Wizard World St. Louis Comic-Con 2013

Apart from some minor hiccups and one small meltdown, St. Louis Comic-Con was fantastic!

My Sun and Stars arrived on Thursday night, and we immediately got to work with everything ever. Luckily, we were armed with Angry Orchard.

We spent the entirety of Friday running last-minute errands and finishing up costumes. Nora actually built an entire costume that day. But I'll let her tell you more about that experience.

We arrived at the con early Friday evening, dressed, of course, as Daenerys and Viserys Targaryen. It was a  triumph. Some of the highlights of the evening include Nora being asked if she was Tyrion Lannister, and me receiving a beautiful drawing of the Khaleesi from an artist whose name I've been furiously trying to track down (with no success, thus far).

twins!

We got home around 9:30 that night, opting to skip the Drink and Draw because we had so much work to do on our Lightning and Vanille costumes. We worked until 2 or so and then got up early the next morning to continue. I then had the aforementioned small meltdown because of my wig and other terribly inaccurate bits of my Lightning costume. But...after some convincing, I put that business on anyway, and off to the con we went. Nora spent the car ride drawing a l'Cie mark on her thigh.

our costumes aren't perfect, but we had a great time :)

We were stopped for many photos. Obviously, the con crowd had no idea just how terrible my Lightning was. There were fun times had by all, we got hit on (hey, nerd bros, just let ladies at cons be, alright?), and Nora purchased a Petyr Baelish pin because she is the worst.

I'm actually the best.

That afternoon, we changed into our Daenerys and Assassin's Link costumes, respectively, walked around some more, and then entered the costume contest, where we met some pretty amazing bros.
I got to have a Wizardtini with Aegon "The Conqueror" Targaryen, and we headed out.

Targaryens off the job

And then Sunday came, and it decided to blizzard. There was no driving into the city in that weather, so we spent the day being angry and playing Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit. We also watched some bad anime. It was pretty magical.
