PLEASE NOTE: All panelists and audience members were required to wear masks throughout this panel. This does make certain portions of the recording a bit difficult to hear, and I apologize for this [albeit very necessary] “inconvenience”.

This panel was an overall discussion about George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series – when and why we first started reading it, how we got hooked, and our favorite (and least favorite) parts and characters in ASOIAF.

Panelists: Myself, Jen L (High Fantasy Track Director), Nami

Dragon Con 2021: 1 Week To Go!

I’ve been waiting and waiting to share my Dragon Con 2021 schedule because the one thing I’ve learned in the past year and a half or so is that all things are constantly, constantly, CONSTANTLY subject to change…but hey, we’re a week out so at this point if anything else about this year’s convention DOES change, I’m at the ‘oh well, I don’t really care’ point 😉

As for cosplay…well, most of this year is going to be laid back. I’ve got a lot of ‘mystery question marks’ on this graphic, some of which are actually new secret cosplays (though admittedly, pretty lazy ones)…others are simply “I’m wearing a cute outfit this evening that’s not really a cosplay and I haven’t quite decided which outfit it’s going to be”…

WEDNESDAY
Find me in my Gang Goes to Dragon Con shirt!

THURSDAY
Day: Color War Outfit (Fear Street 1978)
Night: *New* Secret Cosplay (Hint: Jurassic Park Themed)

FRIDAY
Day: Sadie Adler – Bounty Hunter Outfit (Red Dead Redemption 2)
Night: *Possible* New Secret Cosplay…or a cute outfit, who knows!

SATURDAY
Day: Jungle Cruise-Themed Outfit
Night: Probably just a cute outfit 🙂

SUNDAY

Night: *New* Secret Cosplay (Hint: Sort of Dragon Con Themed)
