Another year, another DragonCon - this one seemed different somehow... maybe because so many "regulars" were conspicuously absent this time! Or maybe after a great C4 and fun CE I had just gotten my expectations up too much. BUT it was still a good time overall and I got to see many friends I don't usually get to see much. AND I learned something integral about myself - I have P.O.'s! (ask me to tell you that story some time...)
P.S. I stole a bunch of Jeff's pics... they start at #135! :D Thanks Jeff!

1 Thus starts DragonCon 2007 - with an ammo belt full of little German shots... oh wait, it's already empty. Go figure! CC is being pretty and tough competition for Fin and me.
2 Yay Fin! I heart Fin. Lots.
3 The first sandwich of the con - it appears we ambushed Jason into being the filling. I'm sure he didn't mind too much though.
4 Jeff volunteered for this sandwich.
5 Fin and Keith. Hotness always comes in twos.
6 See, told ya hotness comes in twos. This time Fin and Talent. Fin gets extra points for being doubly hot so early on.
7 Oh boy do I wish I had some Talent too. Haha, get it? I have no talent. At anything.
8 This may be the hottest sandwich of the con. "Where was I for this? :(" "LOL! Russ said the same t..." "I know where I was, I was ..." "Next time this happens I w..." View Comments...
9 Yay! Rich! Apparently he's made a huge mistake getting into the picture with me!
10 Wait, the sandwich sequence is a little off here... from left to right, Talent, Matt and Fin.
11 This is the sign Chinese people make on EVERY single picture they take. Thought my future sister-in-law might appreciate that I thought of her in the midst of all the debauchery. Matt expresses his love of the Asians too.
12 I heart Goro. As you will notice later on. But, he's Japanese, not Chinese. I hope I didn't offend him with the Chinese gesture :D "Don't worry! Japanese do t..." "Actually, isn't that the b..." View Comments...
13 Give me an S! Give me an I! Give me a T! Give me an H! What does that spell?!? SHIT, this is the first time I've ever worn a cheerleader costume. It only took 27 years! "Give me a H, give me a O, ..." "WOW!!!!
I'm gonna need ..." View Comments...
14 Hooray for Pom-Poms!
15 Tom's C3PO is awesome.
16 An entire Quidditch team!
17 Yay! It's Kenny, the SEXY Elvis Trooper! (see, I spelled it right this time)
18 Rick and Joy in SeaQuest DSV garb - they went to the Atlanta Aquarium like that! (I want to see pictures!)
19 Yay, Greg! I haven't seen him since my Clark U times!
20 Spidey is in a bit of a predicament. Those spears sure will tear through your spandex!
21 Hooray for Spartans. Everyone should have some.
22 I actually had to ask them to move their shields. What's the point of taking pictures otherwise, right? "You are absolutely right!!..." View Comments...
23 Material for costume: $30 Tanning Salon: $125 Accessories: $50 Actually wearing this without having to get completely wasted first: Priceless. "I love it! You were the h..." "WOW X 2!!!
Nat-Con rule..." "Yes, I agree. WOW!" View Comments...
27 I was this close to stealing Damien's hair to make my outfit look more authentic. "OMG, it's BUDDY JESUS! 2 g..." View Comments...
28 Spat and Kevin Sorbo!
29 Kevin Sorbo and I
30 Rich pales in comparison to me (literally, I mean).
31 The following few shots of Ruby, Reid, Sam and Jason must've been taken by someone else. I do not recall taking them at all, and I really wasn't THAT drunk. There were a lot of these - I already picked the best to stay.
32 Reid shows off his Star Wars boxers. Impressive, most impressive.
33 I think he just noticed I actually took a picture of those.
34 Now he's like "Oh what the hell, I'm already exposed as a geek. Might as well show some pride, right?!"
35 Balancing a red drink over a white toga while intoxicated... hmm...
36 Jacques expresses how he feels about the punch handed out at the Consluts.com party. Well, we can't all compare to the mixing genius of the J.
37 Jason and J.
38 "Oh well, if this is all there is..." - J "Shut up, Natalie likes that drink, she's gonna beat ya!" - Jeff
39 "Will you stop taking pictures of me already? Yeah I'm a geek, so WHAT!!!"
40 "Ok fine, just one more."
41 Oh la la, Mary Alice is rocking her gams! Jason approves.
42 "Is she still taking those damn pictures?!" - Reid "Resistance is futile." - Jason
43 Well, I had one of these with Joerg at C4, might as well have one with Spat at DC '07 - category pictures with guys who look more like my brother than my actual brother. One of these days I'll post a pic of him so ya'll will see what I'm talking about. Spat is much prettier than my brother, too.
