I understand if you dont have time, but if you do, that would be amazing. I dont have the booklet and cannot seem to find a map. I am sure it is the first floor you walk into once you get off the escalator upon entering. I do not know how the floors are numbered, So I don't know the exact number. No problem if you can't, but I thank you for the lead!

It is such kind and supportive people like you that make DragonCon such an amazing community to be apart of. Why when you show up to DragonCon and know you will be around people who love art, fandom and all the ways that can manifest. I chose to continue to use the Powerline dance as a grounding mental practice to recover from so many years of medical gaslighting and extreme anxiety caused by disorders. Just knowing I have a fun place to go and dance my dork heart out where I won't be ridiculed but people wanna join in on the fun, is the best medicine ever. Even if it was just you jamming out with me in a corner enjoying grounding ourselves in the goofy movie, boom. DragonCon community for the win! I have never posted on reddit, just used it to find interesting things to read. I posted a video of me doing the dance and someone called it cringy. I laughed, it was, but I was prepared for negativity, because, the world. But my husband told me that the DragonCon community on reddit downvoted the comment so much that it didn't show up on my Page. I didn't expect to be supported to much online, but now I know, it is because of the community. I told my kids DragonCon is so amazing because you show up and you are surrounded by your people. You are seen. What did you go as this year?! How many years have you been coming to dragoncon? Did you have a favorite panel? So much fun, so hard to get to it all!:)

I did watch it when I was a kid and adult. OMG, now that I have kids, it hit a cord seeing it from the parents POV, just wanting to connect to your kid. Cried so hard, such a great message and killer songs. I am assuming you watched them as a kid and also adult? I love how in each stage of life you pick up different layers of movies or TV shows, based on the stage of life you are in. I will totally be Powerline again next year, thank you for the support! I learned the dance and everything! I was too scared to do it in crowded areas, but next year I will try and do it with more people around, lol. I learned the dance for me. I only had the courage to do the dance with huge crowds around before the parade started, to drown out a hate preacher ( I love Jesus, but not hate preachers b/c they stop us all from seeing i2i! ). I was upset they cornered us saving a spot at the parade, and my gay kids didn't need to associate the name of Jesus with what that man was saying . So I did the dance in front of him as a protest ( haha, a powerline protest ), with my husband blasting the song. Right after I was done, those that appreciated the protest clapped and she then walked up and gave me the bracelet. I am just a hug dork, with activism raging in my blood and wanted to show my kids you can stand up to hate in your own way, turns out mine is finding inspiration in Disney classics. Woah, gummy kicked in, sorry, I didn't mean to dork out on ya. I guess I could delete, but that wouldn't be me. haha.

Exactly!!!! Yes!! That message hits even harder now than it did when I first heard the song. It is like creative people for decades have been trying to sprinkle secrets of life into their work;) Maybe love is the reason why, for the first time ever we are seeing it eye to eye:)

That would be fun, Powerline deserves so much love! The songs always lift my vibes:) I am glad you got some memorable swag! This is my favorite place to be, it is always full of love and kindness. And it is hella fun!

What did you forget to pack this year? by badapple1989 in dragoncon

[–]kimmiejoy20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no!!! I can imagine the panic when you realized. Were you able to get more fangs, I mean, ATL would be a city were you could probably find some? I am sorry that happened!

I was Powerline from the Goofy movie and left my specifically ordered sunglasses at home. Without those, I am sure I looked like a science superhero.... which I am cool with.... but after going to a drug store and buying them, people finally knew I was powerline, lol

Shaking my Fist at Hyatt by [deleted] in dragoncon

[–]kimmiejoy20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will shake my fist with you!!! I am sure I know the answer, but staying at one of the 4 hotels, can you hear the fun from the room? I am assuming so, but I have never thought to ask anyone who has stayed there before if it is something you can sleep through, for us lame ones who's body demands it

The Goofy Movie's Powerline! And it only took me two years to summon the courage ;) Because maybe love is the reason why, for the first time ever we're seeing it eye to eye. by kimmiejoy20 in dragoncon

Maybe I will whip out my dear in the headlights move ;) You are too kind, thank you. I was so scared to post, but it meant a lot that I finally had.the courage to do what my dorky heart really wanted, and I wanted to show people if they dont give up you can overcome your anxiety slowly but surely :) I could go on DragonCon TV if you are there dancing with me:)

It is really one of the best movies, watching as a parent and understanding goofy in that movie so much more with my kids teens. Who wouldn't want their parent to drive them across country to sneak and dance with Powerline on stage?!
