Blog Transfer: Dragon Con Maps Edition!

Posted on August 27, 2019 by Tara Lynne

In preparation for putting out my book of essays, She’s Kinda Hot, But Then She Talks (seriously! it’s happening soon…ish! I am after all on my second round of what will probably be three rounds of edits) I realized that after locking my old blog, I had forgotten to transfer some Very Important Posts – one of them being my Dragon Con maps!

First, this area map was originally created by another attendee to show where photoshoots would be…I made edits to it (removed the yellow photoshoot markers, essentially), but sadly did lose the link to the original (to be fair, it originated from 2013). All that said, there are a lot of downtown Atlanta/Dragon Con maps out there, but hey, here’s another one!

When I first wrote my Dragon Con maps post in 2013, I also gathered screenshots of all the hotel room floors, so keep “reading” to check out those 🙂

Dragon Con 2019: 5 Days To Go!

Posted on August 24, 2019 by Tara Lynne

This post is quite a bit later than usual, but I was waiting on the final word for several things and only finalized my full Dragon Con 2019 schedule – panels, events, and cosplay – this past week. At least I can say that at this point, there’s basically a zero percent chance of there being any changes to the following!

Friday 8/30
@ 2 PM Red Dead Redemption 2 Photoshoot (Hilton Steps)
@ 8:30 PM Red Dead Redemption 2 Fan Panel (Westin Augusta E-H)

Saturday 8/31
@ 11:30 AM Heroic Journeys in Game of Thrones (Marriott L401-403)
@ 7 PM Game of Thrones: The Final Season (Marriott L401-403)
@ 10 PM The North Remembers How to Party (Hilton Grand East Ballroom)

Sunday 9/1
@ 1 PM Apocalypse Psych 101: Coping with PTSD & Other Mental Illnesses in Literature (Westin ChastainH)
@ 4 PM Fire & Blood: Targaryen History (Marriott L401-403)
@ 10 PM Loony ASOIAF/Game of Thrones Theories (Marriott L401-403)

Monday 9/2
@ 11:30 AM Nailed It or Failed It? Game of Thrones Character Arcs (Marriott L401-403)

Like last year, my cosplay lineup features quite a few repeats, but I’ve made upgrades to those here and there, and I’ve also got a silly new secret cosplay and a new one from one of my favorite series, The Expanse 🙂

THURSDAY
Day: *Possibly* Sadie Adler – OG Outfit (Red Dead Redemption 2)
Night: Femme Grandmaster

FRIDAY
Day: Sadie Adler – Bounty Hunter Outfit (Red Dead Redemption 2)
Night: Secret cosplay 😉

SATURDAY
Day: Anna Volovodov (The Expanse)
Night: Night Queen (Game of Thrones-esque party costume)

SUNDAY
Day: Dee (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia “Who Got Dee Pregnant”)
Night: Dee (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia “Women Beat Boggs”)

I’ll also have my Fantasy Bitch stickers again – at least until I run out of them – so if you see me around and want one, just ask!
