DragonCon 2010

After several years of only being able to enjoy DragonCon vicariously through my friends, I'll finally be going up to Atlanta this September to geek out with the best of them!

So I'm just curious: Who else will be going to DragonCon 2010?

Oh man, I want to so bad. As of right now though, I can't afford it.
More vicarious living for me.

Well that blows! Everyone should get to go to the D-Con or some kind of geek con at least once in their life.

Penny Arcade eXpo for me, this year.

I also wish I could afford it.

i have 2 preordered memberships that i am willing to sell(we would have to do a transfer) because my fiance and i can no longer go. we bought them for 160, i believe member ships are 180 right now, and i am also willing to be a little flexible on the price(would prefer to sell them face value, but anything is better than nothing). send me a message if interested!

So has anyone else decide that they'll be going to DragonCon this year?

Wear a kilt and you might make it on a calender.

Yeah, and maybe if I took the time to proof read my posts, I might be President some day. How's that for a non sequitur?

There is a web-comic artist who takes a leaf-blower to Dragoncon every year, then blows it up men's kilts, takes pictures, and makes it into a calender. I know this because a friend of mine made me buy one for her when I met Jennie Breeden. (the artist)

Ooooh, I see. I might need to dust off the old kilt then.

What, no SG booth? I moved to ATL and still no SG sponsored events. (starts looking for a job in CA).

I will be there!

See yah there Jim!

I was there on the Sunday, having taken in the Uproar gig up the road on the Saturday. It was ok, since it's so big and so spread out some sign posting on the streets would have been nice to help find our way around but oh well. The Adam Savage interview was amusing, particularly talking about the upcoming 'Taking Candy from a Baby' episode.
