Dragon*Con 2011

clockwise from left: Shaco, Heimerdinger, Yi, Soraka, Brolaf
This year's Con was just FANTASTIC! I think it being our second time, we were able to organize better, hit up more events, and spend less time aimlessly walking around. We were probably stopped by more on-lookers and photographers though, and more frequently. We hit up some steampunk trivia, the Battlestar Galactica panel, the Boondock Saints panel, DragonCon After Dark, the burlesque after dark show, Voltaire, Jonathan Coulton, and viewed the parade from the hotel windows among other random stuff like riding the elevator, and showing up to that Lolita costuming tutorial with my entourage of dudes. That was awkward... We also stayed at one of the main hotels, which made it infinitely easier for... costume breaks.

We found surfer Singed! I also doubled as Miss Fortune.
We met some other fun people who were also doing League Of Legends cosplay... of which their names I don't remember. Through the forums and the many cards that I handed out we will all surely reach each other again.

Voltaire had a lot of fun things going on during his concert, including that song about Twilight and some funny stage banter entertainment. The lit-up helmet that our Yi was wearing was like a beacon to all the League players in the room. I'm pretty sure we ran into everyone else that that was cosplaying as League Of Legends characters. Everyone except for the Teemo, which made us very sad. We heard that she was cute and probably off somewhere laying mushrooms.

After a certain point I just could not take wearing the Soraka hair anymore, so I was very glad I had brought a pirate outfit. It was only while I was getting pirated-up, that I realized I could totally pull off a Miss Fortune costume, half-assed as it was!

There is a ridiculous amount of pictures on my Picasa album, so if you want to look at more of our costumes as as well as the other League cosplayers, click here!

Here are just a few more of the other League cosplayers we met; you guys were great!
