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 ;)

2007-08-17 [Avoral]: Hey, so let's designate a time and place to meet up. We'll be like our own crazy-ass cyber-clique.

2007-08-17 [Mordigen]: I actually don't know if i'm going to be able to make it or not anymore >.<  money is so tight right now, but we'll see, i really hope i do ---- and it is so cazy, and so big i have no idea where to designate as a meet up place

2007-08-18 [Avoral]: I know what you mean. I've been there before, what with the lack of funding and all. Good luck! And if you can't make it, hey, you can't make it.

2007-08-18 [Did you hear?]: im up for a designate a time and place to meet up.. only thing i know for sure that im going to though is the dahn look a like contest and the Brobdingnagian Bards concert mark and andrew are so nice.. but im still up for it other then those two things i have no real plans there..

2007-08-19 [Mordigen]: To make it easiest, I would vote for a place closest to the most well known MARTA train station, it's big, public and everyone knows where they are, and most of the hotels (if not all) that is hosting Dragon Con are connected to the rails, so its easy to find and even for outta towners comin in that may get lost, all you gotta do is ask anyone around you, and as long as they are not *also* an outta towner --- any Atlnatan can quickly guide you to a MARTA station LOL so it would be simple to find

2007-08-19 [Did you hear?]: well it doesnt matter to me this is my first year going..

2007-08-20 [Avoral]: Not a bad idea. I'm all for the MARTA station. I'd say Saturday, so everyone gets the chance to get acquainted with the convention for themselves.
And I assume we're all night owls, so sometime in the evening sounds good to me.

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..
