The 25th Dragon*Con has come and gone as has the 10th Annual Dragon*Con Parade. But...as long as there's an Internet (or some iteration of it), there will always be memories of the great times had. This year's Parade was exceptional for several reasons.
First and foremost, getting to experience it with friends makes it a lot more fun, even if I have to grovel apologetically to said friends for being totally engrossed in the Parade, to the point of completely ignoring them so I could make photos and video.
I promised a couple of my friends that I would hire a photographer next year and actually enjoy the Parade with them. We'll see how that works out...

There were cars, motorcycles, aliens, at least a legion of Stormtroopers, celebrities, dragons, thousands of onlookers, princesses, robots, Cylons, time machines, and at least one flying monkey!

But the grand prize was her very enthusiastic, loud greeting when Chewbacca walked by..."Hello, Big Foot!" I laughed so hard, in great delight and admiration for her cognitive skills, that I had to stop videotaping because my laughter was shaking the camera so.
That little Dragon*Con enthusiast was pure delight.
