Gluten-free foods?

[ninepointfivemm.livejournal.com]

My sister's friend is a Dragoncon newbie, and she happens to have a gluten allergy. Are there any restaurants near the convention that serve gluten-free entrees? I know Mellow Mushroom has a bunch of gluten-free pizzas, but I believe it's a bit of a walk from the hotels.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to get a costume commissioned for Dragon Con?

[tardisfan1971.livejournal.com]

I want to have a simple but great looking tardis dress made for Dragon*Con this year as a gift for my girlfriend. I am looking for someone who could do a commission for me. I don't want to spend a ton of money but I have $100 saved for it and could add a little more in needed. Does anyone have advice on how to get it made or someone they would recommend to me for making it?

My husband and I are each looking for 4-day memberships. We're willing to pay $60-80/each, plus transfer fees, and I can PayPal immediately. Any help is appreciated.

Stay shiny!

EDIT: Got two. Thanks, all, for your responses!

Question for Marriott Marquis Veterans...

[maddantanner.livejournal.com]

I'm not completely sure how it is decided WHICH room you get at the Marriott upon check-in. Like, is it possible to say 'Can I get a room that's as high as possible?' or vice versa? I'm assuming it's based on what is available/clean when you get there and are ready to check-in. I'm mainly asking because I'm arriving Thursday (to avoid the Friday madness!!!!) and would love to be able to have a room that's fairly close to the ground (just in case the elevators were annoying and I decided to use the stairs instead) or one that's extremely high up because, if I remember correctly, the elevator bay in the Marriott for the upper levels goes to a smaller number of levels than the other elevators bays, thus the odds for shorter elevator wait times would be increased. 

Celebrity Autographs

[wynnegruffyd.livejournal.com]

If I am reading this correctly on the DCon website, Celebrity Authentics is having you order and pay for the photo and signature of a star prior to DCON. Does anyone know if this is true? And I noticed on their site you have to preselect the few pics they have available and once there, pick up the pic or whatever from a booth prior to going into the room where they are. Ian Somerholder is 45.00.....heck that is more than some of the veteran actors that have a huge body of work behind them. Just curious if anyone knows whether or not you can actually meet these stars in the Walk of Fame or have to have a "reservation" essentially just to get up to the table? I've been going to DCon for the past 11 years and this just gets more and more ridiculous.

Hotel question

[arianna77.livejournal.com]

Hey all! My cousin is coming to D*C for the first time, and was only able to book a room at a hotel by the Airport. Has anyone stayed that far from the con before? Any tips on transportation, etc? Is it going to be a huge PITA for him? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Refund for pre-ordered photo op?

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

I just now saw on the Dragon Con website that Cary Elwes has canceled (Noooooo!). I had already pre-ordered a photo op with him. Will I automatically receive a refund or is there a process I need to go through?

Thanks!

Is there an Adventure time group doing a photo meetup or in the parade? I am doing a Fionna costume and would like to join one.
