I went to Dragon*Con in Atlanta Thursday through Monday and I had the best time! I have been hearing about it from friends and looking forward to it for months. I went with my friend Christy and members of our Amtgard group. The drive up was not so great- one speeding ticket and a tire that lost its tread on I-75! But once we arrived it was all smooth sailing.
Dragon*Con 2007 was everything that I had been imagining! It was full of sci-fi and fantasy panels on art, writing, Star Trek, Ghosthunters (TAPS), British Sci-Fi (Doctor Who!!!), Comics, costuming, Stargate, Harry Potter, and much more.
I attended mostly art panels, though I did catch a couple of Star Trek and Doctor Who panels too. My friend juried into the art show there so I got to help set up and watch the booth a little too. I was surprisingly sober for a good portion of the event (with the big exception being Thursday night) and our group from Florida did group themed costumes on Friday night (Greek and Roman Gods/Goddesses) and on Saturday night (Monty Python's Holy Grail).
I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I could have but I did get some video of John De Lancie (Q from Start Trek) and the TAPS group. It was an AWESOME trip and I am counting down the days until the one next year!
