I fly from NE Ohio, I have a fairly large piece of luggage that I pack carefully and put into checked baggage with costumes in with some regular clothes ( mostly to cushion pieces because when am I ever not in costume?! JK most of us have times where we just want to relax haha), I wear the biggest boots I'm taking at a particular time (boots but not anything like armor feet/legs of foam/etc costumes since I have to take them off for security screening) instead of packing them to free up more space for other things in the big bag, I also have a good sized carry on that holds the more delicate items and my nikon. Plus your "one personal item" can most certainly be a helm or other type of part of your costume. I may be using this trick myself this year depending on what I finally decide to go with. I personally have not shipped to D*C but I have heard of other people who have shipped large parts to other cons. You will definitely have to ask the hotel if they will accept and hold packages for guests and during what time frame it can arrive. Some hotels I've heard are picky about it. :)

I underestimated exactly how much of my time would be swallowed up with moving house, I doubt I'll be able to make almost any progress on my costumes this month. Hopefully I can at least get one done during August.

You have been added to the list...thank you, can't wait to see you again...Vash
 
This perfectly sums up my life right now hahahaha xD
by the by if anyone here has/uses instagram I have been posting snippets of what I am working on as con looms closer - feel free to look me up under the same name as I have here ( same with twitter) I just haven't had the time to upload anything on a thread anywhere else, not even here between work and costume work. What's a day off? xD
 
would you like me to put your name down for The RPF meetup?...thanks...

Yes, I'd like to come. The only complication might be if I'm still doing set-up... I volunteer with one of the vendors and usually help them get unpacked and set up prior to the show.

I am in total countdown mode. And I should probably be chained to my sewing machine for the next few weeks.

Going to DragonCon is going "home" for me, so I get to ship stuff home to the family if needed. Gives me a chance to meet up with them and get my stuff at the same time. =D When we were travelling around the world earlier this year, though, we had stuff shipped to our hotel in NY and things worked out well. I'd say contact the hotel and confirm the info you'll need to include for proper delivery -- name, reservation number, etc., and they can add a note to your record, too.

Hey everyone. Really glad I found this thread.

I'll be attending and looking forward to meeting folks from the RPF at a meet up. Has the venue been chosen, made official? The Vortex would be a cool spot too.

I live in Atlanta, not far from down down. Is anyone still looking for a place to crash? If so let me know. I really can only accommodate 1 maybe two people. I have an apartment and a gaggle of folks would be too much for my place.

Still trying to secure a room\(or a partial share), but I might have a line on an entire reservation at the Hyatt Place just outside of the Convention area.

Did you find a place Bayouwolf?

Also a bit late I know, but I put together a badge concept for the heck of it. I know you, MatrixSpoon, have been working on badges. Just thought I would share.

Looking at going as a crew member from the Nostromo. That would be fun. Maybe get a face hugger mask to go with it....hmm

Looking forward to meeting folks.

Where is everyone? LOL

Has the meet up venue been decided?

How are those badges coming along MatrixSpoon? Any pics? And please put me on the list. My avatar is attached for ya.

Is anyone still looking for a place to crash? Just want to make it known that someone can crash at my place. If I can help someone with a crash spot I'm all for it.

We gotta stick together right?

My couch is your couch for DragonCon.
