Dragon Con


Labor day weekend in Atlanta, Ga

www.dragoncon.org



Dragon Con is a 4 day event starting the Friday of Labor Day Weekend. It's being hosted in Downtown Atlanta at the Hilton, Hyatt Regency & Hyatt Marquis. (very oh-la-la hotels). Growing up in Atlanta, and going to Dragon Con several times before, I'll tell any who plan on attending, ESPECIALLY out of towners.

DO NOT DRIVE

you WILL find yourself in a parking lot. Downtown consists of almost entirely one-lane one-way streets, which usually end up as parking lots because everyone parks on the streets.
MARTA is good ---- the fee is $1.75, but starting july 1, you cannot pay in cash (stupid, yes?) so you have to buy a train/bus transit card, which is an additional $5....
retarded, i know, but that's Atlanta for ya...
you can find infor on MARTA and plan your trips around your hotels/homes here ---->www.itsmarta.com

DragonCon is not just a comic convention.....it's a fantasy - sci fi - RP - gaming - art - literature - movie - music fiasco.

Sadly, I didn't have the money to open a booth there this year, so wish my luck next year --- though several of my buds will in fact be there selling some art and poetry
and several others that are still planning. Also, they are not listed yet on the website yet, for some reason, but Jay, Grant & Steve from Sci-Fi's Ghost Hunter's (TAPS) are going to be there.


Sadly, I do not have pics from my past DragonCon adventures, though I wish I did.....they were such a hoot, but anyone who has pics or other things to add, please do, or feel free to add your name if your planning to attend ;)

2007-08-21 [Did you hear?]: cant be to late or else i wont be able to make it.. latest ill be able to wonder by myself is about 9:30ish.. im staying at the Marriott Marquis if someone want to try and find me if i cant make it. i also have a cell if someone want the number to try and help me cause its my first year there and im a bit stand off-ish and freaking out right now cause its so close..

2007-08-21 [Mordigen]: haha...it's understandable to be a bit freaked out --- it's definately a good place to have the buddy system LOL

2007-08-21 [Mordigen]: for those of you DA ers --- the user mooncalfe is expected to have a booth there --- Mooncalfe, aka, Ross Campbell is a pretty well known local Comic Artist and SCAD student -- he is the creator/writer/artist for Wet Moon and the Exaulted comics

2007-08-25 [Avoral]: Nice!
I'll check this booth out.

Damn, I wish my phone hadn't died on me, otherwise I'd post my number. But yeah. Saturday, 9-ish, MARTA station. Wewt.

2007-08-25 [Lyndarsia]: Wow, just a few days left. I am so excited!

2007-08-27 [Avoral]: You're not kidding.
It's been a few years for me.

2007-08-28 [Mordigen]: i'm afraid i'm not going to make it :( i just dont have the money right now---not unless we hit a lotto ticket or scratch off over the next couple of days LOL *crosses fingers* and avoral---it's not a good idea to pot your number online--if anything, send it in a private message or in a messenger, not as easy for people to hack and get it ;)

2007-08-28 [Lyndarsia]: Well, IF I can find my cord, I'll be posting pictures of each day on here. So, keep an eye. I'll be taking my laptop with me.

If anyone does go, look for me in my Vampire Knight costume. All three days. I just love it so much, I want to wear it! XD

2007-08-29 [Did you hear?]: i AM going. its gonna be crazy.. MARTA station Saturday around 9 i should be able to do.. and hope im not the only one there.. *sighs* not even two days eek!

2007-08-30 [Mordigen]: :( im gonna be lonely

2007-09-05 [Did you hear?]: DAMN IT! avoral if you went to the MARTA im like really sry.. ill explain later..

2007-09-05 [Avoral]: So who all went? Looks like there was too much chaos ensuing for the MARTA thing. I kinda had my girlfriend keeping me busy at the time. (GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER.)

2007-09-07 [Lyndarsia]: I was there! I was in the Vampire Knight day class Costume and the only girl in the Kairi school girl costume.

2007-09-09 [Did you hear?]: I was there, if either one of you went to the Calabrese, Lips Down On Dixie, Voltaire, or Brobdingnagian Bards, maybe even The Cruxshadows table on the bottom floor of the Hyatt you most likely saw me because that is where i was from thur. when i got my badge till mon. when i left unless it was sunday and a girl walked up to you trying to give you a piece of paper and a sticker for the Calabrese concert Regency Sunday night 1AM, that was me it was a lot of fun!

2007-09-11 [Avoral]: GAH. I was at Lips Down. And the Cruxshadows piss me off, because Rogue won't draw me a toucan.

2007-09-12 [Did you hear?]: lol i got a pic of him and didnt even know it was him till i got home cause i didnt go see them a stayed with calabrese to make sure i was against the stage..

2008-09-03 [Avoral]: How was it this year?

2008-09-04 [Mordigen]: I actually didn't get to go and stay -- I only got to stop by for just a bit, then I had to work all labor day weekend :(
but the little part I did get to experience was quite fun -- it was a ton of fun, it seemed a lot less chaotic this year, Probably due to the economy/gas prices that limited the typical hoards from raod-tripping down here like they typically do, but it was still very busy, just a much more manageable busy.........and everyone seemed...eerr......
well, the masses were much more shitfaced this year XD
even at 10 am!

2008-09-05 [Avoral]: lmfao.
Can't say I blame them. Worst I've done up there was pleasantly buzzed at noon, though.

Sucks I couldn't make it out. I had phone calls off the bloody hook trying to drag me up, but I was stuck working the whole time.

Are you going to AWA?

2008-09-05 [Mordigen]: I don't know, I might -- the crew that went to Dragon Con are already starting to plan for AWA, sooooo :P I might, and even if family life prevents me from doing so, they might conspire my escape and drag me along any how XD

2008-10-10 [Lothuriel]: Gosh I want to go to Dragon Con sooooo bad!!
