Dragon*Con: Visual Evidence

[mizarchivist]

Some highlights of my southern adventure-- I've uploaded the whole thing to Picasa.


James Marsters talking about... something cool. Also: wearing an Obama pin. Our Mr. Marsters is quite well-spoken and smart.

Gigi (Chiana) prepares for her spanking from Virginia (Zaahn) for her phone ringing during the panel

Dragon*Con TV had a cool Adult Swim/Robot Chicken thing going on- "MaQuil... The night time sniffling, sneezing, stuffy head because you know something, what you know you can't explain but you feel it, you've felt it your whole life, felt that something is wrong with the world of Medicine"... (Matrix styled NyQuil)



Please note her braids end at the top of her boots, and at the bottom of each is a bronze key.
Ok, it's a little tempting to make my reservations for hotel and membership now....

My hubby mentioned that DragonCon was last weekend, and that we'd like it. He kinda wants to go... What do you think? If we were to budget for such an event, how much would you say you spent all weekend?

Let's see... 700 for travel and lodging; food is variable- but you'll be eating out every meal for 4-5 days. Swag: I spent 100 on autographs (crazy, but... that's why I was there-ish?) plus another 50 easily on random odds and ends. Round up to 1000 each and that should be pretty close. This doesn't include the random stuff that I'd probably have bought eventually anyway (like new sneakers and a shoulder bag, etc.) the week before :p

Just imagine a large populated city dropped into a major urban area. This city is entirely populated by geeks. You start to expect that everyone you run across in downtown Atlanta will have a lanyard and a big plastic badge around their necks. Entirely normal to see obscure geeky t-shirts and Jack Sparrows and Imperial officers strolling around. And lots and lots of Dr. Horribles.

Next year, I so want to go. Everyone I know who went seems to have had a blast.

You really would. Start by booking your hotel room -- preferably 6-9 months in advance. Would we could have found a vacancy at the top of the hill.

I'm so glad you had a good time!
