Title: Dragon*Con 2014
Post by: tehjaybo on July 14, 2014, 12:34:24 PM

Short notice, but the PAX thread made me start thinking about this.

Aug 29 - Sept 1, 2014

Atlanta, GA

Anyone in the area / going to Dragon Con?

Would be nice to get a group together.

I'm in town and planning on being at con for at least a few days. I'll go ahead and warn everyone, though- I don't got to these things for panels or discussions or whatever. I go to cut loose and be publicly drunk for however many days. If you can deal with that, we can hang.

I work right around where it's usually held.  And will be avoiding it at all costs, which is pretty easy this year-- going on a short trip to Savannah that weekend.

I don't know anything about Dragon Con, but GIS makes it look awesome:

Edit:

Further Googling is revealing a less awesome side (http://www.ajc.com/news/news/breaking-news/dragoncon-founder-denied-bond/nXYmF/?__federated=1).

Quote

The founder of the popular science-fiction convention DragonCon was denied bond on Friday in a Gwinnett County case involving multiple allegations of child molestation that has dragged on for more than a decade.

King Jaehaerys once told me that madness and greatness were two sides of the same coin. Every time a new Targaryen is born, he said, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.

I haven't checked out DragonCon before but a few friends of my ex go down every year and they said it's pretty fun. I'll be attending Otakon in Baltimore next month though. And possibly a day of NY Comic Con, not sure yet on that one...
