morganskyeRoundcon was a good time, although outside of my panels there wasn't much for me to do. I was expecting this though so no biggie. Through-out the entire weekend I saw friends from other cons, and felt like a mini-star when random people would come up and ask me costuming questions. My ego is ENORMOUS right now. lol!
Owen and I got there around 2pm and was checked into the room right away. Btw, what is it with Marriott and their lack of fans in the bathroom? Anyway, we got in, unpacked, and headed downstairs. Con-Chair Sean found me pretty quickly and gave me the layout. From that point on it was a mess of panels, wigs, and costumes.

fluffydragon, her hubby, and friend Fred got in later that night. She was a huge help for my Saturday panels. Her Minda was an enormous hit, as was the Padme Lake Dress she wore while judging the contest. I'm so glad she was able to make it!!
The contest on Saturday was a blast! We had about 20 entries and they ALL SHOWED UP!!! This is amazing to me since I always have at least 20% drop out. Even more amazing is that I got a ton of compliments on my 50's Housewife Dress. I honestly can't think of a single costume that's gotten more attention. Wild, no? Yes! All the contestants were very upbeat and ready to go, and my judges were awesome. I had Sean from Twisted Kaiju Theater and writer (and sometimes snarky drunk) Josh Hartness along with Fluffy. Good times. :)
I crashed after the contest. I know at some point Chinese food was eaten and I remembered to take off my makeup, but past that Saturday night was a blur.
Owen and I headed out around noon after saying our good-byes. CC Sean and I talked at length about the future of the convention. He wants to take the con into some new directions and a costuming track is going to be part of it. Guess who's in charge? ;P I have a budget and everything!!
Speaking of I'm looking for workshop ideas!! Fluffy suggested doing sharpie wig-dying workshop (although it would be wefts and not full wigs). Bootcovers were also brought up. I'm trying to think of something that most cosplayers would be interested in. I'd love suggestions!
All in all it was a good con. Hopefully adding anime and costuming to the list will help boost attendance. :)