44 Russ in a toga!
45 Jen and I. She is so ueber hot. Russ is a lucky guy.
46 Yeah ok, so they're both ueber hot. FINE!
47 Tony and Drew
48 Jacques shows off his "equipment" to Matt
49 Matt wishes he was "equipped" just like Jacques.
50 The newest LASH member! KAMIKAZE!
51 I'll let Albin come up with Kamikaze's superpowers. But he has a tendency to knock you out.
52 Funny how easily you can get some guys to do the "crane". Seriously, check out pic # 133.
53 He may look all nice and cuddly - until he crashes his plane into your destroyer.
54 Faces of Absinth # 1 - Jason
He took it pretty well.
55 Cherie has been Germanized!
56 Dicky and Cherie
57 Some random guys who liked me because I gave them little German drinks. And I got the one on the left lei'd. And they make a pretty picture.
58 Another brand new LASH member!
MAJOR JUGGS!
59 If there was any question as to why she picked that name, here's a close up. "*Gasp* Can't you tell, its..." View Comments...
60 Major Juggs and Heidi Ho. I forgot to bring my Stein - otherwise we would've broken out in a jugg fight I'm sure.
61 Hot Fuzz!!!
62 Reid drinks so much German beer he almost doesn't need the "honorary" face paint.
63 JP and Julie! Congrats again you two!
64 Notice the perfect gradation of tan from left to right... and the pretty ladies who rock them. "Ooh not the palest person ..." View Comments...
65 I heart Goro #2. He takes such nice pictures.
66 This is maybe a fifth of the little German bottles that were consumed Saturday night. "I know I helped consume so..." "Hey Nat, I hope that was n..." View Comments...
67 Dirk Diggler and Rollergirl
68 Rollergirl and Jason. I sense another Faces of Absinth Shot coming.
69 I have NO idea who the owner of that blue-sleeved arm is - but he made the picture!
70 Faces of Absinth #2 - Tom
He should've taken it better - he already had some last year!
71 Damian and I. There's a reason why I look so happy in this picture!
72 Awesome pirates!!!!
73 I finally found Mark at the Wolfpack Party!
74 Do the silly samurai dance... or something. Justine looks mildly amused.
75 They must've been short on pole dancers - so Dale filled in. Bless his heart.
76 Waaaaaaaaaait for iiiiiiiiit....
77 Faces of Absinth # 3 - Dale
Come on, you're a big guy! Suck it up!
78 Joy and Rick looking pretty. Pretty hot.
79 Oh, there goes another one....
80 Faces of Absinth # 4 - Goro
He actually seems pleasantly surprised that his throat didn't corrode!
81 I heart Bob. I heart a lot of people really. But Bob also takes nice pictures. At least most of the time.
82 Now Goro ALWAYS takes pretty pictures. Until he finally tires of me hanging on his arm all the time (see later).
83 I rather like this one of Damian and me, too. Although I don't usually like it so much when a guy is prettier than me. But I'll let this one go. This time.
84 Clutch was pretty drunk I think. And must've had the munchies.
85 Here it comes...
86 Faces of Absinth #5 - Clutch
Now THAT's how it's done! Watch and learn, ladies and gentlemen!
87 Goro makes me long for the good old times when Germany and Japan had that special bond going on...
88 Blue Steel baby!
89 David Faustino! He's super short! I had to bend down to take this picture with him! But he's also very cute.
90 Dale has prettier hair than me. I wonder if I should go blond. No, I don't think so.
91 Major Juggs snagged herself a chief! I kept waiting for his gaze to waver...
92 Talent and I.
93 Yay! Chief! I heart the chief.
94 Talent and Jen.
95 Keith takes very pretty pictures too. So much so that I wanted more (pictures) later on.
96 Yeah, I'm no Elvis Trooper. I should stick with the same old smile I have on every picture.
97 See, he's much better at it. And my pout or whatever it's supposed to be doesn't work either. But I still want those glasses.
98 Oh, that's such a terrible disguise, Matt! If you really wanted to hide from the hordes of hot, horny women chasing you, you would've picked something else ;)
99 Goro and Bob at the Wolfpack Party. Bob doesn't look drunk enough.
100 Jacques, on the other hand, all the more. Whatever that drink was that you mixed, it was really good!
101 I purposely didn't give Damian enough warning on this one so he wouldn't look as pretty this time. I think I have the upper hand in this one.
102 I don't "think" I had that much to drink... but how else to explain this picture... "I love it!!! Super cute!!" View Comments...
