GenCon Photos

In line with my 3 1/2 Time Outs post from August 14th I have to share my GenCon photos. Because that's one of my favorite things to do is photography! Especially when it is of the gamer, fantasy, cosplay, etc kind of nature.

Through my lens, this was GenCon:

3.5 Time-Outs: G33k@z0!d

I blame my friend Jennifer Fitz, who hosts her blog "Riparians at the Gate," which in turn can blame Mr Larry D of the infamous "Acts of the Apostasy" blog, for my first stab at 3.5 Tuesday post.

And I don't have a clever photo like Jen so Im stealing borrowing Larry D's for now.

This is my first 3.5 post, so please let me know if I am doing it wrong. Or is it like eating a Reeses peanut butter cup?

Quick search had me reeling at the fun I could have this weekend. I will be getting in touch with my uber geek side because Ive registered for: (PFS) Pathfinder Society GM (Game Master) 101 Workshop part 1: GM Basics, PFS GM Workshop part 2: Practice Makes Perfect, Pathfiner RPG Rules Q&A, be one of the first to see JourneyQuest: Season 2, watch Transolar Galatica, and Ive signed up to also watch whatever it is they plan to air on the SciFi Short Film track and Horror Short Film track.

I can't dance...not even the Macarena. I do however enjoy Just Dance 3 for Xbox 360's Kinect. But despite the gift of two left feet am I learning, via youtube tutorials and chatting online, to dance a version of the "Star Spangled Man", from Captain America: The First Avenger movie, with a group of similar costumed gals at DragonCon for the Masquerade competition.

I've been really into sewing lately and making my own wedding dress has given me a lot of confidence. I carefully followed the patterns and tips of the costuming group, dedicated to the USO or dancing girl outfit from the Captain America movie, so I will have my own. Im pretty much done with it all except for
