DragonCon: The Aftermath

[vernard]

Survive DragonCon without getting ConCrud. Yay me.

“Bad V” managed to get into more trouble than even I could imagine. I think I’ll leave him out for the rest of the month before I put him back in his cage :-) jaguarraven and muffle1969, you two need to watch out!

Managed to still pull off a moderately interesting party this year with the aid of the usual cast (i.e. lucent_alchemy, firewalker138, zorathenne and LJ-less Ben).

Special thanks to:

reannon for supplying a lovely party suite for us to host the demolition. She is as magnanimous as she is beautiful.

mughi for showing me Yet Another Awesome Drink to add to the roster for the Travelling Bar of Doom. Incredible Hulk will definitely put you On Your Ass!

reprobayt for keeping an eye on my health so I didn’t fall into a diabetic coma while I was in The Zone.

The margarita_fri and partyatvernards communities> After tallying, we managed to cover the entire cost of the alcohol, mixers plus be able to give a modest donation to the hostess for allowing us to invade her domicile for 5 racuous hours. I asked you to support your local party and you all did heartily and graciously.

YOU are the reason I enjoy serving drinks.

I didn’t do a rollcall this year but i’ll definitely make a post over in partyatvernards to get one started.

I didn’t get to margarita_fri on Friday night to my shame. I’m planning on making a foray out to the Original Margarita Friday soon so that I can atone for this sin.

Just so folks will know, I have no idea what will happen for next year partywise. I have been invited to attend Burning Man which is during the same weekend as DragonCon. We’ll just have to wait and see.

In the meantime, I think dr_nebula is scheming for a birthday party in October....

It was my pleasure. No really, it was MY pleasure - just what the hell did you put in that drink? :)

And don't you DARE skip Dragoncon! It's not DC without Vernard! :)

I had a BLAST! (Oh, GOD did I!)

And that drink was really awesome, thank you!)

I'm so glad I got to see you. I want to do that more often.

*love*

Dude. If you make it to Burning Man, you're almost here, and flights from Vegas to the Emerald City are cheap cheap cheap... nudge nudge, hint hint...

I need an icon for that.

50th..

The party for my 50th natal day is most certainly on - just need to set the date. My actual b-day is October 6th, though Oct 27th is being entertained for a joint b-day/costume party.

This will be a over-the-top, crazy bash - make no mistake!

Details will be posted as the develop..

I didn't get to go ;_; but it sounds like you h ad loads of fun. I saw some pics from the members in my club who went and it looked pretty good...maybe next year I'll go xD

We got confused on the room number, we walked past your party but didn't go in. Our kilts and corsets party got busted up by hotel security and the cops, the hotel security guy apparently tried to close down the green room as well.

Glad to be of service...it's always good to know I can be a voice of virtue and morality at such events.

Vernard it was simply wonderful... I have no idea how I made it to the Hyatt and back and then back again after drinking your elixirs. They pack a giggly punch.

And "Bad V" better come out and play with me before you put him back in the cage. I enjoyed him way too much...

You simply can't ditch us for burning man! I see the need for duct tape next year around this time.

Need to rectify this...

well, whether or not I make it to D*C next year, I will certainly make plans to insure that YOU get to go.

I couldn't swing it this year last minute but no child of mine will be bereft of DragonCon Goodness next year :-)

*hugs*

Rats! I was wondering why I didn't see you and your lovely spouse that night.

Next year, we'll have to see if any of my contacts can help you keep things straight with the cops.

"Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker." I'm just doing my part to bring happiness to the world. One drink at a time. The trick is how to do it in just one drink :-)

I live to serve Mon Cheri . I'll be in touch.

as far as next D*C is concerned, we'll have to wait and see how things turn out :-)

Depends on how you define "virtue and morality" :-)

Re: 50th..

[vernard.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm going to be out of town on October 27th so I can't participate on that date.

the 6th is still in flux based on money flow issues but I'll be able to confirm that by the end of the week.

[vernard.livejournal.com]

If I do Burning Man, I'll definitely do visits too!

[vernard.livejournal.com]

Was great to see you at the party! based on your own journal entry it sounds like you will be becoming a con regular now.

I'll be pestering you from time to time to help out with the "more often" part :-)

[vernard.livejournal.com]

Well, I wouldn't call it "skipping" DragonCon as much as attending a transcendental parallel version of DragonCon that replaces stormtroopers with sand".

Although after reading up on Burning Man, I'm not nearly so tempted to attend...

[technoshaman.livejournal.com]

w00t.

[reprobayt.livejournal.com]

Depends on how you define "virtue and morality"

Yes.

'Us' in desert.

DragonCon for the Win.