103 Keith with a BSG chick and a couple of Sith Cheerleaders. Yeah, I'd be smiling too.
104 Kenny and some cheerleaders. I think Kenny needs his own cheerleaders at this point.
105 I forget his name but he's Sherlock Holmes trooper! He seemed very nice. Must've been to take a picture with a random chick he didn't really know.
106 Ok, this picture actually has a story to it (other than "this is me and... looking pretty"). So there I was, innocently asking Keith for another picture since he takes such pretty ones, and this chick literally jumps on him! I mean damn, I knew he was popular, but to ruin my damn picture like that! SO RUDE! :D
107 Well, he made up for it.
108 I guess I should've been offended by his shirt on some level... but then again, it's a guy with a Bush mask! Shaking his butt! What's not to love.
109 I guess this can be used as incriminating evidence against me at some point.
110 Dale shows off his goodies.
111 Hmm... Jacques is so hot.
112 This is a picture from Joy's and Rick's room. People had been throwing bibles out the windows of the Hyatt. I guess Buddy Christ is as close to God as you'll get at DragonCon.
113 Mai Tai Tag Team! Since I was SO frickin delayed on Thursday, Jeff and I finally went to our birthday dinner at Trader Vic's on Sunday night.
114 Spat's shirt says:
"From: God - To: Women"
Hey, it IS my birthday in a few days... "You should have unrwapped ..." View Comments...
115 Joyce!
116 Spat's costume in an effort to defend his title in this year's Spattle in Atlantle. I don't want to know what that stuff on his nose is.
117 He was battling CC again (who was sporting a naked Sims outfit) and another guy whose name escapes me. But I got to flog him a couple of times.
118 Spat and Heather - the real thing.
119 Meow!
120 Alison and I in pirate garb. Ok, I'm only a wanna-be pirate. Might as well have been a gypsy or something. "You were a really hot pira..." "Two of the 3 groupies I ha..." View Comments...
121
122 I tells ya, I should not try to vary my facial expressions in pictures. The smile works, at least! "I SWEAR! I didnt give her ..." View Comments...
123 That's better! I heart Tom. "I heart you to Nat" View Comments...
124 Full body Spat.
125 I heart Cherie.
126 Umm... yeah.
127 I had to get my boob inspection renewed. Make sure everything's in order. "Kenny always does a good j..." View Comments...
128 Kenny didn't do it right the first time so we had to do it all over again. "Oh go ahead, Act like you ..." View Comments...
129 300! Pounds!
"Tonight, we will dine at KFC! Tomorrow, at the Varsity!!"
130 See, Goro is finally getting tired of me. It's like Goro is the new Albin. Or Leon. See previous DragonCon's for details.
131 Told ya it was easy to make guys do the crane!
132
133 Gay Spidermen!
134 I heart Aaron. But he needs some sun. Seriously. I'm starting to feel self-conscious.
135 More pics - the following are from Jeff's camera.
137 Yay! Found myself a Spartan willing to take a pic with me! (his wife who was doing the same costume had just wandered off for a bit)
138
139
140 Yay! Scott Maul!
141 Dicky! As you'll see, I had my picture taken with just about EVERYONE at the con.
142 I was very sad to hear Spat decided against becoming a Spartan himself. "Maybe next year. I needed..." View Comments...
143 Wait! Jeff's in the picture! Then who on earth is taking this one???
144 There's Sherlock Trooper!
145 You can never have enough Aaron.
146 And, of course, Goro.
147 They had been taking so many pictures already, they look positively bored to take any more with me.
148
149 Batman meets Gorgo.
150 Ruby and Jenn out of costume for a change!
151 I think I saw Alan maybe 2 times all weekend. I wonder what he was doing all the time?
152 Found me a Goddess!
153 I like this one. I made it my myspace profile pic for the time being.
154 Did Romans and Spartans get along? Hmm....
155 As I now know, this is Clutch as Yoshimitsu!
156 Faces of Absinth # 6 - Cherie
And she's the CLEAR winner. "Yep, And thats the ABSINTH..." "Awesome Cher! And thats e..." View Comments...
157 Me and my picture-takin' man
158 Jeff finally got a signature Spat boob grab. He'd been wanting one since 2002.
159 Yay! Seedorf!
160 Notice the bottle in my hand... Gorgo is getting comfortably buzzed...
161 Clutch doesn't look too happy - must be pretty hot under that helmet!
162 Rick and I
163
164 Rick, Dale and some other guy looking all Spartany.
165 WHY do they always have to hide behind those shields after they've been working so hard on their abs just for this? :D
166 I heart Jeff! Happy Birthday! (soon!)
167 Teri and I
168 Dude, Jeff, you may want to back away, slowly... I think the devil has an eye out for you...
169 Double boob grab!
170 Richard and Jeff. Richard had food poisoning on Friday (or Thursday) and wasn't quite his partying self. But he was back in full action the next day.
