Dragoncon 2015

Had a blast wearing Indiana Jones at the meet up. Lots of fun talking with Helpfulnerd, Rockit and his +1 most notably. If the convention gods are kind, hoping to make it next year for the third consecutive time (normally take a break for a year or two between Dragon Con trips).
Dude it was fantastic meeting you. Lets stay in touch! Try to get back out here. I'm thinking of adding a DC costume to my lineup, so if your Oliver Queen wants to hang w/The Flash, we could totally make that happen.

One of these years we're going to hit the west coast for ECCC too.

We had a blast too! helpfulnerd and MatrixSpoon thanks for coordinating

We had a blast too! Can't wait to see the meetup photos. @helpfulnerd and @MatrixSpoon thanks for coordinating

It was great to meet you too @RockIt you and your lady are awesome people!

Wish we had more at the meetup. MatrixSpoon and I are discussing how to make the RPF DragonCon 2016 meetup even better. We'll be posting those updates on the new thread. I'll be posting badge designs for 2016 shortly.

I am so glad I got to meet all of you, even if it was just for a moment. Can't wait to see you all next year.
@RockIt, please send me a PM about your infinity orb build and to discuss a commission. Very interested.

Don't be a stranger.

You all should PM me ANY build that you are working on. I love seeing what other members are doing and I learn so much.

I miss you all. 4 days is not nearly enough time to hang out with Con friends. :cry

Was great to meet you. Please PM me. I need to pick your brain about an Indy cosplay. I too, want to do an Indy cosplay one day. I'm sure you have some awesome insights to share, like where you got that great "head piece to the staff of ra" which was amazing! I wish I had that in my display case.

Hope everyone had a blast! I ended up having my girls with me Thursday, so didn't get to stay to really meet everyone, but it was awesome to see you all!! :) Helpfulnerd, too bad about the lanyards.. Can you refund me via paypal? Thanks!!!
Tonya

Refund sent via PayPal. Sorry the lanyards didn't work this year. I'm looking at some alternatives.

A big thank you to everyone that came to the 2015 Meetup.

We tried to stay around as long as we could for those that were running late. Also we apologize to everyone that did not make it in time for the photo shoot, a lot of people were getting antsy and we tried to wait at least 30 minutes into the meetup.

We apologize to everyone that missed the meet up or couldn't make it due to delays.

If you had a badge printed please contact helpfulnerd to discuss alternate way a getting your badge.

I had a great time this year and loved meeting all of you that came to the meet up! I also met another RPF member while in CVS the next day that had an awesome RPF shirt on! He said he hadn't gotten in until that morning and so had not been able to go to the meet the night before. For those of you who will be jumping to the 2016 thread, I will live vicariously through you and wish you an awesome Dcon 2016 as I will not be in attendance again at Dcon for some time. Have fun all :)
 
Something I'm thinking of on the back burner, I love seeing all these huge group cosplays and have been trying to come up with a simple group cosplay that wouldn't take a lot of money or time to make, I think I may have come up with an idea, it's a well known 80's movie. Let me know if you would be interesting in joining the group cosplay by sending me a PM. I will give you more information on the details...

Would this be a must be local to wherever or something we'll do for DragonCon? Only asking because I live in Memphis and it would be hard for me to travel long distances.
 
LANYARD REFUND UPDATE & OTHER NEWS

I think I got everyone squared away with a refund. I gave two cash refunds at the meetup 1 for $10 and 1 for $5. I also went through my PayPal and sent out the rest of the refunds.

If you are due a refund and do not see a $5 refund from Helpful Nerd LLC in your paypal account please PM and I'll get I'll get you sorted out.

I can't remember who I gave $5 to at the meetup and if I also refunded you via paypal please send that back to me. :D

PM me if you need anything.

FYI: This is officially my last post here on the 2015 thread. I'll be posting from now on at the new 2016 thread. I'll be posting new design concepts for the 2016 badge shortly and I'll be posting some pics of a DIY lanyard. While having them printed for us for this year would have been awesome (had it worked out) I am now realizing that it may be more fun for us to make our own lanyard since we all make stuff anyway. I'll keep you all posted.

Yes! I'm so glad photos are starting to get posted, more please!!

I think I met a few people from here, but not many - really wish I could have been around on Thursday, but we didn't get in until Friday. Here are the six, three each, costumes my husband and I brought:

Jacob and Juliet from Lost, Ingrid from Once... and Jack Frost, Fili in a barrel from Hobbit and Galadriel in Daniel Falconer's concept design armor

Hey, I saw some of these! I was on the 10th floor Marriott for a meetup I guess when you all started meeting up there. Hadn't checked in with the meetup or know what all was going on so I didn't stick around but saw some of these before I went back down. Maybe next year!
 
Excellent photos!!! Mind if I upload the Casey Jones photos to my costuming sites? :D That was me. :D


Not at all just be sure to tag or put UMOphoto as the photographer....thanks...

No this would be a group cosplay for Dragoncon...doesn't matter where you live...Just matters if you are going to attend DC in 2016...is all...

hey everyone, i would have logged in sooner but between planning my build for next year and my son discovering the joys of the terrible twos ive been a bit busy. even though i was late getting to the meetup, i am glad i was able to make it and to hear the praise that all of you that i met gave me on my helmet and remarking on how my use of the wood glue and the baby wipes was actually done well.
 
I was in town for business and able to attend the "early arrivers" get together on Wednesday night. Here's a few pics from the evening (if I've included you and you don't want your picture displayed please let me know and I'll be happy to take it down).
