Question about the banquet and advice for a newbie?

[deathbymutation.livejournal.com]

I quite literally just bought my membership for this year's DragonCon and my hands are shaking I'm so nervous/excited.

Quick question though, what exactly goes on at the Guest of Honour Banquet? Is it worth it to go?

I'm traveling all the way from BC, Canada by myself and I'm hoping to chat with a few people prior to going so I'm not completely alone all weekend. This is my first convention by myself (last two I went with family friends) and it's my first in another country.

Also if anyone is looking for a roommate or has some space on their floor, keep me in mind! I'm perfectly alright with a blanket, pillow and a floor. I'm quiet, non-smoker, sadly not legally able to drink in the US, and I'm a ridiculously polite Canadian. I'm a 20 year old woman so I'm not sure I'd be comfortable rooming with guys, sorry!

Any advice for newbie to DragonCon would also be appreciated! My only other con-experience is Salute to Supernatural in Vancouver 2009/2010.

ADDED: About to book my airline tickets. Flying from Seattle to Atlanta. Is there a shuttle to and from the airport and hotel?

Makeup Services?

Last year, I seem to recall a few different folks offering makeup application services on an appointment basis. Will anyone be doing so this year?

Norman Reedus was just added to the guest list!! I'm so excited that my calls/emails prompted both him and Sean Patrick Flanery (or their agents, most likely) to apply for being a guest!

I'm SO EXCITED I can't even put it into words. BOONDOCK SAINTS AT DRAGON*CON! :D

Julie Benz was a nice bonus too, since she plays Agent Eunice Bloom in the second movie. Yay!

Badges

I'm looking for two DC badges for the whole weekend.  Ideally they were purchased before prices went past $90.  If you purchased badges and are unable to go, I would like to 1. tell you I'm sorry, that sucks and 2. buy your badges.  Please email me at eccentra@hotmail.com.  I hope we can help each other out.

Battlestar Galactica Group?

[animonita.livejournal.com]

Hey guys, I am a super noob to BSG (on season 4) and I was wondering if there is a group for all us fans? I have discovered the Colonial Fleet on FB and just registered for their website. Anyone cosplaying as a character? I'm dying for an accurate flight suit!

Let me know! Thank you!

Dragon*Con Killjoys - Zone 42 is up and running!

[sweetnovicane.livejournal.com]

Look alive, Sunshine!

A few months ago, I posted about having a group at Dragon*Con based around the universe of My Chemical Romance's Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. I haven't been able to seriously put the group together until now due to life being a complete whirlwind of family issues, finals and touring.

But for those still interested, our Facebook group Zone 42 - The Killjoys of Dragon*Con is up and running! My roommate and I will be continuously updating, so we hope that you'll join us over there and help us bring it all together!

78 days and counting, motorbabies!
