"Welcoming in the Dragon"

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." -Neale Donald Walsch

To bid the bunny farewell and dance in the dragon,
friends and I drove up to Salt Lake City
for the Video Games Live concert.

This was my first exposure to cosplayers.
AWESOME.
{A great prelude to February's Kami-Con excursion.}

Friend Laura was on-stage for the cosplay contest.
{I helped paint that pretty Cortana costume.}

The concert was composed (har har) of astounding talent:
The Utah Symphony
The Snow College Choir
with an incredibly talented soprano and flautist
{who cosplayed as Link when playing Zelda music with the Symphony}.

Video Games Live, my friends.
I suggest you attend, next year.

The real New Year celebration
happened at Friend Cory's apartment.
We rang in the Dragon with plenty of noms, games, and late-night fun.

From my dragon heart to yours {whatever animal you may be}:
Happy New Year!
