Returning to DragonCon

If this subject has been posted some place else, I humbly apologize.

It seems like I’ve been away from this forum for ages!

Had to help my son get over some rough times. Anyway, are there any

band of Busters out there going to DCon this year? I haven’t been since

  1. I snagged a room for six days last week and I’m proud of it! My first visit was

in 2009 and 30,000+ fans had attended. I heard last year drew 80,000+.

If you’d like to share fascinating stories, pros and cons, hotel concerns or anything

else that would get me back into the mindset of DCon, I’d like to read it.

Thanks in advance . . .

I’ll be there this year, and I’m sure that members of the ATL and Georgia Ghostbusters groups will definitely be there.

4

Great doctorevil! I enjoy meeting other busters

from across the country. For us out-of-towners,

snagging hotel reservations has been and will

probably be always a challenge.

Are you doing the parade?

5

I’ll be checking with Michigan GB’s to see if they’ll be attending.

6

Probably not, will see. Depends on if my group is invited to join the other Ghostbusters groups walking in the parade.

7

So true. Didn’t think of that.

Thanks!

I’m looking forward to attending DragonCon, haven’t been since 2012. Don’t think I’ll bring my Ghostbusters pack though, too difficult to travel with via airplane.

9

During a convention, one of the GB’s placed his pack on me.Wow!

I did not know it was that heavy. So, I decided not to wear one. However,

I do wear a backpack for my Republic Commando (Star Wars) character and

it’s 90% lighter.

10

This may sound a little crazy, but I’ve started the process in conditioning my armor,

dusting off my soft costumes and preparing for DCon 2018 months in advance. Why

you may ask? Because I’m bringing a wardrobe full of stuff! Checkout my list below:

Ghostbuster’s

Republic Commando (Star Wars)

Knight of the Jedi Order

The Creeper (Jeepers Creepers I & II)

Stargate

Vampyre Hunter

The Walking Ded

SteamPunk

NerfPunk

Pirate

Michael Jackson Ghoul

ICMG (Star Wars)

George Clinton (Grandfather of Funk!)

Okay! That just about covers it.

How about you?

Also DrEvil, you don’t have to be invited to march with us in the parade…ALL GBs are invited to march with us, we get 100 parade passes each year and hand them out to gbs at the lineup area first come first served, in 10 years we have never run out.

13

Sweet. I may take you up on that.

14

Wow! I’d like to do the parade for the first time as a GB.

This will definitely be a highlight for me at DCon. I’ll bring both

GB’s I & II coveralls. One for day, one for night . . . (LOL)

Yes indeed. Let’s continue posting updates pertaining to any

events/parties/photo opportunities, etc., no matter how small

the detail. Even a meet-n-greet if possible.
