1. What are you MOST looking forward to at Dragoncon (other than seeing your friends :P)?
Klingons versus Stormtroopers, drunken philosophical debates regarding the Prime Directive at three in the morning, dancing in a mask, Dark Elves Gone Wild!, vampire room parties, sailing a sea of back issues in the Dealers Room, Attack of the Fetish Cyborgs, when I walk around the hotel it feels like I'm in one of those giant double splash pages from a comic book where all the super-beings are gathering for their next Secret Crisis... but mainly the chance to be myself.
2. What are you LEAST looking forward to/dreading at Dragoncon?
Where to hide the dead pirate hookers... er, the line to get my pass.
3. What are your Dragoncon pet peeves?
Hearing shit like this: "Damn look at Ms.Marvel... she looks hot..."
"Yeah... but her costumes out of continuity!"
4. How many costumes are your bringing this year (and how done are you?)
I usually invent my own super-heroes for these things (or use the ones I made up as a kid)... I'd love to do a Victorian Green Lantern or Flash if I had the funds or failing that Doc Venture or Santos from those old Luchadore movies.
5. Planning on being a part of any costume groups? Ay particular photoshoots you got planned?
No on the first one. I never plan my shots, I let the self proclaimed 'hottie-hunters' stalk the anime jail bait and focus on shotting whatever catches my eye.
6. Do you have any Dragoncon traditions?
On the advice of my lawyer... no comment
7. Anything in particular you plan on accomplishing this year?
Yes, to see R2-D2 fight Twiggy from the old Buck Rogers show knife fight by the Hyatt pool and if the Church of the Sub Genius is there to become a Reverend finally. I'm so sick of being the only one of my friends who can't marry someone in an emergency... it's embarassing really.
8. Where do you think you will be at 1 am on Friday night?
With my Baby!
9. What costume do you think we will be seeing WAY too much of this year?
Sweeney Todd I bet creeps up a lot this year. Hard to say really, the big movie was Iron-Man and though the suit would be a bitch, I bet you'll see a bunch of Tony Starks.
10. What costume will be not be seeing enough of, do you think?
If I understand the question right... Skeletor's... there's just not enough weight lifters willing to put on a furry loin cloth, paint their skin purple and put on a yellow skull mask... c'mon guys get with it!
11. What do you think Dragoncon always has too much of (not costume-wise)?
People who bitch constantly about how Dragon*Con isn't the same, how it sucks now or has sucked for the last few years... and yet these people seem to go every year.
12. What do you think Dragoncon doesn't have ENOUGH of?
Vitamin Love!
13. If you could make one suggestion to the Dragoncon staff to improve DC as a whole, what would it be?
Relax guys... I know the job is a real mother fucker at times (for zero pay at that)... hey I hear you... but before you start screaming at some twelve year old because he got in the wrong line just remember we're all here for a good time and you're not the goth/nu-metal version of Patrick Swayze in Road House. You know... since you asked.
