DragonCon
2001
8/30
- 9/3
Mikey,
Juan and I drove down to DragonCon this year, and had Eric, and Shiela
following us in their car. They ditched us in Maryland when Juan got
a speeding ticket.
Here's
Juan checking the air in his tires.
I
know it's hard to see, but that's a shot of the President's Marine One
Helicopter!! And yes, this is when we were driving through Washington
DC. Thanks to Sgt. Zeno for telling me that the Presiden't Chopper is
called Marine One, not Air Force One!!
A
shot of Mikey taken over my shoulder from the front seat.
Here's
the hitchhiker we picked up on the way down. Of course, 2 minutes after
we picked her up, we passed 2 really cute girls hitching, and Juan almost
pulled over to kick this girl out and pick them up.

What
would DragonCon be without the bi-sexual girls?
Or
sexy sisters dancing together?
More
Goth girls dancing.

And
then even more girls dancing. Thanks to Rob for wandering around and
taking the pics at the Goth Party for me!!

At

dare do anything silly? (Photo courtesy of Spud)
Spud
joins up with SG-1. (Photo courtesy of Spud)
Does
that technically count as a costume?
Don't
know what she was supposed to be, but it's nice, huh?
Dawn
Costumes seem to be all the rave at DragonCon. Maybe I should actually
find out who Dawn is??? (Photo courtesy of Juan)

still standing up.
Great

Crystal.
That's all I have to say.
Crystal

These
are the only 2 people to ever come up to us and thank us for working
at Registration at the con. I of course assumed that they were trying
to get free passes, but it turns out they were just really nice people.
You meet all kinds of freaks at a con, huh?
Ya
Ya. That's her name, not the sound I made when I saw her. :)
Here's
a pic we got taken at a booth in the Dealer's Room. It's Juan being
attacked by Mikey and I.
We
found this on the side of the road somewhere in South Carolina. F. Chris
Graham tells me that this Elephant is on Hwy 29 in Spartanburg, S.C.
and that he is a local landmark. The rumor is that someone lived inside
the pink one for a month before the owners found out. It is supposedly
hollow behind the light-up sign. Thanks for the info, Chris!!
Me

We're gentlemen, right? (Photo courtesy of Juan)
Ok,
gotta say, this was probably the most disgusting thing I saw the whole
weekend. Pigs Feet. Pickled Pigs Feet. And according to the women at
the Truck Stop, the Pigs Feet are a huge seller. Ewww.
