Totally just for fun, because both Dragon Con and Medieval Times are so awesome, even though it was a couple of weeks ago, I want to share with you a few photos from the Second Annual "Dragon Con Night at Medieval Times".
Prior to the two-hour dinner and tournament, there was a costume contest!
My favorite couple at the event was Tony Stark and Flo, the Progressive Girl (which happens to be the insurance company that covers my car--No, they didn't pay me to say that, nor her to dress like that). Aren't they awesome?!
This was the second annual Dragon Con Night at Medieval Times...and I hope there will be many, many, many more!
The Arena was sold out, so ALL the Medieval Times staff were there...including "Greg" (I think that was his name) the hunchback...This guy was hilarious! "Thank you!" to all the Medieval Times staff--including Lady Ann, the Master Falconer--for making this a fantastic event!
I have no idea what he was doing with the bubble wrap!
There were many more costumes there than I'd even hoped for. I had just come from work, so I didn't have the opportunity to don my Starfleet tunic, but perhaps next year. There was only one Star Trek couple there that evening, that I noticed, but there were quite a few Medieval, Steampunk, and other similar genre costumes...all fantastic!
There were 10 contestants in the children's category of the costume contest..."Dr. Who" won that category, for obvious reasons...just look at that adorableness! Who else could have won?! And don't you love the Tardis bag?
In addition to the 10 children who entered the costume contest, there were approximately 70 adults who entered the contest! And the costumes were brilliant...absolutely and totally brilliant!
The winner of the adult category was none other than Iron Man, of the Marvel Universe (see Tony Stark in the first photo)...who crafted his costume from scratch! He totally deserved to win!
What young lady doesn't want to be a princess...and have a pony?! There were a few princesses there that evening, but none quite as spectacular as the one pictured above. She was marvelous!
If you've been to Dragon Con you know how magnificent the creativity of the cosplayers can be. It was no different this night, or knight, in some cases. The evening's Wind Sock Dancer was a favorite and gave quite the animated performance!
Some of the costumes were waaaaaay over the top! I'd seen the Clown Darth Vader from across the room, but didn't realize he was on a giant chicken until he took the stage (I'm assuming it was a "he"...could have been anyone!). This was also a crowd favorite, even if a little creepy. Okay...a lot creepy. But still brilliant.
The tournament was fantastic, as it has been every time I've been to Medieval Times...now up there in number. The horses are magnificent, as are the knights and their performances. This is a fantastic show. It's great for a special event (there are birthday celebrations ranging from single digit to 60s, the times I've been there) for all ages and all special occasions.
I have to give a shout out to Leah, our "serving wench" (That's her on the left carrying the red & yellow flag!). She's absolutely brilliant! She waited on my party the last time I was there and she was equally brilliant that time. "Thank you, Leah" for making our Medieval Times experience so much fun!
So...looks like a great time, right? Whether you go to the Dragon Con Parade, the Dragon Con Convention, or Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament at the Atlanta Castle, you're in for a grand, unique, unparalleled Atlanta experience.
