Dragon*Con’s momentous announcement that Garrett Wang, our very own Ensign from Voyager, will be taking the reigns as their new director of their Star Trek programming was nothing short of a surprise to us all (see http://trektrack.dragoncon.org/). On the heels of this development, fans have been abuzz - many excited, some confused, and some…well, still in disbelief.

Cosplay Picture Groups

[materpenitentia.livejournal.com]

Ok, I've been going for a few years and always costuming but also always alone as no one in my group costumes as anything but fairies (not an interest of mine) and my guy looks like Nathan Fillion so he only does Captain Hammer and Capt. Mal. I will try the dc and marvel groups this year since they'll be separate. But I'd like to meet up for pictures with other groups if possible. So I was wondering if there are any cosplayers out there doing any of these themes:

1. I know that for a few years there has been a My Little Pony group, how could I get in touch with them?
2. There were a group of girls that I ran into that did characters from She-ra and I also saw a skeletor in pictures. If anyone is doing this again, I'd love to get some good pictures with my leather she-ra costume.
3. Dragonlance
4. Goauld / Stargate

Want free internet access at the Hyatt? Looking for a room?

I'm the Dragon*con Cheap Hotel Klingon.  I usually post cheap or available hotel deals on my journal for those who don't want to pay full price for their hotel, or just plain don't have rooms yet.  Today I'm also a bearer of good news for those staying at the Hyatt. 

If you're staying at the Hyatt this year, you can get free upgrades and free internet access.  Details are on my journal if you're interested.  There's also older entries with DC hotel deals (The Westin for $65/night, Days Inn still available for $100/night), DC hotel reviews, and DC hotel FAQs.  Drop on by if you're curious!

I'm also still looking for more hotel reviews for my Dragoncon hotel reviews section here - http://xiandesi.livejournal.com/8801.html
