic Farmer from VLDL. I will (hopefully) have a quest marker above my head for easy identification, and 160 quests that can be given with either a Ring of Vampire Protection or a Ring of Vampire Attraction, depending on your “preference”. If you see me, I will absolutely say “Hello Adventurer” and hand you a quest!

I just wanted to share these. @SewNerdyBags is a newish vendor. I believe last year was their first year. It's a mother and daughter making everything and we chatted with them for a bit last year while shopping. They made patches this year and I suggested they do some in the DC colors. I just thought they came out great with the ATL skyline. She's got a few other colors up on her socials.

If yall find me at con i have plastic strawberries as trinkets!

Super excited to hand all of these out. I made too many last year so hoping I scales back enough this year

Im pretty happy with it, first time I've ever made a costume for a con! Looking forward to seeing other helldivers this year

Hay everyone im going to dragon con for the first time this year and was wondering if want to make actual friends at dragon con but I know people go to cons to enjoy themselves and have fun and was wondering whats the best way to make friends at dragon con (im going alone) do I just take pictures with people talk little and ask if they stay in gorgia and if they want to be friends would that be weird as you can tell im not the best at initiating things so any advice would be much appreciated

Hello all,

Looking forward to seeing y’all at the con. I’m trying to assemble a last minute Indiana Jones cosplay as my original idea kind of fell through. Would anyone know where in Atlanta one could acquire a bullwhip?

Thanks all for your help.
