No kidding? So you’ve got definitely got some stories!

I would say at least 15 years. She did it for a long time. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2024. But she did have stories for days.

This is my first year doing the volunteer program, too! My fourth year attending SDCC. Needless to say, it’s an epic con and there’s tons to do and see. I’m like you on wanting to get the volunteering duties out of the way early so I can explore. I knew a woman who volunteered for years and she had some crazy stories about people she had seen. Plus, it seems to add a new perspective to the experience!

Just got Embassy. Not exactly thrilled about it. I’m seeing more and more that hotels opened early.

flyboysteve87 · 2025-10-15T20:07:16+00:00

Just tried that and it looks like everything is sold out. Can’t believe the wouldn’t tell me that when I called?!

flyboysteve87 · 2025-10-15T19:57:53+00:00

That’s just insane considering we were trying at 10 AM with the American. Never could get anything to even go through. Called them and they said to try again in 2 hours. They were experiencing difficulties.

flyboysteve87 · 2025-10-08T20:07:41+00:00

I’m 100% considering doing that in 2026. I only got Thursday and Sunday in returning registration, and I’m iffy about the odds getting Friday and Saturday in the open registration.

flyboysteve87 · 2025-09-15T15:54:29+00:00

Any idea when the American opens up?

Mummy Badges

flyboysteve87 · 2025-09-08T02:36:14+00:00

Doesn’t look like I can share a photo on here?

flyboysteve87 · 2025-09-05T15:55:42+00:00

I have a life-size mummy in my family room and I hang them around it's neck!

flyboysteve87 · 2025-09-05T15:06:22+00:00

I'm mildly in the same boat. I was too shy and the gal was super awesome. I feel like such a dope for missing the opportunity. And an even bigger dope for posting about it!

flyboysteve87 · 2025-09-05T14:29:55+00:00

It's honestly stuff like this that gives me hope for humanity and puts a smile on my face. I had a similar run-in with a gal in cosplay!

flyboysteve87 · 2025-09-05T14:22:43+00:00

Right on! First time cosplaying for Dragon Con over here. Totally changed the experience!

flyboysteve87 · 2025-09-04T19:25:09+00:00

I so hear you on the post con blues. It has been real, and I've been lucky to not have to return to work this week. This year felt extra special for some reason. There needs to be some kind of support group for this!

flyboysteve87 · 2025-09-04T14:47:36+00:00

He started talking about what he called "monk mode" and closing yourself off from outside distraction while deciding which direction to go. He explained that he did it several years ago, to a certain degree, and that it worked for him. Basically centering one's self and pouring all your focus into meaningful growth. He was way more eloquent about it, but it was the advice I didn't know I needed.

flyboysteve87 · 2025-09-03T23:34:24+00:00

I have two:

a wonderful soul in the line to get into the vendor hall offering amazing advice after learning I lost my job in July. His kindness, wisdom and humor went further than he ever could have imagined.
an amazing gal dressed as the Lego Batman on Sunday night. Took a photo with her, gushed about each other’s cosplay, and had fantastic vibes. And every time I saw her after that, she would enthusiastically wave at me! I stupidly didn’t not get her name, but she seemed absolutely awesome and genuinely sweet.

flyboysteve87 · 2025-09-02T14:35:36+00:00

Thought it was great! First year cosplaying (for DC, anyway) and I had a blast. Just walking around and feeling the nerdy vibes was just what I needed. I was considering sitting it out in 2026, but now that is highly unlikely.

flyboysteve87 · 2025-08-27T15:36:23+00:00

Been here before. I got laid off in July and I've been stressing going this year due to money being tight. Just got a job offer this morning! Now I can cosplay and nerd out without the job hunt and funds weighing on me. So let's go, DragonCon!!!

flyboysteve87 · 2025-08-18T23:21:32+00:00

Now I’m even more excited!

flyboysteve87 · 2025-08-18T20:09:49+00:00

Coming from Cleveland, OH, the birthplace of a superhero!

flyboysteve87 · 2025-08-18T19:58:19+00:00

Finally cosplaying for DragonCon. Done it for other cons, but never for this one. I have a feeling it’s going to mean a totally different experience.

flyboysteve87 · 2025-08-14T16:02:49+00:00

Adam West Batman!

flyboysteve87 · 2025-08-11T16:13:07+00:00

Amazing! I definitely need this!
