This Labor Day weekend I’ll be heading down to Atlanta, Georgia with 3 friends for 3 nights and 4 days of chaos known as Dragon*Con. It’s the largest Science Fiction convention in the world (actually, I can’t prove that - but it’s apparently really popular) and it’s a free for all of all things sci-fi, comic book, video game and stereotypically nerd related.
But J, you’re not a nerd! Why, you’re one of the coolest guys I’ve ever known!!
I know, I know. But I love Star Wars and Lord of the Rings as much as the next fellow, plus I have never been to anything like this and I love people watching. And what better forms of people watching can one ask for than a Miss Klingon Pageant, a Storm Trooper parade and cosplayers as far as the eye can see? Aside from daily panels and other activities there’s a round the clock short film theater open, concerts and parties galore. And let’s not forget the Robot Battles. I’m going with as open a mind as possible, anxious to do and see what this event has to offer.
Having three knowledgeable guides with me for this, my first D-Con, I will rely on their experience to humiliate me help me get the most out of my weekend. I’ll try and give a fun recap of what transpires once I get back and catch up on all the sleep I won’t be getting while I’m there.
Make it so.

Can I give a subtle nudge toward an update? I can’t wait to see what impressions you actually deem fit to print.
