I traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina on the weekend of June 4th and attended the sci-fi/fantasy convention known as Con Carolinas. I had lots of fun hanging out with old friends and making new ones as well. I attended many, many panels, and had a blast. I'll share some pictures below of convention goers, then authors:
This is Kyle. His Godzilla shirt rocked! Plus he had some awesome figurines of some characters he's made over the years.
These guys on the right work for the Umbrella Corporation. They were there to ensure that the zombie apocalypse did not take place. A zombie was chasing the guy in the far right of the photo.
He was back-up.
Yay! Star Wars! These guys were giggly at first, but then they kept it real for the 2nd photo. :-D
Oh, where did that pic come from? This Spartan was back-up too. Yeah--that's right--back-up.
Who you gonna call?
And his car.

The vampire panel with urban fantasy authors: Karen Diaz, Marcia Colette, and Kalayna Price. The latter two authors informed the audience that I was yawning. LOL. I was tired. Revenge is sweet, ladies. ;-)
Lots more contests and book reviews are coming. Stay tuned! :-D

Oooo my friend would kill for a corset like the one in the pic!
I love it! Awesome costumes! Awesome car!
I will make a note of this. There are so many conventions I want a chance to go to.
Wow! Now I'm jealous!! It looks like you had a great time! Thanks for sharing the picci's!!
And yes, lol! We do think alike. Love the look of your knew design :D What's funny is that I just thought I would "try" the template out and now I can't find my old one. But I tried to customize mine a wee bit (the orange wasn't working for me :D)
Rock on! Take care!
That looks like so much fun!
Looks like a fun convention.
Looks like much fun was had by all. I love a good con.
Nicole,
She has lots of corsets and they are all so cool. :-D
Chris,
Try to come to this one next year. ;-)
Kara,
Sure. No problem. Orange is not my favorite color either. I played around with the colors as well. :-D
Fairy,
It was. :-D
Stu,
It was--really. :-D
Charles,
It was my first con--and I loved it. :-D
It looks like you all had loads of fun. Lovely pictures.
Those are fabulous pictures! I would love to go to a sci fi/fantasy convention. How cool!
The costumes are very cool. I think I would dress as a zombie. If I raised my hand to ask a question, they'd have to say, "You! Zombie in the fourth row!"
God, that's cool.
Lovin' the new look for the blog, too! :D
-J
Ok, this looks like a blast, lol. :D
Very cool! I LOVE the Godzilla shirt. The Ghostbusters car is totally rad, though! Ironically I was just considering how awesome that movie was just yesterday...
too much fun... AND you had your clothes on! ;) lol

Oh my goodness.

Sherrie,
It didn't put me to sleep. LOL. I was just exhausted from being awake so long. :-D

The Spartan was rather--um. :-D

Bernita,
It was fun. :-D I look forward to many more. :-D
LOL! Yawn. Yawn. Yawn. I have no shame when it comes to singling people out. Wait until next year. ;-)
Oh, and I *love* the new digs. I really need to keep up with my blog haunts.
And before I forget, it was awesome finally meeting you. I so suck at staying touch because by the time I get home, I'm wasted. Then there's this cute little baby who's always trying to hug and kiss on me, so what choice have I got? :-) Anyway, hugs to you, hon.
Love the new blog skin, Tyhitia! Only I thought I'd splattered my drink on my computer screen at first. LOL The pics from the con made me laugh, but your captions are the BEST part.:)
Marcia,
LOL. Next year, I'll get you back. It was great meeting you too. :-D
Soap,
Thanks. Glad you liked my captions. ;-) LOL.