171 I heart Tony. He was my roomie. And didn't snore. Yay!
172 I heart Richard. I can't wait til he's my dad-in-law. I really missed Ty at this con :(
173 I think I was trying to steal Jason's laurels... judging from the look on his face it seems the top of his head has many many nerve endings. Notice the bottle of Absinth, too.
174 Yay! Reid!
175 Richard and Aaron (that's the chief's real name as I finally found out)
176 I am so happy I got this picture. Again, I heart the chief. He's in my favorite TV show. "I love it! I heart Aaron ..." View Comments...
177 Jeff and Aaron
178 Jeff and Kevin Sorbo
179 Another pic with the chief. Looks like he's easily distracted. (or maybe just annoyed that I asked for another one, hehe)
180 Faces of Absinth # 7 - Allison
Perfect, just perfect. "OHHHH ... I remember that ..." "Oh dear... this is my new..." View Comments...
181 Buddy Christ has you covered.
182 Jeff and Fin "Jeff is SO nice... and one..." View Comments...
183 Fin looks so pretty all the time. I'm jealous. "Awww... I miss Natalie. :(..." View Comments...
184 Getting drunker by the minute it seems...
185 I remember this. Vaguely.
186 Jen and Russ "Thanks for taking this pic..." View Comments...
187 Matt and Jeff. Matt clearly stole my Chinese photo gesture. Although I think if you tilt it 90 degrees to the left (his left) it has a naughty meaning of some sort.
188 Yeah... Jacques was having a good old liquid time. The stories I've heard about his drunken filming escapades...
189 Jeff stole my signature smile!
190 Hmm... I see a wardrobe malfunction looming... "It works fine for me!! I'..." "side boobage alert!" View Comments...
191 I was liking Arturo very much that night. "Awesome pic! And nice sid..." View Comments...
192 And Bob stopped by, too!
193 Don't remember who this was but the pic came out pretty nicely considering the amount of alcohol consumed at this point...
194 I like Spartans.
195
196 Another huggy picture with Jeff
197 He's only so tall cause I had to wear heel-less sandals with this costume.
198 Definitely rocking the side-boob at this point. Strangely, nobody pointed that out to me. Thanks guys! :D
199 Well, it only took three conventions between the US West coast and England to finally get a picture of Matt an I.
200 Ok I can't think of a caption for this one. :D
201 Kenny the SEXY Elvis Trooper joins the lower folk at the Hyatt bar.
206 Kenny likes the nipples. Especially plastic ones.
207 Richard, Drew, Jeff and Spat. Spat looks absolutely dashing in his pyjamas. "Yes, the onesie was very s..." View Comments...
208 "And this is how Mr. Vader was choking me in the movie..."
209 Jeff gets his choke on, too. Where's Dave Prowse when you need him?
210 Jeff's roomies and partners in crime - Mike and Mike!
211 Cami! Where's the pink wig??
212 Damian is super!
213 Faces of Absinth # 8 - ???
I forgot her name but she handled it quite well!
214
215 Faces of Absinth # 9 - Shipley
You'd think he just had a little party in his pants or something.
216 Faces of Absinth # 10 - Scott
Oh yeah, you need a good breather after a sip of the green poison.
217 Damn I wish I was this sexy!
218 Lori! And Scott and Jeff demonstrating how Scott usually looks in pictures.
219 Ori, Jeff and Mai!
220 I found Arturo again...
221
222 You could put an eye out with those! (when you can't wear a bra under something you have to help yourself with other tools... resulting in boobs a la Madonna ca. the year I was born. "Looks like you took out hi..." "Hey, I want one of those i..." View Comments...

233 More boozers - Dean, Jeff and, naturally, Jacques.
234 Is that Toby? I *think* it's Toby...
235 Goro, hatless. It appears I like to steal things for pictures, too. Watch out for those accessories!
236 Matt and Jeff
237 Mai and I heart Jeff.
238 Yay Fin! Jeff made this shirt for her. I'm glad she did get to wear it, if only on the last night. And it SUCKS that I didn't get to see her wearing it :( But I'll have her for a full weekend soon :) YAY! "except when it means yes!" View Comments...
