Dragon Con begins
Friday, August 29th, 2008 by tcg
I’m at Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA. We arrived Thursday afternoon just in time to stand in line to get our passes. Six people in front of us was an old online friend of ours, TheRealMe. Soon, we met lots of old friends.
After I received my pass, I was hanging around outside the media and special guests room. While standing there I saw Richard Hatch. I’ve seen him at past conventions and he still looks great. Unfortunately he was surrounded by folks so I was unable to get a moment with him. I turned around and saw Pierre Bernard of the Recliner of Rage. He was very friendly and spoke at length with me about his D*C experience last year and his excitement at being a guest this year. On Saturday he’ll be a guest judge for the Stargate costume contest and invited me to attend. I’ll see him on Saturday to check out the Gate world creations.
The rest of the evening was spent having dinner with friends and standing in line for more passes for our other friends. It was a great intro to the con. Not many costume were out on display yet, but we saw a few great costumes. Our friend Lissa met a Wookie that over 7 feet tall. A nice Jedi let her borrow his lightsaber for a quick pic. I met a very lovely Andorian. Some Troopers stood and talked with us a while on a street corner. ManWithPez found a Big Trouble in Little China costume group. He snapped a picture for me. By the time I caught up with him, the group had spread out and I couldn’t get the gang war with Jack in the middle. Maybe I’ll see them again.
Today is the official first day of events. Busy schedule ahead of everyone today. I will be joining Lissa as a Dr. Horrible groupie today and ManWithPez will be Dr. Horrible. We met some Horrible fans that are going to hook us up with Evil League of Evil ribbons. Yay!
Big thanks to Costume Craze for helping make my D*C experience possible this year.
